To Establish Hospital

Pierre.-D. C. Thomas, one OF the
members Of the state board of chart
ties passed through here o nhis way
to Custer. where he will meet with the
members OF that board to look n {
the matter Of establishing the tuber-
culosis hospital provided for at Gus
ter, by the lasct legislative session.
There appears to be a hitch in the
location of that institution. While
the state provided an appropriation
for a building, nothing was done to
provide money for securing a site.
The hoard also seems to find 1t hard
to secure a location which will give
them sufficient farm land to supply
the needs Of the institution, even
If they had the money to buy. There
has been talk of locating the institu-
ton at some other point, eve If they
so desired 1t is not likely that the
hoard would have the power to divert
the funds provided for Custer, to any
other point. The people OF Custer
are up against the proposition OF
either providing a site. or waiting for
another appropriation for the pur-
chase Of the m unless they can In
duce the national government to do
nate TO them a site for the purpose,
out OF the forest reserve lands.

MAX BASS DEAD
Was Immigration Man. For Dakotas
For Many Years

Sioux Falls-The news of the death
Of Hon. Max Bass, which occurred at
his home in the city of Chicago last
week, will be received with sorrow
throughout South Dakota, where Mr.,
Bass had many warm personal friends
and thousands Of settlers who rem M
Der him as the guiding spirit in di ect-
ing their destinies on the boundl SIS
prairies of the Dakotas in the ca ly
| eighties. Mr.. Bass was practically the
| commissioner Of immigration for Da-
kota Territory for several years.
| When the two states Were carved u
he came to South Dakota with the
then Commissioner Of immigrant n,
Hon. p. F. Mcclure, and became a
citizen Of Pierre, from which point.
during Mr.. McClure's administr atom
| of the Office, he directed affai s. When
the Hon. Frank Haggerty, then OF
| Aberdeen, was made cOmmiss oler,
the Office was moved to that city wi h
| Nr. Bass In charge, and some OF the
most effective work ever done for the
| development Of a new state, was IL
| rected by Mr.. Bass. At the time OF h s
death he was the commission r O m
| migration for the Great Northe n r H.
| road, and in that capacity II may b.
| truthfully said, was able to give N)rt1
| Dakota, through the aid OF the rail-
| road he represented, the great inf K
| Of immigration the state has en- oytG
| during the past fifteen years. II Is in
| deed a calamity to the western s'atn rs
to have a man of Mr.. Bass ability TO
| his particular line of work stricken In
the prime of life, for there are yet
| vast sections to be peopled in the west,
| and he, above all others, had his pans
| fully matured to bring out the poo
| pie and to demonstrate to them Their
| ability to make money and 10 secure
| FOR themselves and their fam les a
competence. Speaking Of TIE funeral
,ribute to this worthy friend OF South
| Dakota. the general passenger agent OF
he Great Northern railroad saws: Il
| never say such a gathering at any
| similar occasion. II seemed as J. each
| nerson present has lost a close person
| II friend. as indeed many Of us Rad.
| But there seemed to be deener fee'lNg
| " grief on the part OF casual acqnaint-
ances than | ever saw before. Max was
| not only a good fellow. but he was
| also a nan worth while; his work had
| an object, and everything he I'D re-
| suited. in some good to his friends and
| COUNTRY" For the last few ve'rs III

own. and at his funeral they paid him
a great tribute 1t Is said a car load

Supreme Court Rules

Pierre.-Under the provisions OF
Chapter 10, of the Laws OF 1909, 1t
was made che duty of the supreme
SQUIRT, on or before the 18th day of
October, to promulgate uniform rules
of action in civil cases, for a~lr'courts
Of record in the state. The court
has recently handed down h Q new
rules, which go into effect from this
date, and effect all circuit, county n
municipal courts, in fact all courts OF
record in the state except the supreme
court, which has its own rules, which
can not be applied in trial courts
The new regulations are contained m
twenty-six rules, n of the main pur-
poses being to not only make the
practice uniform all ove the state,
but also to e~xpediate the trials of cas-
es In trial courts. These rules are
rather lengthy, and while Of more
than passing interest to any citizen IF
the state who becomes tangled in liti-
cation, are Of especial interest to at
torneys, as they are under the pro-
visions of the rules from this time on.
The PRONUNCIATION Of the new rules
for lower court procedure, coupled
with the order of the supreme court
cutting off cases from the October
calendar allowing the clearing up Of
old cases or the calendar, and starting
with a "clean slate" at the April
term next, should go a long way to-
ward reducing the flaws delay in
South Dakota in the future.

Filing at Belle Fourche

Belle Fourche-The filings in the
land office here are exceeding all ex-
pectations. 1t was expected that the
office would be a busy one, but such
a great rush of business was not an
ticipated. The daily filings of home
steaders are averaging about twenty,
and on some days as many as fifty
even have entered. This rush Is part
ly due to the fact that the Northwest
ern railroad is building north from
this city into the hite Owl country, so
that section which has hitherto been
inaccessible will soon have railroad
communications with other parts of
the state.
At Sturgis also, about twenty-seven
miles from here there is a similar
rush for land. During the past sum-
mer one hundred and twenty-five car
loads Of household goods arrived here
for settlers who are taking up land.
All these people who are filing will be
ready to go on their land in the early
spring, and as they are most OF them
old farmers from Iowa. Nebraska, Min
nesota, and other central states, they
will soon increase the acreage under
cultivation by an immense amount.

Will Entertain Educators

Lead-Great preparations are being
made to entertain the South Dakota
Educational association which holds
it's annual meeting in this city the first
week in November. The work OF Sc
curing Accommodations for the visitors
has been well ~systematized. and prac-
tically every private house in the city
will be open to the visitors. II Is ex-
pected that the attedance will run as
high as eight or nine hundred. This is
the first meeting since the time was
changed from the Christmas HOLIDAYS
to November, and II is thought that
the change in time will attract many
people. Some eminent educators have
been secured for the meeting, and spe-
cial trains and rates have been secur-
ed in the Hills so as to take the visi-
tors through the scenic part OF the
country during their visit.
