that had assembled there.
AT q business session of the con-
Ventlon, toward the close, Sioux Falls

association during the coming cam
paign. A number of other cities in the
state were candidates for selection as
the place for the headquarters, but

Falls and the advantages which the
committee could realize from
a location here, this city vas selected.

IMPROVEMENT IN
DEEP WATERWAYS
Certain That It Would Lower
Cost of Living-Public Build
ings Should Wait.

New Orleans, La, Nov. 5.-GoverIior
r. S. Vessey, OF South Dakota, In his
statement to the convention here SAID:
South Dakota is deeply interested IN
the water way project. We believe this
to be the great national project of to-
day. as it has been clearly demon
strated that transportation enters into
the cost of living of every 1ndlvldual
to the extent of one-third OF he ac-
tual cost paid by the consumer. we
believe it the duty of the national gov
to give this question the rlght
of way in the coming congress-. The
cost of living of the average individuaI
has increased in the past II years FULLY
30 per cent, while the average salary
has not increased at the same ratio.
eff it is possible to lower the cost of
living by the Improvement of our ma
tional streams it certainly becomes the
duty of our national government to use
it's influence in that direction. We be-
lieve that the consumers commerce on
the rivers has declined in h past Is
years largely because of the excessive
dock charges along the streams. We
believe the government should nave
proper control over the terminal facili-
ties. If his is not done it would be
an easy matter to stifle and ruin our
navigation after the river has been
fully improved.
II believe it the duty of the com
ing congress to make public all the in
formation they have acquired on this
subject and if it is insufficient for them
to act intelligently, appoint such a COM
petent commission as will give them the
full information in the shortest possible
time. The scramble for federal build
fngs by the individual congressman can
well afford to take a second place, in
relation to this national project and the
people car afford to learn how the
congressman that represent them stand
on this great problem.
II have great faith in our national
congress fully believing that they are
ready to carry forward this great work
when it is reasonably demonstrated
that it is to the interest of the country
at large. South Dakota will hail with
delight the day when decides
to act OF this great problem"

INDIANS RECEIVE
CHOICEST LANDS
ON RESERVATION
Become Landlords by Leasing
Their Lands to Ranchmen
for Stock Ranges.

LeBeau, S. D., Nov. 6.-With the
opening of a few more tracts of reser-
walton land, it is believed Uncle Sans
famous land lotteries will pass into his
tory.
The lands that nave been thrown
open to settlement came into possession
of the Indians through treaties with
the government and were set apart for
their sole use. Thousands of acres We're
leased out as cattle ranges and even
today vast tracts of land are used as
pastures. One ranch alone leases about
Loco, 600 acres directly across from Lee
Beau, but q large portion of this will
have to be given up when the next
opening takes place. The revenue from
these leases is paid to the government,
for the Indians, except in cases where
a lease is made directly with an IN
dian, and most of the ranches are now
endeavoring to secur this kind of lease
to offset the loss of lands that will pe
thrown open to settlement.
Indians Are Thrifty.
This arrangement has beer satisfac-
tory to the Indian who now appreciates
the benefits he is receiving as a ward
of the government, but the Indian is
no different from his white brother.
With the acquisition of wealth he seeks
greater richie and they come to him In
no small measure through the opening
to settlement OF the In
the allotments prior to an opening the
Indians select the land they desire.
Each head of a family is allowed a Sec
ton, the IL a half section and ev-
cry child a quarter section. They are
permitted to take any part Of this and
wherever they desire.
Thus, most of the Indians take a

er locality. A large family can control
many quarters of and and as they will
not cultivate it they are permitted to

Hundreds of these quarters will no
doubt be leased by settlers in the
Cheyenne and Standing Rock reserva-
tons next spring and as the revenue
will be greater than that derived from
the ranches it Will be seen that the
days of the great ranges are about over.
