DEPARTMENT RULING
EANQRS HQMESIEAQERS

Lamro, S. D., Sept. 1S.-Ever since
a tract Of nearly 10000 0 acres of land
formerly belonging to the Rosebud In
dian reservation in Trip county was
opened to white settlement there has
been the most bitter feeling between
the homesteaders and white owners of
cattle who had been grazing their herds
of cattle on the land, in accordance
with agreements entered into with the
Indians, with the consent Of the Indian
bureau officials at Washington. The
settlers have steadily maintained that
the herds had no right IN the ceded
lands, and this view now has been con-
frmed by the authorities Of the interior
department., who hold that all grazing
leases in the coded portion Of Trip
county expired in June of last year, and
that the cattlemen who have agree
ments with the Indians have had no
rights in the coded portion of Trip
county since that time. In view of this,
lf the cattlemen continue to disregard
the rights of the homesteaders by per-
hitting their cattle to continue to roam
over the ceded lands, they will be de-
clared common trespassers and will be
prosecuted under the laws of South Da-
kOta.

OPERATE sAWMiLL
ON OPEN PRAIRIE

LIE Beau. S. D., Sept. Exchanges in
the bed of the Missouri river have rem
dered homeless many persons in times
past, get the vagaries Of the stream
bring wealth daily to the door of the
Springfield brothers, who are located
near LIE Beau, across the Missouri from
he Cheyenne Indian reservation, about
to be opened for settlement.
In seeking out new beds, through
which to flow, the river often passes
through land heavily timbered. Great
cottonwoods and other standing trees
are uprooted and carried upon the
floods.
The Springfield brothers got hold of
an idea. Knowing that the price of
lumber in a prairie country was very
high, they conceived the idea of rescu-
ing these waits of the forest and cut
ting them up for mercantile stuff.
In pursuance of their idea they hired
Indians to get out in skiffs in high wa
ter and tow all the big driftwood to
some convenient sandbar. where it is
anchored until the food has subsidized.
Then he logs + RATED and towed to
a little inlet where a portable saw1nill
has been set up.
Here every day in the summer time
four men cut from 5000 tx 5000 feet OF
lumber a day.
