A DESERVED APPRECIATION.

The Weekly State Spirit of Huron hat
the following comment to make upon
Congressman Martins recent consulta.
ton with President Taft regarding mat.
ters of national importance.
Representative Martin of South Da.
kota, had an interview last Thursday
with President Taft, by request of the
latter, on the subject of corporation reg
ulation. Mr.. Martins position was that
the administration ought to take an ad-
vanced step towards the control of inter-
state corporations and do it so vigorous
ly that the corporations would know they
were being controlled. MIR. Martin so
interested the president that another ap-
pointment was made and he will call at
the White House next Monday to con-
tinue the subject. The South Dakota
congressman has given considerable
study to the national corporation prob
lem and has accumulated stock ofideas
that will be valuable when legislation is
attempted"
Not only the press of this, his own
state, but also those of many other
states have been interested in the de-
velopments which may follow these con-
situations of our Congressman with the
President. 1t is no little honor to the
state of South Dakota to be represented
so ably as she is and to have her con-
gressmen recognized as men whose
opinions are held to be valuable by the
chief executive. There will not only
be wisdom but also honor in a state
ticket headed by Messrs. Martin and
Burke,

South Dakota with her forest reserves
and timbered sections in the western
part of the state is by no means the
least in the list of states which the for
est service considers in the lumber re-
port bulletin just issued. Washington
leads the states in the production OF
lumber for last year, while Utah was
the lowest in the list. Nevada and our
neighbor, North Dakota, have so little
timbered area, that they are not con-
sidered at all in the forest service re-

State Will Control the Forest

State Will Control the Forest Reserve.
Pierre, S. D., Nov. 29.-At the time
the government was using its efforts to
stamp out the depredatious of the pine
beetle in the Black Hills Forest Re-
serve, the state lands within that re-
serve, were through an agreement, plac-
ed under control of the government for
est rangers, and for several years they
have been so managed sales of timber
being made through the government au-
thorities, who RENTED the proceeds to
the state. Under the terms of the agree
ment, either party could abrogate it on
| 80 days notice. On account of the diff.
| ference between the state and national
governments as to the title of the state
to sections l6 and SO within the limits
of the reserve, Commissioner Dokken
has given notice of the termination oi
the agreement with the government con-
troll of the state lands, to 60 into effect
the first of January next. The ques.
ton of title will be brought up early in
the next congressional session and it il
hoped that the present session will take
some action toward settling the differ
ences which have existed ever since the
forest reserve was established.
