INDIANS in DANGER BY FLOOD
HiRh Water Drives Settlers Year
NanktOn Agency to
Hills.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March 2.-(Spe-
cial)-As a result Of the present high
water in the Missouri river and the form
ing of a huge ice gorge the Sioux Indians
and white settlers living along the Mis-
souri, river in Charles Mix county, in the
vicinity of the Yankton Indian agency,
have been having all sorts of experiences
during the last week.
A number of the settlers lost consider
able stock and grain, while others were
fortunate enough to remove their stock and
other movable property to the higher
ground after the water commenced to raise
and before it was high enough to prevent
their escape.
A number OF the Indians who resided
close to the river bank were taken un-
awares by the rapid rise of the water
and escape was cut off. They were forced
to take refuge on the roofs of their dwell
ing houses, from which perilous position
they were rescued by boats after many
hours OF tedious waiting for the arrival OF
the rescuers, who were forced to make
their way through masses of floating ice
with the danger every moment OF their
frail craft being dashed to pieces and the
occupants drowned.

Dakota Banks Handle Warrants.

PIERRE, S. D., March 22.-(Special)-
The placing of $4,000 of state revenue
warrants in South Dakota banks at a rate
of ga per cent interest is an evidence
which is practical that the state has put
itself in position where it need not depend
upon eastern financial concerns for or
binary business transactions. Bidders were
here from Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Paul.
Des Moines and Sioux City with bids
ranging from 4 per cent up to 5 per cent
and higher. but when the South Dakota
banks came in with their rates the east
ern investors quit the field. They could
rot understand the situation, and one of
the Chicago representatives said; THE
banks Of this state must have money to
burn to take the securities at that rate, as
they could not get the money at so low a
figure to take up the securities Most Of
the warrants went to Black Hills banks,
which were willing to take them at the
low rate.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-03-23

an effort TO have iron ore taken off " the
free list. where II Is placed by the Payne
bill, became evident when Mr.. Young OF
Michigan. i~nterruptlng, attacked the tcsti-
mony Of Chairman Gary Of the board OF
directors OF the United States steel cor
p~oration before the committee. Mr.. Young
declared that Judge Gary's statement that
royalty of 10 cents per ton was paid on
iron ore about 1897 was misleading.
Long before 1897" said Mr.. Noune,
leases were frequently made at the rate
Of 20 cents per ton royalty and ! know OF
only one case where 10 cents a ton royalty
was paid. That was for low grade ore
which was very hard to get at"
Mr.. Randell Of Texas asked Mr.. Payne
II the placing OF iron ore on the free list
did not practically give to certain furnaces
along the Atlantic coast the revenue which
has been produced by iron ore duties.
MIR. Payne admitted that the furnaces on
the coast would get the benefit of the re-
duction.
From iron ore the discussion for the mo-
ment turned to tobacco. Mr.. James OF
Kentucky wanted to know why the tax had
not been removed from tobacco in the hand
or in the manufactured state inasmuch as
the committee on ways and means had
three times reported that proposition Ia
vorably for the protection OF the farmers
in their fight against the Tobacco trust
MIR. Payne replied that there was no use
loading dow the bill.
Mr.. Payne parted a question by Mr..
Garner of Texas If the bill would be rem
dered amenable by amendment by asking
that he be allowed to get through with his
remarks.
When Mr.. Payne took his seat he was &C
corded an ovation by his republican col
leagues
