ALLOTMENT OF LIVE STOCK.

Anyone who visits the Cheyenne
River Indian reservation, in the north
central portion of South Dakota, at
any time between June Is and July Is
will have ample reason to know that
in these modern days Uncle Sam takes
good care of his red wards, as repre-
scented by the Sioux Indians of South
Dakota.
Commencing on June Is the govern
ment will distribute among the Sioux
warriors an the Cheyenne River reser-
walton vast number of COWS and
other animals and a vast amount of
other property. OF the live stock to
be distributed among these Indians
there will be 6,210 heifers, 926 milch
cows and e29 brood mares.
In addition to the live stock, Indian
allottees not heretofore provided will
be furnished with wagons, axes, forks
harrows, hoes, plows and harness,
which have been contracted for by
the Indian bureau at Washington in
large quantities for this distribution
In view of the fact that many hun
dreds of Uncle Sans red wards on
the Cheyenne River reservation have
but recently taken their allotments OF
land in severalty, thus renouncing
their tribal relations, the distribution
of farm implements and other prop
erty and live stock among them will
be the largest distribution made
among the Indians in South Dakota
since this feature of the Indians wei.
fare has been so closely looked after
by the government.
The live stock and other property is
given only to Indians who have taker
their allotments, and is la sort 0,
an inducement for them to take theil
allotments.

THE SINGLE NsouTHDAKoTA

The assessor of Stanley county,
South Dakota, probably has never
read the works of Henry George. It
is doubtful if he would be able to de-
fine the theory of the famous tax re-
former. And yet the Stanley county
farmer has, by single syllogism,
leaped all the way from the present
more or less old-fashioned taxing
methods, to the side of the man who
devoted his life to the PRONUNCIATION
of the single tax.
The county auditors, at their
annual meeting in Pierre this year,
fixed the assessed value of Stanley
county land at 1925 an acre. This
was supposed to mean only unimprov-
ed land. If buildings had been built
upon the land, the expectation was
that their value should be added to
the amount at which the bare land is
appraised.
Stanley county's assessor, however,
knows that considerable part of the
farm land in that vicinity is unim-
proved, the property of non-residents
holding it for rise in value. BY a
very plain course of reasoning, this
official reached the conclusion that it
was hardly fair to make the man who
has improved his farm by putting
buildings on it, the man whose indus
try is going to make Stanley county
land more valuable, pay more realty
taxes than the man who owns the adj
Looming quarter but has no thought Of
farming it. So he decided to assess
all lands at $3.50 an acre, whether
carrying improvements or not.
| In the case of city property, the
single tax, which means simply the
assessment of all land without regard
to improvements on it, might work
an injustice against the man of small
income who buys a lot and is holding
it until he can amass enough money
to build home. But this does not
apply to farm lands, for if an indus
trious individual buys farm on pay
ments he will set about cultivating it
at once to earn the purchase price.

SCARCITY OF TEXAS GRASS BEEvEs

Chicago Live Stock World: A stead
lily advancing cattle market reflects
scarcity of Texas grass beef owing to
a lengthy drought in that section,
which has deprived packers of their
usual spring supply of cheap grass
beef. Fat cattle do not exist in the
southwest and thousands have sue
combed to thirst. Only the hides are
being saved and these are reaching
Forth Worth by the carload. The
loss is heavier on cows than steers,
and it is probable that goodly per-
centage of the calf crop will be lost.
Attempts have been made to move
the suffering stock to Oklahoma and
Kansas pastures, but much of it was
unable to stand the journey, thous-
ands expiring in transit. Even in
western Kansas pastures are dry and
cattle are making no gains. Corn
belt feeders will profit and high
level market is certain until Wyom-
ing, Dakota and Montana grassers
are fit for the shambles.

SMALL BLAZE AT THE PUBLISH
ING HOUSE.

Rev. R. H. Boyd and family, who
reside in the second story of the Ad-
ministration Building of the Publish
ing House at 523 Second avenue,
North, were aroused Wednesday
morning by the heat and smoke of
what threatened to be a very disas-
trous fire. DR.. Bovd was the first to
be aroused. His bedroom was filled
with smoke and he was almost suffo-
Gated. His wife was partially suffo-
Gated and was with difficulty revived.
The other members of the family
were awakened, a fire brigade
organized, and the five-gallon bottles
of distilled water were pressed into
service in an effort to. extinguish the
flames. How the fire originated is
unknown, but fortunately it was
discovered before it had made
much Roadway. The alarm was
turned in by the night Waterman, Mr..
Jerry Robinson, and the Chemical
Company quickly responded. The
first duty was to take DR.. Boyd in out
of the cold, for in his fright, and eff
fort to summon help he had reached
the street only partly clothed as he
was in his night shirt. Through the
persuasion of the fire department he
was entreated to come in, and the
brave fighters soon had the flames
under control. The result was only
a small damage to the plant.

Much has been said from time to time
about this proposed Theological Semi
nary and the voting of $4,000 to be
put in buildings and equipments, des-
ignating that they be put in Nashville,
is in part a repetition of the vote
and order that passed the National
Convention when it met in Memphis,
Tennessee, in 1906, when they ac-
cepted a proposition from the Ameri-
can Baptist Home Mission Society by
which if they raise a certain amount
of money they would get $4,000. Now
these Baptists say they will raise $50,
900. If this is true the institution
will start cut as a $65,000 plant

posed to close any actual plans un-
til his board can be called together

push the work True. it stated that
Rev. Sutton Griggs, of this city, will
do the general field work, hut just
! how much money can be raised de-
ponds entirely upon the way the de-
nomination is able to line up its force
and appeal to its large membership.
Last year it will be remembered that
during DR. Searcys visit to the Board
meeting it was permanently decided
to open this Theological Seminary at
Roger Williams University the uni
yersity having agreed to share tempo
rarily the members of the faculty
with them. Some are saying that
plans for building will soon be
drawn and that three prominent Ne
/ gro architects, namely, Moses McIIis-
sack and Co., of Nashville, w. A. Ray
field and Co., of Birmingham, Ala,
and w. T. Bailey of Tuskegee, Ala,
are asking to be allowed to submit
plans. But these reports cannot be
confirmed as none of the Educational
Board members would say definitely
what is to be done in the near future.
But that they are encouraged is evil
IDENTIFY due to the splendid success be-
ing achieved at Roger Williams If
Rev. Searcy's plans of last year are
carried out he will open his educa-
tional campaign in Middle Tennessee
and extend it to the east, winding UP
