RAPID CANYON LINE SOLD
TO CLEAR TITLE
Court Orders Sale of Missou-
ri River & Northwestern

The announcement that Judge Car
land in the federal court at Sioux
Falls had appointed Deputy United
States Marshal John +. Belding of
Deadwood as master to conduct the
sale of the Missouri River and North
western railroad was no surprise here.
The sale is not to be held-as was in
dicated in dispatch>in in eastern papers
for gain, but is merely step in the
proceedings to clear the title.
The removal of the road from the
hands of the receiver short time ago
and the infusion of new blood in its
directorate and control, were part of
the same proceedings, the new own
ers having mapped out a course and
still intending to carry out their
plans.
The road has had a checkered career
since it's inception in 1893 by VIM. Il.
Coad who enlisted considerable east
ern capital. 1t runs between Rapid
City and Mystic, linking the North
western and Burlington railroads by
q tOrtuOuS route of about % miles
through one of the most picturesque
canyons in the west, and it is planned
to make the road q source of profit
from the tourist business here this
summer.-Daily Journal.

Plant EVergreenS.

Never big wind blows over the
prairie but one feels the lack of shell
tering timber and we can all have it
if we 60 after it right. Evergreens
are the most effective and of all the
evergreens we believe the best to be
the Black Hills spruce. 1t is a native
to the country, lives upon very
small amount of moisture and will
90 almost any distance to find that
bit. Last year the writer while build
ing Pierre lodge was interested in the
examination of the roots of these
evergreens growing upon the almost
bare rocks. While cutting out the
rock for the foundation Of the lodge
we followed little threads Of roots as
| thin and delicate as the finest silk rib
| bOns sometimes for q hundred feet in
length where they have run of
through the crevices to get susten-
ance for sturdy trees. We unhesitat-
ingly recommend any farmer to plant
them feeling assured TINT after a
years attention they will take care OF
themselves and soon afford the pro
lection from the high winds, which is
SO great 4 satisfaction and comfort.

South Dakota Herd Laws.

In the session laws of 1907, chapter
244, will be found an act entitled can
Act to Provide for Damages for the
TrespasS of Animals and for the Col
lection of Such Damages That part
Of the state lying east of the Missouri
river is SUBJECT to the following: "Any
person or persons owning or having in
his or their possession, any horses,
mules, cattle, goats, sheep or swine,
or any such animals, which shall tres
pass upon the lands of another, or up
on the lands either fenced or not
fenced, belonging to any person or
persons other than the owner or own
ers of such animals, such person or
persons owning or having in his
charge or possession such trespassing
animal or animals, shall be liable to
any party or parties sustaining such
injury for all damages he, she or they
have sustained or may sustain by rea-
son of such trespass aforesaid"
That portion Of the state lying west
of the Missouri river is not subject to
this law, but as in North Dakota the
voters of the county have the right to
abolish the free range in their res
pective counties at any general elec-
ton, provided the proper preliminary
steps have been taken, which is
through the board of county commits,
sioners. 1t reads in part as follows
''This act shall not be operative in or
apply to that portion of the state
west vi the Missouri river until by "a
majority vote of any county situated
in said portion of the state, it shall
be adopted and declared applicable tc
said county, at a special election
hereinafter provided for at any gener
al election thereafter when Sucl
question may be submitted to the

LAND OFFICE RECORDS
NOT. FOR PUBLIC
New Order From the Depart
ment of Interior

The Rapid City land office has re-
ceived instructions from the depart
ment at Washington forbidding the
general public the right to examine
the records in the Serial Number
Register except in the case of inter
ested parties who may be permitted
to make such examination of the
books but only under the observation
of an officer or clerk.
The notice in full as sent out by
the department is as follows:
Department of the Interior, Gener-
af Land Office, Washington, April s.,
1910. Registers and Receivers, United
States Land Offices:
Gentlemen: The following instruc-
tions are issued in response to the re-
quests of many local officers who are
in doubt as to the propriety of per-
mitting the general public, and es-
pecially agents and attorneys, to have
access to the Serial Number Register.
Department instructions of October
6, 1904 (33 L. L. 267), provide that APP
plications to inspect records shell be
"denied in all instances in which the
orderly dispatch of public business
would be materially interferred with"
The acess of agents, attorneys, and
the public generally to the Serial
Number Register would not only, in
almost every instance seriously ham
per the orderly dispatch of business
in your Office, but is open to the fur.
ther objection that it would afford
the unscrupulous and litigious COM
plete docket of every matter pending
before the land department., whether
before you, this bureau or the Secre'
tary of the Interior.
1t is believed that in almost every
instance the status Of any tract OF
land may be obtained by ref
erence to the plat and tract book
and if inquiry by a party in interes
be directed to any application or othe
matter to which serial number has
been assigned, you may, if it be com.
patible with the orderly dispatch o
the public business, permit such part.
to examine the notations upon tn
register under such serial number, bu
no other, and such examination mus
be made under the observation of al
officer or clerk.
Inspectors will be required to repor
all violations, by local officers of thes
instructions.
Very respectfully,
FRED BENNETT, Commissioner.

A Growing State.

The wonderful immigration into
South Dakota shows no abatement,
and this year may break previous
records. The northwestern portion of
the state is receiving the largest in
hux of new settlers and Harding,
Butte, Perkins and Meade counties
are settling up as rapidly as did Stan
ley and Lyman counties couple of
years ago. AT Sturgis recently thirty
four cars of immigrant goods were
unloaded in one day and the rush at
that point is unprecedented. 1t is
certain that this portion of the state
which has remained undeveloped SO
long. will soon be thickly. populated,
and it will sustain a large population.
Hitherto it has been q cattle and
sheep country almost exclusively and
has produced and added greatly to the
wealth of the state.
In 1909 there were shipped out of
Belle Fourche 2,55S, 600 pounds of wool
and l,6OO cars of cattle. This great
industry will doubtless be largely cur
tailed with the settling up of the
abolishment of the free range. Cattle
and sheep will continue to be a prof
liable product and in addition there
will be the wealth Of the individual
farms. The country is peculiarly
adapted to the growing of al
falfa on which all kinds of stock
thrives, so that the northwest por
tion of the state will not lose it's rep
utation as a stock growing region.
The year 1909 was good one for al
crops west of the river as well as east
and prospects for this year could mo-
be better. There has been plenty O
moisture SO far this year, most o
which came in the form Of snow
which melted and saturated the sol
thoroughly, putting it in the bes
possible condition for crops. Vas
areas of land are being broken up, ant
J the smoke of steam breaking outfit
can be seen in all directions. Every
thing points to the fact that Soutl
Dakota is entering upon one OF tn
most prosperous years in it's history

ECHOES OF THE OLD
CAPITOL LOCATION FIGHT
Appointment of A. C.. John
son to Succeed Kniskern

Chicago, May 9-The winning Of the
picturesque capitol contest at Pierre,
against the forces of Mitchell and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul has
made A. G. johnson passenger traffic
manager of the Chicago & North
western system. The announcement
Of the retirement of w. b. kniskern,
whose name has appeared on the tick
cts Of the road for many years, was
followed with that of Mr.. Johnson'S
promotion from general agai,, III

saw such campaign us was waged
in South Dakota over the proposed
removal Of the capitol from Pierre,
then at the terminus of a branch of
the Northwestern but now on the line
connecting the Black Hills district
with the big towns of the eastern
section.
The Northwestern was determined
to prevent the change but could not
reveal its plans for construction west
from Pierre. The st. Paul road es.
poused the cause of Mitchell, the cen.
ter Of the state as it was then devel.
oped. Newspapers were enlisted, pub
lie meetings were held all over the
state and finally the Northwestern
set about taking most Of the constit
uents Of legislators on junkets to see
Pierre and be entertained there.
Passes were given out by the box
full, train load after train load went
through Huron to Pierre loaded tt
the rails with men, women and child
rem, few of whom were paying fare
Toward the close of the campaign the
conductors did not attempt any sordio
duty of taking pay, pass or tickets.
Under Mr.. Johnson's campaign tao
tics tens of thousands went in person
to Pierre and made pierre boost
ers' The Mitchell campaign wa
equally strenuous until the st. Pau
road mysteriously lost zeal and Pierre
was declared victor. BY that victor.

South Dakota a Corn State.

'South Dakota is now one of the
corn producing states of the union.
The skeptic on this question is no
longer heard, and the man who will
disdain South Dakota soil because Of
it's inability to produce corn has been
shown his error. In fact, men who
once scoffed are now buying South
Dakota farms on which they expect
to grow corn. During the year 1903
the state is shown to have produced
sixty-tive and a quarter million BUSH
els of corn on two million fifty
nine thousand acres, (S6,339, 900 bush
els on 1896, 900 acres). This gives a
yield of Bit bushels as an average
for the state.

Fifteen t 8 NE MEET DEATH
Victims Of Explosion Are Ter:
rIb|y Mang|ed.

Fishkill Landing, N. Y, Jan. o.
Fifteen men, three of them Americans,
were killed by premature explosion
of nitroglycerin in a tunnel which is to
form part of the great aqueduct which
will carry water from the Ashokan
dam in the Catskills to New York city.
Five were terribly mutilated, but were
so near the mouth of the tunnel that
they were rescued alive The other
fifteen were found beneath mass of
rock and debris, literally hammered
by the force Of the explosion into a
bleeding mass of heads, limbs and
torsos.
The cause OF the explosion has not
been ascertained, but it is believed
that one of the workmen, carrying a
torch, tripped and fell, igniting a fuse
and setting off a series of charges of
nitroglycerin.

SUIT WILL NOT BE DROPPED
Government Will Continue Fight on
AlIeqed Railroad Meruer

Washington, Jan. 21.-It is authori-
tatively stated that the government
suit for the dissolution of the merger
Of the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific railroads will not be dropped.
Attorney General Wickersham, in his
Investigation of the representations
from the other side, has found moth
Ing so far to warrant such action
A conference was held between the
attorney general and Frank B. Kel-
logg on the one side and Judge Lovett,
president of the Union Pacific, and
counsel representing the allied Harri,
man lines, on the other, for the presen-
tatiOn formally of reasons why the
suit to dissolve the merger of the rail
roads should not be pressed. The
railroad interests feel confident the
suit cannot be pushed to a successful
conclusion and are willing it should
be compromised in some way.
Mr.. Wickersham and Mr.. kellogg
will prepare memorandum for the
president, on which the future action
of the administration will depend.
