LOWER RATES ASKED ON
INTERURBAN LINES

Deadwood, S. D., Feb. 21.-Through
the efforts Of the Deadwood Business
club, a lower rate between here and
Lead, on both the Northwestern and
Burlington railroads. is being sought
with the ultimate object of securing
mere residents for this city. This was
brought about by the new conditions In
Lead u to the importing of hundreds
of new men to work for the Homestake.
Many OF these men have families and
owing to the present crowded condi-
ton of Lead, are unable to find houses.
The local business club took up the
question of a rate of Is cents round trip
between here and Lead with the Home
stake and with the railroads. and If it
is secured it will probably result in q
number of the new families securing
homes here N working In Lead. The
present rate is Is cents round trip.

CANTON CONSIDERS
INTERURBAN LINE
IN MASS MEETING

Canton, s. D., Feb. I.-One of the larg-
est and most enthusiastic mass meetings
ever held in this city, and that in the
race OF a severe wind storm, was the
one held at the rooms of the Unity club
tuesday evening. The meeting was called
for the purpose Of hearing from Mr.. Ma
gee, the promoter of the proposed cleo
trio railroad between Sioux City and Sioux
Falls. via Elk Point, vermillion, Beres-
ford, Worthing, with a branch line I'M
ming to Canton. The road fs practically
an assurd thing n it now remains for
Canton to decide whether or not she can
afford to have the road go through the
heart of the county Inc not make an
effort to have a branch run into town,
Can the town afford to let the other towns
get the benefit of cheaper freight rates.
At the meeting last evening a great many
farmers, land owners along the proposed
rfght-of-way were present. They are anx-
ious to have the road built. The people
OF the county are thoroughly alive to the
awful discrimination in freight rates 70,
which they are indebted to the Sioux Cit,
Tribune, in the last few issues of which
have been running the articles on whats

people of this section of the state woul6
rather put some none into an electric

sioners to adjust the rates. The cues.

The Introduction OF tungsten lamps Is
doing much to advance the use Of cleo
tricity OF farms. it is possible for the
farmer with a small plant, driven either
by u gasoline engine or by damming a
small stream, to obtain sufficient cur
rent to light his house and barn with
this economical type OF incandescent
lamp. The use of electricity on the
farm, by the way, Is growing and, as
pointed out by the Electrical World,
farmers will in time come to consider
electricity a necessity. Then It will be
found profitable to establish central

LAND is CONTESTED
BY TWO CLAIMANTS

Gregory, S. d, Feb. 21.-The officials
of the United States land office at this
place have concluded the hearing n
taken under advisement one of the most
interesting cases involving the owner
ship of public land ever coming before
a federal land office in South Dakota.
The case involves a valuable quarter
section of and in the ceded portion Of
the Rosebud Indian reservation, sit
uated near the new town of Carlock.
Three different men claim the land.
The testimony in the case fills 800 type
written g and cost approximately
$3.50. The unique case is entitled Brees
VS.. Holton n Sears VS.. Holton. The
testimony submitted at the hearing
showed that Brees made a settlement
on the land on the evening of October 1
last, and has lived there with his fam
lily eve since that time. Holton, who
came from Lynch, Neb., made a filing
on the same quarter section the follow
Ing day. Searls filed a contest on the
land. claiming that he "squatted" on
the much-coveted farm on the morning
of October 1. But he admitted that he
has neither resided on or improved the
land since that time, claiming sickness
and inclement weather as his excuse for
non-restdence. Searls and his Witness
es also testified that Brees did not
make settlement on the land in contro-
versy at the time he (Brees) claimed.
u IGldIldllOH bTeeS clldTSeQ ClaG SearlS
had not established settlement on the
farm at all, which Is in section 90, but
hat he instead made settlement on a
quarter section situated in section 81.
From the trend Of the testimony offered
at h hearing the spectators got the
impression h a Searls and Holton had
Joined forces to defect Rrees and dis
possess him of the land. Under all the
circumstances, the decision Of the LAND
officers is being eagerly awaited.
