STATE GETS MUCH LAND.
Sixty Thousand Acres In The Black
Hills To Be Turned Over TO State
By Forestry Bureau.
Worth Several Million Dollar..-one OF
Pinchots Last Official Actions A.
Chief Forester.

AS the result of an agreement which
has just been concluded between Chief
Forester Pinchot and the South Dakota
officials this state will gain title to
more than 6O,COO acres in the Black
Hills forest reserve, valued at several
million dollars. Attorney General
Clark and Land Commissioner Dokken
of South Dakota, have been at Wash.
ington for the last two weeks in con-
ference with the forestry and interior
department officers concerning this
land. The entire South Dakota dele.
CATION in congress participated in the
negotiations and rendered valuable
aid to the state officials in obtaining
the agreement from the government to
give South Dakota clear title to the
lands it has long claimed. Captain
Seth Bullock also took part in several
conferences and likewise was of much
assistance in securing the settlement.
According to the agreement it is ex-
pected the agents of the forestry bu.
reau will visit the Black Hills reserve
next summer, together with the South
Dakota officials, and then decide upon
what lands in reserve shall be set apart
for the state in lieu of sections l6 and
80, which originally were granted it by
the enabling act as school lands. 1t
1t is understood the new lands chosen
for the state will be in one of more
compact bodies instead of sections
scattered throughout the forest reserve
Thus probably tracts of several thous-
and acres will be selected as near the
border of the reserve as possible, 80 as
not to interfere with the governments
plan of protecting the Black Hills
forest.
The interior department formerly
had held that these school sections in
the Black Hills reserve, being unsur-
veyed ut the time the forest reserve
was created, reverted to the govern
ment, though originally granted to the
state on its admission to the union.
For many years the state officials have
been trying to get the government to
authorize al exchange of these school
sections for lands outside the reserve
but as the government now has prac.
tically no land available for such an
exchange it was finally decided to al.
low the state to make the new selec.
tion of land in the Black Hills reserve
as indicated.

began drinking heavily until Saturday,

on several occasions. From some un-
known source he had obtained NOR

Chief of Police Dornsn was setting in
his office he was startled to hear the
old man groaning in the cell adjoining
the office. He Immediately investiga.-
ed the matter and dispatched mes.
senger for a doctor but it proved to be
too late. From papers found on the
body it was learned that he has been
in the employ of the Milwaukee Rail.

letters from sister in the central part
of this state and one from sister In
Cincinnati, Ohio. AS yet no instruc-
tions have been made for disposition
of the body other than telegram from
Cincinnati ordering the coroner to
hold the body until further notice.
Some OF his relatives are expected

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 3.-Surgeon
Rupert Blue of the United States ma
rine hospital service, commanding the
federal plague eradicative measures on
the Pacific coast, has returned from
an eight months investigation OF
public health problems in England
Europe, South America and Panama.
The prospects for big rat and SOUR
rel killing were never better IN Call- C
fornia. DR.. Blue says now is the time
to begin the active work of externllna-
ton. The preliminary work OF deter
mining the extent of the area in winch

il is thought probable that no terri

found to harbor infected squlrreis'
nevertheless, it is possible for the dls-
ease at any time to spread beyond
these boundaries, unless relentless
warfare is kept up against both the
squirrel and the rat.
COMPLAINTS FROM RANCHERs
There have been threats of con-
certed war on ground squirrels long
before bubonic plague appeared In san
Francisco and the indications are that
the added public health interests will
bring the long delayed boon of squirrel
extinction to the farmers. 1t has been
pointed out by ranchers that the fght-
ing of SQUIRRELS on the installment
plan works a great hardship on the
man who is trying to work a small
holding that Is surrounded by large
areas of land held for speculation.
Ranchers in this position are at con-
stant expense in fighting squirrels, and
there are instances where the pests
swarm across the line faster than they
could be killed, and the fields of barley
or wheat were devastated. The DAM
age to orchardists from squirrels is also
extensive.
The California state board of health
has issued a request that the county
health officers of the state meet IN the
state hygienic laboratory in Berkeley
Septenber 8 to discuss ways and
means of cooperating with the federal
authorities in exterminating the squlr-
rels. In the meantime the board has
issued a circular letter to boards of
Supervisors defining it's status in re-
gard to further work on this problem,
and calling the attention OF super
visors to the laws which empower
them to raise money and enforce the
determination of squirrels. The cost Of
DISCRIMINATING the squirrels will prob
ably not exceed the amount annually
lost by their depredations. After one
wear of concerted action the squirrel
situation could be controlled at COM
paratively slight annual outlay.
