locked, but in response to Griswold's
knock II was opened g~nardedfy.
Il am very sorry to trouble you, Mr..
Bosworth," began Griswold, quietly
edging his way into the room. ".but
one gets wholly away from bust
ness these days"
He closed the door himself, and
peered into the inner rooms to be
sure the attorney general was alone.
Bosworth's face flushed angrily when
he ound that a stranger had thus en-
tered his office with a cool air of pro-
prietorship.
Who the devil are you?" he de-
manded, glazing.
I'm special counsel for Gov. o.
borne in the Appleweight case.

ly reason why a governor should not

Office and act in propria persona, as
a mere citizen" is
Bosworth grinned, but not at the
legal status of monarchs and states.
He had thought of a clever stroke and
he dealt the blow with confidence.
Let us assume" he said, that you
represent Mr.. Osborne. May I ask
the whereabouts of you client?"
Certainly. You may ask anything
you please, but it will do you no good.
It's an old rule of the game never to
diyulge a clients secret. Gov. Os.
borne has his own reasons for absent,
ing himself from his office. However.

Il rather guess not, as I had all the

Appraisers Break Camp

Colme-The government apprafsine
crew, which has beer at work on lands
in Mellette and Bennett counties, broke
camp this week and will not re-
sumo operations until about May /.
The appraisers have been at work less
than three months and have COM
pleted the appraisement of about half
of the lane to be opened to settle
ment next fail.
No official appraisement of lands
was made in the Gregory or Trip
county openings and the affair next
fall will be the first one under this
plan in the Rosebud country. The
appraisement plan was tried in the
Standing Rock opening last year,
however, and is said to have given
good satisfaction. 1t removes the
prospective settler somewhat from the
mercy of the locator and his possible
errors. ...
The lands in Me1lette and Bennett
counties will be fixed in classes, rang
ing from 81 to S. an acre. The per-
son filing may take land in any de-
sired Class, paying the price estab-
lished.. Under this plan those with
good numbers are certain to get good
farms and will only need to exercise
their faculties on the question Of To-
cation.

rGRc MILK
Sioux Falls Health officials &c! After
Indifferent Miikmen

sioux Falls-Ofcials of the health
department, are finishing for the year,
preparatory to making their annual re-
port, the inspection of diaries, which
furnish milk and cream for Sioux falis
and just by way of indicating that the
inspection is being given their pest
attention q dairyman was arrested,
on a charge of delivering milk when
was found below the test and was
filmed $40.
"We continue to find a few diaries
which do not comply with the regula-
tons prescribed in the ordinances,
said DR.. Keller yesterday. They either
cannot comply with the regulations,
because Of lack of facilities, or they
will not, and there is but one remedy
remaining in order to safeguard the
public health and that is to put those
non-complying dairies out or pusl-
ness, which will certainly follow.
One of the rigid provisions Of the
law is that every dairy must have a
milk house where the milk is to pc
cared for after it is taken from the
COWS and that milk house must be
separate and APART from the place in
which the milling Is done. That pro
vision is being violated here every
day.
And another provision is that cans
and measures used in the delivery OF
milk must not be washed in the kltch-
en- sink, where utensils used in cook
ing and other kitchen belongings are
washed. That provision Is also vlo-
lated every day.
"These violations must stop.
Zone man has recently come to me
and announced that he had decided not
to establish himself in the milk bus1-
ness in Sioux Falls, because I insist
ed that he would have to erect a milk
house, as the law provides. if he open
ed up.
""The Sioux Falls health department
is now at work upon a plan for having
the next LEGISLATURE pass a law which
will Compel all dairy cattle in this
state to be examined for tuberculosis
germs, or in other words, subjected
to the tuEer~ ulin test, before they
are used in the dairy and I think we
will have no difficulty in having such
g law passed" SEQ. ..~ ..l.,s.l. .

said Griswold. I'VE must get that
requisition, to guard against treason
in the citadel. Assuming that Gov.
Osborne really doesn't want to see
Appleweight punished we'd better
hold the requisition anyhow. It's
possible that your father had it ready

play, or he may have wanted to bring
Appleweight into the %friendlier state;
but that's all conjectural. We'd bet
