RESUME LAND FILING
Winners of S anding Rock
Opening Are Again Busy
Making Entries.

The filing for the Cheyenne River
and Standing Rock reservation lands
has been resumed at the United States
land office at Aberdeen under the di-
rection of Judge James w. Witten of
the department of the interior. The
first 5000 were called last spring,
when adjournment was taken until
September 2. Claude Daugherty Of

first number called
The filing will continue until Oct.

to secure a homestead. OF the 1900
numbers between 5000 and 10000, it
is believed the proportion not filing

land men who have toured the reser-
walton county say there will be many
fine homesteads left after the 10000
number are called, the only disadvan-
tage being that they will be far from

BIG INCREASE IN IMPORTS
Operation of New Tariff Law
Shows a Good Growth
in Trade in u. S.

Uncle Sans import trade, under
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, during
the past year was a record breaker,
according is the governments statis-
tical experts. Under this law, during
the twelve months ending July 81
last, imports aggregating 81, So, ,6OO,-
600 came into the United States. OF
this vast total 1894 100000 was listed
as dutiable, while s76S, 600, 600 entered
free of duty. Although it was the
first year of the Payne-Aldrich law
it eclipsed all former records under
the Dingley, Wilson and Mckinley
laws
Until the Payne-Aldrich law be-
came effective, Aug. /, 1909, the ban
ner year of the previous eighteen
years had been 1907, when under the
Dingler act an aggregate of 81, ,456,-
100000 of imports was recorded.
Customs receipts during the past
year amounted to 1927, 900, 900 which
was more than $17,0OO,O0O in excess of
the previous year under the Dingley
act. The customs receipts during
each of the eighteen years preceding
1910 showed much less encouraging
record, except in 1905 and 1907, when
the customs receipts exceeded last
years total. During the past year
March showed larger customs receipts
than any other month during that
period, with a total of 1886, 700, ,OOO.-

Burlington Takes Precautions

In order to minimize the danger
from forest fires, the Burlington rail
road has adopted the plan of sending
hand cars with section men to follow
up all it's trains running through the
Black Hills National forest, and to
extinguish any flames that may be
set by sparks from the engines. While
many of the forest fires are accident
ally set in this way, the railroads
claim that they are blamed for many
they never set but rather than go
through law suits. they are taking
preventive measures.
On the main line between Dead
wood and Edgemont, gasoline cars
for transporting these fire fighters
have been ordered, each capable of
carrying eight or ten men and sup
piled with portable telephones that
may be connected up anywhere on the
line.

Makes Brake for Liberty

Gus Beckman, who has been under
bond for the alleged theft of saddle
from Earl Cox, was surrendered to
the sheriff by his bondsmen Wednes-
day.
The sheriff re-arrested Beckman
and was taking him to the county jail
when he broke away and did Mara
thon for a few blocks before he was
captured. The sheriff fired few
shots which made the man run all the
faster.
Beckman will be up for trial next
week and his attempt escape will not
add as evidence of his innocense.
Thursday, the local authorities sur
rendered Beckman to the Deputy
sheriff of Sturgis who took him to
that place to answer to charge
of being mixed up in the theft of
some stock. If he is not held there
he will be returned to this place for
trial

MAY GET ROAD
A Survey Is Now Being Made
for Branch Line


What this section has long sought,
railroad line running north into
Meade county and through a particu-
larly rich and rapidly settling coun-
try, appears now to be in the not too
dim future. An engineering party is
now running survey between here
and Faith to which point the Mil
waukee line is building and will soon
reach and the only logical conclusion
of this survey work is that the Mil
waukee has finally decided to comply
with the urging of many in the west
ern part of the state, and build south
from Faith into Rapid making them
the pioneer line in this new territory.

CORN PALACE AT MITCHELL
This Years Corn Palace to
Be Better Than Before

Carrying out its established policy
of making each years attractions
better than those of the year before,
the management of the Mitchell Corn
Palace has planned for 1910 the best
entertainment ever yet offered the
people of South Dakota. Those who
come to Mitchell in the week from
September 26 to October 1st, will go
away acknowledging that Mitchell
has accomplished the seemingly i'm
possible thing Of improving on the
attractions of previous years.
First Of all, there will be Conway's
Band of Syracuse, today the most
popular band in the United States.
Second, there will be the Chicago
Lyric SeXtet, composed of six dis
tinguished vocalists.
Third, there will be the Robert De
Mont Trio, comedy acrobats, a vaude-
vile attraction that has never left
the big cities before it was secured
for the Mitchell Corn Palace.
Fourth, Donald and Carson in Alex
McLean's Dream, the greatest act on
the vaudeville stage today.
Fifth, there will be six different
mirth producing and most irresistible
free performances each day by the
very highest class entertainers
Within the building numerous
booths are filled with agricultural and
industrial displays and this year
there will be the largest number of
county exhibits in the history of the
exposition.
One fare for the round trip and
special trains have been granted on
all lines.

Range Steer Brought Sta

Clay Oliver, the Rapid City, S. d..
rancher, topped the local range steer
market in the single class yesterday
by putting one l,630-pound beef over
the scales at $7.00. This is the high
est mark made by rangers on the To-
cal market, but it shows that buyers
are willing to put up the price for
quality and that the comparatively
low plane registered by the majority
of sales is due to the lack of slaugh-
tering requirements. The beef

FALL TRADE EXPANDS
Wholesalers and JObberS Ex-
pect Big Fall Trade

Wholesale houses report increased
fall orders and the tone of general
business shows improvement. The
general situation remains somewhat
irregular and the expansion is not as
fast as the agricultural crop outlook
justities. In fact, in many of the
large trade centers the total volume
of business is below that reported in
1909, notwithstanding there has been
no industrial crises nor financial panic
to cause retrocession of trade ,!nelr
is general complaint that profits are
light on account of the high cost of
new material and increased operating
expenses in industrial operations
The principal increase in jobbing
orders for fall merchandise is reported
from Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City
and other western centers of trade,
where recent rains have greatly stim-
ulated the prospects of the corn crop,
and the first frost scare Of the season
passed without doing any harm. The
opening of the Western Pacific road
last week stimulated business on the
Pacific coast. Trade is still quiet at
the south and marked improvement
is not anticipated until the harvest
ing and movement of the cotton crop
which is estimated to reach 100000
bales. There is very narrow fluctua-
tion in cereal prices, although the
liberal marketing of wheat and oats
has weakened quotations for these
grains. A larger export inquiry from
France and Germany for wheat will
hold this cereal around the 81 per
bushel mark
The southern corn crop is made and
is OF record proportions. The north
ern corn crop also promises a new
high record if it is not damaged by
early frosts. Recent rains have i'm
proved the western pastures and the
outlook for the potato crop is better.
Oats made a record crop and have
dropped several points in the west,
but wholesale marketing is not antici-
pated until the corn crop is beyond
injury by frost. Wheat yield returns
exceed the best estimates Of the crop.
A large fruit crop will be harvested
in the Pacific northwest. Estimates
of the worlds wheat crop are crystal
lizing to 3,5OO,OOO,O0O bushels, a de-
crease of about l50,000,O0O bushels
from the 1909 harvest, the decrease
being nearly offset by the supply re-
ported on July l of last seasons crop.
The principal gains in the volume
of fall business are confined to the
western centers of distribution. Con-
ditions generally continue irregular,
with the volume of commercial trans
actions below last year. Bank clear
ings last week showed a decrease of
2.6 per cent from the previous week
and 17.6 per cent from the like week
in 1909. Many large transactions are
held in allegiance until corn and cotton
crop have matured and a more SUBJ
stantial basis of business is estab-
lished. With the present favorable
outlook for agricultural crops econo-
mists and tinanciers predict year of
great national prosperity. ty.-Exchange.

Shooting Scrape

Considerable excitement was occas-
stoned Monday afternoon, when Tim
Murphy fired two shots at Harry Hall
In Jack CloWer's saloon. Fortunately
neither shot did any more damage
than to tear up the varnish on the
bar. Murphy was taken into custody
and charge of shooting with intent
to kill was filed against him. 1t is
reported that domestic trouble was
at the bottom of the shooting.
Mr.. Murphy was placed under $1,000
bond, which he was unable to give.
His preliminary trial comes up next
Tuesday.

Rochester, n. Y, Sept. 29.-Al.
though the Democratic state conven-
tion opened at noon today, it is the
general opinion here that the slate
will be made up tonight. Leader
Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany
Hall, who dominates the convention,
declared this afternoon that he had
no candidate to put forward.
The old slogan of Harmon,
Hearst and Harmony" will be re-
vised for the present occasion. The
Harmon portion will not be touched
upon, while the Hearst end of the
triad is expected to be decidedly
lacking. The harmony is promised,
but a considerable fight is predicted
over the selection of a gubernatorial
candidate to buck the Stimson-
Roosevelt line"
Edward M. Shepard, of Brooklyn,
apparently is the leading candidate
for governor, but the fact that ne
formerly was a corporation attorney
is being urged against him. The
necessity of selecting a strong man
to fight Stimson is realized by the
leaders and Roosevelt's assumption

of the Republican party leadership
n the state has impressed the DEM
.ocrats.
The chief features of the party
platform, it is expected, will be an
attack on Republican extravaganza,
and an assault upon the Payne tar
III law. The direct primary plank
positively will be ignored by the
delegates.
Parker's Speech.
On assuming the gavel Parker
said: To-day there are prophets
predicting a dictator's speedy COM
ing. There are advocates of the pol
icy of gradually taking from the
people their home rule powers and
comforting them on the federal gov
ernment Indeed, a president has
said that if we fail to increase the
power of the federal government, it
will show signs of impotence.
How comes this assault on the
constitution Answer: There is Il
great unrest because the cost of llv-

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept 29.-The
Roosevelt band wagon is crowded
Politicians who are still in Saratoga
are clambering aboard today, and are
ready to get in line for the ticket Sc
lected by the convention at its closing
session.
Although the delegates who are
still here are exhausted by the la
Dor of the convention and the strain
and excitement of the last two days,
Colonel Roosevelt, with his untiring
energy, already has begun plans for
the campaign. A complete .reorganl-
zation of the party in the state is
predicted. The old leaders will be
dropped from places of responsible
ty, and the party management put in
to new hands.
The politicians are confident of
victory at the coming election. Gay
nor's announced withdrawal from
the race for the Democratic nomina-
tion for the governorship is one of
the factors that is expected to help.
Roosevelt's own personality, how
ever, is the chief cause of the conf
dence. 1t is expected that he will be
able to exert powerful influence in
the state, and that the hot campaign
he is planning, and in which he will
visit every county in the state will be
a large factor in the results.
Roosevelt's followers believe the
colonel was wise in his fight. From
standpoint, If the Republic |
cans win in November he will get the
credit for the victory it is predicted. |
II they lose the defeat will be blamed |
on Democratic year"
1t is asserted today by those close
to the Roosevelt leaders that Herbert
Parsons is the colonel's choice, and
will be chosen state chairman to sue
ceed Timothy L. Woodruff.

Governor G. ~ Haskell and other
defendants recently discharged. The
action followed a conference of the
attorneys for the government to de-
termine whether they had sufficient
evidence to convict. The virtual dis
missal in all probability will end the
town lot fraud trials.
Haskell made a stubborn fight to
prevent the cases coming to trial but
was finally overruled. The action of
Judge Marshall in annulling the
cases is considered an indication
that he considered the evidence 50
far presented as inconsequential.

The most serious street car acct

On Trade street, just east of Com
mercial, there is a switch and two
tracks cross Commercial, one lead

car stopped before crossing the track
leading to the Touring mills, and just
as II started the switch engine backed
out from behind the depot, crossing
Commercial. Both street car and
engine were moving slowly, and 1t
looks as though the accident might
have been avoided, but anyway, It
wasn't, for the northwest corner of
the street car came In contact with
the southeast corner of the tender Of
the engine. The street car was
