LOST-A GOOSE.


Col. Rudolph, the auctioneer, last
week unwittingly furnished fine feed
of roast goose to party of mis-
friends. The colonel won a big goose
at rattle and when he refused to
dispose of it to be raffled off the Sec
ond time the boys resolved to steal
it, George Cole and Sam Kelly were
selected for this important mission
and they successfully abstracted the
bird from Rudolphs wood shed, where
it was being kept in anticipation of
a fine Sunday dinner. 1t was brought
down town to one of the restaurants
and cooked, and Col. Rudolph was in
vited to be one Of the party to dis
pose of it. Mr.. Rudolph's astonisL-
ment was great when informed where
the piece de resistance Of the feed
came from, but he took 1t very good
naturedly and says the next goose
he is lucky enough to get hold vi
will be kept down in the cellar with
his coal and other valuables.

STATE GETS
MUCH LAND
SIXTY THOUSAND ACRES IN THE
BLACK HILLS.
WORTH SEVERAL MILLIONS
TO BE TURNED OVER TO STATE
BY FORESTRY BUREAU.

AS the result Of an agreement which
has just been concluded between Chief
Forester Pinchot and the South Da-
kota Officials this state will gain title
to more than 10000 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 art in several
conferences and likewise was of much
assistance in securing the settlement.
According to the agreement it is
expected 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
16 and 80, which originally were grant
ed it by the enabling act as school
lands. 1t is understood the new lands
chosen for the state will be in one or
more compact bodies instead of Sec
tions scattered throughout the forest
reserve Thus probably tracts Of sew
eral thousands acres will be selected
as near the border of The reserve as
possible, so 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 at 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 an 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 tho state to make the new selec-
tion of land in tie Black Hills reserve
as indicated

ert S. Vessey was introduced. Cover
nor Vessey spoke of the value Of an ed

and outlined the liberal policy Of the
present administration toward the
State Institutions. The students were

association, Percy Huntimer

kota intercollegiate Amateur Athletic
Association.

INSPECTIONLAW
IS IN FORCE
BUILDINGS USED FOR PUBLIC
PURPOSES.
MUST CONFORM TO LAW
INCLUDES OPERA HOUSES AND
OTHER AMUSEMENT PLACES.

While the state building inspection
law went into effect the first of last
July along with the other laws of the
1909 session, the owners of buildings
used for public amusement, under the
provisions Of the law itself were CIV
en- six months in which to get their
buildings within the provisions of the
law. The six months have expired,
and the law is row in full effect and
force. The law, chapter 274 of the
laws of 1909, requires that every thea
ing used CT to be used for theatrical or
operate purposes or for public resort
or entertainment, for the accommoda-
tion of 100 or more persons shall on
or before July 1, of each year, pay an
annual license fee to the state of $500.
The law makes the hotel inspector ex-
officio building inspector. 1t fixes re-
quirements as to the manner of con-
struction of such places of amuse-

failure or refusal to comply with the
provisions of the law. While it does
not require license from schools end
churches, it includes such buildings
within it's scope of provisions in re-
gard to safety.
Up to the present time, fourteen out
of the hundreds Of opera houses over
the state Lave paid the required lie
ense fee and secured their authority
from the tate treasurer as such pub
lie houses of enter tainmeht, but it is
not likely that single one of them
has taken advantage of the six months s
time to get into shape to comply with
the law so far as safety is concern ed
Now that the time is up. the inspector
is in position to enforce mis- order in
regard to the matter of safeguarding
patrons, and if he follows instructions,
there will be something doing along
the line of opera houses within the
next few months.
