WILL MAKE NO DELAY
DISPUTED TRACTS IN DAKOTA
WILL BE MADE ESPECIAL"
Congressman Burke Arrives at Pierre
and Discusses Long List of
Protested Proofs.

Pierre.-COngressman Burke. who is
home for a short visit, has been adj
vised that the general land office will
make all disputed land cases in South
Dakota west of the Missouri special
so that there will be delay. This is
largely on account Of conditions in
that section. Claimants have offered
proof on tracts, and on a report of a
special agent their papers have been
held up, and the situation is such that
it is impossible for some of the claim
ants to stay with the land and protect
their titles up TO the time of the de-
layed hearing.
Congressman Burke has been vigor-
ously proesting for months as TO the
manner in which the work Of the gen
eral land department is being con-
Quoted as to protested proofs and de
lay in issuance of patents to settlers.
Some cases are held two years after
the special agent has filed a protest
before the papers in the case are call
ed up for examination, n pending
the final decision of he case the set
tier is practically compelled to stay
with the tract to protect his rights
Just before leaving Washington Con
gresham Burke called upon the com
missioner OF the general land office
in reference to a specific case which
has been under suspension for a long
time, and at the same time called at
t~entiOn TO the situation in the country
west Of the Missouri river this year on
account of weather conditions.
Since his arrival here he has been
advised that the special agent has
been ordered to file his report within
ten days on the specific case referred
to, and that all cases in the west Mis-
souri, river section of the state are tc
be made special" assuring their ear
~ consideration.

When my first baby was six
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and II spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over In red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. ] bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. / sent and
got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of R%esolvent, two boxes OF
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cur what / put
them on. / think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise n one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
| have ever used for toilet purposes"

GAME WARDEN FEES
STATE AUDITOR WOULD STOCK

USE OF EXCESS FEES.

From the Capital City, the Various
Stcte institutions and DIFF.
ferent Parts of the
State.

Pierre.-Ever since the enactment
of the law creating the department of
the state game warden, there has
been a question as to whether the
legislature ever made any specific APP
preparation for that department. While
the law provides for game license fees,
and further provides that such fees
shall be used. for the expenses OF the
department, and that any surplus
funds after paying tn expenses of the
department may be used for the pur-
chase of game for stocking the state,
the law contains no specific appropria-
ton of the fees so collected for either
the expenses of the department or
any other expenditure of such funds.
State Auditor Anderson is inclined to
draw the lines closer than have other
auditors in regard to public eXpendi-
tires. and while he has been allowing
warrants on the game fund up to the
present, he has decided that after the
beginning of the fiscal year which
commenced July !, he will wait for a
court construction of the law before
he authorizes any further expenditure
of that fund. This will lea that
Game Warden Bancroft will go into
court on a test suit as to his right to
draw a salary or any otner amount
from the fund, and the construction of
such laws as that affecting the game
department. and other departments of
the state which are working under
laws like that of the game depart
ment. If the laws are held to be good,
the departments affected will continue
in operation. If the laws are held
to be bad. then the departments af-
fected will go out of operation so far
as the officials of them are cOncernCT,
unless such officials are willing to
serve the state at their own expense.

Over the world the story is the same.
They are having aviation meets in
Hawaii, in China, in Japan, in Aus
tralia, in India, and even down in
South Africa.
Almost as important as getting the
right sort of motor is the finding OF
the secret of automatic stability OF
~aeroplanes. More has been learned in
the last twelve months about the
swirls and turmoils that beset the nav
igator in the fields OF air than eve
was known before. But the aero
plane will have to become a steady,
well-balanced machine under varying
conditions before it can surpass the
automobile in popularity and general
use. Many devices are being tried TO
accomplish this end. There is no
doubt that the problem will be solved
satisfactorily before long, and that the
annual death roll of the aerOnauts will
be cut down considerably.
A great many enthusiastic people
have been urging their governments
to stop building battleships n spend
their millions for air craft. They have
pointed out that for the cost Of one
Dreadnaught an aerial fleet that
would darken the sky could be con
structed. In fact, the nations Of the
world are feverishly preparing for aer-
ial warfare. Great as has been the
rivalry between the great powers to
build and equip battleships, the rivalry
between them for mastery of the air
is fully as keen. Even the United
States has caught the fever and within
a few months expects to have $50 aer-
oplanes under its command. The last
congress appropriated $125, 600 for the
purchase and building of aerOplanes
for naval and military purposes. The
aerial corps is already under ~organiza-
ton and the most noted aviators in
the United States are now commits
stoned officers in it. The Aerial corps
of the regular army has been seeing
some service during the maneuvers
still under way In the southwest and
have done scout duty for the marching
columns.

AS in the old days, the nation relied
for It's fighting sailors upon the sea
faring men of the New England coast;
In these later times it must rely upon
the citizen aviator to aid in manning
it's machines in the event of a conflict.
In Europe the military use of the
aerOplane is we'll recognized. Russia
has given orders for the purchase of
900 warplanes of the latest type. Ger
MANY has anywhere from thirty to
fifty dirigibles and a score of aero
| planes carefully guarded in her mill

ously arming with warplanes, that she
may be able to defend the air as she
has long held the water. Italy is

these new creatures.
A first-class steel warplane costs
81, 500 in the open market. The mod
ern battleship costs nearly $40, 900 900,
so that the cost for one battleship a
good-sized fleet of aerial craft might
be assembled. In France the manufac-
turers are behind with their orders.
They have been swamped with orders
during the past few months and have
enough now to keep them busy for a

the transfer of scattered sections to
the government taking in lieu a com,
pact body of timber east of Custer. The
work was pushed along last fall with a
hope of getting the matter cleared up,
but the coming Of cold weather stop
ped the field work before it was final

number OF sections of the lieu lands
to be scaled. IT is expected that this
work can be completed. and the trans

of trouble on the part of the state in
looking after the timber on scattered
tracts. and allow them to concentrate
on one compact body, and give it the
care necessary. And in that direction
the state will have an opportunity to
do something in the way Of timber

is once transferred to state control.
