Commissioner Promises to Try 10
Have the Matters Improved.

Washington. Feb. 17.--As an aid to
fiction i'll its more lurid spots the
American Indian has long been known
to fame and nobody has offered any
objection. With the development of
the latest thrill-producer. the NOV
ing picture show. however. the situa
tion has changed. Indian chiefs now
visiting the lodge of the White Father
have voiced emphatic protests to the
base uses to which their face is put
in the unwrittcn literature of the five
and ten cent picture shows; and In
dian Commissioner Robert G.. Valentine
has promised TO take the matter up
in all seriousness if necessary with the
White Father himself.
Big Buck and Big Bear of the dele
cation from the Cheyenne and Ara
phoe tribes which called upon Presi-
dent Taft this week, inspected q pic
ture show last night during tour of
the White Fathers village. They saw
a story of unmitigated villainy unroll-
ed before their eyes and native
American in full war paint and feath-
ers played the villain.
Il don't like it," said Big Bear when
the show was over. 1T is bad to be
lied about to SO many people. We
have to go home. If We didn't l would
go to President Taft and ask him to
stop it. We will attend to it when we
get home
Commissioner Valentine was equal
ly decided. Il have seen productions
wherein the Indian was pictured as
almost every evil thing one can
imagine" he said. but | have seen
only a few wherein he has been favor
ably represented. I shall personally
see what | can do to improve matters"

METEOR CROSSED HER BOW.
Arabc's Cruise Wound Up by Spec
tacuIar Night Apparition.

The Atlantic was spectacular few
hours before dawn on Sunday when
the White Star liner Arabic was about
400 miles east of Sandy Hook. two

stormy weather. She ran into a
snowstorm illumined by vivid light

the snow was driven in fantastic ed

Gus squalls. a great cannonlikc roar
shook the bridge, where Chief Officer
Williams and the commander. Capt
Finch. were on duty. The man in the
crows nest, away up in the foretop,
was even more startled than the men
on the bridge. What seemed like a
ball of blush white fire that preceded
the roar vanished Kissing into the sea.
The flash blinded the observers. and
the detonation stunned them for a

felt no electrical shock. For a few
seconds just before the meteor was

VALUATIONS ARE BOOSTED
Bank Stock and Automobiles are
Given Stiff Raise by State
Equalization Board.

Pierre, Aug. "a The state
equalization board has worked
out the valuations ON personal
property, and finds that many
charges are required on the r.
turns sent in by the counties.
The bank stock assessments es-
pecially do not come up to the
standard as shown by the re-
turns of the banks themselves,
and most of the counties are
given a raise over the returns,
these increases ranging from 5
per cent up, Hyde county shows
the greatest change with $50 per
cent added by the state board
to the return made by the coun-
ty auditor. Corson county is
pushed up 400 per cent; Camp
bell county 100 per cent, and Ly-
man IS per cent. Other coun-
ties range all the way down from
the above figures to nothing but
most of them get something in
the way. of an increase. The
assessment return on automobiles
also shows heavy raise by the
state board, only five count :es
of the state being accepted as
returned the greatest increase
being made in Hyde county,
where the valuation was pushed
up 200 per cent.
The changes made on real estate
and town lots are very slight, the
returns coming in practically
they were decided upon by the
connky auditors at their spring
meeting. Town lots are general
ly left as returned, and many of
the counties show an increase of
valuation of this class of proper
ty over the returns of last year.
The returns on live stock of
all classes generally is left as
returned, as the county boards
made their returns well along the
lines indicated at the spring
meeting, and the changes are in
banks, goods and merchants
and autos, in the greatest part.

INDIANS At STATE FAIR
Sioux Indians, Five Hundred
strong, Will Establish Native
Camp on Fair Grounds

rive hundred or more Sioux
Indians of South Dakota will be
N camp on the State Fair ground
throughout the week, and will
entertain all visitors with realis-
tlc productions of native Indian
hfe. This attraction will be
strictly under Indian manage
ment, and will not SAVIOR of arti-
flclality in any respect.
Among the Indians in camp
will be several old chieftains who
are famous for the fact that they
fought with the old warrior, Sit
ting Bull. AS an educational
feature, this Indian camp will be
one of the leading attractions at
the State Fair, and no one can
afford to miss seeing the last
of the old warriors who made lif
lntolerable for the early settlers.
The old time Indian is rapidly
disappearing, and the time will
soon come when this opportunity
cannot be afforded. South Da-
kota is one Of the very few
states in the Union that can Of
fer an entertainment of this
sort.
Among the interesting things
to be seen in connection with
the Indian camp will be the or
dinary, everyday life in an In
dian village; the cooking of
meals with hot stones, in a
leather kettle; the savage war
dance by moonlight, and many
other weird scenes never to be
forgotten.

DEER PROTECTION
Hunters in Black Hills Allowed
to Kill But One Animal.

Deadwood, Aug. "a Deer
hunters in the Black Hills this
year are not going to be so
plentiful as heretofore, and the
fleet footed animals which had
many friends in the last legis-
lature will be afforded consider
able protection this fall. Hereto
fore ii has been the law that
hunters could bag two deer
either buck or doe, each year,
for the small sum of S1.OO, pro-
vided they lived in the state, and
whenever there was snowfall in
November the slaughter was
heavy. Now the hunter must
take out two licenses, a 81 gun
license and a SIS deer license,
and is permitted to kill but one
deer, a buck, each season. Non
residents must pay $15 for the
gun license and $25 for the deer
license. The deer season is from
November 1at to December LIST,
and it is thought that the new
law will greatly reduce the num-
ber of hunters and consequently
the number of deer killed.

"cAME TO" IN TIME
Kadoka Man, in Trance, Reviv
ed in Time to Miss Funeral.

Mitchell, Aug. "a Georg
Brown, ranchman living near
Kadoka, fooled his friends when
they made arrangements to bury
him, supposing him to be dead.
Brown was riding a broncho
along a piece of hilly country
when the animal threw him over
a bank thirty feet high. When
picked up by his friends he seem
cd to be dead. A coffin was Sc
cured and brought to his ranch
house and the preparations were
made for the funeral
After twenty-four hours Brow
regained consciousness and put
a stop to further proceedings for
the funeral. At times he said h"
could understand what was going
on about him, but was powerless
to utter a sound to give evidenc
that he was not dead.

RESERVATION LAND
Arrangements for the Drawing of
October Next at Pine RIDGE
and Rosebud by the Govern
ment

and Rosebud by the Govern
ment.
Dallas, S. D., Aug. 24.-Judge
James w. Witten, of Washington
D. c., who will be in personal
charge of registration for the
Rosebud and Pine Ridge reserva-
ton lands, has made formal ar
rangemcnts for his living quart
ers in Dallas during the regis
tration period-October 2 to 81.
He has arranged for daily auto
mobile service. so that he can
also supervise registration af-
fairs at Gregory, five miles east
of here.
One of the new regulations for
handling envelopes at the coming
opening is that all must be stamp
ed and mailed through the post
office, this rule applying just the
same at Dallas, Gregory, Cham
berlain and Rapid City. Three
years ago, in the Trip county
opening, applications made at
Dallas and Gregory were dropped
directly into the large cans with
out stamps but at all other points
the envelopes were deposited in
the mail.
Two reasons are assigned for
the new rule. One is to over
come any possible imputation of
advantage to stamped or un-
stamped envelopes, as the claim
was heralded that the little girls
who did the drawing of the first
100 numbers were influenced by
the "bright red stamps. - There
will be a chance for such
criticism this time.
Another material reason for re-
quiring all applications to be
mailed to the supervising officer
is to give an opportunity to in
spect the envelopes for outside
marking If anything of the kind
appears the envelopes will be
opened and the application re-
turned to the person executing it
with an explanation of the ir-
regularity of this plan, giving the
person an opportunity to t.
again. Two envelopes drawn out
under the 100 mark three years
ago were labeled, on the outside.
with the name of the applicant.
This voided the application and
caused those two individuals, as
well as others up the list, to be
burdened with exceeding re-
morse.
Inquiries received by the Great
re Dallas committee and by var
ious individuals here indicate
that the registration this fall may
be very large and no surprise will
be occasioned if the mark of
10000 applications, established
three years ago, will be over
reached in this event. The land
seekers who come to Dallas will
have the opportunity for q
thorough inspection Of the re-
sources of this section, as ar
rangements have been completed
FOR an immense live stock and
grain exhibit here, to continue
during the three weeks of regis
tration. The exhibits will cover
the entire Rosebud country
