CANNOT REGISTER IN

SOME 10000 EAVE SENT THEIR

Ten But THEY WON'T BE
HONORED.

Dallas, S. D.-Because of a con-
fused notion on the question OF
mailing applications for the Rose
bud and Pine Ridge land opening
nearly 10000 people located in all
sections OF the Cuited States have
made a faulty start on the PROPOSE
ition Of trying for one of these farms.
Almost that many applications have
so far been mailed to Judge James
w. Witten at Dallas, under the i'm
preston that registrations may be
made in this manner.
In order to correct some of the al
legged prejudices of previous OPEN
ings a regulation was announced
that all applications must be mailed
to Judge Witten. This instruction
as to mailing applies only after the
slips have been duly executed at one
of the registration towns. but many
have construed it to mean that they
can mail applications from their
home towns.
Judge Witten will return to Wash

Sweeping Acquittal

PRAISE IS GIVEN
President Says His Efforts fol
Pure Food Should Com
mand Sympathy

Beverly, Mass.-Dr. Harvey w
Wiley, government chemist and
champion of the people against food
authorizations, will hold his place in
the government service.
Some others in the department OF
agriculture, who have been hostile to
Wiley, may be asked to retire to pri-
vate life.
These facts were made known to-
day through the announcement OF
the decision of President Taft upon
the charges brought against DR.. Wi
ley. In commenting on the charges,
Acknowledgement Wickersham ad-
vised ''condign punishment" for WI
ley. The principal allegation against
DR.. Wiley was the technical one of
employing DR.. H. H. Rusby as expert
chemist at a higher compensation
than was authorized.
The presidents decision today is
in the form of a letter to James Will
son, secretary OF agriculture. Taft
says that DIR. Wiley was justified in
all he did in the matter of the en-
ployment of DR.. Rusty as an expert
chemist. The president says Wiley
acted in accordance With numerous
precedents.
DR.. Wiley, says the president, can.
not but command the sympathy OF
every one for his earnest efforts to
maintain the pure food law.
Taft also recommends the reten-
tion of DR.. Rusty as an expert.
The president rules adversely to the
decision of the personnel board that
besides DR.. Wiley, DR.. L. F. Kelster,
chief of the drug laboratory, should
be allowed to resign.

careful survey of the railroad
bridges on both sides of American
island at this place, and conditions
generally that have to be commended
with in spanning the Missouri river
at this point. While no official state
ment has been given out, there is
good reason to believe that the rail-
road company desires permission
from the government to dam the
river on The west side of the island,
thus throwing the whole volume of
water to the east side, where a good
stage of water would be available at
all times, making it only necessary
to maintain IL bridge at this point
for crossing trains. While the plan
would, do away with American island
as an island, the park territory
would be increased, and with a road
way between the island and the west
bank over which autos and teams
could cross, it would only be neces-
sary to operate a ferry between the
east shore and the island, thirteen
hundred feet. making it unnecessary
to maintain a ferry service between
Chamberlain and Oacoma, four
miles. In ease the river is closed on
the west side of the island it is the
expectation that the railroad COM
pany would, put in a steel bridge on
the east side.

the opening to settlement next
month of large areas of cedcd In

counties, in the extreme south-ccn-
trail part of the state. the next big
l%opening Of Indian land in South Da-
kota will embrace surplus tracts in
Todd and W%ashabaugh counties, the
former now being included in the
Rosebud reservation and the latter
in the Pine Ridge reservation.
1t is not generally known that for
some time Major John Fl. Scriven.
United States allotting agent, and a
number of assistants have been hard
at work allotting lands to Indians
in the two counties preliminary to
the surplus Indian land in the two
counties being opened to white set
Element when all arrangements have
been concluded and the consent of
the Indians has been secured.
1t is believed hat congress-, at it's
session during the coming winter
will authorize a treaty being nego-
tiated with the Indians for the sur
render of their surplus lands in the
two counties.
Should this action be taken, as en-
'pected, and the consent of the In
dians be secured the land could be
opened to settlement some time next
summer or next fall.
Major Scriven has informed &C
quaintances that the field work of
himself and assistants in Todd coun-
ty will be completed about October

ready to take up the work of MAX
ing allottments in Washabaugh
