WOULD IRRIeATE BAD LANDS
Citizens of Scenic Will Meet On
December 10th to to Launch q
Gigantic Scheme.

Pierre, Nov. 29.-The citizens
Of Scenic and Of the surrounding
country will hold a meeting at
that place on December 10th to
perfect an organization to eventu-
ally put about $4,000 acres Of
table lands under irrigation by
means of stored flood waters.
These table lands in the Bad
Lands are regarded as rich soil
as is to be found anywhere. Even
in dry years, when there is no
grass in the valleys, a luxuriant
forage crop is found on the high
land. The rain fall is from IL to
~ inches annually, more frequent
ly being near the upper figure.
This is approximately that Of
Pierre. With this amount Of
moisture, sufficient water can be
retained in dams on ordinarily
dry water courses to irrigate a
vast area. In all probability Rex
dreen, assistant state engineer,
will be in attendance to instruct
the gathering in scientific meth
DDS for the conservation of water.
Another project which will be de-
veloped next summer and for
which right to appropriate water
has just been given, is that of JEFF
ferson d. Carr, on the Cheyenne
river near Lindsay, which will
embody 500 acres, to be planted
to alfalfa for hog and cattle feed

The federal grand jury, which

have had the two men mentioned
above under investigation and af-

turned an indictment against Eb
Jones for the larceny Of some of
the Dupree horses on the reser-

against Pete Joslin for the lar
ceny of some horses belonging to

posed to have been committed on

the evidence is sufficient to con-
vict, one of our once prominent

Pierre, Nov. 29.-Major Nc
Laughlin, of the Indian depart

Cheyenne River Reservation In
dians at their agency last week,
and discussed with them the op-
ening of all the rest Of the lands
OF their reserve not yet opened.
After discussing the proposition,
John Eastman, the principal
speaker, took the position that in
such opening the Indians want
the government to take the lands
to be opened off their hands com.
pletely, paying them lump sum
to be held, in trust for the In
dians, instead of their securing
payment as it is made by the set
tiers. James Crow Feather pres
ented a resolution, which was
adopted by the council, asking
that they be allowed to send a
delegation to Washington to con
fer with the Indian department
in regard to their wishes as to
the manner of disposal of THEN
lands.

SOUATTER IS GIVEN ISLAND
Government Declines to Recog-
nize its Entity not on Survey

Pierre, Nov. 90 COMMISSIONS
of Public Lands Brinker recently
issued deed to Fort Island, To-
Gated in the Missouri, just below
Chamberlain, to AL Fort, in obe-
dience to the will of the legisla-
ture. The consideration was 500.
This little piece of land, an or
binary Missouri river sand bar,
covered with willows and a few
cottonwoods, and built up since
the government survey Of the
country, has caused vast amour
of discussion and raises the ques-
ton as to title of much accre-
ton land. AL Fort squatted on it
number of years ago and al
most from the time of
his first occupancy has been try
ing to acquire title. The interior
department refused to give a pat
ent because it said that to it's Off
cial knowledge such a piece of
land did not exist, having been
created since the government sur.
vey. The state land department
refused to give a deed, saying
that it was in the middle of a
navigable stream and hence gov
ernment property. Senator Bartin
Of Oacoma, claimed it as accre-
ton property. Matters stood thus
when Senator Hedrick Of Brule
county, introduced a bill in the
last session deciding the island to
AL Fort in consideration for the
appraised valuation. The measur
was fought tooth and nail by Sen
ator Bartine, who owned the ad-
jacent shore, and occupied fully
two afternoons of the senator s
valuable time, only finally to be
enacted. Senator Blrtine was
the fighting state s attorney, as
depicted in Boyle's "Langford OF
the Three Bars, 80 and is living
up to his reputation as scrappel
He has been notified of the is
suance of the deed and it is ex-
pected he will bring some sort OF
an action testing the Fort Island
law, and which will ultimately de
eide the question, "WhO owns the
Missouri river sand bars?'
