Pierre.-The failure Of the attempt
TO refer the law creating the state de-
partment of immigration means that
within thirty days the immigration
board created by the law will be call
ed upon to select a commissioner,
the board for this purpose being com
posed of the governor, secretary or
state and state land commissioner.
While there are a number Of aspirants
over the state who would not object
to acting as commissioner, those ap-
parently pushing the hardest for the
honor are: |. A. Webb Of Deadwood,
Everett White Of Faith. and George
Van Camp of Highmore. The selec-
ton will probably be made before the
first of July, when the law creating
the department goes into effect. Just
what salary is paid the commissioner
is left to the discretion Of the board,
but as the department is only granted

Washington.-ln a communication
received by Representative Burke, /.
c. Burns, register of the land office at
Gregory, S. d.. asks that an ~investiga-
ton be made of the charges Of George
Silsbee. the Minnesota soldier, who In
a letter recently forwarded to Repre-"
sentative Davis made statements re-
fecting on the administration of Reg
lister Burns and Land Commissioner
bennett. Silsbee charged in substance
that he had Deer ~defrauded out of a
claim on Trip county land in South
Dakota.
Register Burns comes back with a
charge that Silsbee was used as a
eats paw" by land vultures. and he
asks that the case be placed in the
hands of an inspector with instructions
to make a thorough investigation.
Representative Burke has called the
matter to the attention of Commits
sioner bennett, and an inquiry Will
doubtless be made as demanded by the

Three implicated.

Sioux Falls.--At first it was sup
posed that five men were implicated
in the robbery Of the Farmers Savings
bank at Tea the other night, but the
authorities now are convinced that
only three men-those captured in
Sioux Falls-were concerned in the
robbery and accordingly the search
for the two supposed fugitives has
been abandoned.
In addition to the S642 found in the
possession of the three men when
they We're arrested here, quite a sum
was found on the ground near Tea at
the spot where one of the robbers fell.
leaving only about $500 which has not
yet been recovered. In some quarters
1t is believed this amount was buried
at some point between Tea and Sioux
Falls, while others believe the money
was given to a confederate Of the men
after they reached Sioux Falls. 1t is
scarcely probable that the money
missing will be recovered.
Although the prisoners have steadily
refused to give their names or any
other information concerning them
selves, two of them have been identi
fed as former prisoners in the Sioux
Falls ~penitentiary. One of the fellows
apparently the oldest of the three
has been identified as Ed Gordon, who
served four years on a sentence i'm
posed in Nebraska at a time Wher
federal prisoners from that state were
brought to the Sioux Falls penlten
tiary. The other who has been identl
fed completed a six months term fol
grand larceny November /. 1910.
The three prisoners will be com
PEELED to pass the summer in the Lin
coin county Jail, as a term OF state
circuit court will not convene in tina
county until next September, and the.
cannot be tried until that time.

to the distinction Of being the first in

an insurgent before the word ''insur-

congress 16 years, and he has been

Before the "stalwarts' in WiscOn-
sin had Robert Marion La Fohette to
trouble them, Henry A. Cooper of the
First Wisconsin district was inclined
to muss up the program of the regu-

Fffty-third congress. One or twice
an effort was made to defeat him for
the nomination, and after that they
tried to defeat him at the election,
but he has been returned to each sue

his first term he was placed upon the

Be Open IN OCTOBER
TOTAL OF 800, 900 ACRES, LARGE
LY GRAZING LAND, TO BE
AVAILABLE TO SETTLERS.

Pierre, S. D.-The latest report is
that Mellette county will be opened
TO settlement some time in October.
This will no doubt be by drawing for
filings, and the actual settlement will
not occur until next spring. In that
relation the following figures have.
been given out as to what the home
steaders can expect to secure when
they get an opportunity at these
lands. There will be about 100000
acres Of land left for entry after the
Indian selections. Of this 10000.
acres, or 125 claims, have been ap-
praised at from s4.75 tc 5000 AN
acre, being considered the best lands
left open; about four times that
amount has been listed as second in
grade and is appraised, at from SO
to $4 an acre, and in this list will be
found land which will no doubt suit
some of the settlers as we'll as the
higher priced land. The remaining
200, 900 acres are classed as grazing
land, and are probably rough. They
are appraised at from 25s cents an
acre up to 50. This country Joining
on Nebraska has been favored this
year with rains not secured farther
north, and is looked upon as first
class land.
