Rosebud and Pine Ridge Indian
Reservations of South Dakota,

Approximately 466, 562 acres of
observation-disclosures graz
ing land is thus thrown open to
homestead entry. The land is
watered by the White River and
numerous streams flowing into
it. These lands are capable of a
high state of cultivation and are
very desirable for general farm
ing and stock raising. The coun.
try is rolling prairie land. Soil
is rich, black loan and grows
notable crops of corn, wheat, bar
ley, rye, oats, speltz, etc. Alfalfa
is one of the best producers.
The easiest way to reach the
reservations and Chamberlain,
the registration point, is via the
the Chicago, Milwaukee and
Saint Paul Railway, which runs
within few miles of the lands to
be opened.
Full information can be had
from any Government land office
or from agents of the Chicago,

A SPLENDID PLAY.
Synopsis Of the ''Third Degree," to
be Given at the Bentley Grand
on September 81.

The forthcoming production Of
Charles Klein $ latest play, "The
Third Degree which the United
Play Company will present at
the Bentley Grand on Thursday,
Sept. 81, should arouse the inter
est of every playgoer, whether
or not they were fortunate
enough to have witnessed Mr..
klein's former success, "The
Lion and the Mouse.
In his latest play, "The Third
Degree, the author has seen fit
to change the locale to New York
City and taken for his central
characters members of the old
Knickerbocker set.
The story deals with young
man of good parentage who is
under suspicion Of having occa-
stoned the murder Of man
found dead under the most pc
~culiar circumstances. The po-
lice in their stupidity, seeking to
unravel the mystery, and anxious
to fasten the guilt on someone,
seize upon the boy as their victim
and bring to bear the entire
weight of their authority to con-
vict him. The young mans wife
seeking to aid him, solicits the
assistance of his father, and be-
ing refused, sets herselfto defeat
the minions of the law in their
} efforts to miscarry justice and
with no other resources than a
womans intuition, ingenuity,
cunning and courage, combats
them single handed. The piece
abounds in thrilling situations,
which. if Mr.. Klein had never
done other than to create them,
would have stamped him as a
dramatist of rare ability. There
is an abundant sprinkling OF
wholesome comedy throughout
to relieve the more serious dra-
matte scenes.

PHILIPPINE VOLCANOES.
Mayor 10 the Most Famous, and the
TaaI Comes Next.

MAyon 70 the Most Famous, and the
TaaI Comes Next.
The most famous Philippine volcano
and one of the finest volcano cones In
the world Is that Of Mayon. Its height
is 500 feet. and the volcano is visible
at great distance. Since 1866 records
have been kept Of its eruptions. In
that year many plantations and VII
lagos were buried under a stream of
lava which flowed down its eastern
slope About 1000 lives were lost In
the eruption Of 1914. which buried the
country around a part Of the base Of
Mayor under the outpourings OF lava
and dust. A similar calamity In 1926
destroyed the lives Of about ], 500 per-
sons. In the nineteenth century there
were a number Of severe eruptions. In
cluding one in 1857 which continued
about nine months. An eruption In
1897 killed $50 persons and destroyed
much property. Twenty-Five violent
eruptiOns Of this volcano are on record.
Next to Mayor the Taal volcano IL
the most remarkable. 1t il on an Is
land in the lake Of Bombon. and the is-
land. built up by its outpourings. has
an area Of 22O square miles. The vol
cano is necessarily ejecting dust and
vapor from its crater. Taal as well as
Mayor has been the center Of numer-
GUS destructive earthquakes, but no
very great eruption has occurred since
1854. when four villages around tho
mountain were completely destroyed.

Argonaut: General Miles says
nothing new in the declaration that in

pine Islands would Immediately fall
into the hands of the latter. The
condition is plain to the intelligent
eye. Not only has Japan more ships
of war in the Pacific Ocean than the
United States, but also larger and

of Hawaii these advantages are hard.

Minneapolis Tribune: Hawaii's Ter
ritorial Legislature has petitioned
Congress for admission as a State,
and asking that our next battleship
be named Hawaii.
The latter request might well De
granted out of hand, jnasmuch as a
battleship named Hawaii would fur
nish advertisement to the world that
we hold the Islands as part and par
Gel of the inalienable soil of this Re-
public.
The Islands already are a Territory
as distinguished from an overseas pos
session, and while they lie some two
thousand miles west of our coast,
they are separated from nearest Asia
by some three thousand miles. They
cannot be regarded as Asiatic in any
sense and have in their previous his
tory been little influenced by Asia.
Nor, on the other hand, can they
be considered as really part of that
Oceania which stretches over the
South Sea from Australia to beyond
the Equator and westward toward
South America as far as Tahiti.
Geographically, perhaps, they might
be considered as a northern extension
of the submerged Oceanic continent,
but for the fact that they are volcan-
ic and not coraline in origin, and from
the further fact that a wide gap exists
between them and the nearest true
South Sea group.
Thus they are isolated, but are near
est this continent. The only outside
influence that has much affected them
proceeded from this continent. Amer
lean missionaries first and American
commerce afterward account for their
modern Development Honolulu today,
even with it's Oriental and South Sea
complexion, is a truly American city
Moreover, in these days of rapid

munication, what is the distance Of
sea? Not so much as the distance
between California and the East be-
fore the Rocky Mountain States were

development in the Islands.
There is no reason why Hawaii
should not look forward to becoming
a State. It's superficial area COM
pares with that of Maine or Indiana.
It's population is already greater than
that of some of our States, and Homo

Socialist PAPERS Views.

New York Call: Conditions in the
Hawaiian Islands are very bad for the
workers and as Commissioner of I'M
migration Keefe has been making an
investigation of the lot of workers
there, there is considerable specula-
ton here as to what the federal gov
eminent will do.
The general opinion is that Keefe's
report on conditions will not favor the
planters, and this view receives
strong support in the fact that W. O..
Smith, secretary of the Sugar Plant
ers' Association, has hurTiedly left
for Washington.
Cheap labor is the chief need of
the sugar planters, and they have
tried the Chinese, the Japanese, the
Russians, and now are using Filipinos
For many years China was the source
of an efficient and plentiful supply of
labor, but that was long since stop
ped. Japan, also, for a time, sup
piled considerable good and cheap la
Dor, but it is said that more Japanese
left than came to the islands during
the past year.
The experience of the planters with
the Russian workers was very discour-
aging to them AS will be recalled,
the Russian peasants lured from ST.
IBERIA to Honolulu early last year, re-
VOTED against the treachery of the
planters and their agents. The cpl
sode created such nasty mess at
Washington that the planters want
no more Russians. No more, thanks!
The planters we're forced to turn to
fields untitled, to lands where ignor-
ance is bliss, and workers can be led
to believe that in the Hawaiian ISL
ands there is little work, big pay, lots
of leisure, and milk and honey for all
who come. The most promising field
was the Philippine Islands, and for
about year they have been Turing
simple Filipinos here.

SCARE LETTER
FROM THE EAST

The following copy of letter received in Honolulu by last mail
Arlington, March 81, 1911.
My Dearest Marie:
Are you not afraid to remain in Honolulu
any longer? If I was there, I would not
lose one hour in getting safely to the
United States while there is yet time. IF you
could but read the New York and Washingt ton
appers I feel sure that you would feel the
same. They claim that at the present moment
there are go, 900 drilled Japanese men in
Honolulu who but await the command to take
up arms. There is but one regiment Of
American soldiers there, and Honolulu is
the first place that would be cut off from
supplies and taken complete possession Of
by the Japs. Not only that but they are
such crafty and cruel nation that there
is telling what Light be the fate Of the
poor American women in the Hawaii Islands.
Mexico and all Of the coast is unsafe, but
the Hawaii Islands especially Besides,
the greatest diplomats declare that is but a
ma ter Of weeks, days hours before war
Will actually break out. They all think it
even if delayed for month that it is
inevitable. Then suppose that no did
break out and you left your position, which
may be good one, would it not be better to
lose it and be safe than to be in such
1mmenent danger and run such terrible risks
am greatly worriCd about you, how I
wish you safe and sound in the Uni ted
States again. You know that Honolulu and
the philippines are wanted for coal1ng
sta lions by Japs and therefore would be the
first places taken possession OF by the
Japs The situation on the coast,
California, etc. will be almost bad
you would have to make up your mind to come
further East. DO think it over, and do,
please dear Marie think it over we'll for
tremble for you in that dreadful Island
after reading all Of the war news. Then
If you decide to make move, I pray you,
Make it quick, for each hour that you delay
may make it too late.
Hoping to get cable or note from you
soon that you have started home, and wi tn
