LOWERED RENTS FOR STATE
LANDS BECAUSE OE pROuGAT

Pierre. S. D.. Dec. 1.-THE state land
department has received many letters
from west of the river leasers OF state
land, requesting, that in view of the
last seasons crop failure, that state
land rentals be lowered. Deputy Com
missioner N. NJ. Hanson, who has per
sonally visited most of this country the
last year and knows conditions, says
that 1t is likely the rent for pastoral
land will be reduced from 1Oc an acre
to about 7c, and from Sc to SC. In the
past all land, with the exception of
Harding n Perkins counties, has
brought 10c. The lowered rents Will
probably be for a three year term, the
department hoping that within that
time conditions will have changed suf-
fciently to warrant the higher price.

DAMAGE SUIT HANGS ON

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Dec. 1.-THE case
wherein William LaMott seeks to re-

"A. Craft, state fire marshal, and
others, for alleged false Imprisonment
and persecution growing out of his
arrest in September. 1910, in connection
with the destruction by fire of a barn
in Moody county, is still occupying the
tine OF the United States court.
The case has been very stoutly con
tested by both sides and objections
have been frequent. The defendants
won a pronounced victory when Judge
Elliott ruled that the question of
malice could not enter into the case,
and this was accepted by the plaintiff.
The plaintiff seeks to show that he
was imprisoned an Illegal length of
time before being released on bond.
and among other things alleges that
the warrant was invalid.
The defendants on the other hand
claim that everything was done law
FULLY and in the performance of their
duties as peace officers in attempting
to ferret out an alleged crime.

BIC EXPOSITION AND LAND SHOW
INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS SHOWN IN CONCRETE FORM AT
THE GREAT AUDITORIUM AND ARMORY
GROWTH OF IDEAS, RESOURCES
DETAIL GROUPS EXHIBITS

The fourth event OF the Saginaw
Industrial Exposition promises 10
eclipse all past efforts. The big Au-
ditorium will be devoted this year eX-
cluslvely TO products made in Saginaw,
and TO the means and machinery of
their manufacture. There are com
paratiyely few people who could name
the various things made here, and
fewer still who could identify the
means by which they are produced.
There is nothing so attractive as a
live exhibit, one I'm which some me-
chanical process is shown. This is
the big feature of the shows ia the
eastern states and their attendance
is enormous. On the average il is far
more interesting and attractive to pat
rons Of an Exposition to see a ma
chine knitting stockings than to see
a display of the finished product. The
average person would rather see the
people from the Blind Institute max
ing brooms or weaving rugs than to
merely look st pile of rugs or a
bundle OF brooms. A newspaper is
always an object of interest, but when
the public can see. as they did last
year at the News Exhibit, a linotype
in actual operation, there is far greater
curiosity. Nearly everybody has seen
a wood split pulley, but not one in a
hundred has seen the sawed cants,
the assembling and fastening with
consummate skill, the placing of the
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1911-09-07

bushing, and the other equally as
skillful operations necessary to- pro-
duce the finished article. And there
can be no doubt that there are thous-
ands who would like to see this and
similar processes. The point is that
it would be impossible to permit some
forty thousand or fifty thousand peo-
pie to visit the factory where things
are made, but model in working or
der placed at the Exposition can be
seen in ten days by that multitude
Hence it was a wise decision of the
Exposition TO this year limit the dis
play to Saginaw manufacturers. The
attractions will also be of a different
order and will be so compelling that
the patrons will want TO linger and
probably make a second or third visit
The Land Show Will also be an event
of magnitude and as it will be the
first Michigan affair of its kind it
promises to be a potent point OF in
