MORE LAND TO Be OPENED
Todd and Washabaugh Counties
Soon to be Homesteaded

Chamberlain, Sept. 2O.-Fol-
lowing the opening to settlement
next month of large areas of ced-
ed Indian lands in Mellette and
Bennett counties, in the extreme
south central part of the state,
the next big opening Of Indian
land in South Dakota will en-
brace surplus tracts in Todd and
Washabaugh counties, the for
mer now being included in the
Rosebud reservation and the lat
ter in the Pine Ridge resserva-
ton. 1t is not generally known
that for some time Major John
ii. Scriven, United States allot-
ing agent, and number of as
sistantS have been hard at work
alloting lands to Indians in these
two counties preliminary to the
surplus Indian land in the two
counties being opened to white
settlement when all arrangement
is have been concluded and the
consent of the Indians has been
secured.
1t is believed that congress-, at
its session during the coming win
ter will authorize a treaty being
negotiated with the Indians for
the surrender of their surplus
lands in the two counties.
Should this action be taken, as
expected, and the consent of the
Indians be secured the land could
be opened to settlement some
time next summer or next fall.
Majo Scriven has informed
acquaintance that the field
work of himself and assistants
in Todd county will be complet-
ed about October /, of this year,
when they will be ready to take
up the work of making allotments
in Washabaugh county.
Both counties contain much
good farm land and it is proba-
BILE that homesteaders, when Civ
en an opportunity, will engage
in quite a rush to secure them.

This is not unfair to the out
side land owners, as their land
would never be worth anything,
only through the people that
stay here. The only man that
could possibly make kick about
this proposition would be the one
that has bought up lot of land !;
it would raise his tax little
for example, about one-siXth in
lnavale township. There would
probably be some opposition on
those grounds, though there
should not be, as those men get
the same benefits from the raise
in land values as the eastern own
er does.-A STANLEY COUN-

Lines Being Drawn

The announcement of Senator
Gamble that he should support
President Taft for denomination,
following upon the heels of Sen
ator Crawford S letter in which
he announces unreservedly that
he will assist in an attempt to
secure IA South Dakota delega
ton for LaFollette has the effect
of clearing the atmosphere to a
considerable extent SO far as in
dic. ting how the leaders in the
party are going to line up III the
coming primary. Several of the
leading republican papers have
expressed great dissatisfaction
with both of these candidates and
hoped that third man might be
found to carry the South Dakota
delegation. But recent develop
mentS convince us that the lead
ers are dividing off between
these two men and the fig Int is to
be Taft or LaFollette and the
rank and file will have no option
except to make choice of one
or the other. Mr.. Taft has tax
en- some positions on tariff legis
lation that are distasteful to the
middle west but they have been
rJnslStant with the general repub
.lcdn policy Of the nation and no
all times been loyal and true to
the time honored principals of re-
pabIicanism. Mr.. LaFollctte on
the other hand has at times stray
,d away in search Of strange gods
md has exhibited great enthus
iasm for new and untried expert

all of judges, which in effect
would make every law suit a

the country from Brookings west
by the thousands, Just as they
have been doing into the newer
county west of the Missouri the
past few Years. Then came a
season of drouth; crops failed
and a quarter section of land did
not produce enough to support a
child. Then came the rush to
get back east and each returning
hOmesteader told how the cOun-
try never would amount to any
thing. But the editOrs-they did
not desert. Almost to a man
they remained at their post and
Frightened up the columns of
their papers with articles cheer
ing up those who remained and
telling Of the wonderful richness
of soil, the splendid climate, pre-
dieting that the future would see
South Dakota lead the sisterhood
of states. How they lived we can
not tell, out there they stayed
and in the end profited by the
full realization Of their rainbow
predictions. And now history is
repeating itself. Those with a
yellow streak are getting out,
but the knights of the shears and
the paste pot remain on duty,
never failing to be optimistic and
urging the claims of state to a
position among the most favor
ed. 1t is a hard time for them
but as in the past, their faithful
ness is bound to bring it's re-
ward. Here s to the faithful
press, may the state never forget

Who Should Pay Land Tax?

There is "a petition being circu-
lated to bond the county, to OBJ
tain seed grain for the farmers
who are here and are otherwise
unable to procure it. Let this
good work 60 on.
AT the present time everything
should be done to keep the actu-
al farmer here. | think that thru
the press or by petition the fol-
lowing question could be stirred
up with some beneficial results:
At present the actual settlers,
who are staying here through the
worst drouth that has been seen
in some years, should be shown
some consideration in a substan-
tial form.
We are now paying the same
tax on our land that non-resi-
dents are. Now, this isn't fair,
as it will be through these real
stayers that the nonresident lanC
owner will reap his fortune.
Now, why should not the land
owner who is staying here be
exempt at least the the taxes on
his home. l believe that every
farmer who is staying here
should be entitled to at least 16O
acres Of land free from taxes.

which had caused him continued
i'll health, was the cause of his
death, which came quickly Sat
urdaN afternoon, soon after his
removal to the lIargens hospi-
tai.
Miss Margaret Dolliver, dean
Of women at Morningside, was a
sister to the deceased, and an
other sister lives in Chicago.

mer in teaching at a chautaupua
