The bill to open for settlement the
surplus and unallotted lands of the

the opening proclamation is issued a
few allotments at present unprovided
for are to be made.
While protests against the opening
have been made by some of the Pine
Ridge Indians, in the opinion of the
committee, a majority favor the act,
believing with the committee, it is
stated, that the settlement and devel-
opment of the proposed area to be
opened would greatly enhance the
value of the remaining Indian lands.
The lands are to be inspected, APP
praised and valued by a commission
to be appointed by the president sub
ject to the approval of the secretary of
the Interior One-fifth of the apprais-
ed valuation is to be paid by the set
tiers on entry, the balance in five an
nual installments. Proceeds from the
sale of the lands are to be expended
Tor the benefit of the Indians through
the proper authorities.

Governor Issues Proclamation Mamma
April 10.
Governor Vessey has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation fixing Friday,
April 10, as Arbor day:
''In full appreciation of the real and
true relation of trees, shrubs and
flowers to the public health, happiness
and comfort, and in order that the
general interest therein may be fur
thered and augmented, hereby name
Friday. April 10, 1912, as Arbor day,
and urge upon the people of the state
wide observance of the same.
In this great and inspiring move
ment it is highly important that the
interests of the children be enlisted,
for while we of today may begin the
solution of the problem of reforestra-
ton and conservation the conclusion
must be accomplished by those who
follow after US. I therefore earnestly
recommend that Arbor day of this
year be especially observed by the
public schools and devoted to the prac-
teal instruction of our youth in these
matters essential to the beauty and
betterment of our homes, our cities
and our state"

There are yet eleven Iowa counties
to hear from. Taft needs only two
of them to control the State Republi-
can convention. 1t is believed at
least six or seven of these are safely
sure for him. He will probably have
. clear majority of nearly or quite
one hundred over all others when the
convention proceeds to perform the
business for which it is called to
transact.
There are three candidates seeking
the nomination to congress on the re-
publican ticket in this congressional
district who are remarkable states
men in more ways than one First
on the list is Chas. II. Burke of
Pierre, who has so ably represented
this state in the lower halls of con-
gress during the past six terms or
more. His record in the house has
been creditable one in every par
ticular. He Is one of the men who is
known all over the United States to
be absolutely above the reach of criti-
cism touching his integrity or his
loyalty TO the interests of the public.
He is q man of excellent ability, and
an indefatigable worker. With the
experience he has had during his six
or more terms In the house, and his
perfect familiarity with all the intri-
cacies of national legislative methods
and with his extensive acquaintance
with public men, and the important
positions he holds In committee work,
and the strong friendships he has
formed, he will be able during the
coming term to be of still greater SER
Vice to the people Of South Dakota
than ever before. The people of this
district and state are fortunate indeed
to have such man as Chas. II.
Burke to represent their interests in
the councils of the nation and they
will show still greater wisdom in
their insistance upon his continued
service. Agar Argus.
