lands and would by no means have
been of equal value.
The tract secured in the Black Hills
it is estimated contains 200,o00,0 ,0Co
board feet of good sound merchaptable
timber, besides good stand of healthy
young timber and reproduction, and
a considerable area Of well wa tered
grazing land.
The Short Pines tract contains
some merchantable timber, but its
chief value consists of good stand
of young stuff, and nearly the entire
area is good grazing land. AS the
state now owns large area adjoing
this tract, it is of peculiar value as it
will supply posts, poles and firewood
TO purchasers of these state lands.
The multitudinous details which have
preceded the successful elimination
of the exchange have required a great
deal Of Mr.. Brinker's time during the
past year, every phase Of it which
would in any wav materially affect
the state being given careful personal
consideration.
1t will, no doabt, be a matter of
great satisfaction to the taxpayers OF
the state TO know that title to land
now conservatively estimated TO be
worth 81, 100000 and rapidly increas-
ing in value, has been settled in favor
of the state, and in years to come the
exchange will be pointed to as one of
the achievements which have charac-
terized the present administration for
and careful personal
attention to matters which are of
vital interest to the present as well as
future generations.
The acquisition Of these lands by
the state will necessitate the creation
of the position of forester as feature
of the department as it is proposed to
administer these lands along the line
of the national forest administration,
and if this is done the sale OF mature
timber alone will yield an income of
thousands of dollars every year to the
state school funds.

and Andrew Severson, aud these gen.
tlemen will have charge of and COM
duct of the Short Course for next
year which will beyond d doubt be a
great success.
The Short Course was a most sue
cessful one and the good that is de-
rived from these meetings it is i'm
possible to estimate, and the benefits
Of these meetings grow greater each
year as the interest increases. To
witness the growth of the Snort
Course from the small beginning to
the institution it is today proves be-
yOnd q doubt that the farmers are in
terested and appreciate the work un-
dertaken to teach better farming
methods and better farm conditions.
The Short Course held at Kadola is
the only meeting of its kind west of
the Missouri river but we hope that
ere long from the example set here
the number will grow until hundreds
of such meetings are held throughout
this entire county and that every
farmer and his family who are help
ing in bringing the west of the river
country to the front may haYe an op-
portunity of attending these meetings.
The officers in charge of the Short
Course are to be congratulated on the

STATE GETS TITLE
TO FOREST LANDS

Pierre Special South Dakota
will within few days receive un-
disputed title to $4,000 acres of heavily
timbered land now within the bound
aries of the Black Hills National
Forest Reserve, and 1900 acres con-
stituting what is known as the West
Short Pines, in Harding county.
+. F. Brinker, commissioner of
school and public lands, has Just re-
turned from Washington. where he
has been in conference with the
forest service relative to the exchange
of school sections (16 and 96l scatter
ed throughout the Black Hills. for
other lands in compact areas. and be-
fore leaving there completed all the
details of the exchange, and was as
sured that the presidents proclama-
tion would no doubt be issued with
out delay.
This is a very satisfactory settlement
of matter that has caused great
deal of controversy between the state
and the federal government for years.
The latter has always held that the
school sections were subject to the
claims of homesteaders who located
on them before survey, and were
also subject to mineral entry, and a
part of all of nearly every school sec-
ton in the Black Hills was taken
either as homestead or as mineing
claims.
While it is true that the state had
the right to select other land of equa
area elsewhere in the state, TO have
done so would have practically ex
hausted all the remaining homestead

Mr.. Johnson has lived in South
Dakota FOR 27 years and is known
through every portion of the state.
He Laid the foundation for his fortune
at Armour which place he left in 1896
and removed to Rapid City. He was
urged two years ago TO carry the banner
of the democrats but declined because
of the illness of his wife. Last fall Mr.
Johnson moved TO Yankton. He is
wealthy, and good organizer, and
his friends say that he will conduct a
campaign which will attract attention
before the election is held.

LINCOLN DAY
PROCLAMATION

Gov. Vessy has Issued the following
Lincoln day proclamation:
In honor and in commemoration of
the great Lincoln, our state legislat-
dre has set aside the twelfth day of
FEBRUARY in each year az legal holi-
day, and at this time / desire to rec
omend general observance by South
Dakota's entire citizenship of the an
niversary now meas at hand.
The record of Abraham Lincoln's
life is so Incorporated into and so
closely allied to the history of our
country that it all Americans are
well acquainted; with his early boy
hood, his youth, his maturity; and by
America and all the civilized world
he is revered as hero, martyr and
as a man.
Although he was born in poverty
and his earlier years wer passed in
obscurity and an environment of toll
and difficulty, the innate forces and
qualities of his mind were such as to
fit him, and well fit him, for the ma
tion deliverer, patient and wise, with
mighty brain and warm heart, he
piloted Us through the darkest of
national perils, serving with unques-
toned loyalty and devotion the right
for which he always fought.
The life of Abraham Lincoln was the
exemplihcation of real integrity, of
honest nobility and is an INSPIRATION
to all true Americans
