gratified this subject has arrested the
attention of the secretary of the in
terror, Mr.. Fisher, in his annual re-
port which he has just submitted to
congress. He indicates the policy of
the administration in his regard
that nothing will be dcne to hamper
the bona fide settler and that no un-
necessary burdens will be placed up
on him. He also favors a relaxation
as to requirements as to residence for
the first two years and that strictness
should apply to cultivation during
that time rather than to residence. In
this | heartily concur and believe the
settler who is endeavoring in good
faith to develop and build up new

the administration of the land laws

Commercial Club Meets.

The Lennon Commercial Club
held a rather important meeting
Monday evening. the main object
of which was to consider the
problem of urging the county
commissioners of Perkins county
to provide for seed grain for
needy settlers.
In the course of the arguments
Mr.. Lennon rose and showed
that the finances of Perkins
county are in excellent condition,
and that there is something like
$45, 600 on hands in the various
funds, of which amount war
rants for $40, 900 are about to be
called in and paid. Also, that
the furnishing Of grain for seed
by the county would not be a
serious burden for the county,
the great assessment value of
over four million dollars making
any weight on the property COM
paratively light for each indi-
vidual.
At the end of the discussion
the chair appointed a committee
consisting of Messrs. F. A. Finch,
Oscar C.. Olsen and T. d. Pot
win, as a committee to get in
touch upon this problem with
the various commercial bodies
within the county, and mean
while to appear before the county
commissioners, to urge them tc
set date in the near future es.
pecially for the hearing of the
citizens Of the county as to Their
need of seed grain. The county
commissioners meet in adjourned
session Jan. 21, at which time
the committee expect to presen
the matter of seed grain ap

1t was last Friday morning
when the mercury crawled down
to AZ below zero which gave
Logan Berry occasion to remark
that that particular day and date
was the Oath anniversary of the
big storm Of 1883 held in rever-
ent memory by all old time Da-
kotans. And then. as if the
weather got ashamed of itself
because of this rebuke, the
temperature promptly rose, and
Saturday morning. oh wonder,
ere yet the tardy dawn gilded
the sky, there was a patter Of
rain on the roof. Something
like .45 inch fell, and thrifty
householders actually caught
quite a lot Of rainwater. Dur
ing the day the temperature rose
to nearly so above zero.

the senator said:
II have bills pending and expect to
secure tbeirpassage during the present
session opening all the remaining
lands on the Standing Rock Indian
reservation, aggregating about ZOO,
600 acres, and on the Cheyenne River
Indian reservation, aggregating 200,
600 acres. These bills passed the SEN
ate during the last congress, but fail
ed of consideration in the house, |
have also pending bill to open the
lands in Todd county, aggregating
900, 900 acres. This is all the remain
ing lands within the Rosebud reser.
vation. | have also pending bill for

earnest effort to secure the favorable
consideration and passage of these
bills Should these lands be opened

counties in the state on the Pine Ridge
reservation unopened for settlement.
