Indian Lands Too cheap

that the remaining Indian lands avail.

states broadly that the tribes should
be paid a better price for them than
has cen obtained in the past.
While not opposed to the payment by
hom,steaders of fair prices for Indian
lands, western members declare that
the practical effect of the policy
enumerated by Secretary Adams
would be to retard development in
South Dakota and other northwestern
states.

The department is of the opinion, "

an acre is a comparatively small price
to pay to the Indians for lands patented
to the states. This he as
a general conclusion. So far as the
Cheyenne river lands are concerned, he

steaders to western South Dakota,
received a letter from w. S. Johnson,

that he will be back to his land near

He advises South Dakotans to stay
where they are so far as the Oregon
country are concerned, as it is owe
doomed, prices are far above real values.
He finds that the man who purchases
Oregon lands on terms will find taxes

the taxes in that country are so far
beyond anything attempted to be levied
in this state that there is no com
parison.

MutinGaTS at PGkIng Continue
Work Of PIlagG.

Picking, March 2.-It is believed
that Yuan Shi Kai has lost control of
the soldiery. None of the troops ex-
cept the Manchus are to be depended
on and they evidently care only to de-
fend the imperial and forbidden cities.
The s~moldering fires in many dis
tricts of the city are being raked over
by throngs of the poor. No fresh fires
have occurred, but there has been
some further footing in remote quar-
ters of the city.
The trains departing for Tientsin
are crowded with refugees.
The number of killed during the
disturbances probably is under 100.
The object OF the rioters evidently was
loot and not slaughter and the con-
tinued firing apparently was designed
to intimidate the people.
The incendiary fires have all been
extinguished or have died. The loss is
estimated approximately at $4,000
900.
