MIxuP IN BOUNDARY
Lines DESCRIBING
COUNTY OF Dewey
Tangled Survey Conditions
Found to Leave Nc Legal
Outline for Province.

Pierre, S. D.. Nov. ACCORDING to
evidence brought to light in a recen,
research there are nc legally estab-
fshed outlines for Dewey county,
which was established under the Yes
sey administration two years ago.
The original measure establishing
Rusk county, to which Dewey is TIE
successor in name, provides the fol-
lowing outlines: Beginning at the
point on the Missouri river where the
same is intersected by the sixth stand
ard parallel. thence west to its inter-
section with the 18th guide meridian,
thence south on said guide meridian to
h fourth standard parallel, thence
east on said last parallel to the Mis-
souri, river, and thence up the channel
OF said river to the place of starting"
The mixup is due to the fact that the
fourth and sixth standard parallels and
the 18th guide meridtans, used IN this
description, eve were established in
the territory affected.
AT thet time Rusk county was created
there was no survey west OF the Mis-
souri, river and the legislators assumed
that the same system OF standard par
allels n guides prevailing east of the
other side. However. the discovery
Of gold led to a demand for an early
survey Of the Black Hills region and
an Independent base and guide was es.
tablished out there. Later the Black
Hills survey was extended to all points
west Of the Missouri.
Dewey county came onto the map
merely as a change in the name Of
Rusk county, with some of the territory
being clipped off to establish Corson
county. It is now discovered that there
is no legal definition of Dewey county
and no manner in which such boun-
daries can be determined as a question
of fact.

RICHARDS MAKES REPLY
TO BYRNE SHOWING

Huron, S. D.. Nov. 1.-R. o. Rich
ards has issued a reply to the recent
criticism of Governor Byrne, in which
he insists that the figures given out
by him in relation to state expense
are official and accurate. He denies
h governors assertion that the COM
pilation was made with deliberate in
tention to deceive and comfort.
Taking up each item of his original
circular, he submits a specific query
as to h accuracy of each item listed.
The burden of his effort is to make
a showing hat the low tax levy made
will no cover expenses and that it
will be necessary to Issue emergency
warrants.
Governor Byrne declared that the
/ mill levy will care for the state
financial condition for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1914, and that the
same levy will be adequate for the
fiscal yea ending June 80, 1915.
Mr.. Richards ignores the fact the
governor has little or anything to do
with the question of creating state
expenses, al every dollar in that line
is directly due to legislative appro-
p%riations. Further, he is dealing with
affairs prior to the Byrne administra-
ton. which did not commence until
last January.
