Of New Bills introduced.

of New Bills Introduced.
Pierre.-The Minnehaha county del
egation in the last legislative session
showed hat they wanted legislation
along many lines, as the record indi-
county started Sd bills along the way;
while the five house members came
along with 60 different measures.
these figures not including several
joint resolutions which they presented.
Senator Cone led the whole list Of
membership of either house with 80
bills, and Representative Christopher
son was second with q. The only
other member who got anywhere near
their record was Senator Norbeck Of
Sphinx, who started 90 bills on the leg
islative road. Bartine, Lange and
Russell in the senate each shows up
with 10 bills, as does Representative
Mcfarland in the house. In strong
comparison with the Minnehaha coun-
ty list, is the Lawrence county delega-
ton with one bill in the senate, and 26
in the house, with practically the
same representation as Minnehaha.
Every member Of the senate has a
record of this except May of Lawrence
who did not appear to feel the need of
any new laws. The record apparent
ly shows a number of house members
who thought the state could get along
without n new measures on their
part, the list on that body with no
bills to their credit being Clapp, Harri-
son, Jersey, Jurgenson, Kelsey, Nell
son of Roberts, Nixon, Stoddard of
Grant, Scott and Ziebach. Scott had
his name placed on three measures
which also contained the names Of
all the other Brown county house
members as joint introducers. Incl
dentally it might be pertinent to say
that the few members who each pre-
sented and stuck to one lone bill were
successful in getting their measures en-
acted.

Deadwood.-A decision of much in

held, which overruled the original de.
land office in favor of the plaintiff and
upholds the general land office.
Ortiz filed a d~eclaratory statement
for the and on July "a, 1909, alleging
possession and actual opening and
improvement of the coal mine. Two
days later Miss Wray filed an applica-
ton to purchase the land, claiming
that when she examined it just pre-
viously it was deserted and the tim
bers had fallen in, although for some
years the land had been worked for
coal by different parties, Orth among
them.
In his decision the secretary held
that actual possession at the time OF
filing must be shown, and defined what
constituted possession, int also real
improvement must be shown. The tes-
timony in the case showed that Orth
had filed his statement two days after
a former owners statement had ex-
PRED, which lapse proved fatal to his
possession of the coal land.
