Can't Find Relatives.

Topbar.-The authorities of Stanley
county have been unable to ascertain
the whereabouts of the parents or
other relatives Of Martin j. Chilstad,
a homesteader about 3S years Of age,
who died suddenly in his bachelor
apartments on his homestead as the
result of an attack of heart failure.
He was a Christian Scientist, and ey-
erything indicated that he had been
reading a bible of that faith just prior
to passing away. Death came appar-
emily without warning, for only a
short time before his body was found
in his lonely home he had visited the
home of a naighbor and appeared as
we'll as usual. Although a careful
search of the house was made no let
ters or documents were found which
would show where his parents or rela-
tives reside. Photographs found in
his trunk show that he had worked
as a machinist at some time prior to
coming to Stanley county and locating
upon a homestead. If his nearest Of
kin can be found they will be able. un-
der the federal land laws, TO complete
his residence on the homestead and
in due time perfect title to it. If they
are not found the land viii revert TO
the government.

Dakota Fight Is Settled.

Washington, ID. C.-President Taft
has signed an order which, in effect.
abolishes the United States land of
fees at Chamberlain and Gregory and
establishes a new land district with
headquarters at Carter, in Trip
county. The order was prepared by
Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of the in
terror, and was in three parts, as fol-
lows:
!. The discontinuance of the Cham
berlain land office and attaching its
territory to the Gregory land office
district.
2. Attaching hat part of the Cham
berlain district lying north of the
White river and west of the Missouri
to the Pierre district.
3. The removal of the Gregory land
office to Carter.
The issuance of this executive order
is a crushing defeat for Senator Craw-
ford in his fight against any change
in the land Offices of South Dakota.
He had told the interior department
that Carter was no better than a dug
out. was II miles across the burning
prairie from a railroad. and its popu,
lation was less than ten people, nearly
all of whom were half breeds. Pic
lures of a brick building, a good sized
hotel. stores and residences now at
Carter, were shown to the department
and the secretary admitted they dis
proved the senator's assertions. They
at least caused a r%eopening OF the
| case in which Crawford had won a
temporary victory.

Fiqht Over Saloons.

Sioux Falls.-A number of cities
and towns of the state will witness
hot license fights at the municipal
elections in April, but nowhere will
the fight be hotter than at C~enterville,
where at the election last year the
vote was in favor of license, but a
faulty ballot rendered the election IL
legal when the matter was carried TO
the supreme court. Pending the adj
justmnt by the courts of the contest
the saloons were permitted to run,
but when the contest case finally was
determined about November l last, the
saloons were compelled to close. 1t
is pointed out by the drys that there
has been little drunkenness in the
town since that time. and they will
make their battle to have license de
feated at the April election. The vets
