INVESTIGATES LAND OFFICES

o. w. LANCE, assistant attorney for
the interior department, is at Rapid
City to investigate the work of special
agents of the land Office with reference
TO a system of espionage, which it is
alleged has grown up and works a det-
riment to homesteaders in proving up
on land in western South Dakota.
Another matter which will come
under the investigation of Attorney
Lange, is the Chamberlain-Gregory
Carter land office muddle. This is a
sectional quarrel which has grown up
in political circles and has become so
fervent that the land department at
Washington will adjust it on the report
Of a statement of facts as presented By
Attorney LANCE upon his return to
Washington.
Shortly before releasing the reins of
the executive office of president, Mr..
Taft consolidated the Chamberlain
and Gregory land offices and removed
them to Carter. When President vii.
son took up the reins of government,
he revoked the Taft order and reap
pointed the district, attaching a part
of the Pierre office and a part to the
Gregory office. This arrangement is
fully as unsatisfactory as was Taft's
attempt to please the people and At,
torney Lange will now attempt to adj
just it.
The investigation by Attorney LANCE
grows out of a memorial to congress
by the South Dakota legislature, which
in part follows:
There has grown up in the practice
Of the general land Office of the federal
government a system of espionage that
works extreme hardship on many of
our settlers upon homestead lands,
and, this espionage permits the most
serious abuse of the recommendation
power held by the inspectors of the
general land office.
There has come under the notice of
many of our citizens cases in which
some men who had selfish purposes to
serve in getting rid of some home
Steader who stood in their way, and by
entering protest to the final proof of
settlers who were honestly trying to
make a good effort at establishing
themselves upon new farms, have
brought hardship and needless eX-
pense upon the settlers thus protested.
1--WE believe that the long delays in
securing patents to lands that have
been homesteaded have caused, and in
some cases, large losses TO the state in
tax revenue.
The uncertainty of obtaining title
to homestead lands has caused this
land to be deemed a fi~uctuating secur.
ity, and rates of interest to be high
and loans small, thus hampering the
legitimate growth of the state"

Trade Trips Educational,

George Orde of the Minneapolis
First National bank said the trade
trips are al education to bankers. The
Dakotas, Montana and Minnesota are
Minneapolis trade territory and the
welfare of the states and city are COM
mon. He said that bankers are inter-
esting themselves in diversified farm
ing. The bank of North Dakota a
year ago owed Minneapolis banks $4.-
600, 900, he declared, and not a dollar
being done now by the North Dakota
banks than ever, due partly to diversi-
fed farming.
Rev. G.. N. Kenaston, minister, farm
err and deputy oil inspector, character
lied his fellow townsmen speakers in
a humorous vein. He said Minneapo-
lis grows pepper, wind and water pow
er Inc elaborated the idea. He said it
means much to Hettinger whether Min
neapolis makes good or not. His ad-
dress was the hit of the evening, TEEN

sarcasm.
