 The first acts of the new governor will be to abolish the pest-holes of prisons that are here. Among the first of these to go will be the San Juan fortress Ulloa, where prisoners are kept in dungeons which are relics of dark ages.
 Sanitary conditions in this prison are said to be frightful. The prison- CTS are to be transferred to the city.
 The Americans intend to make the Mexicans realize that they are their friends, and every effort will be made to conciliate and help them.
 The money-changing system is to be changed at once. Many merchants now give unfair change, and if it is necessary the new regime will estab- fish state banks as the powers of the proclamation authorize.
 Governor Kerr says there will be no politics in his regime and his policy will be fair play for every one. He talked over his plans with Admiral Fletcher today, and the admiral ap- proved. General Funston also agreed to pursue Fletcher's policy in regard to the civil government.

GRUESOME GOLF
 LINKS IN CHINA
Course Laid Out in Immense Graveyard, and It's a Good
 One, Says Army Officer.

New York, April 29.-The most sruesome golf links in the world are in Tienstin, China, where course Is laid ou. in an immense graveyard.
 And it's a mighty good course, too, declares Major Palmer E. Pierce U. s. A., who returned recently from tY,o years infantry service in China. "The grave mounds serve as bunkers, the course is pretty level all the way around, and some mighty good scores are turned in.
 "The custom in China is to place the collins just below the surface of the ground: and form the dirt that was dug out of the grave into mound on the top of the coffin. These grave mounds count as bunkers on this course, and because there are bunkers everywhere around the IS hole course, it takes some mighty fine playing to get good score
 Very of ten during the course of a game some burials take place. Of course, in such cases, the golfers try to keep their balls away from the funeral party, but occasionally a player gets poor drive and the ball bounds into an open grave. In cases where the ball- falls into the grave it may be taken out without penalty
 The greens are constructed between graves, and they are as fine as on any course in America and England.
 The caddyi1g charge is. , cents for eighteen holes, and nearly every day there are numerous fights among hordes of Chinesc boys for the cad dying privilege. Tl.a boys have learn ed the caddying business, and are just about as good at it as the American boys.

COUNTY DIVISION
WAR FOR BILLINGS
Southwestern Townships
Wage Secession
Campaign.

Medora, y. D., March 12.-Bnlings
IS slated for another bitter county di-
vision contest. The advocates Of Slope
county are planning a series of meet
ings in southwestern Billings to create
sentiment favoring a renewal of the
campaign.
-Four years s there were two
propositions to divide Billings county,
n for creating Golden Valley county.
and another for slope county. Both
received Il majority OF the votes cast
but the commissioners declared each
proposition lost. The people of Gold
en- Valley carried their fight into the
supreme court and o Those in
slope county let the matter go by de-
fault and will be compelled to make
the fight again without the Corpora
ton OF Golden Valley.
There are two features initiating
against the organization of Slope
county the fear of increased taxes and
the jealousy over the location of the
county sea The fear Of higher taxes
is natural, as the settlers believe it will
cost half the residents of the county
more to conduct tho affairs than all of
them would have to pay. Amidon and
Dc Sart. two inland towns. each want
lhc ouut!tSeae NldTIIldFtu. the only
town in the proposed county With a
railroad. also is seeking that honor.
There is a bitter rivalry over the mat
ter and unless this is smoothed over
it will he a difficult proposition to
s%egregate Slope from Billings county.
Residents Of the old Billings will OPP
pose n further division. With Slope
cut off what remains after the crea-
ton of Golden Valley county, there
will not be a. large area and Billings
would then probably be forced to seek
Il. tier Of townships OFF the western
side of Stark county, as this territory
is more tributary to Medora than to
Dickinson.
