Summary
 or THE w ar News


 Failure of the Russian attempt to invade Hungary was announc- ed today by the German war of fee The statement is made that the effort of the Russian army from Przenysl to force the Lupkow and East Dul1a Passes was not successful and that it's attack at several points along this front resulted in defeat with heavy losses. In consequence, it is said the attacking power of the Russians has lessened vistb- ly.
 Although official reports from Petrograd concede no such rev. ersea they indicate that the Rus sian advance has been brought virtually to a halt. The Rus sian war office says Slight pro- gress' was made near Uzsoks Pass and a counter attack at Koziowa by the Austro-G German forces failed. The German re- port, speaking of the Kpsowa fight, asserts that the Russians were repuIsed with large losses The Russian report makes no claim to further progress in the Carpathians. except at Uzok Pass
 Advices have been received in Rome from Salonilxi that the in- tervention in the war of Runna- mia appears to be imminent. It is said the Rumanian army is well equipped and ready for instant action.

Public Examiner Is
Pleased With Books
Robt. Beery Of State Public Examiner
Office Compliment County Officers
After Examining Records

Robert D Beery of the State Pub
lie Examiners office, who ha!
charge of the work Of checking the
records Of the various county officials
in the state, was here from Bismarck
Tuesday and Wednesday makingan
examination Of the books lii the
court house. To the Pioneer Mr..
Beery stated that Sioux county was
fortunate in having capable officials,
and that he found all the records
and papers in first class shape.
He especially complimented Auditor
Colville and Register of Deeds
Shields. The records in their offices
are very important and found well
kept throughout. As the first Off
GERS Of a county establish precedents
that will be followed by their sue
cessors, it is important that the Or
iginal records be correct and legible
He also complimented the commits
sioners for having kept down the
expenses. Mr.. Beery was the first
auditor in Hettinger county, and no
man in the state is better qualified
for the position he holds, which is
a very important one and throws
him into contact with all the county
officials of the state.

Church Fair sucee.,

The annual fair under the auspi-
ces of the Catholic church was held
Tuesday and Wednesday at the For
ester's hall. and drew a large atten-
dance. 1t was one of the most sue
cessful fairs ever held and the re-
ceipts amounted t. about s441.
The sum of $246 was netted for the
mission work carried on by Rev.
FIR. Bernard, and he wishes the
Pioneer to thank all who contribut-
ed to the success Of the fair. An
other pleasing feature to FIR. Ber-
nard was the presence of the many
persons Of other denominations,
which he says shows that there are
no lines along religious matters
drawn in Fort Yates.

Again. In Trouble

William Harrison, Standing
Rock Indiaa, who has been report
ed in trouble recently at various
places in South Dakota, at the term
of Federal court held ten days ago
at Sioux Falls, pleaded guilty to
impersonating federal officer, and
was sentenced to a term in Lcaven-
worth peni tentiary. The crime he
was charged with was that he re-
presented he had authority to sell
Indian lands on the Standing Rock
reservation. No person has the
right to offer Indian lands for sale
except the superintendent Of the
reservation, and then only in the
manner in which the Indian land
sales held at Fort Yates during the
summer have been conducted.
Where an Indian has patent in fee
to his allotment, he may sell at his
own discretion, the same as white
man.

|Carignan & Stiles
Firm Has Dissolved
J. M. Carignan Takes Over Store, and
Stiles the Ranch and Cattle.-Carig-
nan Pioneer Indian Trader

Wednesday evening a deal was
consumated whereby the firm OF Car.
igran d Stiles was dissolved. The
business will be continued by J. NJ.
Carignan under his own name, while
Mr.: Stiles will devote his entire time
to the management OF the Stiles
Cattle Company. In making the
deal Mr.. Carignan transferred his
cattle interests to his partner.
Mr.. Carignan is the Oldest resi-
dent Of Fort Yates, and as he has
been engaged in the general mercan-
tile line as licensed Indian trader
foriover 80 years, he needs no in
PRODUCTION to the readers of this
paper. Before engaging in business
in partnership with Mr.. Stiles he
was manager Of the w. H. Robin
son store, except for the time he
served as Indian Agent during Pres
ident Rooscvelt's administration.
The Carignan store is the largest
mercantile establishment in Sioux
county, and in the past has enjoyed
a very prosperous business. That
Mr.: Carignan will continue to re-
ceiye merited patronage goes with
out. saying, and the Pioneer joins
witt, his many friends in wishing
him success.
Associated with Mr.. Carignan
will be his son, Jack Jr., who is
familiar with every detail Of the
business.

Fact. About Skunk.

The old saying: ''There is moth
ing in name," cannot be applied
to the American skunk. Nothing
but the name has practically pre-
hibited the sale of skunk in Ameri-
ca Tor many years. The Europeans
appreciated the beauty of this silk
like fur, as well as its superior
wearing qualities. The name meant
nothing to them. In past years 80
per cent. of the entire collection Of
American skunk pelts were shipped
to the great fur centers OF Europe.
Tnnesmarket I Naluesof the skins was
made at the four London auction
sales of furs in January, March,
June and October of each year.
The size of the collection and the
demand of fashion regulated the
price. A. B. Shubert, Inc, the
largest house in the world dealing
in raw furs, Chicago, who have been
in the export business for more than
a third Of a century, has seen the
price of skunk go as low as fifty
cents and as high as three dollars
and fifty cents for an average co.,
lection of mid-winter caught skins
coming from the states Of Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan
and similar sections.
Mr.. Shubert states that it was a
great surprise to the collectors Of
raw furs the remarkable way the
American people are now absorbing
the collection of skunk. For the
first time in the history OF the
American raw fur business, our
American manufacturers were able
to sell this article in quantities. A
tremendous quantity Of skunk
pelts was cut in trimming for ladies
garments and much more into
muffs and scarfs. The article seems
to be the leader Of fashion in fur, it
can be safely said that skunk will
be no less popular in the coming
season. If the demand should con-
tinue and is equal to the supply, we
will see higher price for skunk
this coming season than was ever
known and with an early ending of
the war in Europe, a much higher
price will be obtained. 1t is in
the cards", but we must not forget
the fact that the fur game is not a 1
child's play. Its gamble.

More Dairy Cows
For Indian Schools

More Shorthorn Dairy-type Cow.
For Indian School Herds

Superintendent c. c. Covey oI
the Fort Yates Agency, left the first
of the week for independence and
Fairfield, Iowa, and Lake Andes,
South Dakota, for the purpose Of
looking over the herds OF breeders
Of Shorthorn cattle, with the view
of buying 45 head of high grade
shorthorn COWS of the dairy type
for the Indian boarding and day
schools.
Earlier in the spring he bought
a number OF COWS of .Ae same breed
and type in Minnesota, and also
some pure-blood bulls. This herd
is said to be the best OF its kind in
this part Of the country, and with
the additional COWS the Indian
schools on the reservation will have
fine dairy cows.
1t is understood that Mr.. Covey
was also figuring on building silo
at the Fort Yates and Farm school,
but at this writing it cannot be stat
ed authoratively.

Are Indian. Exempt?

Several rulings have been made
upon the question Of taxation ol
Indian personal property, it be-
ing held that such property, except
such held as government trust pro.
perty, is subject to taxation A re.
cent opinion signed by B Sweeney,
Assistant Secretary of Interior holds
to the contrary. This would be
effective on the Standing Rock re-
servation as well as the Cheyenne
RIVER reservation referred to in the
opinion which reads as follows:
The Cheyenne River Sioux In
dians have q tribal organization,
and are therefore subject to the ex-
elusive jurisdiction of the United
States. Therefore not only at the
time issue property or the increase
thereof, not subject to taxation, but
I! all personal property belonging to
Indians, they being the wards Of
the government and sustaining trib-
al relations, is not subject to taxa
tion.
The enabling act of February %,
1889, and the constitution adopted
by the state Of South Dakota, pro-
vide that all lands within the state
owned or held by Indian tribes shall
remain under the absolute control
and jurisdiction Of congress Of the
United States. And the act of
May 8, 1906, under which the large
number of Indians on the Cheyenne
River reservation were allotted, pro-
vides that until the issuance Of fee
simple patent all allottees to whom
trust patents shall hereafter be is
sued shall be subject to the exclu-
sive jurisdiction Of the United States.
Under this ruling, which places
all personal property Of an allotment
holder outside Of local taxation un-
til fee simple is granted, by author
ity on Indian affairs to mean that
an allotment holder, even though
he makes no attempt to live upon
the reservation and is transacting
business Of any character, is exempt
from taxation upon his property
until the end OF the allotment term
of twenty five years when he is to
receive fee simple to his land and
become a citizen subject to the same
duties as any other citizen.

Reservation Roads
May Lead Ii, State
Reservation Road From Fort Yates to
Connect With Yellow Trail Will
be Among Best in the State

One of the best roads in North
Dakota is being graded from Fort
Yates south to the state line to con-
meet with the Yellowstone trail.
All the work has been done by In
dams under the supervision of Sup
erintendent Covcy, and the cost is
met out of the appropriation for In
dian labor on the, Standing Rock
reservation. About 40 teams and
men are now at work with the road
grader, fresnos and scrapers, and
substantial progress is being made
each day. At the present writing
the road is practically finished to
Four Mile creek south of Fort Yates
where steel and concrete bridge
has just been completed by the
county. There was big fill to be
made at the approaches to the bridge
and in order5that the fill would not
wash away during the spring freshets
rip-rapping was resorted to. This
is the first systematic road work
ever undertaken on the reservation,
and both the Indians and officials
in charge are to be complimented
on the intelligent manner il which
this work has been undertaken and
is being carried out. If Mr.. Covey
is retained as superintendent of this
reservation three or four years and
allowed to carry out his present
plans, there will be better roads here
than any other part in The state.
