c. M. LAMSON DIED AT HAR.
GEMS HOSPITAL SUNDAY
FUNERAL HELD MONDAY
HAS BEEN A RESIDENT OF THIS
COUNTY SINCE 'S7--CONDUCTED
CATTLE RANCH FOR YEARS

y. M. Lamson. one of the early resi-.
dents of this county, died Sunday
morning at the Hargens hospital at
1880 q. m. after an illness covering a
period of several months, old age and a
general break down being the cause of
his death.
Charles Marshall Lamson was born
in New York in 1850 and died at Hot
Springs, March 2Sth, 1915. aged sixty
five years. Mr.. Lamson comes of one
of the wealthy New York families and
during his early life was quite figure
in financial circles of that city. The
western fever caused him to come to
South Dakota as early as 1883 for q
short time and from here he continued
on to Cheyenne, where he entered the
employ as we'll as becoming financially
Interested in the Anelo-American Cat
tie Company headed by Harry Oelriche,
another New Yorker
In 1887 he came to Oelriohs as super
intendent of the company above named
and later bought the Bar T. ranch of
that company where he has since re-
sided. For years he was one of the
largest cattle operators in Fall River
county, in fact in western South Da-
kota. OF late years his health
caused him to retire from active busi-
ness but he has continued to make his
home on the old ranch until last No
| vember when he came to this city for
treatment but has been gradually fail
ing until the end came.
Mr.. Lamson WAS big hearted, gen
erous man who could always be count
ed on to assist any one in distress, a
man whose friendship was worth hav-
ing and not few men in this county
today owe their success to his gene
rosity and advice.
With him at the time of his death
were his adopted daughter. Mrs. II. H.
Snyder, Of Arpan, this state. and Joe
Lamson, of Ardmore, cousin.
Funeral services we're conducted

WILL APPLY TO STANDING ROCK
Department Will Make Advance Designation
Under This Plan

Washington, d. G., April End: Owing
to the fact that complaints have come
to Senator Sterling that applications
under the 32O acres homestead act have
not been accepted at the land offices in
a number Of cases in South Dakota the
situation has been taken up with the
commissioner, who has sent out in
structions to land offices to accept ap-
plioations for designations Of land.
Senator Sterling is advised that the
320 acre law will apply to part of the
Standing Rock land, which is soon to
be opened and probably to the Chey-
enne lands. Such lands will be des-
ignated in advance Of application and
mapped.
The general land office gives notice
that its designations of reservation
lands will include all lands subject to
800 acre entry under the law and that
nothing will be gained by seeking to
have other land designated in the In.
dian land which is to be thrown open.

BATCHELoR GIRL SAYINGS

Marriage is the miracle that trans
forms woman from an "inspiration'
into "dispensstion."
Sometimes the reasons for which
people divorce are almost as absurd
and irrational as the reasons for which
they marry.
When woman dies we speak of how
many virtues she had; when man dies
we speak of how few sins he had-and
let it go at that.
Before marriage, man spends most
of his time in divising ways of taking
his hnancee out; after marriage, in de-
vising ways of taking her in.
Satan himself could no doubt make
any woman love him, il he took the
trouble to convince her that it was
"her beauty that drove him to Hsdes.'

WILL DIVERT WESTERN TRAFFIC
FROM LINCOLN HIGHWAY
IT Will Be MARKED
GOOD ROADS MEETING At DEADWOOD
RECENTLY DISCUSSED PLANS
FOR PROPERLY MARKING

Probably not in the history Of South
Dakota has q more enthusiastic or
more effective good roads meeting been
held than that which occurred recently
at the Deadwood Business club. The
meeting which was free from dissent.
ion so common to conflicting road in
terests, resulted In laying out route
from Boone, lowe, to the Black Hills
and then through the Hills south and
west to Cheyenne. The purpose is to
divert the western traffic on the we'll
known Lincoln Highway to the Black
Hills from the connection at Boone
and then put it back on that highway
again at Cheyenne Pledges were &C.
cured at the meeting to insure the
marking of the highway throughout
late this spring and the road that thus
came into being was officially named
.The Black Hills Loop of the Lincoln
Highway"
The unanimity Of opinion both az to
the necessity for such a highway and
to have it marked this spring, and as to
the route most practicable. was re-
m .rkable. Delegates from Sioux Falls,
Mitchell, Rapid City. sturgis, Lead,
Deadwood, Sheridan, Wyomin
Hill City, Custer, Hot Springs, and
Edgemont, worked in harmony while
even Wasta aud Quinn, both Of which
are on different route, sent delegates
to learn how the thing was done.
The route selected starts on the
Lincoln Highway at Boone, lowe, and
goes north via Fl. Dodge, and Spirit
Lake, over into Sioux Falls, where It
meets the Scenic Highway. From here
1t goes due west through Mitchell,
Chamberlain, Murdo, Kadoka into
Rapid, thence on the Black and Yellow
Trail into Deadwood, thence by way Of
Central through Lead, then down to
Pluma, south through the heart of the
Hills to Hill City, Sylvan Lake, Custer,
hot Springs, Wind Gave, Edgemont,
Ardmore, Harrison, Wyoming, Lusk,
Guernsey. Wheatlsnd, and into Chey-
enne. A uniform system of marking
was adopted for the route which will
be used in addition to the marking al
ready found in places on the route and
iron posts are to be used in place of
wood as being more substantial.
