HUNGARY
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of Eat Good Old sIwnsh.7

HUNGARY IS a small patch OF
II ground in the dorsal region OF
= Il Europe which has been messing
up history with great success for 1000
years. Tt is the home of the celebrated
Nagyars, who burst into Europe with
great fury in the ninth century. and
nave held together closer than an ODD
Fellow lodge ever since.
There are only about 100000 of
these MaEyars, but in their fighting
days it usually took about five enc
mics to hold each one of them. They
defeated Germany, ruined Austria, de-
fled Russia, invaded Italy and threw
rocks at the Turks over the walls of
COnstantinople. Every one breathed
a sigh of relief when the Magyars quit
fighting and took up the tasks of self
government and the conquest of the
Magyar language, two things which
have kept thenf very busy for the last
so years
Hungary is bounded on the north
by siege guns, on the west by hOstil-
ity, on the east by danger. and on the
south by Servia and other forms of
dynamite. Politically, it is only about
as quiet and placid as a miners strike
in Colorado. There are eight prOmi-
nent natiOnaiities in Hungary, each Of
which would give a lot to be able to
boot the other seven out. In cOnse-
quence of this. the Hungarian parlia-
ueuL resembles an OLD fashioned new
York caucus just before the riot call
goes in, and Hungarian citizens in
search of peace have been emigrating
to the United States at the rate of $780,,
600 a year. To offset this a million
Russians have recently emigrated to
Hungary. through the Carpathians, but
not for the pursuit of agriculture and
the arts.
Hungary is as large as Kansas and
Iowa cOmbined. 1t has 100000 900 people,
or five times as many as these two
states. The Hungarians are simple,
quiet folk at home who dress in pas
siOnate colors on feast DAYS, and till
the soil in a sketchy and laborious

will put stop to peddling booze

Rights of Indians to Schooling.

Pierre The school rights of
an Indian child follow the rights
of the parents, is the holding of
the state legal department, on
the contention which has. arisen
in the Dewey and Ziebach coun-
ties. The 1913 legislative session
passed an act allowing Indians
the same school rights as whites
in any portion of the state which
was open to settlement. The
1915 session repealed this act, on
the plea of residents of counties
affected. on the allegation that it
placed a burden upon the white
residents. Now it is held that
under existing statutes the
children of any Indian who has
severed his tribal relations have
all the school privileges of white
children in the districts in which
they reside. This holding is
practically that the act of 1913
was not necessary to give Indian
children rights in public schools,
and that the repeal of the l91 )
session did not take away from
them amy of the rights which
they had outside of the privileges
given them under general laws
The children of the taNpaying
Indian are by this decision given
all the rights they have asked.
and the United States court has
held that any Indian who has
severed his tribal relation is
| liable to a tax on his personal
property, the right goes to prac
tically most of the Indian resi-
dents of the counties in the north
part Of the state where the com.
plant comes from.
1t is held that compensation
for census enumeration must bC
paid by the civil division in
which the work was done. al

ganization; if in an unorganizec
township, then by such town

ty. Since the enumeration worl
has been done many inquire!

they see it and rush forth to buv

Thinks 500 after G. N. Railroad.

Watertown-W With the state
ment by a Minneapolis paper
that the 500 line has purchased
the Paramount & Neblen rail
road, running from Fairmount
n. d., to Veblen, S. D., and south
and the persistent rumors in
many of the state papers of the
building of the Huron & North
eastern railroad from Huron to
Fergus Falls, it is the general
belief that the 500 may have
some connection with the latter
railroad.
In the proposed construction
of the line from Huron to Fergus
Falls, some see an attempt of
the 500 to invade the territory
of the Great Northern in South
Dakota, Huron being the south
ern terminus of the Benson Wa
tertown branch, while Nankton
is the southern end of the Will.

the purpose of the 500, it will

SURVEYING
FOR DRAINAGE
Surveyor Hartge Is Woking
on Big Proposition.

A. w. Hartge returned from
White Rock Monday where he has
spent the past two weeks survey
ing the proposed new drainage for
Lake Traverse. He is within a
few miles of Wahpeton, n. d., and
finds about p feet fall from White
Rock to that point To deepen
the run eight feet would be sul1ici-
ent to drain the greater part of the
low lands, which would mean
thousands of acres more through
out that section for HAY and Guilt
vatlon The proposition is being
taken up by North and South Da-
kota and Minnesota. An expendi-
ture of about S25,0O0 would be
necessary to complete the work.
The White Rock and Wheaton
Commercial Clubs are busy at
work on the project of dredging
the Bois de Sioux river from be
| low White Rock to fall where the
Rapid river empties into the
Bois de Sioux.
a. w. I1artge, surveyor OF
Roberts county, S, d., has just
about completed the survey. and
says the river could be easily
dredged, and thousands of acres
of good land (now under water
could be utilized. The hay lanC
between Fairmount and Whit,
Rock is practically all unde1
water and will probably be S,
for years to come if the river il
not dredged.
At the high price of land, it i
a shame to have so much tina
cannot and will not be of an,
use for years if steps are no
taken to have the water drained
off. The White Rock people ap
preciate the fact that if the

in this project that the thousand

will never be of any use othe
