LAND OPPORTUNITY.

Uncle Sam has recently made avail
able for homestead entry what is Of
ficially known as the Fourth Unit of the
-Fourche irrigation project III
South Dakota. From time to time for the
past several years small areas have
been opened to the public in this Sec
tion and already there is formed a
splendid agricultural community as a
nucleus for the development of the
entire project which will require
several months to complete. The pres
ent opening is therefore generally re-
garded as offering an excellent oppor-
tunity for the man who wishes to
exercise his homestead right and still
obtain desirable and productive
tract of land within a few miles of
towns where there are modern advan-
tages, such as schools, churches,
stores, telephone service and good
markets.
The crop returns on the Belle
Fourche project have been very good
and an encouraging feature of the
trend Of it's development is the in
crease in stock and the tendency tc
engage in hogs. Agricultural experts
have long pointed out the advantages
on this project for hog raising and
dairying. With recognized markets
for merehantable products and the
facilities for producing alfalfa of g
fine quality, the settlers seem to have
needed this advice and their splendid
results are now serving as an i'm
petus for further progress along
these lines. Persons who appreciat,
the desirability of engaging in alfalfa
culture, hogs and dairying can fine
nowhere in the West section whicl
will offer better facilities for specializ
ing along these lines of endeavor.
The Government announces that tn
land itself is free and can be obtain
ed only under the homestead law
Provision is made by the Reclama
tion Service for supplying water a
actual cost to each settler and afte
twenty years time he is given out
right a permanent water right,
That the better lands embrace
within the public domain are rapid
diminishing seems evident from
statement made relative to this an
other districts by Albert v. Leonar
Settlement Agent of the U. S. kt
clamation Service at Chicago, VIII
adds that "the Belle Fourche projec
should attract desirable element VIII
realize the necessity of securing Ian
as an economic permanency."

LOCAL BASE BALL.

The game last Sunday afternoon
at Athletic Park, between the Colored
Giants of Toledo and the Wauseon
team was a delight to local fans and
demonstrated the fact that the local
team nan play some ball. AS a con-
elusive bit evidence of this fact,
every man on the Wauseon team was
credited with a hit Sunday afternoon
and two of the members, Spade and
Stewart, made home run hits. Wau-
seon's battery consisted of Dull and
Myers; the Giants put over against
the Wauseon players Marshal and
Jones. Marshal the Giants pitcher
struck out nine but Dull went him
four better and struck out thirteen.
The score was IA to 9 in favor of
Wauseon and looked like this:

kond place in the City League win en-
deavor to put one over on the Wau-
seon team. The fact that last Sum
day this team PLAYED an 18 inning
