Simpson For consre..

Leslie Simpson of Dickinson, has
been in Bismarck for several days,
comforting with his friends. 1t is
expected that he will announce
himself within the next few weeks
as republican candidate for congress
against Norton, whom he has op-
posed twice. The Dickinson attor-
ncy is very reticent over the affair,
but those close to him assert posi-
lively that he will make the run.
He has received many new promis-
es of support. Staale Hendrickson
of Coteau, will be one of Simpsons
strong hackers in the northern part
of the district. He contemplated
running himself. but will rot make
the race if Mr.. Simpson decides to
enter the field.-Bislnarck Tribune.

Stiles Bring Steers
From Across River
Necessary to Ship by Way of Bismarck
to Get Cattle across Missouri River.
Cattle Wintered Fine

j. A. Stiles went to Bismarck
last week and from there to Linton,
from which point he shipped 175
steers to Cannonball by railroad,
and from where they were taken to
the Stiles Cattle Company ranch
northwest of Fort Yates Monday.
The steers were taken over the river
last fall and wintered at Mr.. Stiles
Emmons county ranch. On ac-
count of the early breakup of the
river it was necessary to ship them
by the way Of Bismarck by rail in
order to reach this side.
The company now have all their
cattle on this side of the river ex-
cept 600 ycarling calves which they
are feeding at the Bader place on
the cast side of the river. Despite
the severe weather the 5000 head of
cattle owned by the company came
through the winter in fine shape
with practically no loss, except a
few CALVES among which all epidemic
of black]eg broke out.
Mr.. Stiles expects to ship in 1000
or 5000 head more this spring as
soon as the grazing is good, and the
will probably have the
largest herd Of cattle in the state.
Their lease on the reservation in
cludes about 20 sections and requir-
es over 40 miles of fence.

Indian Trib.l Council

A business meeting of the tribal
council of the Standing Rock rcser-
vation, was held at the Indian court
rooms at Fort Yates Tuesday. II
out of 20 delegates from the various
districts of the reservation in North
and South Dakota, were present.
Among other matters taken up
was the recommendation that cer-
tain tribal land be allotted for church
purposes. The report of Antoine
De Rockbraine of Bullhead, who
recently returned from Washington,
where he went as delegate from
the reservation to lay certain mat
ters of vital importance to the In
dams before the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs and Congress, was
also heard.

While there is little probability at
this time that there will be a call
for volunteers for Mexican service,
yet the Indians are to be commend
ed for their expression of patriotism,
and willingness to help defend their
country should occasion arise.
1t is understood that there is a

Election Returns In

In the table below is given the
vote by precincts in Sioux county
for president and national commit
teemen, at the presidential prefer
encc primary held Tuesday, last
week. In the table published last
week the vote from Solen was mis-
sing. 1t will be seen that the
strength of LaFollette and Wilson
is the same, while the vote for East
abrook indicates the republican
majority. Owing to the light vote
cast the result of the election is of
little value on which to base any
political predictions. II it is an in
dication of the relative strength in
the northern and western sections
of the county, it foreshadows the
defeat of any county seat removal
proposition by a decisive vote.

Bad Weather Hurt
Land SaleSaturday
Bids on ID Tracts Received at Indian
Land Sale at Fort Yates Saturday.
Next Ssle on May 9Th

4 Bids on ii tracts Of land were
opened at the sale of Standing Rock
reservation Indian land held at Fort
Yates by Superintendent Coyey Sat-
urday. All the bids opened were
received by mail, and no interested
parties were present.
II The tracts bid on were scattered
all over the reservation in North
and South Dakota, and in most
cases brought q higher price than
the appraised value. Had the roads
been passable and the ground free
from snow, many more bids would
have been received.
There were many inquiries receiv-
ed by the superintendent regarding
the sale, and number of persons
who came out to look over the land
were forced to turn back on account
of the snow storm last Tuesday.
The next sale will be held May
9Th, and if the weather is favorable
and the roads in good condition for
travel about that time, the indica-
tions are that this sale will be the
best held yet. With land values
rapidly advancing and plenty of
money available for real estate loans,
it is expected that the vacant land
held by the Indians will soon pass
into possession of actual settlers.
The land listed for sale is among
the best on the reservation in the
two states. When allotments were

member a quarter As many Of the

turned over to the Indian for his

is used for buildings and improve
vments On the remaining land The
inherited land is sold in order to
divide the proceeds among the right
full heirs.
Each tract of land when listed for

less than the appraised value is con-
sidered. Terms are one-fourth

indicated in the list, the terms are
