FOREST SERVICE WILL
RAISE GRAZING RATES
Government Announces Ad-
vance In Fees to Be Charged
In Black Hills District.

Pierre. S. D., Nov. 30.-The national
forest service has decided to increase
the grazing rates In the forest reserve
in the Black Hills after March /. 1917.
A statement says: AT the time the
grazing fees were first established they
were merely nominal and the present
increase Is an effort to have the rate
based more nearly on the value. Even
with h increased rates. there still re-
mains a bAg. difference between the
value OF the grazing and the charges
made"
The rates have been extremely low
to stockmen, and the forest service has
made a careful study of the rate mat
ter throughout the country. with par
ticular attention given to the present
rates charged for similar privileges on
private lands. The proposed rates for
the national forest lands will be about
two thirds OF the prevailing charge of
grazing privileges of similar character
on private lands.
The government, in making the raise
In rates. is following the fundamental
policy governing the administration of
national forests, in disposing of timber
and other under market
prices on a commercial basis. The graz
Ing. up to this decision, has, however.
been kept at so low q figure as not to
come under that policy.

MOVEMENT rs STARTED
TO INCREASE JUDGESHlPS

Pierre. S. d.. Dec. l.-something
has been heard here lately OF another
o to increase the number of jul
dicial circuits i'm the state. There are
now IL. and during the last session Of
the legislature in 1915, there was a
to get a readjustment of counties
and circuits to make new ones In the
Minnehaha circuit, No. 2. an effort was
made to have two judges to take care
of the work. but the constitutional
provisions along that line seemed to
make it unlawful and the idea was
abandoned. There was an effort to
divide that circuit and make two
from it.
This action will probably be tried
again at the next session. as will also
an endeavor to make two circuits out
of the one in which Codington county
is located. Increase in population, and
consequently increase in court work
in these two circuits make the work
heavy for n Judge. 1t takes a two
thirds vote of the legislature to create
a new judicial circuit, but as conditions
demand new circuits they have been
increased several times until now there
are IL districts.

GREGORY COUNTY SEAT
FIGHT TO HIGH COURT

Winner. s.. d., Dec. 2.-Fairtax lost
IN the first round of what evidently will;
be prolonged litigation in the attempt
OF Fairfax to retain the county seat Of
Gregory county.
AT the .recent election the town of
Burke secured a sufficient number of
votes to capture the county seat from
FAIRFAX, but the residents of Fairfax
nave raised the question as to whether
or not Fairfax was the temporary or
permanent county seat, an early court
decision having been to the effect that
1t was the permanent county seat.
In a hearing just held the attorneys
representing Burke argued that a de-
cision rendered by the state supreme
court in 1908. to the effect that Fair
fax was the temporary county seat,
settled the present matter and entitled
Burke to the county seat, in accordance
with the vote cast at the election on
November Z.
After hearing the and ex-
amining the evidence and u deci-
Hions, Judge Williamson, of the state
circuit court. who presided at the hear
lns:. rendered a decision holding that
Fairfax at thu. time of the election in
November was the temporary, and not
the permanent, county seat.
The residents of Fairfax immediately
served notice of an appeal and applied
for g restraining order preventing the
county commissioners or the county
officers from moving the county rec
orGs from Fairfax to Burke, pending
n decision by the state supreme court
nn he appeal they have announced
they will take from the decision of
Judge Williamson.
The attorneys for Burke will endeay-
