COUNTIES TO FURNISH
ALL ROAD MATERIALS
Commission Inquiry Shows 40
Counties Prepared to Do !.
Own Road Work.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 22-To promote
good roads. the highway commission
has made inquiries of the various coun-
ties Of the state asking what material
they had which would be suitable for
road use. The result of the inquiry
shows much material throughout the
state.
Forty-nine counties reported gravel
pits within their borders, enough for
The whole state.'
The recommendation of the COM
mission is that where practicable, the
county commissioners should either
lease or buy sufficient gravel pits to
supply such counties with gravel for
fears to come. Thirty-two counties re-
ported an abundance Of crushed rock.
Several crushers are at work.
The banner counties are listed show
Ing the total county road fund, county
bridge fund. automobile license, poll
tax, n levy by organized townships
for all kinds Of road work, n among
Them are Minnehaha, Sanborn, Yank-
ton, Charles Mix, Lincoln, Hutchinson,
Bon Homme, Lawrence, Beadle, Moody,
Brown, Turner, Roberts, Brookings,
Sphinx, Union, Butte. McCook, Day and
Clark.
All counties show $50. 900 and over for
this purpose for levies.

SOUTH DAKOTA TO
GET TIMBER PATENTS
Secretary Lane Makes Decision
Benefitting Black Hills
Forest Section.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 20-Secre-
cent decision Of the supreme court he
has authority to approve for patenting
the forest reserve lieu and selections
in South Dakota, thus ending the un-
certainty which has existed for the
past our years with relations to the
land now embraced in the South Da-
kota state forest and game preserve,
which was taken in lieu OF common
school Lane sections 16 and SO in the
Black Hills and the Harvey national
FOREST.
About $4,000 acres of timber land Is
involved in this decision. The land
was selected under an agreement be-
Tween the forest service and h COM
missioner Of school and public lands OF
South Dakota. The state has been In
possession Of the land and has been
operating 1t as a forest reserve and
game preserve, but recently the federal
forest service questioned the states
right to make a sale of Is, 600, 600 feet
of timber to the Warren Lumber COM
pany at Rapid City.
: G. T. Lamb and G. c. Warren, of the
lumber company, accompanied by thei
counsel, Judge Levi MCGEE, of Rapid
City, came 10 washington u lew udsS
ago and took up the case with both the
forest reserve and the interior depart
ment officials, in company with Sena-
tor Sterling and Congressman Candy.
Today's decision gives assurance that
patents for the land will issue to the
state in the near future. This insures
the permanency Of the South Dakota
forest and game preserve and will
benefit the common school funds In
South Dakota by permitting the con-
summation Of the sale OF timber.

PART OF DEERIN6 ESTATE
GOES TO SOUTH DAKOTA

Sioux Falls, s. D., Jan. 22-Circuit
Judge J. w. Jones decided in a case
In which the state of South Dakota
sued to collect inheritance tax from
the estate Of the late harvester manu-
facturer, william Deering. that notes.
bonds and mortgages are subject to in
heritance tax at the residence or the
debtor, and entered inheritance tax to
the amoun of nearly 100000 against
the estate.
william Deering died December 8,
1913, at Evanston, ILL.,, leaving an es-
tate Of nearly $4,000, 900. OF this
81, 500, 900 consisted Of South Dakota
notes, mortgages and municipal bonds.
Most Of the notes and mortgages were
given by South Dakota farmers.
At the death Of the elder DeerinG the
property went to the children and
grandchildren, some of whom reside
in New York and some in the Hawaiian
islands. The tax commission and the
attorney general of South Dakota
started proceedings to have the estate
taxed for inheritance tax and the
ty court Of Turner county entered
against it q tax Of $4,000.
In defending the case the benefici-
aries contended that the property was
not taxaole under South Dakota's in

IMPEACHMENT Of
MCGEE A PROBLEM
South Dakota House Has Its
Troubles Finding Way to
Gust Rapid City
JuriSt.

Pierre, s. d., Jan. 24-The house Of
representatives is beset by a problem.
There is a complaint before the body
asking for the impeachment Of Judge
Levi MCGEE, OF the Seventh judicial
circuit, and 1t IL up to the house to act
as a grand jury and determine whether
the case shall go to the senate for trial.
This is the first case OF its kind that
has ever come up in South Dakota.
There is no precedent.
The procedure, as outlined by the
constitution, liz summed W in the
words. The house Of representatives
shall have the sole power OF impeach-
ment. The concurrence of a majority
OF all members elected shall be neces-
6ary to an impeachment" How to go
Rt it, and provide n suitable and salts
factory precedent for all time to come,
is the problem that is facing the house
officers and leaders.
) 1t is probable that the case will come
up for its first review before h judi
ciary committee, the complaint having
been referred to that committee. They
will, in all likelihood, go over the evil
dence and examine at least some OF
the leading witnesses for the complain
pnt, and then return their findings to
the house with their recommendations.
Ut will then be expected that the body
as a whole consider the evidence n
decide whether or not there shall be an
Impeachment.
y Inasmuch as the constitution further
provides that mo person shall. be tried
on impeachment before he shall have
been served with a copy thereof at
least 20 days previous to the day set
for trial." it will be necessary for the
house to take action soon, as it does
not again until the 22nd day
which Is tomorrow.
Allowing for the possible 20 days
needed, Is days are left for considera-
tion OF the matter by the house.
