south DAKOTA TO
GET timber PATENTS
Secretary Lane Makes Decision
Benefitting Black Hills
Forest Section.

Washington, ID. c.. Jan. 20-Secre-
tary Lane has decided that under a re-
cent decision of the supreme court he
has authority to approve for %patenting
the forest reserve lieu lam selections
in South Dakota, nus ending the UNI
certainty which has existed for the
past four years with relations to the
land now embraced in the South Da-
Eota state forest and game preserve,
which was taken in lieu of common
school land sections is and 36 in the
Black Hills and h Harvey national
forest.
About $4,000 acres of timber land is
involved i'm this decision. The land
was selected under an agreement be-
tween the forest ervice and the com
missioner of school and public lands of
South Dakota. The state has been in
possession of h land and has been
operating it as a forest reserve n
game preserve, but recently the federal
forest service questioned the states
right to maSe a sale of %, 000. 900 feet
Of timber to the Warren Lumber COM
pany at Rapid City.
G.. L. Lamb n C.. c.. Warren, OF the
lumber company, accompanied by their
counsel, Judge Levi MCGEE, Of Rapid
City, came to Washington a few days
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 win
benefit the common school funds in
South Dakota by permitting the con-
summation of the sale of timber.

PART OF DEEaiNG ESTATE
GOES TO SOUTH DAKOTA

Sioux Falls, s. D.. an. 22-Circuit
Judge j. w. Jones decided in Il 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.
and mortgages are subject to in
neritance tax at the residence of the
debtor, and entered inheritance tax to
the amount of nearly $780, 900 against
the estate.
William Deering died December 9.
1913, at Evanston. ILL.,, leaving an es-
tate OF nearly $4,000, 900. OF this
s2,soO,o0o consisted of South Dakota
notes, mortgages and municipal bonds.
Most of the notes and mortgages We're
given by South Dakota armers
At the death of he elder Deering the
property went to the children and
grandchildren, some of whom reside
in New York and some in the Hawaiian
islands. The taN commission and the
attorney general of South Dakota
started proceedings to have the estate
taxed for inheritance tax and the coun-
ty court of Turner county entered
against it a tax of $4,000.
In defending the case the benefici-
aries contended that the property was
not taNa3lc under South Dakota's in
heritance tax Jaw because the property
was not in tho state of South Dakota,
all of the notes, bonds and mortgages
having been kept at Evanston, Ill.,,
where the inheritance tax had been
levied.
