Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1917-09-06

Sioux county is claiming atten-
tion this year on account Of its pro.
life hay crop. Parties are coming
here from all over the northern and
western part Of the state as we'll as
from South Dakota and Montana,
making contracts for hay and leas-
ing land for grazing. The failure
Of the hay crop other places is 60
ing to bring many new settlers who
are convinced that this section is
unsurpassed for stock raising.
With thousands of acres of the best
grazing and hay land in the west
laying idle for years, Sioux county
is finally coming into its own, and
next year will witness another large
influx of settlers who will buy or
lease land. In the meantime the
money received this fall from the sale
Of hay is going to help put the far
mers and stockmen of the county
into the prosperity class.
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1917-09-06

A new schedule Of prices for the
leasing Of Indian land on the
Standing Rock reservation became
effective the first of the month. The
new prices are: Grazing land II
cents per acre. Agricultural land:
Land valued up to 50 per acre, so
cents per acre; land valued from
50 to $3.50 per acre, Is cents per
acre; land valued from $3.50 up
per acre. 81 per. acre. Grazing
leases are made for a term Of three
years, and agricultural land is leas-
ed for term Of from three to five
years. Lessees are required to
fence grazing and farming leases,
and leave the fence on the land at
the expiration OF the lease. APP
plication for land under these new
terms are being received in great
numbers.

But few changes were made in
the personal property valuation for
Sioux county as equalized by the
county board and no changes were
made in the real estate valuations
by the state board of equalization.
The valuations of railroads were in
creased about so per cent by the
state board which will boost the
valuation OF Sioux county in the
neighborhood Of s15O,0O0, and
made the total assessed valuation Of
the county about 81, 200, 900, a very
substantial increase over last year.

TURN FROM SAVAGE TO SAINT
Wonderful Transformation Of Fiji
islanders, Which Are Soon TO Be
Visited by Roosevelt.

When Colonel Roosevelt pays his an
nounced visit to the FIJI islands in
February he win find the natives much
different from what they were only a
comparatively short time ago. Today
the Fiji Islanders are model citizens;
once they were the most abhOrrent
creatures known to civilization.
In his work. 'TfOw Christ Conquered
Fiji" Rev. d. L. Leonard tells us
something Of the Fijians of a genera
ton or two ago. He says:
physically and intellectually they
rank among the foremost in the South
seas, but before Christianity wrought
Its astounding miracles Of transforna-
ton they had no equals for brutality,
RIGHTEOUSNESS and utter disregard for
human life. The world over their name
was a synonym for all that is afro
cious, inhuman and demoniacal. 1t
was a part of their religion 10 be as
cruel a possible toward their enemies
and to slay them with nameless and
horrible torture was a positive de-
light.
"They had habit of massacring
all shipwrecked sailors or other
strange visitors to their shores. Few
Fiiians died a natural death or lived
to old age. for the feeble and the aged
we're esteemed worse than useless mem
bers of society and by artificial means
were FASTENED to their graves. In
fanticide was so common that two
thirds Of the children persisted at the
hands of their parents.
"When a chief built a house and
holes were dug for the posts man
was flung into each one to be buried
alive. When a war canoe was launched
living men were used for human roll
ers, and their bruised and torn bodies
were afterward roasted and eaten. HUI
man flesh was eaten by preference, as
well as from hatred Of their enemies
slain in battle. In one district the en-
tire population was kept to be de-
voured by their more powerful neigh
bors. A chief would send TO a neigh
Dor or ally n roasted victim carefully
wrapped and escorted by a procession.
After one war the victory was cele-
brated by cooking 100 human bodies
for a feast One chief set up stone
to commemorate each time he had
played the cannibal. and SO of these
tokens were counted by a missionary.
But the Fijians have since passed
under the mild yoke of Christianity
and the savage in them has yielded to
the .subduing influences of the Gospel
of mercy and peace.

Hard Water Good for Rheumatics.

Flei0 " aNCt OCCA W
That hard understanding a water
that contains two hundred parts in the
million or more of lime-is better than
soft or distilled water for drinking
purposes is asserted in the New York
Medical Journal by DIR. Frank Leslie
Rector of New York. It never con-
tains enough lime to do harm. but the
little it does contain is highly bene-
fetal to persons with n tendency TO
rheumatism, govt or hardening of the
arteries.
To get such a dose of lime rs a doc
tor would prescribe one would have to
drink six gallons of hard water in "a
hours. A common glassful of such
water contains about three-fourths of
a grain of lime.
It is an error to suppose, as many
do, that hard water causes rheuma-
tism. govt. kidney diseases and
arteriosclerosis. for these are the very
troubles that are cured by the waters
of such places as Kissingen. Nauheim
and Saratoga. the benefit of which is
in their alkaline content. and this is
principally lime.
