jj Trade rep&rts are more Irregular,, chiefly be
cause of-the' vagaries of the weather. At some
'y points results are all that could be desired, the
new year starting with much heavier transac
lv tions than in 1805, but high temperature and ex-
i' cesslve* rains In other localities retard retail
distribution of winter goods, and it is becoming
necessary to reduco'stouks by' clearauqe salts.
Nothing disturbs the Vigorous .preparations for
spring business, which promises to make a most
gratifying exhibit. Open weather is facilitating
outdoor work, building, operations progressing
at an unprecedented pace for the season.and the
Construction News reports permits issued iu
1905 to a value of 1528,186,412. which is 40 per
cent in excess of the preceding year. Official re
turns of foreign commerce also tell of a new
lecord established last year, the total for Decem
ber exports alone rising about $25,000,000 be
yond any month in the nation's history. To some
extent this is attributed to the approaching tar
iff regulations in Germany. For the last week
at New York exports showed au increase of
$4,102,683, and Imports gained $1,299,067 as
compared with the same week last year. More
advances iu wages are announced and an agree
ment as to coal mining is more probable, but
aome friction is noted in the building trades.
Manufacturing plants make favorable reports, es
pecially those of the leading industrials, and an
other .new high record has been established ,in
the security market. Railway earnings thus
far reported for January were 7.10 larger than
a year ago.
Closing of large contracts for pig iron for
the leading interest proved an element of
strength in the Iron and steel industry that im
nroves the tone and makes the outlook for the
rst quarter most satisfactory.
Buyers are more numerous in the primary
markets for textile fabrics, altho the increased
interest thus far is confined almost entirely to
purchases at second hands.
Increased supplies have somewhat depressed
the tone of country hides, but packer lines are
fairly steady, and no division of the market has
shown a normal decline in proportion to the sea
sonable deterioration in quality. Activity of
eastern wholesalers inhandling-samples indicates
that original orders for fall shoes will be
placed much earlier than in previous seasons.
Failure 'or the week number 286 in the
United States against 285 last year, and 37 in
Canada, compared with 24 a year ago.

REVIEW OF THE MARKET BY THE NORTH
WESTERN HIDE & FUR 00.
The hide market is decidedly dull. By error
Of the printer, green salted cured cow hides were
quoted 12^ this week, where' it should have
been 12c. The market is another %o off, making
ll%c for No. 1 and l^c less for No. 1 green or
frozen. This is %c above the local prices be
ing paid in Chicago, as reported to the news
papers by.-. the Associated 'Press. 'Receipt* are
exceedingly large oitf all' markets and the quality
is continually growing poorer.
The market for furs is nominally unchanged.
The tendency is rather to lower prices. Many
exporters are feeling nervous over the coming
London sales, next week. Those who are buying
furs, and also trappers, are warned In regard
to weasels, that none but perfectly white will
go for No. 1. The slightest stain of yellow or
brown will make them go for No. 2 or No. 8,
and all brown sell from nothing to 60. They are
Koing out of fashion. Those who have shipped
furs and hides often are coming out best.

SOUTH DAKOTA *&%&&& MONTANA'
ILLEGAL FENCINGS
WARFARE BEGINS
UNITED STATES ITLES SUITS IN
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Charges of Wholesale Grabbing of Pub
lic Land by Fraudulent Methods Are
Made Against StockmenDivision
of Admiral Drake Estate Expected
to Benefit Many Heirs in the North
west.
Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan.^20.A warfare against
stockmen and others who during the past few
years are alleged to have secured vast tracts
of government land In western South Dakota
by fraudulent means, has beeu begun by the
United States authorities of South Dakota.
The methods employed in the alleged wholesale
grabbing of the public domain are said to be
similar to those employed by ranchmen in west
ern Nebraska. A the opening chapter in the
litigation the United States authorities in "this
city have instituted civil actions against several
persons with the object of having the federal
courts cancel the patents that were issued by
the government in cases where fraud is alleged
to have been used In securing the land. One
of the cases is entitled the United States vs.
Ella Henry and Carl Petan another is entitled
the United States vs. Emma M. Pretzer and
Carl Petan, and the defendant in another case
is John F. Henry. Petan is one of the most
prominent stockmen in western South Dakota.
It is alleged that Petan has enclosed an
aggregate of 7,000 acres with a fence. The gov
ernment expects to show that he Induced a Miss
Henry and a Miss Pretzer to make homestead
entries on tracts of 160 acres each, and that
when they made final proof he paid them in the
neighborhood of $150 each as an induceuwffit for
them to transfer the homesteads to him. The
land entered by the young women is said to be
situated within the 7,000-acre tract fenced by
him. The action against Ryan is on somewhat
similar grounds.
The beginning of these actions Is due to the
fact that the extension of the Milwaukee rail
road from Chamberlain to the Black Hills in
western Soath Dakota has caused farm land to
become much more valuable. There haB been
a steady influx of new settlers to that region
since last spring, and as government land Is
becoming scarce the intending homesteaders have
taken pains to look up the records and ascertain
by what right several stockmen have fenced in
large tracts.
Division of Drake Estate.
Wide attention has been attracted by recent
dispatches from this city in reference to the
early closing of the affairs of the $20,000,000
estate of Sir Francis Drake, the famous British
admiral, of which several South Dakotans expect
to be beneficiaries, and numerous letters have
been received from all parts of the United States
asking for additional information.
Besides those living In this state there are,
other heirs in Minnesota, Hlinois, Colorado, Mis
souri, New York and other states. It appears
that attorneys In their employ have spent many
months In England looking up the records. They
announced recently that affairs were about in
shape for the early distribution of the estate.
One of the best-posted American heirs is Robr
ert Core of Madison, S. D. brother of his,
living,-iny
Colorado accompaniedAthe attorneys to
England, and has kept him fully advised as to
the developments and present status of the mat
ter.
Among the South Dakota heirs is Mrs. Mary
Kirk, a well-known resident of Sioux Falls. She
Is a daughter of Lucinda Drake, a lineal de
scendant of Sir Francis Drake. Mrs. Kirk ex
presses the opinion that her claim to the estate
will come in ahead of many of the other heirs.

Pleasant Draper, the Negro Who Hilled
Crow Girl, Released from Peniten-
tiaryCase Recalls Desperate Fight
for Life and Establishment of a Pre
cedent in Federal Court Jurispru
dence.
Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont., Jan. 20.Sentenced four times
to hang, Pleasant Draper, colored, is now a free
man and is here, after serviug a term of eight
years in the state penitentiary. His release by
the pardoning power of the "governor recalls 'a.
case that Is famous'' in federal-court criminal
jurisprudence, and which resulted in the su
preme court of the United States .laying down .a
new doctrine relative to the trial of persons
charged with crime within Indian reservations.
About twelve years ago Draper was indicted
for murdering a Crow girl on the Indian reser
vation. He was tried here before Judge
Knowles, convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
He was without funds and in desperate straits,
when two Helena attorneys came to the rescue,
secured a stay of execution and carried the
case to the federal supreme court on the propo
sition that altho the, crime was committed
within an Indian reservation, neither he nor
his victims were wards of the government, and
therefore the federal courts lacked jurisdiction.
Court Upholds Contention.
The supreme court upheld this contention,
which had never been ruled upon before, and
directed that all cases of that character be
tried in the state courts.
In the meantime Draper had been sentenced
four times to hang, but ills attorneys each time
secured a stay .until the highest court of the.
United States could be heard from. He was
taken to Miles City In the state district court
nearest to the scene of the- killing, and under"
agreement with the prosecuting attorney he
pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree.
Judge Loud sentenced, him to twenty years in
the penitentiary, and the county saved the ex
penses of a trial.

Special to The Journal.
Mason City, Iowa, Jan. 20-The plana lot the
new Odd Fellows' Orphans' home, to replace the
one burned a few months ago, submitted by
Architect Rush of Grand Rapids, Mich., have
been accepted by the board of trustees. The
plans provide for a fireproof building or as near
so as human genius can make it. It will be
built of pressed brick and on the site of the old
one, with slightly enlarged dimensions, making
an increase of twelve rooms. The architecture
will be Grecian-Ionic, which was the prevailing
style at the time Oddfellowship was born In
America.'
Not a bit of wood excepting for the floor of
the ward department will be used In the con
struction. The strips on the windows, the stair
cases and railings will be of metal. The floors
of the main halls and first floor will be of ce
ment, overlaid with Venetian tile. The roof
will be first a reinforcement of cement, then a
layer of asbestos, then slate. The wiring of the
building will be carefully done and the conduit
system used thruout.
The building is so planned that It will be in
three^ departments,, The basement will be the
service department for the kitchen and all apart
ments connected with that part of the institu
tion. This department will have a person in
charge who will be responsible to the matron.
The first floor-'will be called the administrative
department, where rooms wUl be fitted for the
executive officer and the meeting place of the
board of directors, the wings to be used for
rooms for inmates. The second story will be
known as the ward department. Here will be
the nursery and the hospital and the supervisors'
office.

Old Appearance Changed,
The outside appearance of the building will be
changed.' Instead of the deep entrance aa in the
old buildln, the doors will be nearly square
with the walls. Over the entrance will be in
mosaic, "Orphans' Home." Inside the entrance,
inlaid in the tiling of the reception ball and at
convenient points thruout the building, espe
cially on the panels, will be the different em
blems of the order.
The heating of the building will be furnished
from a. separate building, in .the basement of
which will be the boilers and engines and storage
places for coal. The upper floors will be used
for the schoolroom, with a seating capacity for
100. The heat will be carried thru a oonduit
large enough to allow a man to walk upright,
aome eighty feet to the main building. Pipes
will be arranged that will connect with pumps
in the powerhouse to pump back all the impure
air collected from the various departments of
the building to the center of the structure. In
this way It .is expected that the ventilating
service will be almost perfebt and'will be a de

LOWER FREICrHT RATES SECURED
FROM GREAT NORTHERN.
President James J. Hill Promises a Re
duction to Place Minnesota Town on
Equal Footing to Compete with Ver
mont BivalrDecision Will Make St.
Cloud the Great Granite Center of
the West.
Special to The Journal.
St. Cloud, Minn., Jan. 20."I want to build
up the towns and' cities along the lines of our
own rdads."
This Is the sum total of an interview Henry
C. Walte of St. Cloud had with President Hill
of the Great Northern yesterday. Mr. Walte
went to see the railroad president in the Interest
of the St. Cloud granite producers, who are
appealing to the railroads to give them as low
a freight rate to Chicago and tributary points
as are enjoyed by Barre, Vt., the only other
point in the country that can compete with the
St. Cloud granite industry.
At present the rate from S Cloud to Chicago
on granite is 85 cents, while the rate from
Vermont to Chicago, a distance three times as.
great, is but 81 cents. Mr. Hill promised to put
the freight rates upon an equal footing with
those enjoyed by the eastern manufacturers.
This concession will be of great benefit to the
local granite interests, and will make St. Cloud
the great granite center of the west. The local
quarries are unexcelled In the variety and beauty
of their products, but their development has
been greatly hindered in the past by the high
freight rates. Mr. Hill also informed Mr. Waite
that the capacity of the Great Northern shops
at St. Cloud would be doubled the present year.
Fertilizer Goes Free.
CASS LAKE, MINN.Dr. P. D. Winship of
Park Rapids has been successful. In securing

Winship has been experimenting with rock phos
phate as a fertilizer, and has met with much
success. The factory is at Mount Pleasant,
Tenn., and the doctor has been-in correspond
ence with the railway officials for some time
regarding the free transportation of a carload
of the product to Park Rapids, his Intention
being to sell it to the farmers at actual cost.
