Fees of Lawyers Not Good.
Pierre.—That attorneys' fees are
not a propter charge in probable casts
of taking tax deed, is the holding of
the attorney general's department on
inquiry as to manner of settlement of
such cost. It is further held that where
the probable costs estimated, can be
shown to exceed the actual costs after
all accounts are cleared up, the re
demptioner. is entitled to a rebate of
any such excess is also the holding in
the same opinion.
It is also held that a county road
levy is not included in the limitation
of levy for counties fixed by statute.
As the road levy is not equal on all
parts of the county, being different for
organized and unorganized townships,
it is not to be considered in the lim
itation when the levies are fixed. It
is also held in this opinion that pro
visions f&r caring for outstanding
bond- elfher In way of sinking fund
or settlement is not limited by the
iinutation act, but must be considered
o«L«ide the ordinary levies. But the
provisions for carina for outstanding
warrants must be made within the lim
itation, not being on the same basis
as bonded indebtedness.
Threshing Returns.
Aberdeen—After another week of
perfect weather, threshing has made
big headway and from all quarters of
the state come the most optimistic re
ports. Returns from the northeastern
part of the state indicate that black
rust has materially affected the late
wheat there, some of the bluestem
going as low as eight bushels to the
acre, although the general average in
late wheat is from 12 to 18. In the
ncrth central and northwestern parts
of the state the rust talk appears to
have been mostly scare, as grain
thought to have been rusted is yield
ing from 25 to 33 bushels to the acre,
all grading No. 1. During the past two
weeks the weather has been much
warmer than during the month of Au
gust, mounting to near the 90 mark.
Corn is making active strides towards
maturity, and with another week or
ten days without frosts will prove the
liggest crop of this grain ever raised.
Alfalfa Seed Scarce.
Sturgis Reports from nearly all
sections of western South Dakota
show that there will be practically no
alfalfa seed this year. The late rains
spoiled whatever prospects there were
for seed, but the ranchers are getting
three and four cuttings of alfalfa, so
do not miss the seed as much as they
would in a less prosperous year. The
absence of the seed, except in a few
scattered places, means an advance
in its price, and those who were for
tunate eniigh to hold over last year's
•eed crop will reap richly from it
Taxation ef Indian Property.
Pierre.—The Question of tax a ties of
Indian personal property, has b*-r-n one
of contention in the "reservation"
"'unties of the state ever since ihe
organization of such counties, and sev
eral rulings have been made upon that
issue, generally that personal property,
except such LS is held as government
trust property is subject to taxation.
But a recent opinion signed by B.
Sweeney, assistant secretary of inte
rior," holds to the contrary. The
nummary of his long opinion being:
"The Cheyenne River Sioux Indians
have a uibal organization, and are
therefore subject to the exclusive jur
isdiction of the United States. There
lore not only is the time issue prop
erty or the increase thereof not sub
ject to taxation, but ail personal prop
erty belonging to Indians, they being
i wards of the government and sustain
i ing tribal relations, is not subject to
taxation. The enabling act of Febru
ary 22. 1SS&, and the constitution
adopted by the state of South Dakota,
provide that ail lands within the state
owned or held by Indian tribe*, f^hall
remain under the absolute jurisdic
tion and control of congress of the
Cnited States. And the act of May s,
1906. under which the larger number
of Indians on the Cheyenne river res
ervation were allotted, provide# that
i until the issuance of fee simple pat
ents all allottees to whom trust pat
ents shall hereafter be issued thail be
i subject to the exclusive jurisdictioa
of the United States."
Under this ruling, which places all
i personal property oi an allotment hold
I er outside local taxation until fee sim
pie is granted, by auihority on Indian
affairs, to mean that an allotment
holder, even though he makes no at
'empt to live upon tne reservation,
and is transacting business of any
character, is exempt from taxation
upon his property until the end of his
allotment term of 25 years, when he
is to receive fee simple to his land
and become a citizen and subject to
ihe same duties as any other citizen.
Under the Burke act of 1906. the sec
retary of the interior is authorized
to end the allotment term at any time
where it is desired, and it can be
shown that the allotment holder is
competent to conduct his own affairs
and on the other hand the allotment
i term can be extended by proclamation
at the end of the 25 years if so desired.
This ruling practically gives allot
ment holders, some with so small a
strain of Indian blood that it would
have to be proven to show it, an ex
exemption which other business men
in competition with them woold be
compelled to meet.
Change in Haying Method*.
Pierre.—A haying camp, with a con
tract for over two thousand tons of
hay, and a big force of men. without
i
a single hay wagon, and with only one
old spring tooth harrow standing un
used near the camp tents, shows the
changes in haying work in this sec
I tion. Every mower is equipped with
a "dropper'' attachment, with which
the hay is dropped in winrows. and
from these it is carried by "buckers"
to the stacks, where machinery is used
to do the lifting of the day. and one
of these devices, the idea of M. Gor
man, a colored man employed on the
work, is certainly an ingenious man
ner of piling up hay. He has devised
a high sliding platform, constructed
on a wagon to be easily moved. This
runs on a slope from the ground up
to a height of about 15 feet, a short
detachable portion being used be
tween the ground and the fixed chute
on the wagon. The buckers pile the
hay at the foot of this chute, and it
is pushed to the top, and dropped onto
the stack where it keeps three men
busy leveling it cut. The pushing is
done by a team hitched to the end of
a long light telephone pole, which has
the push board attached to the light
end, with the team hitched to the
heavy end, which runs on a wheel.
As the team is driven toward the in
clined plane chute, the push board end
slides up the chute carrying the hay
with it to the top, where it drops down
to the stackers. The team is then
backed and the board slides down to
the bottom and pulled clear for the
buckers to deposit another supply,
which is shoved along to the stack.
An ordinary hoist stacker follows be
hind and provides the hay for topping
out the stack. On a time test five tons
of hay was put into the stack in fif
teen minutes, that is, gathered from
the windrows in the field with the
buckers, hauled to the two stacks and
piled up. The big pushing device
handling more than twice as much as
the hoist stacker which was used for
finishing the stacking. While the camp
in which this ttig hay piler is used on
the contract by A. W. Ewert, is put
ting up a greater amount of hay than
any other outfit near here, the coun
try is literally dotted with stacks of
hay and grain all over the central
western part of the county, where the
harvest is one which will mean plenty
to the farmers this winter. The corn
crop is maturing rapidly, and as the
silk in most fields is brown, and the
husks beginning to turn, it will take
but a few days more to put most of
the corn oat ot the way of damage
from frost.
Reserve Free to Hunters.
Webster.—The best news that the
hunters of this locality have heard
in several seasons came when H. W.
Allen, who holds the lease on the old
Fort Sisseton reserve and considera
ble other land in that vicinity, made
the announcement that his land was
free to hunters who would be gov
erned by the state and federal laws,
and would keep all gates closed and
refrain from cutting wire fences. The
Fort Sisseton reserve is considered
about the finest hunting grounds in
the noitheastern part of the state

Mrs. Enderly, wife cf Judge Ender

As the lady was rather given to
making great ad- over trivial mishaps,
and as the judge was much preoccu
pied. he did not pay much heed. Soon
after, however, findi-.g her in tears,
he made kindly inquiry as to their
cause.
"it s your heartless in-indifference
to anything that h-happens to me."
sobbed the aggrieved little woman. "I
