On This Week in South Dakota History

• March 3, 1904. It is said that President
  Roosevelt will refuse to sign the Rosebud bill
  unless the price of the land paid to the Indians
  is raised to 5.00 per acre. This would
  practically kill the effect of the bill, as few
  homesteaders would pay that price for the land
  when nearly as good land only a few miles farther
  north is already open for free homestead entry.
