by protests that the animal had been
taken up for the purpose of finding its

Hance Murphy of Elk Point, secre-
tary of the state commission of the
Trans Mississippi exposition, in a let
ter recently published in the Rapid
City Journal, says he has just .beenoyer
the eastern part of the state working
the county commissioners to make APP
preparations. He got a great many
good promises from the commission
ers and after getting home received
reports from ten counties, seven of
which made appropriations. He is
anxious to hear how the Hills counties
are making it and what plan is being
worked to raise the money needed.
The seven counties heard from in east
ern Dakota have donated $1,000 and
there are two or three counties at
least that will raise .:their money by
business men putting up their notes
where the commissioners would not
agree to make an appropriation. Mr..
Murphy thinks success will crown the
efforts of the commission.
