Special to The Journal
Aberdeen, S. D., Feb. 9.-Casper HAITI
will erect his five-story business block here
the coming summer. He has expended
several thousand dollars on the basement,
but was deferred from beginning the SUI
perstructure last year from the discov-
cry Of a defect in the title of one Of the
four lots to be covered by the building.
This defect was remedied, and he now
announces that arrangements have been
made for the erection of the building.
Besides the HAITI block, buildings in
sight for business purposes are ware
house and office building for the Aber-
deem Wholesale Grocery company; a large
warehouse for the J. I. Case company: a
two-story brick and stone building for the
use Of the Aberdeen Commercial club: a
two story brick and stone store building
for A.. w. Voedisch, the jeweler; a two
story brick and stone building by the
Carswell estate of Chicago; another two
story brick factory building will be
erected by Ward Bros. company, bakers
and candy manufacturers. The failure of
the contractors to get the government
building enclosed last fall delayed the
completion of the structure and this will
employ a large number of men thru the
summer.

LIGHT FRANCHISE GRANTED.
An Improved System to be Installed With.
in Six Months.

At the adjourned council meeting
Saturday night the matter of the
granting of twenty-year franchise to
The Grimes Light, Fuel & Power Co.
was taken up and pushed TO compile
ton. Section 1, 5 and were
amended to better protect the city's
interests, and the ordinance, which
is numbered 264, was passed as a
whole, by unanimous vote of the
council.
Before final passage an opportunity
was given to citizens "a large number
of whom were presenD to express
lemselves upon the measure.
Attorney JOS. w. Clarke gave a
resume of the ups and downs of the
Grimes company, and asked thai
final action regarding the franchise
be deferred for 80 days, as he feared
the reorganization would be injurious
o the interests of Mrs: Lillian Grimes
and the w. sB. Grimes heirs. At.
torney Russell replied in behalf OF
the present company. Mayor Moses
ruled that any personal differences
between the old and the new com
city could be party, and council
could only consider that which per
tanned to the city's interests, and the
ordinance granting the franchise and
regulating the plant for a period oil
ten years was put to final vote and
passed.
The Light Co. will Immediately be-
gin the reconstruction of the plant by
the purchase of several thousands OF
dollars worth of new machinery,
What is known as the ''aiternating
system" will be installed, which will
enable the company to furnish arc
lights as well as incandescent, and by
the first of the year the main streets
will be lit by arc lighss and a all night
service given. The city will pay a
few dollars more month for lights,
but the service will be worth it.
It is also understood that a day
service, for the furnishing of electric
power, will also be installed, which
would be greatly appreciated by all
persons who use mechanical power.

Freezing Lawyers Out.

An eastern paper says there is a
greater wall going up from Kansas
that the continued and unexampled
prosperity has absolutely starved the
awyers out. In the Mcpherson dis
trict court only one new trial has been
docketed there in three months. In
some of the districts of western Kan
sas judge doesn't spend more
than sixty days year trying cases.
In one district which has nine count
les it took the judge just one day in
each county to clean up the docket
on the last round. He makes three
rounds year. In the rural districts
there is nothing doing. The lawyers
are trying to make both ends meet by
specializing in land, oil or gas. When
hard times come and there are bank
ruptcies and foreclosures and suits
galore, lawyers flourish, but when
there is a great wheat crop and money
comes pouring into the Golfers of the
honest farmer, he pays his debts with:
out trouble and there is nothing really
doing to worry the average man.
Lawyers are therefore forced to set on
the fence and watch the clouds roll

Wheat Loss 235 Per Ce Mt.

Rolln E. Smith, the crop expert Of
the Minneapolis, Mimi, Times, who
has been in Kansas looking up the
crop situation for the large millers,
gives the following figures on the
losses in the Kansas wheat fields:
The loss to the wheat crop of Kan
sas from the rains and floods of July
1 to 10 may be briefly summed up as
follows;
Hard wheat destroyed outright......f2 per cent.
Soft or red wheat destroyed .-..--....
Loss due to shrinkage, spouting, in
shock, ETC., lbs. per bu..... o1a
Loss in cutting and handling over
ripe crop.
Total Loss. .zoSa per cent
Taking as basis the estimate OF
SO.O0O,O00 bushels for the crop be-
fore the damage, this means loss OF
100000 bushels and a total saved
of 81, 900, GOO bushels providing good
