AFTER SHARE OF INSURANCE TAX
Ninety-One Cities and Towns File Re.
ports With State Auditor.

Last year Several towns were left
out of the distribution of the percent
age OF insurance tax which goes to the
fire companies because they failed to
make the required reports to the state.
Among the principal towns left out
were Huron and Deadwood. The state
auditor called attention to the necessi-
ty of filing such reports if there was
a desire to secure a share of the funds,
and as a result 81 towns have filed re-
ports this rear against 62 which made
filing last year. The list, which has
been certified to the insurance COM
missioner is composed of the following
towns: Aberdeen, Alexandria,, Alpena,
Armour, Artesian, Belle Fourche, Ber-
esford, Bowdle, Bridgewater, Bristol,

The distribution of this fund will be
made next spring, and the amount to
each town depends entirely on the
amount Of premiums paid by the town,
the fire companies getting 2 per cent
of such premiums in their home town
alone.

Convincing Evidence.

Winthrop, Cal, Nov. Goth Especially
A plain and straightforward story
is always the most convincing. And
that is what has impressed us most
in reading the testimonials in regard
to Dodd's Kidney Pills. The expert
ence told by Davis Lewis of this place
bears the ring and stamp of truth
upon it. He says
Il was troubled for six months
with dull, heavy pains in the small
OF my back, sometimes it passed into
my stomach, at other times up be-
tween my shoulders. When it was
in my stomach I vas doubled up, and
hardly knew what to do for the pain.
l was advised to take all kinds of
remedies, and did SO, but without get
ting any relief. Then some one told
me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. got
a box and began taking them. The
first few dose gave me relief, by the
time l had finished them all the pain
was gone and / have been well ever

THANKSGIVING.

South Dakotans Called on to Observe
Thanksgiving.
Gov. Elrod has issued the following
Thanksgiving prOclamatiOn:
"All the people of the commonwealth
have great reason to be thankful for
bountiful crops, for employment, for
health, for happy homes, for blessings
unequaled land for all the necessaries
and many of the comforts of life.
"In conformity with the proclama-
ton of President Roosevelt, l, Samuel
H. Elrod, governor of the State OF
South Dakota do set apart Thursday,
November 80, 1905, as a day of thanks
giving.
"All citizens are earnestly urged to
cease from their labors at least a part
of the day and to meet in houses of
worship or in homes and give thanks
unto God. Where there is sickness
and sorrow let friends fail not to do
and say things which will cause the
hearts Of such unfortunate ones to
be thankful.
Brother ought to learn from broth
err. Recently there was a fast day sa-
cred to foreigners. Every foreigner in
our great country sacredly kept the
fast day of his native land. Possibly
some of them did it through fear. Be
that as it may, there is a lesson in 1t
for us. We ought to keep Thanksgiv-
ing day for love Of home and country
and in the Acknowledgement Of divine
blessings.
LET each citizen of South Dakota
observe the day as his best thoughts
direct, and as the day grows old let
every citizen of the commonwealth ST
lently petition the Great Father to
continue his goodness to u.s."

FIGHT THE
Course Of the River Being Changed At
Oacoma, South Dakota.

The Milwaukee Railroad company
1as a gang Of men at work placing
willows, dirt and other material under
he west end of the pile bridge cross
he main channel of the Missouri river
at Oacoma, where the railroad made a
crossing for it's extension from Cham
berlain and Oacoma to the Black
Hills. The company expects to thus
fill about 100 feet for the purpose of
protecting the pile bridge and prevent
ing its being washed out or damaged
should the water in the river rise so
high next spring as to overflow the
erection which has been made on the
east side of American island behind
.he rick dixie that was built out last
year to cause this.
Work also has commenced on the
big dam across the side channels of
he Missouri between American island
and Lyman county on the west side
IF the river. The main channel of the
Missouri is next to the Brule county
shore at the point where the railroad
JIItSe HAS D66u CONSTRUCTED dCIoSS Tic
rver. About a third of the work done
IN the dam last spring vas washed out
by the July freshet. But the remain
der held firm and so reduces the vol
ume of water on the west side, be-
:ween American island and the Lyman
county shore, that the stream now
flowing there is much smaller and
much more shallow than before. 1t
will be much easier to construct the
dam than it was last spring, and the
probability is that the dam during the
winter can be made of sufficient
strength to resist the strong pressure
of water when the river gets on it's
customary rampage next sprinG.
Should the dam stand the pressure all
the water in the river will be forced
into the main channel between Amer
lean island and the Brule county
shore, along which, in that immediate
vicinity, ten town of Chamberlain ex-
tends, Oacoma being situated on the
west side of the river.

SCHOOL FUNDS IN DEMAND.
Counties to Get No Money Jan. I for
Investment.

Land Commissioner Bach is sending
out letters to the county officers over
the state announcing that he has no
funds to disburse on Jan. 1 to the diff
ferent counties from the permanent
school fund for their investment.
There is only S17.92 of the fund lying
idle in the state treasury, and this
would make ar apportionment SO small
that it would be of no use to any coun-
ty. The balance of the fund, amount
ing to $4,670,499, is invested and draw
ing interest. For the past year the
permanent fund at nc time has
amounted to more than a few hundred
dollars, all of it being kept out. The
money coming in is all placed long be-
fore 1t reaches the treasury, and is
sent to places waiting for it as fast as
it accumulates. The commissioner
congratulates the different county Off
GERS on their efforts in keeping the
funds invested.

LACK OF
North Oakota's Population Shows Bio
Gain Over South Dakota.

When the two Dakotas we're admit
ted to statehood, in 1889, South Dako-
ia had fully a third more population
than did the north state.
AT the present time the population
OF the two states is practically the
same, as shown by the census of this
year. Ever since the admission, North
Dakota has been working to secure
e population. It's state land depart
ment is supplied with a sufficient fund
Tor advertising purposes to send out
illustrated circulars and a large
amount of printed matter, in which
not only the state lands alone are ad-
vertlsed, but the section in which they
are located is shown up to the best
advantage.
During the same time the Great
Northern road has kept in existence
en- immigration bureau of it's own and
has done a great deal towards secur-
Yng settlers for that state. For the
same time every effort to secure any
thing in the way of an appropriation
from the legislature of South Dakota
for advertising the state or keeping an
immigration bureau in existence has
met with a cold rundown.
Nothing has been done outside of
private efforts of different land compa-
MES. The result of the different poll
cies followed by the two states is
shown in the figures which give North
Dakota a gain Of 10000 in population
since 1890, and South Dakota a gain
Of but $4,000.
The question of action is being gen.
orally discussed e the state, and it
Is hoped that if the next legislature
will do nothing more, it will supply an
additional clerk in the state land de-
partment for hat purpose and provide
him with a sufficient fund for printing
to be able to answer the many inquir-
les which come to hat department,
but which canno be answered for the
reason of lack OF opportunity and the
necessary information.

GOLD OUTPUT is VAST.
Black Hills Have Recorded $4,000
600. in 20 Years.

WV ~
The Black Hills have produced in
the last Twenty-Five years about $780,
600, 900 in gold. These are figures
made from a recent estimate by one
of the principal mining men of Lead.
This output is from the mills and from
the placer mines and is based on ac-
tual returns. Just what the Black
Hills has produced outside this record
no person ever could estimate. Thou
sands of dollars were mined and sent
out in private ways which never have
been recorded. From now on the
Black Hills will increase each year the
output, owing to a large number of
new mills that are soon to go into
commission. These new plants will
have a daily capacity Of from 200 to
1900 tons each.
