NEED DIP ONLY INFECTED STOCK.
Secretary Wilson Is Said to Have Mod
flied Order.

According to a letter received by
Ben Peterson, a Dearborn township
farmer, Secretary of Agriculture Will
son has so modified his order requiring
the dipping of all cattle as to only re-
quire the dipping of those having
sca1ies. The order referred to created
much trouble among cattlemen and
shippers in this part of the state, and
when Secretary Wilson was here dur
ing the state fair his attention was di-
rectly called 70 the matter, with the
result that the department now will
permit cattle not visibiy diseased with
scabies to be shipped without inspec-
ton from points in o~uarantined area
to Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and
other live stock cenJer3.
When so shipped they VIII be sub
c'itted for inspection on arrival at deS-
tination and if found to be free from
the disease, nc further restriction will
be placed upon them. If, however, they
are found on inspection 10 he diseased,
they shall not be further shipped until
treated as diseased cattle. When unin-
spected cattle are shipped in accord
ance with these rules. the cars in
which shipment is made must be la
bled as containing uninspected cattle.

PUsHTNu 70 THE HILLS.
Good Progress Made on Milwaukee
Road Extension.

Road Extension.
The Milwaukee road is wasting NO
time in getting to the Hills as rapidly
as possible. A. E. Beaumont of Sioux
Falls, who has just made the trip
across the country from Sioux Falls on
his bicycle, reports that grading has
been completed on the Milwaukee ex-
tension for seventy miles west Of
Chamberlain, and the rails have been
laid for a distance of twenty miles.
A crew of surveyors is located at
Johnson's sheep ranch, where the two
trails meet, one from the north and
one from the south of the Bad Lands
wall. Another crew of surveyors Is on
the southern trail and speculation is
rife whether the railroad will take the
northern or southern route in it's west
ern journey.
1t it goes north, it must either follow
the Northwestern road into Rapid City,
which it is not likely to do, or it must
cross this road and make for the Belle
Fourche country, leaving Rapid City
entirely out of its line. AS this is not
probable, the chances are in favor Of
the southern route being taken. This
will run through the valley of the
White river and take in a very pictur-
esque country.
Lyman county is booming because of
the railroad question. New settlers are
coming in daily. 1t will not be long
until the entire country, which is very
rich will be settled.

the owner as a barber shop and bath

By F. B. kidder, a one-stCry brick
building, 25X60, with basement, to be

place for this business.
The largest structure has been erect.

full basement, occupied by Ward &
Co. as a department store. 1t will
have steam heat throughout and is fit.

modern designs, and is the best of its
kind in this part of the state.
Excavations are under way for the

While the law requiring surety COM

Companies which have not complied

Analysis of Medicines Open to All.

"There is no public demand and
there is not the slightest public neces-
sity for a law compelling the publ
cation of the formula of proprietary
medicines" says the Committee on
Legislation of the Proprietary Asso-
citation. Every Health Commissioner
and every Pure Food Commissioner
in the country, as well as every pri-
vate physician or chemist, if he
p~leases, has the right to make an
analysis of any proprietary medicine
and to publish the result and TO tell
the public what he thinks, and there
is nothing in the world to prevent
such action. But that is not what the
agitators for such legislation want.
Their object is to destroy the sale Of
such remedies entirely"

FEWER FOREIGNERS SHOWN.
Population in South Dakota Is More
American in Character.

The state Census Shows that the
population of South Dakota is becom-
ing more and more Americanized with
each recurring enumeration. In 1870
the foreigu-born population of the terri.
tory was ST. per cen Of the whole. In
1880 it was 81 per cent, and this per-
centage has shown a steady decline
ever since that date, being 27.6 per
cent in 1890, and 1871 per cent this
year. While the state has gained 10
per zen in population in the last five
years, but ! per cen of this gain was
from the foreign-born population. The
return shows also that there are in the
state 64,3S5 children six years of age
and under. OF these, $3.50 were born
In the state 1888 were born in other
states, and $40 were foreign-born.

WANT ASSESSMENT REDUCED.
Merchants Of MiIbank Object to State
Boards Appraisement.

6odroS NpprdiSement.
A meeting attended by the mer.
chants of Milbank was held recently
for the purpose of devising some way
to reach the state board of equaliza-
ton and get a reduction Of assessment
as left by that board on stocks of mer-
chandise. All the stocks in the city
were assessed by the assessor at 40
per cent of their actual value. This
was raised 100 per cent by the state
board, making an assessment of 80 per
cen of the actual value upon which
the tax is to be levied. One Milbank
storekeeper paid last year taxes
amounting to $264.54 on his stock. In
1905, on a slightly increased stock,
his taxes are 1915. In Grant county
the total value of merchandise as left
by the state board was $7S,145 in 1904,
and $1S6,366 in 1905. This large in.
crease In the face of the fiercest com.
petition from mail order houses eve
known Is claimed to be a burden. They
claim bank stocks and real estate
should be made to pay some of the
tax. A. V. Fisher, ]. S. Farley and
August Mittlestaed were appointed a
committe to seek the cooperation Of
other counties and see what can be
done. Legal counsel, which has been
employed, clai mthere is nothing in
the statutes or constitution that pre-
vents the state hoard Of eoualization
from revising Its work.
