port.
Major sylvester makes several recon-
mendations as regards the enactment
II new laws covering the sale of vari-
Gus articles in the city. He also speaks
at some length about Fairgrounds in
Washington. and is solicitous of having
"A number of new ones established and

In speaking Of magistrates warrants,
Major sylvester says:
when the magistrate system was
changed by law the authority 10 issue
warrants WAS not conferred upon the
Justices of the peace, il being limited
TO the Police Court. and that institu-
ton closing after the days usual busi-
ness hours not infrequently must the
obtaining OF a warrant be deferred untii

amended as TO permit magistrates 10

case, il would be convenience to the

Major sylvester advocates the reclassi-
fcaticn Of the police, and also the
erection OF the target range.
An Increase for Boardman.
I'm view OF the fact that Captain
Boardman is Chief of Detectives. and
acting superintendent when Major Syl-
veste- is away il is recommended that
he be granted an increase of 500 "a year
fin his salary, which is at present 81. 500.
Major Sylvester believes about 1J
more policemen should be added to the
force. The work done by local police
men demands a salary of $50 a month
after two years service and Sl00 when
five years have been spent in the scrv-
ice.
Hackmcn should be granted licenses
after their application for the same has
been passed upon by the Chief Of Police.
The stealing Of junk and the sale OF II

ONE -NINTH OF
ARMY DESERT
Number of Cases Increased
Over l Per Cent.
MANY ARE RECRUITS
Burton Considers Light Regard for
Crime the Chief
Cause.

Ia the last fiscal year there We're 6,533
desertions from the army, or I107 per
cent of the entire enlisted strength. The
desertions Increased eco in number over
the preceding year, and in percentage
rs.
These figures are made the text of a
chapter in the annual report OF In
Inspector Gen. G. II. Burton, which has
Just been submitted to the War Depart
ment.
According TO reports from inspectors
in the field, the principal causes OF de
sertion are:
Causes.
F,irst-Recruits united for the serv-
ice. "Suowbirdsr who enlist only TO get
food and clothes Tor the winter.
seeend-Too light punishment and
TOO light regard Ter the crime by civil
ians.
Third Being stationed near frontier
or mining towns where wages are high.
Fourth insufficient pay
Fifth-Isolatiou of posts and lack of
.lmusements-
Sixth-Enforcement of strict discipline
Seveuth--No beer TO be had in post ex-
changes.
Eighth-Debt incurred in various ways.
The inspector general says, in his opin-
ion, the chief reason for 50 many de-
sertions is the INADEQUATE punishment
indicted. If every soldier knew the
penalty OF his crime would be five years
IN prison. says the general. there
would not be one desertion where there
are today twenty"

He recommends a new system OF re-

lar oath of enlistment If he is salts

Against Prohibition.

All OF these gentlemen were emphatic
in their utterances in regard to the i'm
propriety Of attaching a prohibition
clause as one of the conditions neces-
sary to admission TO Statehood.
Mr. F'iisen. who has been one Of the
hardest workers for Statehood. said:
THE people Of Oklahoma are unanf-
nous in their desire for single State
hood, and throughout the Territory the
people are against the proposed impCsi-
ton Of prohibition as one of the condI-
tions OF admission. This question the
people should De left to settle for them
selves. No State has ever before been
admitted 10 Statehood with a condition
OF that kind
The speaker went on TO ridicule the
idea that prohibition is necessary for
the protection OF the Indians. While
the people OF Oklahoma are anxious for
single Statehood, there is an almost
equal demand in ImGian' Territory for
separate Statehood, although the cleo
ton yesterday seems TO favor single
Statehood

Immense Draw-Bridge OF Mil.
waukee Road Launched
at Chamberlain.

oiIe Drivers Will Soon Begin Work o.,
the East Bank of the Missouri
and Completion of New
Bridge Is to Be Rushed.

Chamberlain, s. D., June 17.-The al
by 366 foot boat for the draw in the
railroad crossing of the Milwaukee
company at Chamberlain was launched
in the presence of about $500 people
under the direction OF Bridge Builder
Drum. h boat had been bull, on a,
bank fully fifteen feet above the river.
but she settled down the incline
smoothly and easily. accommodating but.
little water ahead of her. Not a drop
struck her deck.
1t will take several weeks yet to
finish the boat, as but comparatively
little is done on her deck. This, how
ever, can be done in The water as Nell
as in her old position, where she pre-
'ented the driving of piling from the
east bank of the river for the ~trestle.
The pile drivers now will begin
work from the east bank. and by the
time they are through the boat will be
finished.
The work of building the trestle
from the Chamberlain depot across
American creek to the position where
the draw boat vas constructed has
been completed as to the piling and
string timbers. and is now ready for
the ties and rails.
The depot will have to be moved
from the south to the north side of
the railroad yards SO tina incoming
rains will be able 10 continue across
the river without extra switching.
SeNera weeks age Il couple of large
Sidillgs Were constructed about Il mile
eaGt of Chamberlain, and during the
past ceNeral days trains have been UNI
loading ties from these tracks.
Several hundred cars of ties have
arrived and there is now a veritable
of ties on the ground. These
workmen are engaged in stripping the
bark from and getting in readiness,
for use. No ties or rails Will be taken
west of the river until the bridge is
completed, by which time it is expected
that the grading contracted for west
of the river will have been completed.
Trains Will then cross the ties and rails
as workmen are able to lay the track.
The laying of the track viii be done
In record time when commenced. 1t is
expected by the contractors that from
five to six miles of track will be laid
per day, and that trains will! be run-
ming over the line for about eighty
miles west of the river by the fore part
of August.
After that for some time, however,
pile drivers and men will be gag
at Chamberlain in driving bull dog
piers in the river to protect the tres
tie from the action of high water, ice
or drift. Immense quantities of rock
and rubbish will be placed along the
l,oOO feet of trestle west of the island
y a complete dam made which will
make the trestle permanent in charac-
ter. On the east side of the island the
bull dog piers will be placed in large
numbers, the effect being to form a
funnel which will divert the bulk of
he water against the big draw boat.

George Hanson had repeatedly en-

uncertainty as to their fate. he came to
Sioux Falls and made a personal APP

enable him to ascertain that his Oldest

secured. No information, however, re-
garding the whereabouts of the young-

OBJECT TO DIPPING RULE.
Farmers Complain That It Is WORKING
a Hardship Among Them.

Huron. S. d.. June 1s.-Many farm.
ers and cattle owners in this, Beadle,
county, are protesting strongly against
the enforcement of the order recently
promulgated by the state board OF
health directing all cattle to be dipped.
n order appears to be imperative and
applies alike to cattle affected with
scab or other disase. and those abso-
lutely free from ailment Of any kind.
A meeting of the county commissioners
was held to consider the matter as
owners Of dipping tanks were at loss
to know how to proceed to enforce the
order. At the meeting were fifty or
more cattlemen, and more would have
been present had they known of the
meeting. The matter was thoroughly
discussed. and a feeling If earnestness
manifested by those whose cattle are
free from disease. against complying
with the provisions of the order, and
not a few. apparently very satisfactory
reasons were assigned for the protest,
Finally the board passed a resolution
asking the state board to so modify the
order as not to include cattle Known
to be free from scab in the list of those
TO be dipped. This resolution has been
forwarded by the county auditor to the
state board and the action of that body
is awaited with some impotence.

court. However. the street was OPP
ened. Judge Marquis had previously
named S. H. Goepfert. Charles Hartman
and j. "A. Cressey as appraisers. n the
damages to the company were liked by
this board at $3.50. This sum the coun-
Gil ordered placed in the city treasury
subject to the order of the road, and
Tuesday morning began to grade the
over one sidetrack and a team driven
across to signify that the street was
formally opened.
Tuesday night the company tore ur
the crossing and ran two freight cars
UPON the street and there derailed
them, thus ~obstructing the passage.
The council then made a second eff
fort to carry on the work.. Assistant
Roadmaster Ratliff of Tracy was here.
and ordered Chief of Police Keegan tc
leave the cars alone. The marshal re-
fused, and the railroad official at
tempted TO prevent him. The marshal
drew n Sixshooter and ran the
master into The city jail, where he Ian
guished for a day.
Notice was served On the company to
remove the freight cars in two hours.
AT h expiration of that time a trac.
ton engine was hooked to them and
they were pulled away.
In the meantime the city attorney ap-
piled to Judge Marquis for an %injunc-
ton restraining the company from fur.

A temporary injunction was granted,
and on Saturday the matter of a per-
