FARMERS ROAD.
A Hundred Thousand Dollars for tho

Hundred Thousand Dollars for the
Enterprise.
What purports to be farmers rail-
road will probably be built from Web
lin, S. D., and connect with the Great
Northern at Herman, MINI. Last
summer over 100000 were subscribed
by the farmers and last fall engineers
were sent over the ground to make
estimates of the cost of building the
road.
From the favorable reports Of the
engineers it is likely that the line will
be built. An effort is being made to
secure additional subscription from
the farmers before too much encour-
agement is given.
Should this line be built it will car
ry some of the business that is now
taken by the Milwaukee line at Sisse-
ton and at White Rock, where the
road gets nearly 100000 bushels of
wheat each year.
1t is planned to have the new road
pass about five miles south of White
Rock through a place called Mallard,
in the new oil territory, but the build
ing of the road did not result from the
oil excitement.

to the judiciary committee. But it
called out an extended discussion in
which Friber and Rice supported it,
and Toy and Stoddard opposed it, TAX
ing the position that sheriffs served a
number of papers on one trip and
charged mileage from starting point on
each individual service getting fees
enough as it is. Dillon thought that
the bill had not been given proper
consideration by the committee on
towns and asked that it go back to the
judiciary committee, where it went at
ter further wrangling in which Rice
stated that any sheriff who would car
ry out the practices alleged should be
in the penitentiary.
A number of new senate bills were
presented, the principal of which
were: BY Cassill, providing for pay
ment of road taxes in cash; by Cook,
giving guardians power to mortgage
property of minors or incompetents;
by Doughey, requiring county auditors
to keep plat books, showing the own
ers Of plats of ground in the counties;
by Saltmarsh, making license for non
resident hunters $40; by Friberg, re-
quirin~ 81 liquor licenses to be paid
for full year, and prohibiting ex-con-
victs from engaging in the business;
by Willsie, a deficiency appropriation
of $4,000 for the state school of mines.
The senate, life insurance bill came
up on committee report and was again
attacked by Rice on the ground that
it hampered the insurance commits
sioner in his control of the companies.
He took occasion to deny that in for
mer argument he had compared life
insurance agents with brigands, giving
as his statement that he would as soon
vote to license brigands as to vote for

that the senator from Moody had at
