percent There is hardly an idle plant
in the state, labor has been well en-

prices for product and generally speak
ing trade has been brisk and collections
fully up to the average. There has been
some disturbances in several places in
state by reason of labor troubles but
these have been Of abort duration and

ent indications point to a continuance
OF prosperous conditions and predictions
are for large business for the coming
year Notwithstanding the fact that in
granite circles the busy season ended
little earlier this year than last, the
total output has exceeded that of 1901
by 10 percent. At present orders are
coming in slowly but the outlook is
very bright. Mari lie dealers have been
busy during the year, the large amount
of building outside of the state has
tended to tax plants TO full capacity
and dealers in this line have been forced
to enlarge their plants in order to take
care of business. The slate belt shown
well in comparison with business of
previous year, the only falling off that
is noted is in demand for roofing slate
but dealers in billiard and mill stock have
had plenty of orders and prices good.
Early in the year there was a light
demand III machinery but later this was
cOunteracted by liberal orders received
and some plants have been running
night and day in order to keep up with
the demand. The volume of business

Germs and dealers is in excess of that

been rushed with orders owing to large
amount of building that has been done.
Owners of mills are preparing for
large cut of logs the coming year. There
has been more building done in the
state than for a number of years al
though it is apparent only in spots.
Garment and overall manufacturers re-
port spring orders much in excess Of
those of year ago. Their plants have
been busy throughout year and some
have been forced to work overtime.

time to time not only in this line but
in others of scarcity of skilled labor,

This paper, in common with thousands
OF its contemporaries in various parts of

The supreme court has decided in the
case of f. B. Gray against the county
commissioners of Beadle county, that
a county commissioner is elected to
transact business for the whole county
and a change of residence from N dis
triet to another within the same county
does not effect his title to the position
or in any way disqualify him from
acting in the capacity of which he was
elected. Gray was elected to serve as
count commissioner from one OF the
country districts. Afterwards he
removed to the City of Huron, and on
the ground hat he no longer resided
within the district from which he was
elected, the board of Commissioners
declared the office vacant and appointed
a successor. Judge Whiting upheld the
action of the commissioners and the
supreme court o~verrules his decision.

always believed that $3.50 per year
was none too much for a good weekly
newspaper, but as many Of our COM

to make our price $l.OO per year, if

ing in advance the price will remain
the same as now, $50. As a special
inducement to get money we will
give thirteen months credit for every
dollar paid between now and Janu-

to all old subscribers who pay up
their arrears and one dollar in
advance we will give a like credit.

NEWSY A NOTES.

Shortly after the prayer meeting was
dismissed Wednesday evening at the
Congregation chuch of Milbank, as
the janitor, Mr.. Taft, pulled down the
heavy chandelier suspended from the
church for the purpose of extinguishing
the lights, the support holding the
chandelier gave way and the piece fell
with a crash to the floor. The glass
lamps broke and scattered oil which
quickly blazed up and set fire to the
cushions and pews and there must have
been a big blaze as subsequently fire
was located in the ceiling overhead.
Dense smoke quickly filled the building
and for a time it was difficult to locate
the seat of the fire in the ceiling. BY
keeping the doors closed the flames were
prevented from gaining much Roadway.
The fire department broke through a
window on the East side and played a
strong stream on the ceiling. In the
meantime the valuable pulpit furniture
was carried outdoors and the piano
covered up. Happily the flames were
quickly extinguished. The loss from
the fire and water will mount to about
5000 on building and $500 on contents,
which is covered by insurance.

years ago from Kansas and has been

who lives on a ranch adjoining that OF

an attractive girl and a remarkably
fine horsewoman. 1t was during heI
many rides through the country that
she became acquainted with Friday
who was always securing the hills and
valleys on the lookout for his cattle.
They rode together often and a great
friendship sprung up between them.
