BONDED DEBT DECREASES.
Figures Are $s1 1,67e.42 Smaller Thar
Year Auo.


The county financial statements in
cluded in the annual report of the
state auditor show a decrease of $751;
697.42 in the amount of the outstand-
ing county bonded debt of the state.
Several counties have decreased that
class of Indebtedness, and others have
added. leaving the net reduction less
than 100000.
Out of the fifty-two counties OF the
state twenty eight have no bonds out
standing. The counties Of Aurora,
Charles Mix, Clark. Clay. Edmunds,
Hutchinson, Jerauld, Lincoln, McPher-
son Miner, Sphinx and Sully have no
bonds, and their floating debt is less
than $500 each, with good cash bal
ances to their credit. The warrants
out In Aurora, Sphinx and Sully are
less than 500 in either county.
The expenditures for the year were
heavier in Yankton than any other
county of the state, with 100000. but
part of this evidently went into a
court house. as there is a charge of
$4,000 for that purpose. 1t cost Buf-
falo county $5,505 to operate for the
year, while Sully needed $10,5S8 Most
Of the counties of the state show con.
servative business management, and
debts generally are being reduced.

Real Estate Men to Urge Creation Of
State Commissioner.
AS the result Of meeting in Sioux
Falls by large number of members
of the South Dakota Real Estate Mems
association, it was decided that com
mittee, consisting of two men from
each county in the state, should be ap
pointed to act with the president OF
the association in the matter of select
ing a judiciary committee of nine
members to be present during the ap
preaching session of the legislature
and secure the passage of law ere
ating the Office of state commissioner
of immigration.
The real estate men are united or
this proposition. They believe thai
such an Official is badly needed IN
South Dakota is to continue to IN
crease It's population to the extent
that its resources merit.
The matter of creating board OF
publicity was discussed at some
length, but it finally was decided not
to take definite action in this particu
lar matter until another meeting OF
the real estate men of the state, which
will be held at Pierre early In Janu'

OWN BUSINESS HOUSES.
Every Business Building in Big Stone

Every Business Building in Big Stone
but Three Owned by Its Occupant.
Big Stone without doubt holds the
record OF towns of South Dakota in
regard to the percentage OF business
blocks owned by the business men
who conduct business therein. Atten-
ton was called to this by the purchase
a few days ago by Ben A. Ochler, a
local business man, of the two-story
brick building in which he conducts
his business, and the purchase by j..
w. Ochler of the building occupied at
present by furniture store. In the
past It has been rarely the case that
business buildings have been owned
by the men who conducted their busi-
ness in them. At the present time, SO
great has been the change in this re-
spect, every business building in Big
Stone with three exceptions is owned
by its occupant.

INDIANS HAVE GRAIN CROP.
Standing Rock Red Men Raise $1,000
Bushels.

The Indians on the Standing Rock
reservation this year were started at
raising small grain, and this fall the
government furnished them with a
steam thresher Among them they Sc
cured $4,000 bushels of small grain,
besides the corn they raised. An at
tempt will be made to start the In
dians on Cheyenne River agency at
that class of farming next year. In
dians on the Cheyenne River reserv-
alton are taking coal out Of mine
about sixty miles northwest Of the
agency and are supplying the govern
ment buildings at that place with fuel.
1t is claimed that the supply of coal
at this mine is extensive and that it
is of quality that gives good furnace
heat to the government buildings
where it is being used.

THANKFUL FOR FATTEsT YEAR.
Gov. Elrod Issues Proclamation on Ap-
preaching Holiday.


Gov. Samuel H. Elrod has issued the
following characteristic Thanksgiving
proclamation:
The people, the plain people, of this
state have great reason to be thank
full for the many and bountiful bless
ings which they have enjoyed during
the past year.
I'm all probability the state has
never been freer from sickness and
disease, and of all our blessings none
surpasses that Of good health.
Another great blessing which our
people have enjoyed is that they had
all the work they could possibly do.
The reward has been of the fullest
measure and the result is that oar
homes, the humblest as well as the
richest, are provided with all the nee
essaries and many of the comforts OF
life. There is a something about the
completeness of the South Dakota
home that, strong as the word is, does
not fully convey an adequate idea OF
the comfort and hospitality found
therein. Doubtless there are excep-
tions, and where they exist it is my
, earnest wish that friends and neigh
bors come, to the rescue to the end
that all may enjoy Thanksgiving day.
Toward the unfortunate one let our
motto be, 1t is more blessed to give
than to receive
T1n +,,I1 1F inn uyh
we are enjoying this year ought to
make MS better givers to worthy, de-
serving persons and causes, and aid
US in being better and truer citizens.
"To him who sends the rain upon
the just and the unjust, let us give
thanks in our hearts, in our acts, in
our homes, in the schools ION Wednes-
day afternoon), and in the churches
throughout the commonwealth. In
word. let us remember that the year
just closing has been the fattest in the
history of the state, especially SO for
the farmer and all those who toll, and
it occurs to me that we ought to be
the best and most truly thankful peo-
pie in all this great and good round
world | believe we are.
Therefore, agreeable to the presl-
dents proclamation, l, Samuel II. Ell
rod, governor of the State of South Da-
kota, do hereby designate Thursday,
the 29th day of November 1906,
Thanksgiving day.
Done at the capitol in the city OF
Pierre, this fourteenth day of Novem'
Der, in the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and six.

PASTORS ARE ON wAa PATH.
Sunday Theater at Aberdeen Arouses
Churches to Action.


Church circles at Aberdeen are
greatly worked up over Sunday per-
formances in the local opera hause,
and meeting of ministers was held
last night to take steps that 1t is
hoped will result in stopping the per-
formances on the Sabbath. Three
weeks ago a company booked to an
pear at the theater did not arrive u<
TIL nearly midnight, and as it was inn
possible for it to remain over Mon
day, the manager Of the theater
agreed to allow 1t to give the per-
formance on Sunday. The theater
was crowded, and long before the
curtain was rung up standing room
only could be obtained. Last Sunday
another performance was given by a
company that agreed to remain over
day, and this has aroused the indig-
nation Of the churches.
At the meeting committee was
appointed to seek legal advice in the
matter, and then the discovery was
made that there is no city ordinance
VI oCdIC law per
formances. This came like a shock
to the reverend gentlemen, and they
decided to act as a committee of the
whole. wait upon the mayor and ask
him to accompany them to the man
ager of the theater for the purpose
Of requesting him to stop future Sun
day performances.
1t has been learned that the man.
ager of the theater sought legal ad-
vice before he, attempted to give the
performances complained about. and,
as there is no law to compel him to
close his place, it is likely that he
will continue the practice unless pub
lie sentiment is aroused to such an
extent that he will be compelled to
heed 1t. The situation is growing in
teresting, and is causing considerable
comment. 1t is the first time in
many years that Sunday performances
have been held here.

FEW AUTO FINES
ARE GIVEN STATE
Accounts of Large Penalties lnflict
ed Are Many, but Only About
500 Reaches Treasury.

TRENTON, Aug. 6:--It may be
that there is a scandal brewing as a
result of the enactment of the new
Frelinghuysen automobile law and
its enforcement by peace officers OF
the state. j. B. r. Smith, the new
commissioner of automobile and mo-
tor vehicles, is surprised at the small
amount of money that has been turn
ed in to the state authorities as fines
for violations of the new law.
Notwithstanding the fact that
there have been numerous accounts
of heavy fines imposed on many au-
toists in different parts of the state,
only a little more than 500 has been
turned over to the state treasurer.
Magistrates may be waiting to get
large sums before making remit
tances or it may be, according to
some of the authorities, that a sys-
TEN of graft has sprung up.
If there is any grating among the
magistrates there will be some sur
brises among these officials in a lit
Tie while. for steps are being taken
by the state authorities to keep tabs
on them and to require an account
ing for all the fines they collect. II
there are found to be any grafters
prosecutions will follow.

G. Cannon. speaker of the house Of
representatives, had no opposition for
nomination.
For the first time in the history Of
Illinois all the primaries of all the
parties were held on the same day, and
voters were given an opportunity to
express their preferences through the
ballots for candidates for United States
senator and to nominate by instruction
other candidates from congressman
down to sheriff.
The new primary law passed by a
special session of the Legislature last
spring gave general satisfaction.
Congressman William Lorimer of the
Sixth packing house, district and
Congressman James II. Mann Of the
Second district both secured large ma
j~orlties in their districts. In both these
districts the feeling was intense. Lori
mer was bitterly assailed because of
his defense of the packers during the
debate on the 'meat bilI' last spring.
Mann was one of the chief opponents

COUNTY COMMISSION
MAY RUN MERCER.

TRENTON, Aug. 6:-Believing
that $1,000 600 a year will be saved

ors of Mercer county are likely to
submit to the people at this falls
election n proposition to abolish the
present cumbersome Board of Chos-

place a county commission of sever
members, under the provisions of the
Strong act.
Some of the political leaders. not
ably members of the present free
holders board, are opposing the plan
because it would cut down the num-
Der of public offices.
1t is not unlikely that the next
Legislature will pass a law to make
the county commission plan obliga-
tory, instead of leaving it to Il vote

TOOL WORKS
ARE BUILDING
Work Commenced on the Factory
TO be Erected Near the City
Hospital.

Plans have been prepared by Ar
chitect Richard Koch for the new
factory of the Foehl tool work, which
is TO be built near the city hospital.
The plans call for a building 5Ox
100. which will only be M story
high. This is done with the idea of
increasing the height at some future
time.
Although the structure will only
be 16 feet high. it will nevertheless
be a large factory, and will employ a
large number of skilled mechanics,
most of whom will be brought here
from Brooklyn, where the main fac
tory is now located.
Forty windows will be on each
side of the structure and numerous
skylights will also help to make the
building full of light, which is need
ed in the manufacture of the deli
cate dentists tools that are to be
made by the concern.
Jensen & Dressler, two local men,
have the contract for the building,
which is to be completed in forty
days.
Surveyors are at work on the
! ground today, and the actual eXcava-
ting will probably be started tomor-
row.

WAGES ON CITY.
FERRY HIGHEST
Threats Of a Strike BY Crews Of
Municipal Boats Bring Out
Odd Facts.

AS a result of a threatened strike
On the part of the d~eckhands on the
municipal ferryboats for higher
wages it transpires that these en-
, ployes of the city are paid much
higher wages than others doing SINH
lar work for private corporations.
The d~eckhands want an increase
from $50 to SIS, and from SIS to
500 a month.
There is now in the employ of the
Dock Department twice the force at
from twenty-five to fifty per cent. per
capita higher pay than is used by
any of the great railway
tions ferries here.
Although the municipality owns
five ferryboats, only four are oper-
ated at II time, one being kent in
reserve always to replace any of the
others which may meet with acct
dent. AS a matter of fact. some
times only two boats are running
and only in rush hours are four
boats operating, the fifth lying up all
day between the busy morning and
afternoon hours. Tire operating
crew consists, in reality, of three
complete crews each manning a boat
eight hours in turn. Thus, each boat
has their captain.
A complete crew is kept idle. on
the payrolls for the tied up substi-
tute, which is usually in dry dock
undergoing repairs or being painted,
as at present is the case with the
Bronx. Therefore the city is paying
for a triple crew for the laid Up boat
every day in the year. The system
was inaugurated by the former COM
missioner and has been continued by
the administration under pressure
from the political powers, who have
found in the municipal ferry a pat
ronage bonanza.
While each boat is provided with
three complete crews, fifteen in all,
there are extra men besides these.
Thus there are sixteen pilot captains
for five boats, or in reality for four
boats, since one is always laid up.
There are fifteen pilot quarter
masters, thirty-three engineers, be-
ing six engineers for each boat and
three over; thirty-one oilers, six
apiece and one over; fifty-six stok-
ers, which means eleven for each
beat and one over; seventy-five deck
hands, or fifteen for each boat, and
thirty water tenders, six for each
boat. Then there are six ship car
penters for these iron vessels and a
pile driver engineer, although why
there should be such an official in
the ferry bureau of the Dock Depart
ment when there are several in the
engineering and construction depart
ments no one on the board could tell.
