President =. f. Sherman Of the
South Dakota Central, in speaking of
the extension OF that road from Rut-
land, stated that twenty miles of the
road had been contracted for, which
would carry the line to Arlington.
Just what point would be aimed at
after Arlington was left Mr.. Sherman
would not state positively, but an
nounced that the road looked at Water
town with favor. The grading outfit
which has been stored IN Sioux Falls
during the winter is being loaded and
will be shipped to the end OF the line
as soon as the condition OF the water
in the river will permit. Brookings
was at one time most likely to secure
the extension from Rutland, but it
thought it bad something better in an
electric line and dropped the South
Dakota Central proposi ition. Sioux

BIG sMoKEsrACK FRUSTRATED
Fell Against House-SeveraI Narrow
Escapes from Horrors.


Among the plants which suffered
most was the new Mitchell brewery
now in process of erection. The steel
and concrete chimney eighty-five feet
high, of such strong construction that
it was thought to be impregnable to
the elements. was torn off close to the
ground and crashed in a mass of ruins
across the street. In its fall the Chin
hey tore the side from the store Of
William Grams, and had it been a
few feet longer it would have crushed
this building like an eggshell, killing
the people living in the fats in the
upper story. The new brewery build
ing proper also suffered, a part of the
walls going down.
The storm then crossed the streets
and ripped portions of the roof from
the old brewery building. At this point
also a large cottonwood tree, two feet
in diameter, was torn out by the roots
and hurled over the cottage of John
Fuller, crushing the building. This
was one of the most narrow escapes
from fatalities. Another large tree fell
on the residence of Frank j. Holmes,
where it now lies in imminent danger
of breaking down the building.
The residence Of T. J. Farlan, across
the street from the Holmes house, was
unroofed. The Segelke & Kohlhaus
Manufacturing company suffered
heavily, the smokestack being blown
down and part of the roof of the big
factory going. In the same vicinity the
sheet iron roofing was torn from the
sheds of the Colman Lumber COM
pany, aud part Of the roof of the plan,
ing mill was carried away. The roof
of the John James foundry also went
in part. A big warehouse filed with
sewer pipe and other merchandise was
completely demolished, as though torn
down by wreckers.
In the retail district the roof of the
Tanberg Auto company's building was
torn off and hangs over the front of
the building. The storm swept down
on st. Joseph's cathedral, the largest
church building in the city. which was
at the time filled with people for the
early morning mass. One of the high
steeples was torn loose, fell upon the
shook the structure and terrified the
people inside. and fell with a crash up
on the walk beneath among a crowd OF
people rushing for shelter from the
wind and rain. 1t was almost miracu-
lous that none was killed at this point
The German Lutheran church suf-
fered damage which would have
wiped out many lives had the
storm been three hours later.
Two big chimneys crashed through
the roof carrying many tons of
steel and bricks down into the audi
tcrium. where the worshippers would
/ have assembled a few hours later.

Oil Depravity.
IT GRINDS THE HOME BUYE=

Nothing Get Away That
IL Can Corral.

Washington, Aug. u. - In the
business of selling petroleum products
in foreign countries the price policy OF
the Standard Oil company has been
apparently to sacrifice the interests OF
the American consumer for the pur-
nose of securing the Standards foreign
business" This direct charge is made
in an official report to President Roose-
welt by Herbert Knox Smith, commits
sioner OF corporations, in submitting
to him further results OF the investiga-
ton Of the operations of the Standard
Oil company by the bureau of corpora
tons. Part three Of the report, deal
Ing with determinations in prices has
been made public by Commissioner
Smith.
We Have to PAY the Freight"
Commissioner Smith asserts that the
Standard, ENJOYING practically an abso-
lutte monopoly of the oil trade in this
country, has charged such prices as
st could thereby eXtort and the Amer
lean consumer has had to pay these
prices. Meeting competition abroad il
Saas given the foreign consumer enor-
mously lower prices, and it has used
canthe profits made at home to maintain
position abroad. so that the American
consumer has been severely discrim-
mated against Cor the purpose of main
tanning - not the dominance Of Ameri-
can export trade but the dominance
OF a particular combination which has
used its power frequently and con-
spicuously to the disadvantage Of the
American public"
Competition Makes Difference.
Extraordinary statements are con
tanned in the report respecting the
varying prices of oil in this country
il IS pointed out that as the Standard
does business directly with the retail
dealers it is in position to make differ
ent prices on the same grade of oil in
different localities, and It actually
takes advantage of that position. II
localities where the Standard has nj
competition it exacts immensely high
bS prices for it's products than il
