TELEPHONE COMPANY
WANTS FEDERAL COURT
TO ENJOlN YANKTON

Sioux Falls, S. D.. April 27.-After
having been in progress for a number
of months, the telephone war at Yank-
ton has been transferred to the United
States court in this city.
The Northwestern Telephone COM
pany, winch maintains an exchange at
Yankton. seeks an injunction to re-
strain the municipal authorities OF
Yankton from interfering with con-
templated improvements to the COM
pany's system and the extension of
the system to portions of Yankton
which now are without telephone facil-
tiles.
1t is c%ontended by the city authors
ties that the franchise granted the
company Many years ago has expired,
and that If 1t wishes to improve it's
system and extend it's lines it must
first apply for and secure a new fran
chise. Tho city authorities further con-
tend that the telephone company now
has no right to the occupancy of the
streets for it's poles and wires, and
threats W been made that II the
company attempts to extend its lines
and improve its system, it's poles n
wires will be forcibly removed from
the streets of Yankton.
The telephone company, on the other
hand, claims 1t has a lawful franchise
and right to the streets.

This will bring about 1900 men into
camp in addition to the South Dakota

That no appointments would

No additional complaints of car
shortages ave been received by the

u thing of the past, especially SO far as

The attorneys in the case involving
the construction Of a sidetrack by the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
company at a point between the towns
OF Salem and Canova have been urged
by the railroad commissioners to sub.
init their briefs before the next regu.

Fate of New Town in Doubt.
In the matter of the application for
the construction of a sidetrack and the
starting OF a new town on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad, about
midway between the towns Of Scot
land n Trip, the board took the case
under Amusement until May 10. Both
the people of Tripp and Scotland and
the railroad company are stoutly OPP
posing the proposition to construct the
sidetr1ck.
The board considered a petition filed
by the Aurora Farmers Elevator COM
pany, which applied for an elevator site
on the right of way of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad company at Au-
rora, Bookings county. Unless the
matter is adjusted in the meantime, a
hearing in the case will be held at Au-

the result of tests which have just

very thorough tests of his seed corn.

RAILROAD RETRENcHEs
BECAUSE MINE is IDLE

Deadwood, S. d.. May 1.-The Bur-

retrench on it's expense account owing
to the business depression due to the
closing down and flooding of the Home
stake mine. One freight crew has been
taken off between Deadwood and Edge
mont, and it is expected that the crew
running on the narrow gauge lines
from Lead to Piedmont and Memo will
be taken off this coming week. The
force of men in the yards in this city
has also been materially reduced.
The principal business of the road these
days is in it's passenger department, as
the freight shipments are small.
