BAN ON SOFT DRINKS
ATT YANkTON RESERVATION

Sioux Falls S. d., April 3.-United
States Indian Agent Taylor, of Yankton
agency, has issued an order which has
created something of sensation
among the Indians belonging at the
agency.
The order prohibits the sale of pop
or other soft drinks to the Indians at
the agency. The Indian agent states
that the order was issued with the OBJ
ject of preventing some of the Indians
from spending the amount of their
monthly checks almost entirely on soft
drinks, instead of purchasing necessi
ties, as they should. 1t appears that it
has been the practice of some of the
Indians to spend practically all of their
money for soft drinks, such as pop.
Agent Taylor also states that
he has we'll founded suspicious
that through the medium of these
soft drinks intoxicating liquors have
been sold to the Indians by some un-
,soTupulous parties who reap good re-
enue from their trade with the In
Idians, and that the only way he
could stop the practice was to ahso-
lutely prohibit the sale OF soft drinks
to his Indians.
Drunkenness has been on the in
crease among the Yankton Indians dur

determined that this shall be reme-

CAR SHORTAGE TO LAST

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 1.-Of1-
cials of the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.
Paul Railroad company, as an lllustra-
ton of the seriousness of the situation
which confrontS the railroad compan-
les, have officially notified the state
board of railway commissioners that
more than 10000 cars belonging to the
company are at present on other roads.
and no earthly power can get them
back until the blockadeS are relieved.
AT many points on the road mills have
been compelled to shut down, while at
other places they are forced to oper-
ate on half time or less owing to the
shortage of cars.
There does not appear to be any
grounds for hoping that the car short
age situation will be relieved in the
near future, but in the meantime the
South Dakota railroad commissioners
will do everything within their power
to see that there is an equitable dis
tribution of such empty cars as are
available in this state.
Do Little But Talk.
While in the case of car shortages
the board can do little beyond calling
the attention of division superintend-
ents to the matter, the board endeav-
ors in cases of discrimination in fur
nishing cars to adjust matters to the
satisfaction of those making the COM
plants.
During the meeting of the board just
held here about 200 farmers in the vi
cinity of Letcher notified the board they
have organized a farmers elevator
company, with the intention of estab-
fishing an elevator at Letcher and that
following the usual procedure they will
make application direct to the Mil
waukee Railroad company for site on
the right Of way of the company at
that place. In the event that the ap-
plication is not granted they will carry
the matter to the state board of rail-
road commissioners.
