HIGHER SALARIES
ASKED BY TEACHERS

The seventh grade teachers appeared
before the special committee from the
Board OF Education yesterday, and
asked that the seventh grade be In
cluded with the eighth in class Of the
salary scale. rather thar with the sixth
grade in class 4, and In this petition
they were Joined by their eighth grade
co-workers. It was shown that the de-
mands are much greater upon seventh
grade teachers than those Of the sixth,
but the salary scale remains the same
under the present act There is, there
fore. little incentive for advance from
sixth to seventh grade.
The committee also considered sug-
gestioDs of a pension fund. a uniform

ELKS' NEW HOME
OFFICIALLY BEGUN
Impressive Stone Laying
Despite Drilling
Rain.

With short but impressive ceremony,
attended by hundreds Of loyal Elks and
their families and friends. the corner
stone OF the new Elks Home, on II
street, between Ninth and Tenth streets
northwest, was laid yesterday afternoon
at 6 o'clock. The drizzling rain which
fell made IL uncomfortable for the spec
tators and participants in the cere-
monies, but by no means dampened the
ardor of those who participated, or in
terfered with the plans as originally
made.
The ceremonies were in charge of
Hugh F. Harvey, the exalted ruler of
the Washington Lodge. The Marine
Band was present, and played patriotic
airs at intervals during the ceremony.
The principal address was delivered by
former Senator George l.. Wellington,
of Maryland, and an active member OF
Cumberland Lodge.
Headed by the Marine Band, the Elks
marched, several hundred strong, from
their present home, on Z street, a few
blocks away, arriving at the new site at
about 5:45. After briefly outlining the
purpose OF the gathering. Exalted Ruler
Hugh f. Harvey introduced Chaplain
Warren L. Pushaw, who opened the ex-
ercises with prayer. Secretary Richard
A. O'Brien then read a list Of the art-
cles and records which were TO be de-
posted in the cornerstone.
The workmen lowered the stone into
place. and the building Of the handsome
structure which is to be the home OF
Washington Lodge, No. 10, was officially
begun.
Senator Wellington delivered an elo-
auent address. He took up and analysed.
one by one, the three cardinal principles
of the order-love of God, love OF coun-
try. and love of fellow-man.
Exalted Ruler Harvey then formally
pronounced the cornerstone laid accord
ing to the laws and rituals OF the oroer:
and to the strains Of "The Star-Spangled
Banner the gathering arose and dls-
persed. The Elks' choir rendered num-
Der of selections during the ceremonies,
ACCOMPANIED by the band.
1t is expected that at least $50 VIII
be added 10 the building fund OF the
Elks as a result of their recent jubilee
at Benning. Full returns have not been
received by the treasurer, NJ. q. Nc
Cormick. but he expects TO know the
exact profit later in the week

MAY END DELAY OF CAPITOL PROJECT

The bill introduced by Senator Good
ner of Pierre for the new capitol, pro-
vides for the raising of funds by the
sale of the capitol lands, and in case
the amount so raised by Dec. /, 1908,
has not been sufficient for the work,
the state is called upon TO supply from
the general fund, $4,000 for the COM
pletion of the work. The total esti-
mated cost of the building is $500, 600.
In the bill materials produced in the
state are TO be given a 5 per cent adj
vantage over materials from outside
the state, where they can be used in
the building.
1t is hoped that the building can be
completed in time for the legislative
session OF 1911.
The capital fight started with the
admission of the state in 1889, and has
been in existence from that time until
the present, and in all its phases will
not be finished until the construction
work on the new building is under
way. The first fight was a free-for-ali
mix-up between Pierre, Huron, Water
town, Redfield, Sioux Falls, Mitchell
and Chamberlain. In this, Pierre won

he temporary honor. In 1890 the con-
test for the permanent location was
open TO all, but only Huron entered
the field against Pierre, losing the
contest. From that time on, at prac-
tically every legislative session until
that of 1905, some town in the state
attempted to reopen the case, but new
er succeeded until the 1903 session,
when the Legislature voted To reopen
the case by substituting the name OF
Mitchell for Pierre. In a spectacular
contest, in which the different rail-
roads of the state took an active part.
The people voted by a majority OF
about 5000 to let the capital remain
where it first was located.
While work or a part of the founda-
ton has been completed under the
provisions of a limited law of two
years ago, the whole matter is again
at a standstill until the present SEES
sion takes some action, which Will
be for a complete building, with the
commission given both the power and
opportunity to secure the necessary
funds to carry out the plans, which are
based on those used in the Montana
building.

Beginning Friday afternoon the

the Northern Pacific, who were badly
in need of fuel and provisions, was

Death and Suffering.
That the present storm has carried
great suffering and death in its trail
there can be little doubt.
Many towns throughout the state
were already short of fuel and the biz
zard aggravated this condition, but II
is among the homesteaders that the
greatest suffering exists, and scores OF
those have undoubtedly persisted in
the storm.

IN REVOLT.
Farmers Of Lyman County Opposed to
Division.


The farming population OF Lyman
county are "up in arms" over the pro-
posed three-county scheme for that
county. They are holding meetings
and appointing delegations to come to
Pierre to oppose the bill, which they
claim is only a county seat boom
move for the towns Of Presho and
Murdo. One delegation arrived at
Pierre only to find that the members
had left for their homes, but they say
they will be back to oppose the move.
The bill which has been introduced
proposes 10 revive the cid name or
Presho and Pratt, which were counties
before the consolidation scheme OF
1897, the central county to take the
name of Presho and the western n
Pratt. While some of the farmers are
willing that the plan go through in
case it is presented to a vote before it
becomes effective, others are opposed
to any action whatever now.

The town of Whitewood, nine miles

efforts to get the new Methodist acad-

from twelve to twenty acres each, have
been offered as a bonus, together with
a cash subscription, which will not be
less than $4,000.
The advantages of location, climate
and good moral conditions have been

TAX GOES TO SMALL TOWNS.
Telephone and Telegraph Income
Ruled on in South Dakota.

Attorney General Clark has been
asked by the states attorney of Clay
county to decide in what way the tel
ephone and telegraph tax which goes
TO that county shall be disposed of.
The question at issue was whether it
would go to the county general fund
or be distributed among the smaller
taxing districts in which the proper
ties are located. The attorney gen.
eral holds in effect that there is no
law to warrant its being transferred
into the county general fund, but that
it must go to the smaller taxing dis
tricts, such as the cities, Incorporated
