Anti-Saloon Decisions.

The state anti. i.saloou league thought
they had long advantage given to them
by the supreme court sustaining the de-.
cision of Judge Whiting that no saloon
licenses could be granted exceptin places
where favorable vote had been taken
each year on the question, and that the
result of such vote would only be ef.
fective for one year. But they have now
been doubly armed with the supreme
court sustaining Judge Frank g. Smith
Of the Fourth circuit in his action de
claring that saloon men who had violat-
ed the law by Sunday selling had for
feited their licenses. This allows them
TO secure such evidence against any sa-
loon man in the state and put him out
of business. The decision is all the
more stringent as it holds in effect that
the keeping open of saloon and max
ing sales is all that it is necessary to
prove, and there need be no long tangle
over just what was sold. With this de-
cision back of them the anti saloon peo
pie can prevent any Sunday selling at
any place in the state, as no saloon man
will take chances on having his license
revoked just to please few Sunday Gus
toners, and the profit on such sales will
not compensate him for the loss of his
license.

The Mica Industry,

The mica factory is running smoothly
the old crew is back again, all except
two who are barred for bad behavior.
The girls and boys are working on the
pound basis and making from $l.00 to
81 80 per day, when the company has
mica enough on hand to keep them
steadily employed. This of late has not
been uniformly the case, but Supt. Pyne
has returned from his trip to Denver
and will probably be able to so arrange
matters that there will be no shortage of
material hereafter 1t makes it little
bad when there is work today and none
tomorrow, it cuts down the amount of
earnings for the week and if continued
in that way it renders the job undesir-
able, and it is hard to keep help under
those conditions. 1t is reported that
mica is plentiful, both in the New York
and also in the White Spar, and the re-
serve OF mica increases as the develop
ment progresses. Mr.. J. Pyne, the Supt,
has long years of experience as prac-
tical miner, and is no doubt the right
man in the right place. The Fish and
Hunter building is not yet ready to re.
ceive the boys, but it is expected that
they will be removed to their new quar-
ters in a few days.

Decision is Reversed.

The decision of the circuit court in the
case of Horace Clark, et al, against the
County of Lawrence for a reduction of
taxes for the year 1905, has been re-
versed by the state supreme court. The
circuit court found for the plaintiff The
state board of equalization in 1908 rails
ed the valuation of town lots in Law.
renee county 1919 per cent. Horace
Clark and others took the matter into
court and Judge McGee decided that
the state board did not have the power
to raise the valuation. On the Both Of
August, 1906, a restraining order was is
sued by which the county treasurer was
enjoined from receiving more than eight
ninths Of the taxes for the year 1905.
The supreme court decided that the
state boards higher valuation must
stand, and in consequence all those who
have paid taxes since August last must
pay the additional amount on the extra
valuation of u! per cent.

A recent Pierre dispatch says, the
state live stock commission at a meet
ing in this city devoted a great deal Of
attention to the matter Of eradicating of
mango or scabies from the cattle of the
state this spring. At the 1905 session of
the legislature this commission was Gre
ated and $4,000 was appropriated for
the purpose of dealing with infections
in live stock. South Dakota enacted a
law and inaugurate1 an active campaign
for the eradication of this disease. Dur
ing 1906 fully so per cent of the disease
in South Dakota was eliminated. This
result was accomplished at an expendit-
ure of only one-third of the amount ap-
propriated, which would have been alb
solutely impossible without the practical
assistance of the federal authorities. The
federal inspectors have been at work
since the close of the last dipping sea-
son, 80 far as weather conditions would
permit, endeavoring to locate and quar-.
antine infected herds.

Commercial Club Meeting.

The Custer Commercial Club came to-
gether on Tuesday night last to hear
the report of the House committee, and
the finance committee and discuss such
questions as might properly come be-
fore the meeting. AS these committees
were not ready to report they were
given more time and directed TO report
at the next regular meeting which oc-
ours on the second Tuesday in May. 1t
was suggested that in view of the fact
that 80 many of the members are and
would be absent for sometime on &C.
count of their various duties, that it
would be advisable to reduce the expen-
ditures of the Club for the time being.
1t was therefore moved, seconded and
carried that the monthly dues be reduc-
ed from 500 to $l.0O per month, COM
mencing April lst and continue at that
figure until further notice. This was
thought expedient as so many of the
miners were busy in the mines, and so
many of our ranchmen were busy put
ting in their crops that they would not
have time to attend to Club business
until later in the season.
1t was further voted that as the mica
factory here was constantly calling the
attention Of the Club TO matters touch.

The Rapid City stock Meeting.

At the annual meeting Of the Western
South Dakota Stockgrower's association
held in Rapid City on the Sth, 9th and
10th, the old officers of the association
we're reelected whose names appear as
follows:
President-C. X. Howard.

Stenger, VIM. Reed, J. b. Bender, Z. w
Thode, T. B. Irwin, ]. W. Streeter.
The secretary's report showed that the
association is in splendid financial con.
dition with a present membership of
667 and a probability of this being add
ed to during the coming year. The av.
erage price of cattle for last year was
higher than for any previous year since
1899. Although there were not as many
cattle sold as in 1905 the total amount
received was greater owing to the high.
er price. The enforcement of the estray
law was shown to have been a great
benefit to cattle raisers. During the
year the members received SS76,722 81
for cattle which had been wrongfully
shipped and this amount would not have
been recovered but for the enforcement
OF the law. The legislative committee
appointed last year secured the annull-
ment of the range law and brought
about the enactment of the herd law.
This re-estabIishes the right of cattle
men to allow their herds to Craze on
government land under certain restric.
tions.
There was large attendance present
and much interest taken in the proceed
ings and particularly in the report of the
secretary.

The Denver Mining Reporter gives a
brief description of the tin mines recent
ly discovered in Texas, and outlines
their character. From this we gather
that the formation in which the tin is
found is about the same as that in which
it occurs in the Black Hills. That is in
the form of cassterite, found for the
most part in dikes of coarsely crystalliz.
ed granite, albite and quartz. The mines
are located in the Franklin mountains
south of the Rockies and lying east of
FL Paso, Texas. From what can be
learned thus far the occurrence of the
tin is not extensive nor rich, and we
have probably heard the last of it.

SETBACK IN MARKET.
Foreign Influence Considered Largely
 Responsible.

New York, Sept. ,23.-The rise in se- curities prices, which showed signs of gaining headway towards the end of last week, was brough to a rather abrupt pause to-day. The influences which produced this great effect were traceable principally to foreign sources The London market gave clear intimation early to-day that it was not prepared to adopt fully the assumptions of definite clearing of the money outlook, which became prevalent in New York last week. ow- ing to the improved position of our own money market. The Bank of England was obliged, again, to share with Berlin and Paris the open market supply of gold and money and dis counts hardened in London Sterling exchange in New York also advanced. The effect was to revive again the con sideration of the requirements before the money markets. which will be nor mally large for the next month or six weeks. The October first settlements

 New York by the great producers ac the equivalent of fifteen cents pound

 tion of the Standard oil hearing, ex- pectation of a decision in the Chicago

 that a determination was imminent on the troubled problems confronting the

 contributing factors to the backset in the market.
