NO CHANGE in LICENSES.

Voting in South Dakota Removes Few
Lids.
Municipal elections were held
throughout South Dakota Tuesday, the
prevailing issue being liquor licenses.
Returns indicate little change in the
present standing of the prohibition
and saloon forces. In Sioux Falls the
principal issue was on the granting
of thirty-year franchise for the con
struction and operation Of street
railway system, which was ratified by
large majority.
Two issues relieved the monotony Of
an otherwise unusually quiet election
in Sisseton-the fight for mayor and
the saloon question. Three good men
were up for mayor-H. l.. Cortelyou,
Peter Burns and Andrew Marvick.
Cortelyou won by ~ votes after a
spirited fight. Something of a sur
prise was In the vote on the saloon
question, the city going dry by Sc ma
iority. A strong anti-saloon sentiment
has been at work in the city, yet it is
safe to say that the temperance peo-
pie as we'll as the others were some
what surprised at the count. The
good people got out and rang the bells
and blew the whistles and praise
was held in the evening in the Metho-
dist church.
Mitchell - The city election was
exceedingly quiet. The only issue at
stake was the licensing of saloons and
a light vote was cast, it being con-
ceded that license would carry. The
antj-license people made no campaign
against the saloons, and license car
ried by majority of $685. which was
40 less than a year ago. T. A. Duncan,
Joseph Koch, P. H. Kelley and A. II.
Doyle were elected aldermen without
opposition. l.. e. Stair, L. Plotner,
George E. Foster and George Like
were elected members of the board OF
education. The electric light fran
chise ordinance, which was to have
been voted on was withdrawn a week
before election.
Milbank-Frank Meehan was elect
ed mayor ovev w. H. Roberts. l.. H.
Bentley was defeated for alderman in
the First ward. There was no con-
tests on the other candidates. Ii
cense carried by II majority. The re-
suit was victory for the regular Or
ganization over a combination OF
Crawfordites and Prohibitionists.
Sturgis-The Republicans elected
two aldermen, two members of the

urer, city assessor, police justice and

PUZZLE IN BALLOT.
Judge Must Decide If Mutilation Is
Cross or Erasure.

Judge Jones of the state circuit
court in Sioux Falls has been called
upon to decide an interesting cleo
ton contest involving the Office Of
town treasurer at Jefferson, Union
county.
The principals to the contest are
Michael Ryan and Philip Bernard.
The former was the nominee for the
office on the Citizens ticket, and re-
ceived 81 votes. He contends that one
Of the 81 ballots counted for his OPP
ponent was intended to be erased by
the voter who cast it, who had made
q cross before the name Of every other
nominee on the Citizens ticket except
that of Ryan. Ryan, on the other
hand, contends that the voter in ques-
ton in endeavoring to make a cross
before his (Ryan's) name accidentally
punched a hole through the ballot
Judge Jones has not yet fixed the
date for the hearing in the case.
Should he hold that the ballot was IL
legally counted for Ryan, there will
be tie and who will hold the Office
will have to be decided by the draw
ing of cuts.

9Th December, 1906.
To the Editor.
noor Cir

To the Editor.
Dear Sir,
willingly give you the result of my
four and a half years experience in
the District of Saltcoats.
Previous to coming here I farmed in
Baldwin, st. Croix County, Wisconsin,
and as have heard great deal about
the Canadian Northwest, I decided
to take a trip there and see the coun-
try for myself. / was so impressed
with the richness of the soil that I
bought half section of land about
five miles from the town of Saltcoats.
moved on to the land the following
June and that year broke 90 acres,
which cropped in 1904, and had 80
bushels wheat per acre. In 1905, with
an acreage of 100 acres, had "a bush
els wheat and IS bushels of oats per
acre. In 1905, with Its acres under
crop, I had rs bushels wheat and IS
bushels of oats per acre.
From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that I am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. Of course, have had to work
hard, but I don't mind that when I
get such a good return for my labor.
To anyone thinking about coming to
this country I can truthfully say that
If they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trifles, they are bound to
get on. Some things would like diff
ferent, but take the country all round,
don't know where to go to get bet
ter.

ly all the counties as far north as

the provisions Of this law, and San

districts. And yet it does not take an
old resident Of the state long to recall
the time when it was considered
doubtful If any of the Jim river val
ley north Of Hutchinson county ever
would secure enough rainfall to as
sure crop raising. There is no ques-
ton that while theoretically there is
no increase of rainfall, the state ap-
