NURSERY MEN PROTEST,
New Law, It Is Declared, Favors Cata-
loque Houses.

Many of the nurserymen of the
state are bitterly complaining of the
provisions of a law enacted by the
'ecent legislature which relates to the
carrying on of a nursery business in
the state.
Among other things the new law
provides that every company, indivi.
1ual or firm carrying on a nursery
business in South Dakota must file a
bond Of $4,000, and hat the head or
proprietor of each nursery concern
must pay a license of $40, with a
small fee for each agent. The chief
objection to the bill is to that clause
which provides that when a contract
IS taken 1t must be specified in shrub,
plant or vine ordered is grown. The
nursery men declare that it is utter.
ly impossible to fill this requirement.
1t is charged by some of the nur-
sery men that the bill was passed
in the interest of nurseries located In
other states which do business in
South DAKOTA by means OF catalogues,
and which, because they do not sell
"by agent" are not affected by the
new law. The manager of one OF
the largest nurseries, in South Da-
kota Jul that his company will
not attempt to do business under the
law.

THROWS OUT PHONES.
Brown County and City Of Aberdeen
in Clash.

IN CIdSn.
The board of county commissioners
OF Brown county has passed a resolu-
ton throwing out of the court house
and other county buildings Dakota
Central telephones until the city Of
Aberdeen gives consent for the ad-
mission Of farmers lines into the city
and to the court house.
The action is the result OF a bitter
war waged for some time between the
city of Aberdeen and the Dakota Cen
trail on one side and the Groton-Fer-
ney Telephone company, a farmers
line, on the other hand. The latter
company has been endeavoring for
some time to gain admission to the
city so that 1t can establish a toll sta
ton and connect with the court
house. After dickering for some time,
until the fight has created two fac
tons in the county, the city council
recently passed a resolution to admit
the Groton-Ferney company, as re-
quested, but under certain restrictions
which would place that company's
existence in the city entirely in the
hands Of the council. This the COM
pany rejected. The next step was
that taken by the county board.
The citizens and business men will
have to take it's instruments, and two
systems will thus be in the city, where
no more than M is necessary. The
country towns, it is reported, are car
rying on a boycott Of Aberdeen job
bers, and the farmers will not buy
goods from here as a result OF the
fight.
