For the first time Gettysburg now
tnows what strict prohibition means.
Owing to a clash between the board
Of county commissioners of Potter
county and the town council of Get
!ysburg, with the granting Of saloon
licenses at Gettysburg as the bone OF
contention, Gettysburg during the last
ten days was a "dry" town. Now,
however, the "drouth" has been end
ed, and the selling Of liquor has been
resumed. 1t appears the town council
refused to grant a permit to q man
who had the backing of the county
BOARD, which, in retaliation, refused to
approve the bonds of other applicants
Tor saloon licenses at Gettysburg.
Finally the town council receded from
is position and granted the license
in the case where 1t had been he'd
Up. The county board then promptly
approved the bond in this case and in
he cases of two other applicants, thus
bringing the dry" period to an end.

been making a survey of the Vermill-

line the cost of protective works to
relieve the valley from over1ows.
When the survey is completed a re-
port will be made to the department
of agriculture as to the character and
cost of the proposed works. 1t will
then be up to the people to build un.
der the state drainage laws or leave
things as they are. The cost per acre
will no doubt be small when COM

Excel Last Years.
In spite of the excessive rainfall in
Dawson county during the months Of
May and June, when more than seven
teen inches fell, the crop condition is
reported to be good under the circum-
stances. Since the ground has dried
out wheat and oats have made a rapid
growth and are not far behind the
season. Oats, early ones, will be ready
to cut in a few days, and the stand is
said to be good. Wheat will be ready
for the harvester in about ten days or
two weeks. The low lands have been
drowned out in many instances, but
it is not believed that the damage I'D
to the present time will go beyond 10
per cent. With plenty Of moisture and
sunshine it is believed that the gener-
al results in the country will exceed
those of last year. Corn is reported to
be nearly as far advanced now as last
year at this time, and every indication
points to a successful crop.

Dakota Central Telephone Company

Arrangement.
The city council of Mitchell has a
nice point to settle with the Dakota
Central Telephone company. When F.
B. E1ce built the first telephone sys-
TEN in Mitchell ten years ago his
franchise was drawn SO that he was
required to pay the city 10 per cent
of the gross receipts after they had
exceeded the sum Of $4,000, and he
complied with the ordinance as long
as he owned the company.
Later the Dakota Central Telephone
company secured a franchise to enter
the city as a long distnce company
and was not required to pay any fee
to the city. The Dakota Central COM
pany finally bought the system from
Mr.. Elce, and for the past two years
1t has declined to pay the fee to the
city.
The company claims that It Is not
operating under the Elce ordinance,
but under the one by which it was
given permission to enter the city, and
the company also informed the couu.
ell that ii did not have any use for the
Elce ordinance, and that 1t could be
repealed so far Is the company was
concerned. The company holds that
the council had no right to exact any
thing of a fee from Mr.. Elce. The
mayor has laid the entire matter be-
fore the city council and it's attorney,
Mr.. Miller, and it is likely that a suit
will be started to recover the fees
Tor the past two years, with the pos
sibility of the case being taken to
the supreme court for a decision.

South, Dakotans Not Hit by Financial
FURRY, Bank Reports Show.
The bank reports OF South Dakota,
both state and national, for several
years have shown a steady increase
in individual deposits, the financial
furry not having had any apparent
effect on conditions in this state.
The report of State Examiner j. l.
Jones, for the call of June 2, shows
deposits In the state banks amounting
to s34, O65, 62O.57. This shows a falling
off of a little more than $4,000 from
the call of March 6, but at the same
time the report shows an increase or
s9O8, 356. 29 over the state bank depos-
its of a year ago. The national banks
show individual deposits for the same
date of $40, 1913, 769. 90. This shows an
increase in the deposits In this class
of banks Of 1892, s40.25 which makes
a net gain in deposits Of all banks OF
the state of 1892, sos .03 from March to
June.
The total deposits OF, individuals in
all the banks Of the state on the first
Of June reached the sum of $54,25S,-
974.66. This is a showing of which the
people of the state may well be proud,
and is a far higher rate of deposits
for each resident of the state than
most of the states show.

The Cars Table Expense.

. The cars table is financed on a
scale of enormous extravaganza. Each
dish provided is put down at 10 ru-
bles and each single article Of food
counts as a dish. 1t may be only a
few olives or a bunch of celery. At
great state dinners the figuring is still
higher. If there are 500 overs set
and lobster patties are on the menu
card the account put in will be for 500
Holsters at -four rubles each, though
one lobster easily suffices for four
or five guests. II ducks from Rouen
are provided, 500 ducks are paid for
at five rubles each, though each duck
affords fou rportions. Withal. the lob
sters are likely to be Of doubtful
freshness and the ducks do not come
from Rouen.

Most Fires From Unknown Causes.

The first annual report of the state
fire marshal, covering the first fiscal
year since the department was estab-
1ished, will show that for the year
there were 42S fires reported in the
state. OF this 140 are from unknown
causes. Defective chimneys, stoves,
and ]stovepipes were responsible for
forty-seven other fires. Gasoline is
called upon TO take the blame for
thirty-five fires; and gas explosions
numbered seven; five fires from kero-
sen explosions; twenty-one fires are
charged to lightning; seventeen to
children and matches, and only three
to fireworks.

Aphis sraminum by DR.. C. Rondani.
1t was reported then as feeding on
oats, wheat, spelt, various grasses and
corn. In 1853 1t was redescribed by
Passerini and placed in Koch's genus

being sixteen feet deep and a good
fishing place. In some way the boy
lost his balance, and the first warn
