Is THIRST PARL02S
FOR Sioux FALLS
Sioux Falls Dealers Think One to
700 People is Enough.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Sept. Sat a
recent meeting of the city councl
resolution was introduced at the
request of the Sioux Falls Retail
Liquor Dealers association provid-
ing for the limiting of the number
of saloons in the city. The resolu-
ton provided that none of the pres
ent saloons be interfered with, but
that when license expired no new
license should be issued until the
number of saloons would be cut
down so there would be but one sa-
loon to each 700 Inhabitants.
Estimating rAe population Of
Sioux Falls at $4,000, the ultimate
number of saloons would be twenty
one, which is as many as can be
conducted successfully and without
violating the law. A rumor has
gained circulation that the commit
tee of the city council 10 which the
resolution was referred has decided
not to report it to the council for ac-
ton by that body. TIL ese who fav-
or the gradual reducinr of the num-
Der of saloons may MAKE an effort
to have the committed report the
resolution to the city council for
such action as the council sees fit.

|B|G COUNTY SEAT WAR
| IN EASTERN DAKOTA
Parkston Out to Capture Honors in
Hutchinson County.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. S.-The
preliminary stages of what prom
Uses to be a hot county seat fight in
Hutchinson county have been
reached by the filing Ct a petition
with the board of co; nty commits
sioners of that county asking that
the question of county seat remov-
al be submitted to the voters at the
election in November.
The petition was filed by citizens
of the town of Parkston, who hope
to have their town selected as the
town to make the race against Oil
vet, the present count. seat. For
some weeks the citize,.s of Park
ston have been industs ously circu-
lating the petition, viii 4 is mon
ster in size and which is said to con-
tain the signatures CT more than
1,4OO of the bona fde residents Of
Hutchinson county.
The county commissi lers will be
required to carefully canine every
signature and deterr' ? whether
any of those who signed the petition
were ineligible to attach their sig
nature. 1t lies largely with the
commissioners whether or not Park
ston will be placed upon the official
ballots this fall as competitor of
Olivet for cunty seat hclors.
The principal claim made in be-
half of Parkston is that it is situated
on railroad, while Ctivet, which
has been the county seat for many
years, is situated some miles from
the nearest railroad lii. The res
idents of Olivet are y itching the
movements Of the Parl ston people
very closely and will :.,ake an en-
ergetic fight to retain the county
seat in the event that the county
commissioners decide to submit the
question of county seat removal to
the voters.

NATIONAL FOREST BUSINESS
TRANSFERRED 70 FIELD
To Be Moved to the Ficld-Stupen-
dous Task. ....-.

Washington, Sept. Announce
ment of the names of the cities
which are to be the six administra-
tive headquarters of the U. S. Forest
Service, along with the lists of the
men to be in charge of the various
Offices, is expected to be made be-
fore another week has passed.
The task of removing practically
all Of the national forest business
to the field seems a stupendous one
to person not familiar with the way
the work has been planned. Those
who have had chance to visit the
Washington Office of the Forest Ser
vice during the past two months
have learned that there Is an or
ganized forest training school run
ming in the big brick building on y
street and that the men VINO are to
go into the field will have received
weeks of training in their new duties
before it is time for them to leave
the city. Other field officers have
been ordered into the local Office ana
before the time for change of adj
ministration the thorough prepare
ton will make it possible for the
men to take their places and conduct
their offices as though the work had
been going on for months.
Actual transfer of the national
forest business to the field will be
made gradually, SO that there Will
be practically no interference with
the routine work. When through,
the change of administration to the
six district headquarters will mean
much in expediting and rendering
the forest work more effective. The
saving of time in getting action on
matter relating to administration
will be one of most important ben
efits. Now, it takes from four days
to two weeks to get mail to Wash
ington and receive reply at the va
rious points in the fourteen national
forest states. With the mail going
to six central cities in the West in
stead of to Washington, there will
be a marked saving in time in get
ting action on matters relating to
the administration of the forests and
the benefit is sure to be felt by every
forest user.

night following, Rustln pointed out
to her on a street car man whom,
he said, had promised to do the
deed, saying that it would be done
that night. Later she identified
Charles Davis, a clerk in a local
bank and member of prominent
family, as the man referred to by
Rustin.
Davis was placed on the stand and
testified that he attempted to COM
nit suicide on the night in question
by taking drugs furnished by Rustin
but denied that he promised to kill
Rustin or that he had anything to
do with the latter's death. Davis
had not been arrested.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. s.-The cor
oner's inquest into the death of DR..
Frederick Rustin, whose tragic death
at the door of his home in this city

puzzling problem, developed several
sensations today. First was the
testimony of Mrs. Rice. the woman
who was last known to be in Rust

death. She declared that for some
time he had been talking of COM
hitting suicide but that he wished
to disguise the act so as to protect
his life insurance for the benefit cd
his family. After much importantly
he induced her to promise to kill
him and then take her own life
Arrangements to this end were made
for Friday night, Aug. %. but hel
