1t is expected that at meeting OF
the board OF railroad commissioners
next week Wednesday the matter OF
a new schedule of freight rates for
the territory west of the Missouri
river in this state will be disposed of,
and shippers given some relief from
the present very high rates.
The attempt of rafting lumber
from Wasta to Pedro on the Cheyenne
river was not a success, owing to the
depth of the water and the many
sanGbars. The RATS went about four
miles down from Wasta and struck
on sandbar, 80 the lumber was taken
from the river and hauled overland.
A writ Of mandamus was granted by
Judge Smith, Of the circuit court,
ordering the commissioners of Lyman
county to submit the herd law ques.
tion at special election, or show
cause why they should not do so. AT
subsequent meeting of the board it
was decided to appear before tn e
judge, and show cause for not calling
the election. The supporters of the
herd law in that county hoped to have
the question submitted at the time of
the primaries June 9th, which would
save the expense of a special election,
but the commissioners seem to be
afraid of the cars.
The report of the controller of the
currency for the call on national banks
in South Dakota on December last,
shows that the financial furry, which
was then distressing the country,
did not effect the banks of this state.
From the time of the call in August
to that of the December call, when
the conditions were the worst, the in
dividual deposits in the national
banks of the state Increased S702, S43.
The national banks showed a net in
crease of 2,730, 401 from January to
December of last year, making a
showing of $40, 92s, 322 in December
of last year. The state banks no
doubt did their share in increasing
the bank deposits, and the total
would make good owing.
In response to invitations sent out
by the Kadoka Kommercial Klub,
delegates were present from the vari-
Gus portions of the sold Jackson
County" at the meeting Wednesday
night. The object of the meeting was
to secure an expression from every
portion of the old county, and to get
. united action. The matter was dis
cussed In thorough manner and the
expressed was the same as
the Kadoka delegation set forth at
the Philip meeting; that county
division was not favored. at this time
but when the time was ripe for divi-
sion that the original Jackson county
he again set of as . county" The
local Klub was instructed to employ a
competent attorney and have every
thing ready for action to get the
portion south OF the base line set off
as county, when the ''empire of
Stanley" is sliced up.--Kadoka Re-
porter.
Emigrant cars have been crossing
the river at Pierre at an average rate
of little better than a hundred a
week for March, and are being unload
ed at every station between Fort
Pierre and Rapid City. The record
at Wendte was thirty cars for the
past twenty days, and the stations OF
Philip and Midland show far greater

increases the number OF settlers over
the days when each claimant could
take half section through pre-emp-
tion and timber culture entry, and
follow these six months later with q
homestead. 1t did not take so much
OF . population to fila township in
those days, and the land was taken
up more rapidly. But now it is each
man to quarter section, and the
settler concentrates his efforts to ge,
as much return as possible out of The
quarter instead of skinning over three
quarters In ship-shod fashion.
