Sioux Falls has commenced bust
ness under the commission form of
city government, and the first meet
ing Of the commission held this week
indicated that things were going
along smoothly at the start. The
commission plan places the respon-
sibility for things upon the shoulders
OF one individual, for the various de-
partments Of the ctty's business, and
that individual, from a sense of per-
sonal pride, will undoubtedly attempt
to make a better record than If there
were two or three others upon whom
to shift matters when they are not
going just right. Mitchell will have
just a little taste of the commission
idea, for Mayor Hitchcock has nam
ed but one man on some four or five
committees, and he will have the
whole responsibility of the success
of that department. The success of
the plan in Sioux Falls will be watch
ed very closely from this ground and
zee whether 1t is as good in practice
a in theory.

WANT SALOON LICENSES
Twelve Applications Have Been Made
to the City Council to Sell Intox-
icating Liquors.

When the city council meets to pass
upon the applications for the grant
ing of licenses for the sale of intoN-
icating liquors it will have at least
twelve from which to make a select
ion or grant the whole number.
Just how many licenses the council
will grant is a question. and from
soundings that have been made of the
different members the number ranges
from six to as many as wan. to come
in. A goodly portion of the council
seem to have fixed at about eight as
the proper number hal can run in
Mitchell and do enough business with
out violating the law to get addi-
tional business.
Tuesday afternoon, what is per-
haps the last of the applications to
be filed, We're placed with Auditor
Ness. 1t is probable that a spec
ial meeting of tho council will be
called to take action on the applica-
lions SO they can be granted in time
for the parties to make such i'm
provements in the rooms they are to
occupy.

MAY 6, 1908

South Dakota is getting to be
something of a railroad state, since
the Milwaukee and Northwestern
roads have shot across the eserv
ton to the Hills country. The Min
neapolis & st. Louis road, which did
some building last year, and went
over to the banks of the Missouri
river, is now preparing to cross that
river with a million dollar bridge at
LeBeau. Other indications point to
the fact that another road will cross
the Missouri on Its way farther west
some time this year. Even Yankton
is hoping for its southern road to
be built, and activities are noticeable
down that way In arranging for
building a bridge across the muddy
stream.

STARTED THREE new LINES
Reported That the Milwaukee Has
Started Construction on Thee
Lines.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad company has been not
ed in times past of starting railroad
extensions without taking tn pub
lie into its confidence, and accord
ing to a report received in this city
it has already undertaken the con-
struction of three lines of railroad
leading into new territory.
While j. H. TAFT, a division freight
and passenger agent for the COM
pany, was in the city Wednesday he
gave the statement that the Milwau-
kee company now has three lines
under extension and that. they had
men at work throwing dirt for the
roadbed. One line, and the most inn
portant to Mitchell, is the extension
of the Rapid City line from Belvi-
dere northwest to Bowman, n. d.,
on the Pacific coast line. The pos
sibility Of this line has been spoken
of several times and two weeks ago
President Earring, Mr.. Mckenna,
with several other officials, made a
drive over this route. The suppos-
ition is that they started the graders
to work. The construction of this
line means that coast line business
from Chicago will be sent around
through Mason City, Sanborn and
Mitchell, on through Chamberlain
and thence up the road to IN
meet with the coast line.
The other two lines are projected
from Wakpala, the first station
across the Missouri river. From that
point a line being built to Dickinson,
N. d., and the third line is from
Wakpala directly west to the Yellow
stone park. Mr.. Taft made the above
statements without any reservation
and stated emphatically that the
graders were already at work on
these three projected lines.

WEsLYANs DEFEAT MINERS
Local Collegians in a H%a,dfought
Battle on the Diamond Defeat
Rapid City Boys 5 to 4.


BY means of some punched and
timely hits Dakota Wesleyan won
over the State School of Mines by a
score of 5 to A in the first local game
of the season. For the first three in
nings Things looked bad for the locals,
the visitors hitting every ball
and scoring four times, but for the
rest of the game they struck a pace
that shutout the miners in the fol-
lowing eight innings.
At 3:45 Will Scallin, holding the
Indicator, called the game. The line
up of the visitors was: Tolsan, pitch
er, Hartgering, catcher, Saville, first
base, Boland, second, Atkins, third,
Holly, shortstop, Dickey, right field,
Conway, center, and Jeffries, left
field. The locals, Kirkpatrick, pitch
err, Hardy, catcher. Wells, first base,
l.. Smith, second, James Hardie,
third, Farmer, short stop, Baker,
right field. Mcknight, center, and
George Sheeks, left field. The first
inning was eventless, all finding the
ball but none getting to third.
IN the second the Wesleyans had
an ascension and the miners scored
three times, aided by an error by
Farmer. Mcknight for the locals
walked to first, stole second, and was
caught out on third. The two other
men were beat to LIST. Harteringer for
the we%sterners, uncorked a two bag
ger and scored in the third, two men
tanning. No Wesleyan reached first.
In the fourth Kirkpatrick struck
the pace that vas fatal to the sue
cess of the visitors and no n reach
ed first. After McNaught had stolen
third Through a tumble Jimmy Hard
lie walked, Wells singled and the bas-
es were full with no one out. George
Sheeks came to bat and with a time
ly hit to the out field and brought in
two runs.
For the fifth inning a visitor got
as far as second, one tanning and
the other dying at first. The locals
failed to touch the initial sack. In
the sixth the miners stayed at home.
Hardie knocked out a safey and
stole second. Wells sacrificed and
Hardie scored. Sheeks forced Wells
off third closing the inning.
One Rapid City man got as far
as second in the seventh inning, three
others though not getting a glimpse
of first base. Kirkpatrick made a
safety but could not get home. In
the eighth three miners We're beat
by the ball to first. Hardie again
landed on a two Dagger. this time hit
ting the fence. Wells singled, scor-
ing Hardie but was caught out him
self at third. Sheeks scored, winning
the game.
Just to show that his intentions
were all right, Kirkpatrick frightened
up a bit in the ninth and famed his
three men as fast as they came to
bat. Wesleyan did not take her in
ming.
Credit should be given the visitors
for the excellent teamwork they dis
played and for their conduct both on
and off the field. At no time in the
game was there any displeasure
shown, either with the decisions of
the umpire on the bantering of the
crowd. They lost the game by rea-
sol of the individual work of some
of the locals and the fast pace set in
the fourth inning and continued to
the close.
