PLAN INDEPENDENT
BOOSTERS BUREAU

Pierre. S. D.. April 2?.-Thc state
federation of commercial clubs has
taken up with Governor Nessey the
matter of a bureau of immigration
where it was left by the real estate
associations of the state after they
had been turned down by two legisla-
lures in succession.
In a meeting between a committee
from the federation and the governor,
plans We're discussed for raising funds
with which to advocate in some degree
the favorable agricultural conditions
prevailing in the state. One plan sug-
gested tc raise funds is by the sale OF
a booster BUTTON" and another is to
interest the railroads to the extent
of securing financial assistance either
through special rates or direct ap
preparation.
Governor Nessey, who is member
of the real estate association of the
state. was one of the leaders in the
session of the Legislature in 1907 ask
ing for the modest sum of 100000 with
which To establish the Office of COM
missioner of immigration and perfect
the plan for a boosting campaign. The
proposition was turned down by the
legislature and the secretary of the
state board of agriculture was made
a sort of toy immigration commission
er with slightly increased salary. but
no fund to be expended in advertising.
This condition still prevails regardless
of the demand made by real estate
interests at the recent session. backed
by farming communities in nearly
every section of the state.

the voter could not be determined but
the poll books show 95 votes were cast.
The courts in this state have held that
the vets must have q majority of all
the votes east, which gives the drys q
majority of one. The saloon people
will endeavor to have the two ballots
thrown out counted, and in order to
do this must contest the election and
ask for Il recount. On one of the ball
lots the word yes was scratched out
with a pencil. which would signify that
the intent of the voter was to vote

of the ballots should be counted for

dict acquitting the defendant was re-
turned this morning by the jury in the
case of Anson Wagar, formerly United
States commissioner at Dallas charged
with embeZZlement of trust funds,
which had been placed i'll his hands by
homesteaders. AS the jury took the
case before noon yesterday and was
locked up last night without agreeing
upon verdict. it was quite generally
supposed that a disagreement would
result.
Mrs. Wagar. who has been with her
husband during every moment during
the long trial broke down when YER
dict of acquittal was announced from
sheer joy and relaxation from her long
strain.
Wagar was accused of holding up
nearly $4,000, which had been placed
in his hands With which to make pay
ment to the government for lands en-
tered by homesteaders. He was ar
rested at Fairview, while claiming to
be on his way to the Mitchell land Of

contention was that he had held the
money In trust in cases Of faulty
