The steamer Perry G. Walker. of the

The Assinaboia and Crescent City

the Walker carried away the lower

great lock carrying the two ships

seriously injured but the Crescent

at the pier on the American side OF

The tax levy made by the county
commissioners last week provides
for raising $24,1l1.83 for county
fund and $17, ,227 .39 for bridge
fund. This will require a levy of
81 mills for county, and % mills
for bridge funds. The state levy
being 4 mills, this will make con-
solidated levy of 10 mills, together
with the usual $3.50 road poll tax
and $1.OO school poll tax.
The bill of the Austin Western
Co. Limited, of $25OO, for 20 Little
Western Steel Graders was paid by
the county and will be charged up
to the various road districts that
take the graders We understand
that only few of the districts have
so far taken the graders. We be-
lieve that in failing to do SO they
are making mistake. Our roads
are badly in need of grading and
the graders would soon pay fol
themselves if properly used.

George W. Egan of Sioux Falls
has announced his candidacy for
governor. In his announcement
he endorses the last national and
state platforms, and in addition
advocates the adoption of recall
system favors election of the state
board of charities and corrections,
the warden of the penitentiary and
the insurance commissioner; fa-
vors the election of q. s. senators
by popular vote, and also an
amendment to the primary law so
as to give each hamlet or city the
right to select its own postmaster.
The Office of governor seems to be
a free for all fight. OF course Gov.
Vessey will be a candidate for re-
election, it is rumored that Mr..
Abel of Huron will also be can
didate, and some of the friends of
