South Dakota. We thought every
thing was high there, but when we
return, if conditions have not chang
ed, we will enjoy those bargain
prices" Clothing is extremely high,
like everything else, and all the stores
have their big sale days and advertise
their cut prices, and it is then that
we get somewhere near Dakota prices.
Everyone is certainly after the coin,
and | guess they get it, too, for you
are SO far away from any other coun-
try that you have to pay their prices

o BANK CHECKS

Some time ago the Clipper reprint
ed an article from the Sioux City
Journal in which it was claimed that
it was a penal offence to put in circul-
ton after Jan. LIST, a check for less
than one dollar. The matter has been
referred to U. S. treasury department
and Assistant Secretary Norton, who,
in making his ruling, says:
There is widespread, but entirely
needless, concern on the question Of
the legality of issuing a check for al
amount less than one dollar.
"The law about which this question
was raised was passed forty-seven
years ago and has been in force and
effect ever since. In 1862 in order to
raise funds for war purposes, this law
was passed, placing postage stamps
in general circulation as money. 1t
was important hat this device should
not be interfered with by individuals
issuing notes or checks to be used as
fractional currency. A clause was
therefore inserted in the law to pre-
vent this.
A bank check is an order on 4 ban
ker to pay a particular sum of money,
1t is not designed to be put into cir
culation as a substitute for money.
There is no conflict with this ancient
law in issuing checks for any amount.
however small. This has been the
construction placed upon this law by
the Treasury Department from the
PASSAGE of the act in 1862 down to the
present moment"

of this county along the G. & N. w.

Given who snent many wears ON this
division, and who about a year ago
moved his family to Portland. Oregon,
thinking they might make that section
their permanent home. Below we
print a letter from Mr.. Given to the
Huron Herald which shows what he
thinks of that country:
"Well, we are busy watching it rain
every day and looking to see if we
can't get just n little glimpse of the
sun. We have seen it for two hours
during the past two weeks. 1t is
raining hard tonight and from all
indications it will be a couple of
weeks more before we will see it again.
Give me old South Dakota with all
her blizzards and sunshine.
SIN the summer here the dust is a
foot deep when you get where il isn't
paved, and in the winther you have a
ffCot OF mud underfoot anli a loot Of
water over this. It's splendid coun-
try in which to take a shower bath
any time during the winter months.
I'm not surprised at the old-time
Oregonian being web.footed and a
moss-back. During the summe the
dust accumulates on their backs and
in the winter the rains come and the
dust turns to vegetation and moss,
When the sun really does shine out
here for a short time the Oregonians
all climb out like land turtles to sun
themselves.
