WANT PAY FOR
SCHOOL WORK
FIVE CARPENTERS MAKING
INSISTENT DEMANDS
CONSTRUCTION OF EAGLE ROCK
BUILDING STOPPED
Architect Makes Tardy Discovery That
the Structure Is Not Up to
Specifications and ls
Unsafe

Five carpenters are making insistent
demands for payment for work done on
the partly completed Washington Park
school, located in the Eagle Rock val
ley on the Verdugo road Work on the
school house has been stopped by order
Of the architect, A. c. Smith, 81 South
Broadway, who declares the building
is not up to specifications and is really
unsafe. The original contractor, Ed
ward Hayes, has been ousted by the
district attorney. At present the build
ing is completed with the exception of
shingling the roof and tower
According to II. +. Russell, one Of
the carpenters, recovery from hayes
bondsmen Is impossible. Hayes wife
and a groceryman to whom Hayes is
said to owe money, signed the bond,
which was accepted as valid and suf-
ficent to cover all loss to the county
or to any persons employed on the
building by the county board of super
visors. 1t is probable the artisans will
begin an action against the county, the
supervisors and the school trustees in
an effort to recover their wages. Be
sides Russell, the men who have not
received their pay are S. B. Kellum, w.
w. Macy, Frank Doll and George
Valenta.
The original contract specified seven
payments of $3.50 each, to be made as
the work progressed. Hayes declares
he has received but one payment.
Others employed on the building say
that Architect Smith made but one in
spection of the building while it was in
the course of construction. Smith de-
nies this absolutely, although he does
not give any explanation of how the
building was allowed to reach almost
total completion before it was learned
that the specifications had not been met
by the contractor.
When Hayes was ousted from the job
the carpenters struck because they had
not been paid. An appeal was made TO
John Hunter, president of the school
trustees. 1t is said that on his repre-
sentations the carpenters went back to
work, but when they failed to get any
pay they quit again. The work is now
being done by day labor Architect
Smith says the entire building will
have to be rebuilt.

SAYS WHEAT CROP
Is OvEKESTIMATED
Official Of Society of Equity Thinks
Farmers Can Control Price.

(Minneapolis JournsD
W. [. Lowthlan of Milbank, S.
d., vice president of the Grain
Growers department of the ma.
tional Society of Equity, and sec.
retary of the South Dakota So
clety Of Equity, was in Minneap
oils today. He believes that the
wheat crop Of Minnesota this
season was over estimated, that
wheat is being held back, aud
that farmers have the price max
ing power n their own hands
this year.
The National Society of Equity
is IN operation, Mr. Lowthian
says, IN fifteen states, viii TO-
tai mem bership of $4,000, in
New York, Michigan. Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois. Ken
lucky, Wisconsin, Missouri 10

la
Unlike the Grange or Farmers
Alliance, he Society of Equity
IN South Dakota, is concerning
Itself, not with the reduction Of
the prices Of The necessaries
that the farmer buys, but with
plans f-r reduction Of the cost of
marketing farm products. and
especially with everything that
operates to maintain or advance
prices for what the farmer has
to sell.
"Ien thousand farmers, all op.
Grating for accomplishment of
the same end, can do wonders,
he continued. when the grain
was growing, and the crop prom
lsed so well, wheat might have
gone to 20 cents "a bushel as it
did in years past. That it did
not go there, but held up so well
was dne, | believe. principally to
the fact that the Society of Elui.
ty had SO many mem bers VINO
were agreed noU to sell their
grain at a lower price,
"There is much less wheat
back on the farms to be sold than
is poputarly supposed. The
farmers want dollar wheat on
the farm, and | believe that,
with the movement now on to
hold back, they will not only get
1t, but they may even get better
than dollar.'

The community was surprised and
shocked to learn of Mr.. Englund's

ed couple of years ago, the men of
the Methodist church will provide a
supper at the church parlors on Sat-
turday evening, Jan. l, new years

the ladies OF the town are urged to
attend it that they may learn lust
how church supper should be got
ten up. The supper will be masculine
in every particular, from the rooster
that is served on the table to the
rooster that washes the dishes. and
the bill of fare is such as will be
worthy the attention of an epicure.

the TWO delegates from this county to
the constitutional conventions held at
Sioux Falls and he helped to frame the
state constitution under which South

IN all u. y. X. aft airs and has
served the local post as commander,
and in 1906 was elected commander of
the department of South Dakota and
acted as suct! for the full term. In
connection with his interest in G. A.
*. matters it may be well to state
that 1t was largly due to his initiation
and efforts that the soldiers monument
at the corner of Main street and
Fourth avenue was placed there, as
he took the matter in hand and made
it his personal work to secure the
necessary funds and superintend the
erection of the monument, now
matter OF civic pride to every citizen
of Milbank

faithful and consistent members Of the

residence in Milbank for innumerable
services, that have endeared him to
the fellowship of that communion, and
they trust that they may long enjoy
his happy, helpful influence in their
associated work.
