South Dakota Commission Pub.
fishes Findings on Completed
Investigation.

Pierre, S. y. Dec. 9Th report of
the board OF railway commissioners
for the period ending June 80. 1910, con-
tains accounts of 147 cases which have
been acted upon by the board during
the year. The recommendations for
legislation during the coming session
deal mostly with the statutes govern
ing telephone and express companies.
The commission advises that sections
4 and 6 OF the statute governing tele-
phone companies requiring all compa-
MES to file information In regard to
rates. be amended so as to include all
telephone lines in the state. AS the
law now reads, companies not in ex-
tstence at the time OF the passage or
h statute have an opportunity TO
dodge the obligation imposed thereby.
Section 10 CT the statute. which pro-
vices FOR a penalty i'm case of disobe-
dience, is not general enough in It's
scope n should be amended so as
to include officers and agents or com
panies Infringing on the statute.
At the last session a law was passed
requiring the telephone commissioner
TO report the volume of business
valuation OF the plant OF every COM
pany operating in the state, for which
there wal no appropriation made.
An appropriation should be made this
winter TO offset the expense of COM
piling this information regarding the
physical valuation of the telephone com
panies. The statistics gathered under
the provisions Of this law could be
made the basis for rate regulations and
taxation OF telephone companies. Full
and complete Jurisdiction is desired by
the board for the regulation Of express
companies.
The scale OF warehouse fees recon-
mended by the board provides for a
minimum rate of SO for warehouses
with capacity under 10. 1000 bushels. For
warehouses with capacity from 10000
to 15, 900 bushels fee should be Sc; from
5000 TO 10000 bushels, 81; over 10000
bushels, $40. Recommendations are
included in the report giving the board
powers in joint rates and schedules or
tariffs.
The physical valuation of railroads,
compiled by Mr.. Carl G, Witt, engineer,
shows a total valuation OF all railroad
property in the state 10 be $91 $685. 32,
until January 30. 1909. an verag Of
y23, 1888 per mile. The reproduction
value of the holdings of the railroads,

JENKINS STORE
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Grocery on Beech Street and Several Barns Burned and Residents of :,
 NeighbOrhOOd Are Aroused.

A fire believed to have originated ih hay shed adjoining the store early yesterday morning almost completely destroyed the grocery of N T. Jen- kins, on Beech street, between Third and Fourth avenues. Owing to much delay in turning in the alarm the fire had large headway before the department arrived A number of other outhouses in this d:strict were partially damaged by the fire.
 It is not known what the damage to the building and stock will amount to The building, small one-story frame structure, was owned by Mr. Jenkins, and was located on the lot on which h's home is located From the hay shed, which adjoins the store building at the rear, the theory is that fire Burned up to the store tanned br a slight breeze, rapidly consumed the building. Before the arrival of the fire department the fire had reached two barns in the rear of Drew Whites yard, and had consumed other outhouses in MT. Jenkins yard. The firemen arrived in me to prevent the destruction of MT. Jenkins residence, which was ats burpil g silently at ,h, rear end.
 Before the arrival of the fire wag ons the door of the store was broken open and some of the stock was being carne ed out. A large crowd of scant- ily clouhed citizens, awakened by the noise of the fire, were on the scene. The water pressure was good and it was not long after the arrival of the firemen before the fire was under control.
 The firemen remained for soADe time with their hose stretched exun9 uishing the burning embers. In the meantime Cotton Belt train No 2, wh oh reaches this city from tho south at 1:12 o'clock arrived over the tracks on West Fourth avenue. A hose had been stretched across Fourth avenue, and this was cut into by the train which had not been warmed.
 Mir. Jenkins carried line of fancy groceries and some feed stuffs. His insurance, which he carried with Pinchback Taylor amounted to $2,400 the building being insured for $50o, the fixtures for $700 and the stock at $1,20O The fire caused much anx- iety among residents of that section Of the city, as sparks were flying freely.

PEOPLE WISE TO
 WIZARD OF WISELAND

Those who were not at the Elks Theater last night must have been wise to "The Wizard of Wiseland,' which held the board there last even- ing but had they gone there they would have heard one of the sweet est singers that has been heard on the local stage this season, in the person of Miss Maria Nilsson. She was truly the redeeming feature of the show and one that left a good impression among the theatergoers, who would ordinarily have gone away kicking themselves for their mistake. There is nothing else to win favor in the Wizard of Wiseland unless it is the catchy music and the parody sung by Nat Phillips. True not much was claimed for the show by the advance man, other than it was musical funny. The ad- vance promises as to the music were fulfilled, but the comedy we'll reference to that would be bet ter left unsaid.
 James J. Barrett, who had the nerve to make his appearance as Ham Sloe, the butchers boy, was truly a ham-not the ham what am but the real peace of porK, the kind that makes you call in the physician after being attacked with cramps If that butcher boy had only been butchered before the show hit town. the crime might have improved the cast. Nat Phillips does some of his songs we'll, but his dutch dialect does not fit in with the character he protrays-or rather tried to pro- tray. The best thing about Nadyne Shannon was her "hobble skirt Her name is pretty, >toe, but her acting was really cruel. Lester Cuneo was far from being funnie but he was longie being about 6 foot 3 Miss Nilsson is entirely out of place She should use her excellent voice to better advantage. It is well trained and of the sweetest quality There was one consolation in the fact that the show did not demand the advance prices, only popular p1ises being in effect.
