TRAPPER FINDS SIGNS
OF A HARD WINTER

Pollock, S. D., Nov. 24.-Jack :
Sanderson, an old-time trapper,
predicts a long, cold, hard win
ter. He says the gophers are
digging their holes deeper than
usual this year, and that the
fur of the Jackrabbits is excep-
tionally heavy. Other old-tim-
ers point TO the fact that the
muskrats are building their
HOMES very deep in the water
as proof that the winter will be
severe with a late spring.

!ieye THE new schedule will bring a
reduction in the total receipts from

to uae finance committee, by vote of
the council.
The primary object OF the ordinance
is to place the collection cf occupa-
tion tax OIL a legal basis so it can be
enforced in t(e higher co.srts. 1t
will put the occupation tax on a more
equitable basis, also. as tae amount

Mr.. Reid then introduced Ordinance
No. 219, which is the sprinkling ordi-
nance. practically as passed by six
votes at a recent meeting of the coun-
Gil In view OF the fact that many
consider six votes insufficient to spass
such an ordinance and on account
of the fact that there was a whole
street left out of the first ORDINANCES
owing to an error in copying, IL WAS
decided to Ie-introduce the ordinance,
corrected and taking in the streets pc
titioned fer by Ed g. Gibbany AMI
others. Tie ordinance provides for
a yearly sprinkling tax OF 12 cents per
fIoat foot on streets running norta

foot en- streets running east and west.

it and investigate it more thoroughly.
Mr. Wyllys said he was in favor OF
sprinkliag. but objected to having
corner lcts pay more tlan inside lets
as he did rot consider it fair.
Mr.. Reid answered Mr. WHY'S Of
iecIicn by explaining his opinion or
the law rs being that the property on
front streets alone could not be tax
cd more to pay for sprinkling on side
streets. Mr.. WHY'S said with due
respect To the lawyers present, that
he knew as good "a lawyer as any
present who said that the cost of
sprfnkling around a given block could
be divided equally among the lots I'm

Mr. CoJIInglam explained his vote.

ling and most of them are willing to
pay for it, He said that ne believed
tie present ordinance was legal ami
he was in favor of giving the people
what they want. All the others pres
ent seconded his sentiments in tie
way they voted.
Mayor Veal plainly showed his dis
pleasure over the action of Messrs.
Bryant and Wyllys. He stated that
although ne had offered to advance
the money needed to buy the extra
sprinklers and equipment for sprink-
ing, ne would not advance it unless
a law was passed t,lat was legal and
would -rake the return of the itslai

that he considered the acticn of

Chicago, Nov. 22.-The two factions
of the Elgin Board of Trade-the but
ter producers and the butter distribu-
tors-have definitely come to the part
ing of the ways. Arbitrary action by
President John Newman in declaring
out of order resolutions presented by
]. P. Younger, of Chicago, precipitated
contest the only settlement of which
may be dissolution of the Elgin board
Two of the largest Elgin producers
are with the Chicago men. Their sup
port has given heart to the Chicago
men, who declare they will push the
fight until their resolutions are either
adopted or rejected by a vote of the
membership.
The resolutions were direct out
growth of the investigation of the board
last summer by the United States SEN
ate committee on the high cost of liv-
ing. They provided for two sweeping
changes, as follows:
Election of the president, secretary.
treasurer and six directors on the
board, instead of the election of five
directors to select the president and
other officers
Appointment of the quotation COM
