Arkansas. has opposed the measure. and
noting the absence Of the opponent Of all
trusts. Senator Overman, suggested that

spite the absence OF Senator Jet.

for Customs Court.

The Senate stood by it's conferees on
the urgency deficiency bill yesterday and
approved OF the report fixing salaries Of
the judges Of the Customs Court of Ap-
peals at 5000 per annum. It insisted on
asking for another conference with ref
erence to the $4,000 appropriation for
the immigration commission.
Senator Depew, of New York. sought
to have the Senate reject the conferees'
report fixing the salaries of the Judges
Of the Customs Court at $1,000. contend
ing that the compensation was not suffl-
cient 10 obtain the right kind Of men
for these important positions. but he was
outvoted.

fixing the salaries of the Customs Court
judges is for the fiscal year, and he hoped

ROOTS AMENDMENT RADICAL.
Proposed Plan Would Change OBJ
feet of Postal Banks Bill.

There Is unusual interest in the pro-
posed amendment 20 the postal savings
bank bill offered by Senator Root. That
It would change the character Of the plan
contemplated by the pending administra-
ton bill introduced by Senator Carter is
admitted.
The amendment is brief, containing IN
the print about six lines. In short, it re-
auires the investment of the funds IN
government securities whenever such Sc
curities are available. otherwise their
deposits in banks under conditions pro-
vided by the pending bill The Senator
from New York believes the amendment
will remove all doubt as TO the constitu-
tionality OF the pending measure.
But the Senators admit the primary OBJ
ject of the bill would be changed by Mr.
Roots amendment by making the ultimate
object the investment OF funds in gov
eminent bonds instead OF depositing them
in banks.

ITEMS IN THE BILL.

The anxIously awaited river and harbor
bin. carrying a grand total Of S42,255.276-
SS5, 1855 in Immediately available cash
and s7,2Oe,49O in continuing contract APP
propriations-was reported to the House
OF Representatives yesterday by Repre-
sentative Alexander. of New York, chair
man of the River and Harbor Com
mittee.
Although no regular rivers and har-
bors bill has been reported since 1901"
says the committee. in the report accom-
panying the measure, the present bin is
less than one-half the amount OF its pred
ecessor, because an honest effort has
been made to present a measure carrying
for the most part only such approprla-
lions as can be expended during the next
fiscal year"
One important feature Of this report is
the committees recommendation that
river and harbor bills be enacted annu-
ally instead OF every three years. as has
been the case, with one exception. since
1896.
Would Reduce Estimates.
1T is believed the time is now ripe 10
return 20 the annual BILL" says the re-
port THE advantages which must re-
/ suit are a material reduction in the
amount OF the estimates submitted by
the Secretary OF War. since those esti-
mates can be confined 10 the necessities
/ Of a single year and not contain any
/ provision for uncertainties OF legislation
which would require a fund or a force
sufficient TO carry on the work beyond
the limit Of a single year. This gives
better estimates.
The pending bill is far in excess OF
the needs Of an ordinary annual bill.
/ Three years have elapsed since the pas
sage OF a regular river and harbor bill.
/ and accordingly many Improvements and
much larger appropriations have been re-
quired. When bills become annual the
necessity for many large appropriations
will cease. while the annual maintenance
will be divided by two and often by
three"
End of Projects I'm Sight.
The end OF new as well as old projects
is in sight, the committee declares, add
/ ing the interesting statement that all
projects now under Improvement amount
TO S252Ol7OO0, including the Mississippi
River from Cairo to the Head OF the
( Passes. In addition, there are projects
which have been favorably reported by
the engineers, but not YET adopted by
Congress, amounting UP TO last Monday
to SS7,54S. 500, or a total Of $685.. $4,000. De-
Quoting the present bill, the total amount
would be $279, 10000
Many Of the recommended projects are
of lesser Importance than those under
| Improvement. and will not be undertaken
for many years, some Of them probably
not IN this generation. But II it were
necessary 10 complete all these projects,
those now under Improvement. as well
as those recommended, but not yet
adopted, an annual bill Of $50, 000, 900, in
Guiding maintenance, would bring them
all TO an end in twelve years.
| While admitting that new projects are
being recommended daily. the report says
it is very noticeable that each year the
demand for new projects grows steadily
less, since the more important projects
tall over the country have already been
! undertaken"

Rapid City-It seems entirely prob

touch with the northern part of the
state through the building of another
branch line by the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul into Rapid City. When
the northwest portion of this state
commenced to attract so much atten-
ton two years ago and has since been
fast filling up with settlers, the Mil
waukee cast envious eyes on the terri
tory lying between Pierre and Rapid
City and running north and south to
the North Dakota border line. Ac-
~cordingly a survey was made last
year, and since then complete plans
have been made, it is understood, for
the building of this cutoff, which
would be 200 miles in length and ex-
tend to Yarmouth, N. D., on the north,
and bringing this section of the state
in direct connection with the Mil
waukee main line west

SAFE BLOWN AT LANE.

Lane-Four cracksmen entered the
Citizens State bank at this place at
about 2:30 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing and blew the safe with nitro
glycerin. The two explosions awak-
ened many of the towns citizens, and
before the men could effect an en-
trance into the cash chest they were
frightened away. The guests at a
hotel near by were all aroused, but
the yeggmen drew guns and managed
to escape. They stole a buggy and
team belonging to the Methodist minis
ter here and started toward Aberdeen.
No trace Of the horses could be found
today. State Fire Marshal Craft ar
rived with bloodhounds and they will
be put on the trail. The robbers got
a good start, however, and their cap
ture is doubtful.

which recently swept over the region

now are engaged in the work of as
pertaining the amount of the various
losses so they can make restitution
by paying the amount of the damage.
Both are in comfortable circum-
stances, but 1t is probable that neither
will have much of this worlds goods
left when they have made settlement
with the last of the victims of the
fires. 1t Is roughly estimated that the
losses In the aggregate will reach not
less than $4,000. and may run consid.
erably over that figure. Another of
the fires which did considerable DAM

AFTER OIL

A. n. Cook of Vermillion, food and
drug commissioner, has issued the
following circular to the linseed oil
dealers relative to the pure sale of
adulterated linseed oil:
Notice is hereby given that the COM
missioner will recommend prosecution
of all parties found selling "adulter.
ated linseed OIL as "linseed OIL in
South Dakota.
Samples of oil have been found in
the state, which the dealers have pur-
chased from the American Linseed
Oil company and the Central Linseed
Oil company, both of Omaha, Neb'
raska, which have proved to be highly
adulterated with mineral oil. There
are probably other companies that
are guilty but, up to the present, we
have not detected the fact if it exists.
In this connection, l desire to say that
the American Linseed Oil company is
not the same as the American Linseed
company, which latter, | believe, is
doing a legitimate business.
If we had a national law governing
interstate commerce in linseed oil, it
would be possible to prosecute com.
panies found shipping such adulter-
ated oil into the state; but since we
do not have such a national law, this
department sees no other way of
enforcing the law except % prosecute
such dealers as may have the same
in their stores and are offering it for
sale to the public. The fact that this
oil is sold at a price which Is a few
cents lower than the current price
for linseed oil should BUS the sus
picion of the dealer at once that such
oil is adulterated and illegal.
We have already recommended the
prosecution of two parties for selling
adulterated linseed oil, and the cases
are now in the hands of the states at.
torneys. 1t is expected that by the
close of the year practically every
county in the state will be inspected;
hence no section Of the state will be
exempt.
The South Dakota supreme court
recently handed down a decision in
the case of the American Linseed Oil
company VS.. Wheaton sustaining the
law passed by the legislature of 1907.
This law required that barrels, casks
and other receptacles In which linseed
oil was shipped or sold should be
branded so as to indicate whether or
not the contents were pure linseed
oil, or whether they were adulterated.
Our law requires that adulterated
linseed oil must be sold as compound
linseed oil' and that every package
must bear a label giving the per-cents
OF the various ingredients contained
therein. 10
In order to aid dealers in securing
unadulterated oil, this office will be
glad to examine, according to the tests
laid down in the U. s. Pharmacopeia,
all linseed oil submitted during the
! coming spring and summer, providing
the same is sent by prepaid express
and is accompanied by the name and
address Of the company from whom
1t Is obtained. About one-half pint OF
OIL Will be necessary for an analysis.
