NO CHANGE FOR
HERE
City Printing Specifications s.
Framed as To Shut Out All But
One Bid.

Controller Doremus has advertised
for bids from the city newspapers for
publishing the council proceedings
and other official advertising the COM
ing year, bids to be opened Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. AS the control
Ter has held that an evening paper
cannot bid for its morning issues
first and second editions, printed be-
fore noon) In competition with the
first edition" of the News, there Is
scant prospect of any real competi-
ton for this particular award--the
specifications remaining unchanged.
The controller might simplify mat
ters by asking the News to please
step up and say what Ii wants for the
work, as no other newspaper can af-
ford to offer It's entire circulation
against the peculiar privilege accord
ed the News OF naming price for
the relatively small and early portion
of It's daily output known as the
first edition."
The controller ventured the private
opinion a year ago that the specifica-
tions should be changed in the inter
ests of active competition--two papers
having practically ignored the call
for bids. But he did not see At to
call the councils attention to the
matter this year. This leaves the Eve
ming News Association free and UNI
opposed to say what II thinks II ought
to have for putting the proceedings
into the local distribution only OF Its
early morning issue.
II is an agreeable position for an
applicant for city contract to be In,
but there Is no relief so long as the
controllers office adheres to Its pres
ent discriminating construction OF the
specifications and the council permits
the ancient specifications to stand
year after year unchanged.

MUSHROOM TOWNS ARE
GROWING VERY FAST

Aberdeen, S. D., July 12.--The new
towns west of the Missouri river in
South Dakota. on the branch lines Of
the Puget Sound extension OF the Mil
waukee railroad, all are making won
derful growth considering their age and
the fact that in most instances the rail-
road has only reached the towns within
the past two or three weeks. In one
new town on the Firesteel branch, the
frst bank in the town boosted deposits
OF $50, 900 within two days after 1t
opened it's doors, the deposits ranging
from $4,000 downward. Much Of the
money is that of homesteaders who are
settling on the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne River reservations. nearly all
of whom have. a little means above the
amount required to make their first
payment and to get them settled on
their farms. About the first business
institution in the new towns Is a bank.
and the second is a newspaper.

Paul Revere Gives Timely
Warning.

Henry, S. D., July 13.-This r. the
story Of a runaway freight car. which
was, by desperate efforts. headed OF
just in time to prevent a disastrous
train wreck, in which a NUMBER OF
lives would certainly have been lost.
In some un%accountable manner q
switch in the Henry yards was left
open, and the freight car started down
the heavy grade toward Watertown. A
fierce wind was blowing and the car
speedily commenced making good time.
by a fortunate circumstance, James
Paterson, q well known resident or TINS
place, was returning with a party or
friends from an auto trip TO Groton n
while they were near the railroau
track the runaway car dashed past
them at lightning speed. The auto
made a mad run to Henry, where the
local railroad authorities were notineo'
The local agent of the railway com
pany was up town, but he ran hatless
to the depot and frantically called
WATERFOWL, from which point a pas
senger train was about due to- leave
for Henry. The wires were so charged
with electricity hat they refused TO
work, and q telephone line had to be
resorted TO. Before communication
with WATERFOWL could be opened IL
was past the time when tho passenger
train should have left there. Provi-
dence. however, had evidently wilied
that the passengers should not be IN
iured, for the train was late and the
Watertown railroad authorities held 1T
until the runaway a had been located.
The box car was found at q
point near Kampeska. where it a
been stopped in it's mao flight by a
stiff upgrade.

RANGE CATTLE ARE
IN FINE CONDITION

Belle Fourche, S. d.. July 13.-In
spite of the scarcity of range feed, the
condition OF stock was never better
than at present. The very condition
that has made grazing scant has
operated by the law of compensation
to put range stock in better condition
than they have been for years at this
time of year.
When there is abundant rain during
May and June as has been the case for
Elk or eight years until this season, the
grass grows long and ripens late, and
cattle could not take on their best
flesh in green grass. Comparative
freedom from flies has been of great
advantage to cattle this year also.
Generally speaking, stocx is now In
about the same condition 1t usually Is
the last of August. Many stock men
have planned early shipments this
year owing to the poor outlook for
winter feed and the fact that water
holes have been drying up.

BARLEY CROP GOES
EIGHT BUSHELS TO ACRE

Aberdeen, s. D.. July 12.-Farmers
who have commenced to cut their bar
ley crop have been agreeably surprised
at the quantity and quality of the yield.
Many expected the yield would be so
light as barely to repay the cost of
cutting, but they find the crop is going
about eight bushels to the acre. or 80
per cent of normal. The berry is plump
and Of good color. but the straw is
quite short compared to normal years.
The corn crop throughout northern
South Dakota is in excellent condition.
