Dynamiting and the destruction OF

times, but so far there has been no

the fact that over 100 special officers
have been on guard in the city day

Real Thing Big Guns in State

Aberdeen-Uhcle Sam may not be
paying any attention to newspaper
stories regarding possible trouole with
Japan, but there are any number OF
Aberdeen people who are fully con-
viaced that he is fully awake to the
situation, and is quietly preparing
for trsuble, should trouble come his
way. This conviction was BROUGHT
about by the passage over the Mil
waukee coast line, through Aber-
deem. bound for a fort near Seattle,
Wash, of twelve mammoth disap-
pearing guns, of the latest types
right from the factory at Alliance,
o. Each gun took up a whole freight
car, and there were twelve freight
cars carrying the guns and attached
to a fast freight train bound to the
coast city as fast as a mammoth
Mallet engine of the latest type could
haul IL.

o GOOD ROADS
Legislative Committee of Conference
Make Draft Of Bill


Redfeld-A legislative committee
appointed by the Good Roads Con-
ference of South Dakota has been
In session here considering legs
lation relative 10 the public high
ways to be introduced at the pes
ent session of the legislature. Stn-
ator Norbeck and Representative
Issenhuth met with the committee. A
number of the committee had prepar-
ed bills to be submitted, but after go
ing over the measures proposed a bill
was prepared which, it is thought,
will meet the approval of the good
roads advocates and enable the coun-
ties and townships to build and re-
pair county roads by contract and I'M
der competent supervision. The new
law proposes to abolish the road over
seer and make the township super
visors directly responsible for the
roads in each township. A more i'm
portant feature of the new law will be
the payment of the fall taxes in cash
instead of in labor, The law also pro-
vides for the building and repair Of
roads by contract in each township
and also contains the provision thai
where the expenditure proposed is
more than $4,000 the amount shall
be paid out of the county road fun
and under county supervision. The
county commissioners are autNorize'
to levy a road tax not to exceed 5
mills, and this may be increased to
ten mills If authorized by vote OF the
county. In addition to this each auto
mobile owner in the county is taKsc
at $500 per year to he paid in'o the
county fund. this assessment to be in
lieu OF all other road and bridge taxes
II is believed that this meas re viii
allow the county and township author
tiles to cooperate in TIE maintenance
OF good roads and compel the automo-
BILE owners to pay their share Of the
expense.

old YEAR REVIEW
FROM FIRST TO LAST THE OLD
YEAR RAN ON EVEN KEEL
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
THE HORN OF PLENTY FULL
Q We're Sections of Better than
Average and Others of Short
Crops but Totals Made
Showing Good

Plerre-The clos ng year has been
notably free, in South Dakota, Of
incidents of exceptional news inter-
est. 1t has been a year without
sensation of any magnitude. The poll
tics of 1910 will be longest remember
ed and the campaign of George w.
Egan for governor in the June Il
mary will, perhaps, be the incident OF
the political history most deeply i'm
pressed upon the recollection Of the
people.
The aggregate crop has been good,
heaping some sections with a super
abundance, while other portions of
the state have had less than an aver
age and a few localities feel the pinch
of crop failure. Not that q crop fail
ure is any more the sign of distress
and restitution which was certain to
follow in the pioneer days. Crops are
an incident now where they were the
sole dependence in the early days.
The settlers upon the new home
steads, too, have come with a differ
ent notion from the plans of the old
er pioneers. Almost without excep-
tion the early settler came with the
breaking pillow and turned over all Of
the sod possible and hurried into
wheat growing. The new settler comes
to farm with the sod on" and only
breaks up a very little, placing his
dependence upon live stock, which
prospers upon the range. On the
whole the state has piled up a trA-
mendous reserve. Nearly $40, 900 900
has been added TO the bank deposits
during the year. The farm produce
of the year is worth $1S1, 900 900, and
there are only 583,SSS people among
whom 30 divide 1t.
The assessed valne of the property
OF the people continues TO show pro-
gressiye growth each year, md for
1910 reached the figure much greater
than ever before, Being placed at
1897, 702, $50. This is about ~one-fourth
it's teal value. or a fortune OF about
$2,325 for each person in the state.
Perhaps 2G0 miles of new railroad
have been built but the development
along that line has been large. The
Moreau and Cheyenne divisions of
the st. Paul and the Blunt-Gettysburg
connection of TIE Northwestern and
the Belle Fourche valley extension OF
the same company embraces the most
of II.
Public health has been excellent and
there have been no epidenics OF note,
though a diphtheria scare closed the
schools in Lead for a time in the
autumn. The death rate CONTINUES
the lowest of any community within
the registration area of the census
Several notable men have, no wever,
been called during the year. The first
of these was Hon. Edward G. e i2-
son of Elk Point, president of the
regents of education. Two former
congressman also succumbed during
the year. Mapor John A. Pickle-, who
served from 1889 to 1899, and Hon.
Freeman Knowles, who had one term
In the heyday of populism. Rather
more than the usual number of net
able persons are in the death list.
