The secretary of state is receiving
remittances almost every day asking
for copies of the 1911 session laws,
but cannot fill the orders for the first
eason that the laws will not be print
ed until about the first of June, and
for the second reason that the last
session provided that the laws are to
sold to the public through the offices
of the county auditors, and prohibited
the issuance of any advance copies Of
the law by anyone. Those who desire
copies of the new laws will have to
possess themselves with patience until
the new laws are officially printed,
and then go to the office of the auditor
of the county to make their purchases.
and sending money to the secretary
of state will not help their ase in any
manner whatever.

A. H. Orvis of Yankton, who was APP
pointed by the state supreme court as
referee to take the testimony in the
disbarment proceedings against the
law firm of Robertson & Dougherty, Of
Dell Rapids, now has commenced the
work of arranging the testimony,
which recently was taken in Sioux
Falls, preliminary to making a report
of his findings to the supreme court.
The testimony was quite voluminous
and it may be several weeks before the
supreme court can take action in the
case. One of the members of the firm
is P. w. Dougherty, assistant attorney
general of South Dakota, and counsel
of the state board of railroad COM
missioners. Both himself and Mr..
Richardson always have been men of
the highest standing, and it is the
opinion of many who heard the testi-
mony in the disbarment case that the
prosecution made a poor showing.

BY the vote of last Tuesday, Du.
pree was placed on the map as anoth-
er county seat town for this state,
with the county Of Ziebach in COM
plete operation. This action wipes
from the map for a second time the
name of Armstrong as a county. True
there is a very small corner yet left
under such a name, but the last legis-
lative session provided for a vote at
the next general election for the abb
sorption of that corner by Dewey
county. With the organization of lie
bach the only portion of the state
north of White river which is not
within the boundaries of an organized
county is this little corner Of Arm
strong and 1t will be taken out of the
list after the election next year, as
1t is not large enough to be included
in a county of itself.
