that the school tax received from our

we have not asked for schools. We are

Taxa ton. which we are willing 10 have

The Old Tavern property comprises
a frontage on Hull Street of about 100

RELIEF FOR SETTLERS

To bring relief to the suffering
claimholders and settlers in portions
of northwestern South Dakota, Con-
gresham Martin ha- taken up with
the Milwaukee and North Western
railroads the possibility Of extending
their lines in that section, during the
sumner says a DeadwOod dispatch.

ing him to continue west the e~xtention
from Faith at once. He has written

and the settlers would benefit by the
move, especially since the railroads
intend making the eXtentions soon.
Business and commercial clubs are
taking hold of the project and will co.
operate to have the railroads extend
their lines this summer, 1t is possible
that a committee from the Deadwood
Business club will be sent tc Chicago

has not been stated, but the loss OF
property amounts 10 about $4,000 with
only $4,000 insurance. AS the Van

cream factory in connection with their
creamery business it Is very likely
that the loss OF business will amount
to more and their host Of good

for the first time in years. All through
last season, and early this spring it
had sever. feet of water in it. Many
people had not noticed that the basin
was dry until last Tuesday when Gene
Evans started TO pillow right in the
middle of il. The slough extends for a
considerable distance into Genes new
farm that he bought in the spring,
and now he has the chance, he has
taken steps to keep it dry. He is
draining it by means of filing, leading
the water off into the big slough some
distance southwest of town. The re
moyal of this filthy pond is a great
benefit to the whole town as well as TO
the owners Of property formerly
covered with water. and the Sinai
Commercial club, at its next meeting,
should vote Gene a leather medal for

We did not learn Of any farm dwell
ings that were blown down. but in the

capped without more or less damage to
barns and outbuildings. Among the

back it than the declarations we
heard after our May showers hat no
more rain was needed to mature a
crop. Rain can do much good TO
small grain yet, while corr and po-

is reported from North Dakota, so
possibly We may get all We need yet.

passed to the northeast, strcwing trees
