AT former land registrations at differ
ent places in this state, the gambling
element has thrived at the expense of
those who gathered to register. j. w.
Witten, the government representative
in charge of the work, is determined
that this shall not be the case IN the
registration for Mellette and Bennett
county lands, and has called upon the
state authorities to assist in the work.
Alter a conference on rhe part of Gov
ernor Vessey and Attorney General
Johnson, they have decided to call upon
the local authorities to use every means
to prevent gambling at the registration
points, and have further notified such
local authorities that any complaints in
regard too gambling at that time will
mean the sending of a special prosecu-
tor from the attorney generals depart
ment to take up the matter of law
enforcement, and that the local author
tiles will be held responsible for any
failures on their part which will require
action on the part of the state legal
which may be caused by
their failure or neglect to enforce gam
bling laws. In other words all the
power of the state executive and legal
departments will be turned loose on the
situation where the local authorities
fail or refuse to shut out gambling at
registration points.

Enforcing the Food Laws

Prof. A. l.. Haines and 0. 0. Frary,
of the state university, are doing some
active work for the state food and drug
department during the summer as
inspectors and chemists. Mr.. Haines
filed a complaint against l.. Bauch, a
butcher at Sioux Falls, on Thursday,
for adding borax to sausage. Martin
Bergh, states attorney for Minnehaha
county, prosecuted the case. Mr..
Bauch pleaded guilty and was fined SIS
and costs. Five other butchers of
Sioux Falls were previously fined 500
and costs for selling sausage contain
ing sulphites, preservative which is
deterious to health. All of the butch
ers of Sioux Falls have now been
prosecuted and should be good in the
future.
Mr.. Frary. caused $50 pounds Of

in their actions by the general depart
ment. The department has taken from
B. NJ Herman, Joe B. Baker, X. /.
Coffey and Logan Fain, the right to
appear in government land cases, this
being especially strong on Fain, as he
has secured an appointment as United
States commissioner at Timber Lake.
Since such action by the government,
Gov Vessey has been called upon to
act in regard to the notarial commits
sions of these men, and will in a few
days set date of hearing on an order
to show cause why their commission as
notararies in the state should not be
cancelled. 1t is alleged that the origi-
nal trouble at the Gregory office grew
out of actions of the above mentioned
notaries ana the allegations appear to
have bee: made strong enough that
they are likely to II Sc their right to do
business as notaries in the state.

Freight Free of Charge

State officials, old settlers and COM
mercial bodies have petitioned railroads
entering South Dakota to make spec
iaI low commodity rate on hay, grain,
potatoes and other food commodities.
The appeal has fallen on willing ears
in the freight departments of two roads,
the Milwaukee and Omaha, and both
have made arrangements whereby feed
crops will be transported free during
the drouth. J. t. Clark, vice president
of The Omaha, and J. T. Conley, assist
ant general freight agent of the Mil
waukee, have ordered that hay and
other forage be transported free from
Minneapolis and St. Paul to needy
South Dakota settlers.
d. NJ. Dennison, general freight agent
of the Minneapolis e. ST. Louis road,
will take tn matter before w. G.
Bierd, vice president and general man
ager, and it is probable that road will
make similar concessions.

Corn Is Burned

Professors A. n. Hume and Z. w.
Olive. of the South Dakota Agricul-
tlraI college at Brookings, have been
investigating the prevailing tip burn"
of corn, Ia was first thought that
possibly some fungus disease was
affecting the corn fields but micro
scopic examination of the diseased
plants did not disclose the threads of
fungi or bacteria The plant physiolo-
gists of the college who have been
studying the condition thoroughly
believe that it is due entirely to the
lack of moisture, and the long con-
tinued driving out of the ground.
Theirs is apparently no remedy.

Burned to Death

During heavy rainstorm o. Friday.
the l7-year-old son of Tony Neal, who
resides about eight miles north of Bow
die, was burned to death in a barn
where he undoubtedly took shelter from
the storm.
1t is believed that during the pro-
gress Of the storm lightning struck the
barn and set it on FIRE, at the same
time killing young Neal, or stunning
him to such an extent that he was
unable to get out of the barn.

assessediagainst the Wells-Fargo and
American express companies for 1909.
If this is upheld on the appeal, which
attorneys for the state declare will be
made then it will necessitate change
of the entire method of taxing such
corporations and an amendment to the
state constitution.
Express companies are taxed upon
the business they do in the state
because duties on their tangible prop
erty would be practically nothing. for
the companies own no property to
speak of. But the express concerns
held that such tax is the same as tax
on incomes, and that is forbidden in
the state constitution. They obtained
restraining order and now the Judge
saws that the companies win and that
the state has no right to try to collect
taxes in such manner.
1t is now up TO the state to get a
reversal of this decision or else change
the constitution, but in the meantime
thousands of dollars will be lost to the
commonwealth.

Borax was the substance chiefly used
in preparing the ''embalmed bee"

activity of General Miles, who endeav-
ored to provide pure food for the use
of the soldiers. It's use and the pub
licity which it gained at the time gave
rise to the pure food laws in the

through Oklahoma, parts of Arkansas
and Southwest Missouri. Big Heart,
Okla. having population of about
1000 persons, was the first town struck
Here the storm came suddenly, tear.
ing down houses above the heads of
