ARE OUR TAXPAYERS PREPARED TO RUN
 THE OYSTER INDUSTRY
 AND PAY THE OWNERS? :?

'sWe understand that there are some oyster beds near them. We have no exact Knowledge thereof, but will state that reasonable cost for acquiring the use of such grounds will be slight compared with the cost of Altering sewage on land.-RepOrt of Herring & Fuller, recommending $3,OOO, ,OOO sewer project to Bridgeport.
 The cost of buying these oyster beds will be inflicted on the city if Mayor Wilson's sewer proposal is adopted.
 To pump the sewage of Bridge port Into the oyster beds would be to ruin the oyster industry in this neighborllood.

Mexico City.-Conyinced that numer-

Auahua are continuing their operations
merely because they believe surrender
would mean summary execution under
the suspension of guarantees, Rafael
Hernandez, the new minister OF the in

amnesty. Cheche Campos and Benja-
min Arguado, officers in Orozco's or
ganization and the chief rebel leaders
In these districts, have fought several
engagements during the latter part
Of the week, the government as usual
announcing victories.
These and allied leaders have been
making successful raids on small out
posts, managing, for the most part, to
eyade encounters with superior forces.
The rich country is practically at their
mercy, and the federal forces are able
accomplish little more than garrison
the larger towns.

Race in Building to Wheeler.

Mitchell.-The statement that has
been made concerning the strong pos
sibility of the extension of the Great
Northern railroad from Sioux Falls
to Wheeler on the Missouri river, in
Charles Mix county, will without doubt
awaken another project of railroad ex-
tension which has remained dormant
for about 10 years, but which has al
ways been an ambition of another rail-
road company to build to the anne
point. When the Chicago, St.XPaul,
Minneapolis and Omaha railroad built
the extension from Sioux Falls to
Mitchell a quarter of a century ago,
it was the understanding that the
line would eventually be completed
on to Wheeler. A succession of years
of poor crops, brought on by slight
rain, held the project in allegiance.
With the announcement coming with
more or less authority that the Great
Northern will build to Wheeler, it is
believed by the business men of this
city, men who have been in touch with
the possible extension from this city,
that the Omaha will step into the field
and give the Great Northern a chase
down into that rich agricultural coun-
try. The Omaha people have looked
upon that country as their property
for business advancement and it is not
likely that they will permit another
road to build into it alone.

Sunday Moving Pictures.

Pierre.-The first attempt to open
a Sunday evening picture show in this
city is meeting the determined oppo-
sition of the ministerial association Of
Pierre. Representatives of that body
appeared before the city commission
and demanded an ordinance which
they had prepared, prohibiting the
showing of moving pictures in Pierre
on Sunday, with or without an admis-
sion fee. There is a question as to the
commission adopting their ordinance,
and regardless of what action is taken
by that body, one or the other Of the
opposing interests will take the ques-
ton to a vote through the initiative or
referendum as the case may be, and
the indications are for a warm contest
before it is ended, in which it will
be definitely settled as to whether or
not moving pictures on Sunday are
any more wicked than lantern slides
on hat day.

Number of Elevators Increased.

Pierre.-South Dakota crops of this
year increased the number of licenses
issued to grain elevators. Last year
licenses were issued to S88 elevators,
and this year to 1,175 elevators. Last
year 2S5 elevators of the SSS were
bonded for the storage Of grain, and
this year 524 of the 1,175 were bonded
for that purpose. Such figures very
clearly indicate the difference in the
grain handled last year and this in
South Dakota.
