SOUTH DAKOTA RATE CASE

1t doubtless will be several weeks
before a decision Is handed down in
the case involving passenger rates in
South Dakota, in which oral argu-
ments were made before Judge Willard
of the United States court, a few days
ago, says a Sioux Falls dispatch. Ten
days have been permitted the attor-
neys for both the state and the rail-
way companies in which to file briefs
in the case. The state seeks to have
a 2-cent rate put into effect, while the
railway companies oppose both the
proposed 2-cent rate and also 21k-
cent rate, claiming that because of the
comparatively thinly settled condition
Of South Dakota they cannot carry pas
sengers at less than 3 cents per mile
in order to secure a reasonable profit
on the business.
The litigation between the state and
the railway companies having lines in
South Dakota, with reduced passen-
ger fares as the bone Of contention,
had its inception March 4. 1907, when
the legislature enacted a law authoriz-
ing the state board of railroad com
missioners to establish a 2hcent pas
senger rate on railroads within the
state. On September 20 Of that year
the railway commissioners issued an
order classifying the railroads and pro-
viding that most Of them should put a
2k-ceht rate into effect. On October
8, 1907, the railroads affected by the
order, secured a temporary injunction
preventing the railway commission
from putting the proposed rate into
effect.
John H. Gates. now a Judge OF the
state supreme court, was appointed
special master, and after an exaus-
tive investigation made a report recon-
mending that a rate Of on cents would
be reasonable. On February 2, 1908,
the legislature enacted a law fixing
2 cents per mile as the passenger rate
IN South Dakota. Another temporary
Injunction was secured. preventing the
state authorities from putting the 2
cent rate into effect, and this still is
In effect, pending the decision of Judge
Willard IN the case argued before him
a few days ago. Both sides are hope
ful Of having their contention sustain
ed by Judge willard.

some good private exhibits, among
these being the show of grain and
other products sem out by the Cana.
dian government.
President Rudolph and Secretary
Riley put in a large amount of hard
work in preparing for the fair and
that it was a success artistically if
not financially is due principally to
their efforts.
There is considerable talk of hold
ing the fair caller next year, as 1t Is
felt that the weather will be warmer
and there is no more possibility of
rain. The first week in September
would probably be the best time, al
though it may be impossible to hold it
then on account of conflicts with other
fairs or racing circuits. However, We
believe that Bookings county has
given way to other fairs about long
enough and it is time that we assert
our independence and hold our fair
when We want to. To do that we
might have to cut out the horse races,
but that sport is on its last legs as a
means of entertainment and We be-
lieve that a flying machine or two,
some auto races and attractions
such as Rollo and McPhee & Hill
would please the people a whole lot
better.

BETTER BABIES CONTEST

The Civic League Better Babe" con-
test held at the Commercial Club
rooms on Friday, September 26, show
ed that Brookings county is already
awake to the necessity of rearing
healthy children, and is responding to
that necessity for a finer lot of healthy
looking children could not be found
anywhere.
The number entered was more than
double that expected, and that has
necessitated a change in the original
plan of procedure. The scoring began
at half past ten and continued until
about four o'clock in the afternoon. In
that time ~sixty-six babies we've scored,
all scoring unusually high.
The standard score card was used
and a copy will be sent to each mother
of the babies scored, and a copy to the
New York Milk Committee, which is
collecting the score cards from the
Better Babies contests all over the
country and from them making new
tables and standards for the use of
physicians. The scoring committee ex-
perienced the same difficulty in ad-
justing the system of the present score
card to the Brookings county babies,
that has been experienced in thc :.
ly all places from Chicago OBS t to
the coast. This difficulty arises from
the fact we'll proven by the Better
Babies contests in the section named.
that western babies are larger and bet
ter developed than those farther east.
In view of the fact that such a large
number scored so high and that so
many differed by a fraction only, the
executive committee has decided not
to award the prizes until all those sco4%
ing ove a certain per cent have been
recalled for a final examination in
which all babies present will pass
through the hands of the same eX-
aminers.
The results of the final examination
will be ready for publication next
week.

P~ATHFiNDERs o

One of the Cox brothers, of Tyler,
Mimi, who accompanied the black and
yellow pathfinder car from that place
to the Yellowstone Park, passed
through this city one day last week
on the return trip. Mr.. Cox informs
the Tribune that they had a number
Of interesting experiences on the trip
which they will long remember. In
Wyoming it was necessary to ford a
river and water in the carburetor caus-
ed the engine to stall. 1t was some six
hours before help could be secured and
the car hauled from the river, and
without their knowing it, water seeped
into the d~iferential so that the grease
was oon used up. Before they were
aware of what had happened the shaft
and a ball bearing burned out and
they were stalled on the road for a
week. While Mr.. McCafree left the
party at Deadwood on the westbound
trip. Ben Wood went on to the park
and back as far as his home at Rapid
City. The pathfinder car, which was
owned by Gust Holmes Of Cody, Wyo..
remained at that place, and Mr.. Wood
made the return trip with Mr.. Cox.
Mr.. Cox say that he found the roads
on the return trip much better than
they were going west and he is con.
fdent that the gospel of good roads"
as preached by MI. Wood, has already
borne fruit.-Volga Tribune.

PHEAsANTs TO be SENT OUT

Prof. Kerr has eight or ten applica-
tons from different parts of the coun-
ty for the pheasants which were sent
him by the state game warden. How
ever, none will be sent out until after
the close of the chicken season next
week. as it is feared that some hunters
might mistake them for prairie chick
ems. The applications for the pleas
ants will be investigated carefully, as
these birds require shelter in the way
of trees and underbrush and plenty of
water and a chance to get food. 1t
has been decided to place some Of
them at Lake lakewood and along the

BRO0K|NGS HIGH
LOSES FIRST ONE
ABERDEEN TEAM DEFEATS LOCAL
BOYS IN FOOTBALL GAME
ON SATURDAY
BOTH TEAMS SHOW NEED Of PRACTICE
Contest MARRIED by Fumbling on Both
Sides-erookings Team Puts Up a
Piucky Fight Against Odds

The Brookings high school football
team lost the first game Of the season
to Aberdeen at the college park last
Saturday afternoon, the score being
IA to O. Aberdeen has nearly a veter-
an team, while the local bunch are
nearly all playing their first year Of
high school football. The visitors, too,
outweighed the locals, but in spite of
these odds the Brookings boys fought
every minute OF the game.
The game was marred by ragged
work on both sides and the teams
showed a lack Of practice or perhaps
1t was experience. There was con-
siderable fumbling, Brookings being
the worst offender and the tackling of
the local boys was the poorest we have
ever cen Time after time they
would get to the man with the ball
only to grab at him half-heartedly
and he went on for several yards far
Their. This poor tackling was respon-
sible for the first Aberdeen touchdown
and incidentlly for the loss of the
game.
This first touchdown came in the
third quarter, Aberdeen had the ball
on Bookings 30-yard line with six
teen yards to 60 on the last down. In
stead of kicking the visitors fullback
ran around right end and shook on
six or eight Brookings tacklers before
he was downed inside the 5-yard line,
from where the ball was easily carried
over. The man should have been stop
ped with less than five yards gain.
which would have given the ball 10
Brookings. Aberdeen's second touch
down was made near the close of the
game.
The Brookings team shows promise
and with more practice w believe
that Coach Dillon will have n Of the
best high school teams In the state.
There are quite a few new men this
year anu dS oOOu % tuC UOyp 6CS w
know each other they should do much
better. Coach Dillon has certainly i'm
bued them with a proper fighting spirit
and they never quit for a minute Sat
urday, although they must have felt
that they were up against a better
team. 1t was their misfortune to play
their first game against a veteran
bunch, Aberdeen having nine men In
the lineup from last years champion
ship team.
Hoover was the star for Brookings,
being about the only man that could
gain consistently, and Culhane did
good work. Van Laningham, the
Brookings quarter, received injuries
which compelled him to quit the game.
Aberdeen's best man was their full
back, who gained most Of the ground
for his team.
