DUSTY STREETS
Cause Discomfort With City
Officials by Rapid City
People

Rapid CITY, Jan. 2.-The laws OF
nature working through a gale that
blew sixty miles an hour famed into a
fame the fires which have been
smouldering in the hearts of the tax.
payers for several months.
The entire board of city commits
sioners and the street commissioners
in particular came in for unstinted
criticism fair and unfair. II was the
dust that sifted down from the road
way in front of the White mil. that
found its way into homes and into
the mouths and eyes of innocent
s~lumberers that caused the g. st com
plants, because the gale started in the
early morning hours and was at its
height about 6 O'Clock.
Streets were swept clean and dust
and debris were deposited in drifts on
the sidewalks Stones as large as
buckshot ratified against Main street
store windows and everybody indoors
and out was uncomfortable and desir-
ing to ascertain why the street commits
sIoners did not get the watering carts
out and lay the smudge.
The nuisance of the dust caused a re-
newal of the discussion to recall the
board of commissioners. Cnder its
present working about every taxpayer
is going shout with a chip on his
shoulder and yesterday the whole stu
alton was reviewed and loud demands
were made for the recall.
TIE condition of the new water sys-
tenn, upon which more than $50. 600
has been expended, gives ample ground
for disccntent. With the expenditure
of this amount of money there is no
water from it in the city and noue in
sight.
The in which the streets
have been graded has proved ~unsatifac-
tory from several viewpoints. Tax
payers complain of the special assess.
ment for the work, and yesterday
gale blew most of the top dressing
away. It is affirmed that the grading
should have been. done in the spring

course, is supposed to know it all

thing be don't happen to know,
some wise buddy can purity quick
tell him.

sometimes to sit down and think

PROHIBITIONS FOOT!

[ have heard this Internal song
about prohibition" here in

sick and tired of it. The state of

enough to disgust the very Old
Scratch.
Now please understand that I
am a prohibitionist from three
feet above my head to six feet

every crumb Of tobacco sunk to

But we're not going to get
that nor anything like it for a
good while yet, and | don't see
any use in Matching up a great
pack of lies and telling the world
that we have prohibition when
there amt a word of it SO.
The main business Of the In
ter nal Revenue Law is to 'regu-
late" the likker traffic.
Now look here! Any fool knows
that the right kind of a prohibi-
ton law, properly inforced'
would put the Internal Revenue
Law out of business in short
order-by destroying the source
of the "revenue.'
But what are the facts here in
North Carolina? Why, we have a
so-called prohibition law, and we
also have some Internal Revenue
Jobs that are so. attractive that
several of our biggest prohibition
lea ,ders have jumped at 'em like
anew nail to a magnet.

cases of A. d. Watts and J. W

daddy of our present prohibition
law, which allows likker such Z
free hand that the revenue
from it pays Watts a fat salary

Western District.
In the Eastern District the
same job is held by a little ex'
preacher named J. w. Bailey
Who has long been Secretary Of

WEEKLY MEET OF
 LOCAL GUN CLUB

The Williams Gun club held its sixth regular shotgun event last Sunday despite the high wind pre- vailing. While there was only nine members brave enough to pass the gatekeeper at the ball park to par ticipate, what the club lacked in attendance was made up in en- thusiasm.
 Melick and Finney were tied for actual high score with 20 each, Finney winning the Patterson medal in the shoot off. For the special prize there is some doubt as to who is winner, as no one made 25 with their handicap. While the general understanding is that some one will make 25 with their handicap for any special prize, the club has no ruling on the subject.
 Another subject under discussion
