TELEPHONE RATES WRONG

P. w. Dougherty, attorney for the
railway commission, in the department
of the attorney general, has held that
special rates to stockholders of tele.
phone companies, under any guise
whatever is illegal and must be stop
ped, says a Pierre dispatch. In the
case of the Gas Belt company of
Okobojo, a rule was adopted to sell
telephone instruments to stockholders
at cost, the money to be refunded if
the instrument should be returned in
good shape if the stakeholder dropped
out, with the further provision that
non-stockholders be required to put in
their connecting lines to the main
lines, under regulations of the com.
pany, which is held to be discrimina.
ton. In the case Of the Glendale
Savo company free service to stock.
holders on local connecting exchanges,
with a charge to non-stockholders is
declared to be discriminatory; and in
the case Of the Brookings White toll
line, evidently owned by the local ex.
changes of the two towns, attempt to
give free toll service to their town sub.
scribers in either town, with a toll
charge to non-subscribers, which Is
also ruled as not legal.

Office at this time, and from other cir
cumstances which have been brought
and produced before us, that during
the time Mr.. Schamber was state treas
urer, from 1899 to 1902, inclusive, that
We will assume from those circum-
stances hat during that time Mr..
Schamber received personal profit and
personal advantage in a monetary way
by reason Of keeping funds belonging
to the state of South Dakota on de-
post in the various banks as shown
by the statements before us, and with
that assumption, based upon the proof
before US, that We shall so report to
the governor Of this state and to the
legislature of this state, and that it is
our belief that the burden of relieving
that assumption upon our part rests
upon Mr.. Schamber; and with that
statement upon our part, if Mr.. Scham-
Der and his counsel decline to proceed
further in answer to questions touch
ing upon the disposition of funds and
particularly in the matter of interest
which we assume has been collected
and retained by him, we are willing to
excuse him from further testimony.
We make this statement, not for the
purpose of menacing Or intimidating
the witness, o with a view of eXer-
cising any duress, but that the witness
may know fairly and openly what our
position is"
This apparently is the position of the
board in regard to alleged interest col
lections by former state treasurers OF
the state.

Company A of the separate battalion
South Dakota National Guard, known
as the State College company, and
Company c, the city company, arrived
home Friday evening from Fort Meade
near Sturgis, where they We're in
camp with the regular army for ten
days. 1t was the best camp, in the
opinion of the boys, that has ever
been held, and they thoroughly en-,
joyed it, although they did not have
much time to spend in seeing the
sights of the Hills.
1t was almost entirely a camp Of
rifle practice, that is, practicing with
the modern Springfield rifle on the 200,
300, 500, 500 and 1000 yard ranges, and
also skirmish, rapid fire and field fir
ing practice. This gives as near
actual service shooting as possible,
and will be of much value to both men
and officers if ever called into service.
The college company, which was
under command of Captain Young
burg, did itself great credit in getting
thirteen men qualified as marksmen,
one as sharpshootoer and one as ex-
pert rifleman. The last is the highest
grade of shooting and only two men
in the regiment qualified for that title,
and of these two Howard Fee of the
college company won first place.
On Sunday the men had the day off
and most of them visited the nearby
points of interest, including Bear
Butte and Lead and Deadwood,. six
teen miles from Sturgis. There was
also a lecture by Lieutenant Titus of
the regular army on the Boxer rebel
lion in China. Lieutenant Titus was
the first man over the wall at Pekin.
Colonel Boyd Wales, an old State
College student, Isl now in command
of the regiment, and w. A. Hazel, who
graduated here in 1897 is lieutenant
colonel, and both of them saw service
in the Philippines. They are popular
with the men and the regiment is con-
Quoted at the highest state of efic-
iency.

CITY WATER is PURE

DR.. A. w. Hyde tells us that
he has received a psychological
report on the city water and
also from the railroad wells, the
latter being made at the request
Of the North-W Western. The report
shows the city water was never in
better condition and it is almost abso-
lutely pure, but the railroad wells are
badly contaminated and will have to
be cleaned out before the water can be
used. In DR.. Hyde's opinion the water
from all the surface wells in the city
is mor or less impure and he advises
that it be boiled before using. The
city water should be used if it posi-.
bly, can be says DR.. Hyde.

sCHAMBER WILL NOT ANSWER

The general Investigating committee
called before it former state treasurer
John Schamber Of Rapid City, in it's
quiz in regard to interest collections
by state ~treasurers prior to the time
of the new law compelling accounting
for such funds, says a Pierre dispatch.
Mr.. Schamber declined to answer any
of the questions which were directed
toward the deposits he carried in differ
ent banks or the interest, If any, paid
upon the same. Mr.. Schamber declin-
ed to answer the questions put to him
by the committee, and his attorney,
Judge Gaffy, in each case objected to
the questions, as the committee had no
power to compel answers which might
be used either in civil or criminal
charges which might be made later
against his client. w. M. Cheever Of
Brookings, secretary of the committee,
then made a statement Of its position,
which is:
GAS a committee in which the entire
membership, including Mr.. Bogue, the
chairman, who is temporarily absent,
and Mr.. Lyons, the vice chairman, and
myself, as secretary, concur, We have
determined that in view of the limita-
tons placed upon the authority Of the
committee by chapter 261 Of the Ses-
sion Laws Of 1912, and in view of the
fact that the documentary evidence in

the governor Of this state by the banks,

treasurers and on file In the treasurer's

SPORTSMEN MAY IMPROVE CAMPBELL

There has been much discussion
among Brookings people the past year
about the improvement of Lake Camp
bell. This lake is n of the prettiest
in the state and has natural beauties
not equaled by other lakes that are
famous as summer resorts. While it is
eight miles from Bookings, it is the
nearest lake to the city and as a con-
sequence much visited by our citizens
and quite a few of them have cottages
there. However, nothing much has
ever been done to improve it and from
this season until fall the water falls
rapidly until the lake is hardly better
than a mudhole. Unless heavy rains
come in the fall the water freezes at
the low stage and most of the fish are
killed, this happening frequently in
past years. The plan most discussed
among Brookings people is to put in a
concrete dam at the outlet at the north
end of the lake, which would keep
two or three feet of much needed
water in the lake the entire summer.
This would keep the water fresh and
suitable for bathing, and would also
improve the fishing. The fishing the
past year was good, as the lake is
fairly well stocked with perch, pickerel
and bass, but it would be a whole lot
better if there was more water in the
lake. There has been quite a little
trouble with s%einers, most of whom
have worked at the south end near the
bridge, but if enough of a protest was
made to the state game and fish com
mission there is no reason why they
should not go after the outlaws and put
them out of business. The people of
Volga, Aurora and in fact the whole
southwest corner of the county are in
terested in this lake and no doubt
would help to make conditions there
better. There is talk of forming an
association among those interested
and it is likely that something will de-
yelop during the next few weeks.

NEW LAW

When the State Veterinary Medical
Association held it's annual session at
Mitchell early in June a resolution was
passed concerning the attitude that
the members of the association would
maintain toward the state livestock
sanitary board, but at the time the
the same until it had been submitted
to all members. In this resolution
which Secretary Allen has just given
out, the graduate veterinarians have a
grievance against the state law, which
permits a license to be issued to any
person who has a good moral character
and setting forth the fact that they
have practiced veterinary medicine for
the past five years. At the last days
session Of the legislature a bill was
passed which offends the graduate
veterinarians, which law went into
effect July /, and provides that amy
veterinarian who was licensed to prac-
tice under and by virtue of a license
so to do by the board of examiners in
veterinary medicine and surgery, and
who has practiced continually under
such license, shall upon petition sign
ed by forty freeholders, owners of live
stock, be appointed a deputy state
veterinarian by the superintendent of
the livestock bureau, said deputy shall
be qualified to inspect stock leaving
or entering the state"
The graduate veterinarians felt they
had been imposed upon and that their
profession had been lowered when it
was made possible to have anything
less than a professional man who had
received professional training to act
in any such capacity. The resolution
declares that the new law is unfair
and unjust to the graduate ~veterinar-
ians and detrimental to the livestock
industry of the state, in that it lowers
the standard of the veterinary profess
sion to such an extent that the licens-
ed n~on-graduate, who has no educa-
tional qualifications whatever, would
be empowered with the same authori-
ty in the control and eradication of
contagious disease as the graduate
veterinarian.
The resolutions further declare that
for the maintenance of the professional
standing of the graduate veterinarians
and the unfolding of the educational
standard of the profession, no member
of the association will accept any
form of commission or appointment
under the new law. The resolutions
were signed by every one of the men,
bers who were present at the conven-
ton, and contains now the signatures
of practically every graduate veterin-
arian in the state.

PAID OUT

The chautauqua paid out we'll, so
Manager Kerr, tells us, although the
talent this year cost $1,975, the high
est amount ever paid. The total re-
ceipts were about $4,000 and the total
expense will run about $2,250. This
fine showing was made possible by the
splendid patronage Of the people OF
the surrounding country and from
Volga and Aurora, and on the last
evening Platform Manager Voelker
paid these people a fine compliment
for their interest in the chautauqua,
which is something that lie not only
entertaining but instructive and edu-
cational as well. Very few chautauqua
in the northwest are better supported
than the one here and this speaks
highly for the people Of Brookings
county.

COLLEGE CATALOG OUT

The annual catalog Of the State Col.
lege has been received from the
printer and is being mailed out to
prospective students. The new law
somewhat delayed the book, conse.
quently there are something like two
thousand requests on hand. The in.
terest in the college makes probable
an early exhaustion of the edition.
Last year was the first time the annual
catalog was exhausted before school
opened. Many important changes
