NO INCREASE OF PAY
JOHNSON HOLDS SIOUX FALLS CENSUS
DOES NOT GIVE EN-.
PLOYES INCREASE.

Pierre, Sept. II. Attorney Gen
eral johnson, on inquiry from
Sioux Falls. hold that a census
taken under the provision Of chap
ter 257, laws Of 1913, which was
intended to fix population of cities
for the purpose of fixing the num-
ber of saloons which might be IL
censed, may not be used to fix
salaries OF city Off ,ials which are
based upon population, whether
the new figures might either show
that the officials are entitled to an
increase or that they should receive
decreased salaries.
He also holds on the road law
that where voters of a road district
vote to work out their road tax in
stead of paying it in cash, receipts
for road work cannot be accepted
by the county treasurer in lieu OF
road taxes. That the only way to
get credit for such work is through
the townships allowing the legal
time amount of twenty cents per
hour for a man or forty cents pei
hour for man and team, and issue
warrants for the same, on which
the worker can secure the cash il
he desires, or turn the same in or
payment Of taxes.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY
GOVERNOR BYRNE ISSUES faOCLAMA'
TION TO PROTECT STATE.

Pierre, Sept. 22.-Gov. Byrne
has issued the following fire pro-
lection proclamation:
In this progressive age, when
the matter of general conservation
so largely engages the attention of
the American people, it is fitting
that special consideration be given
the appalling fire waste which OBJ
tains throughout the entire United
States
Our forests are carefully pro-
tected, our waterways properly
guarded and widely utilized. lands
hitherto useless are constantly be-
ing reclaimed and developed by
drainage and irrigation-almost all
our resources are now within the
jurisdiction of the regnant cCnserv-
alton spirit-and vet statistics evil
dence that the enormous drain upon
these resources through fire is an
nually increasing and at an alarm
ing rate.
This excessive and largely pre-
ventable fire waste, which amounts
per capita to five times as much as
the less from fire in any of the
European countries, is beginning
to be recognized as national dis
grace. and it is to assist in it's re-
duction that | have proclaimed and
set aside Thursday, October 9,
1913, as Fire Prevention Day, and
| urge that every citizen of South
Dakota a;cept his individual re-
sponsibility in this regard, in order
that this great national ash heap
may be lessened and in due course
of time entirely done away with.
Il trust that the owners of prop
erty may remove from their prem
ises all rubbish and waste; that
the municipal authorities may be
especially active in thoroughly
cleaning their streets and alleys,
and that in the public schools fire
drills be held and instructions be
given as to methods of fire prOtec-
ton, prevention and fire fighting
This with the end in view of rem
edying our present condition which
is so serious reproach upon our
nation and so grave menace to
her people"

CITY COMMISSIONERS
ASKED To REFUND MONEY
The MobridQe Commissioners Drew Salaries For
Services While Acting as A Board Of
Equalization. Asked to Refund.

Since the attorney general rem
dered his decision that city coun-
cilmen and city commissioners are
not entitled to draw extra pay for
their services while acting as a
board of equalization. cOmmuni'
cation has been addressed to the
commissioners of Mobridge asking
that they make refund of the sal
ary issued to themselves for such
services.
The communication was received
at their last meeting, Monday, but
the board took no official action in
regard to the matter. They did
not even grant the request the
honor of official recognition.
Immediately following the re-
ceipt of word regarding the attOr-
ney generals decision City Attor-
ney j. E. Clayton issued check
to the city treasurer covering the
amount of money drawn by him for
services to the equalization board.
At the time the city commissioners
convened as board of equalization
they remained in session eight days
and drew a salary of 400 per day
for their services. The city st-
torney and auditor also received
the same salary.
Chapter 1l9, sections so, 81, 81
and SO. session laws of 1913, prac
ticaiiy seis forth The duties III the
city commissioners, but the law
fails to Stipulate or otherwise set
forth that the commissioners shall
receive or be entitled to pay for
their services while acting as a
board Of equalization.
That the commissioners transact
ed their duties in a creditable man
ncr and are entitled to pay for
their services is the general opinion.
But as the law provides no salary
for the board while sitting as q
board of equalization, and the at
tOrney general uphOlds the law, it
is likely that the matter of refund
will have to be settled by the
courts.

MOBRIDCE WOMAN
WINS PIECE OF LAND
Mrs. Mary Griffith of This City
Among First 25O Names Drawn

The drawing for land in the Fort
Peck Indian Reservation occurred
mt Glasgow, Montana, Monday and
Tuesday and among the first to win

from the pile-2O Dakotans are

Several people fiom Mobr.dge
and nearby towns went to Miles
City and registered. So far Mrs.
Griffith is the only person from
this city reported in the winning
list.
The Fort Peck Reservation is To-
Gated in the northeastern part Of
Montana, in Valley county, and in
cludes territory about eighty
miles long by forty wide. The
land lies generally level to rolling
and the soil is a fine rich dark
loan.
The reservation is situated alone
the Missouri river, Oh the north
side. The railroad needs of that
section are cared for by the main
line of the Great Northern and
their branch road running from
Bainville to Scobey.
Valley county has been fortunate
during the past few years in secur-
ing good crops, when the most of
the country surrounding raised no
grain to speak of, and this fact
alone has induced many people to
try for a piece of land on the res
ervation.

LOCAL TELEPHONE COMPANY
MUST INSTALL METALLIC SERVICE
Citizens Of Mobridee Complain Of Poor Service Rail-
road Commission Have Notified The Telephone
Company to Change Local Service.

Word has been received in this
city that the state. railroad COM
mission has taken favorable action
in regard to the complaint of the
citizens of MObridge because of the
poor service rendered by the pres
ent telephone equipment.
The commission has notified the
Dakota Central Telephone com
pany that they must install met
allie service on or before the first
day of December, 1913.
The present service rates will re-
main III operation for one year.
The telephone company, at the end
Of twelve months, will have to file
a sworn statement of the expenses
for installing the new system and
their expenditures for operating.
The cost of both will then be used
as a basis for establishing the new
rates.
The credit for securing the met
allie service is due to the efforts Of
the Commercial Club and their
secretary, p. b. Rosenberger. The
new service will do away with the
cross talk and transmit cOnver-
sation in a much more distinct
manner.
