Pierre, s.. D.-To open six new
state banks within two days is not
a common occurrence with the state
banking department, but was part
OF the work of Deputy HcEwen in his
trip to the northeastern corner OF
the state, to lock after the new banks
which want to do business along the
line of the new railroad from Fair
mount to Veblen. The banks author
lied are: Bank of New Ellington; and
the People State Bank at New Eff
ington; Farmers Security State bank,
and First international bank at Ros-
holt; Claire City Bank at Clair Ciey:
Farmers State Bank at Veblen. These
banks while on a new line of rail-
way are in a we'll settled and pros
porous portion of the state, which
will be given railway facilities which
they have been waiting for many
years. Nc McEwen says the new road
is within three miles of completion,
and that every one of the towns laid
out along the line is in the boom
with more building activi-
ties than in any other part of the

MANY FIRE RISKS
INSPECTED HERE
PREVENTION COMMITTEE RE-
PORTS ON 100 BUILDINGS IN
BUSINESS DISTRICT.

Inspection of 1870 buildings by the
committee from the South Dakota
Fire Prevention association, headed
by l.. c. Nichols, OF Sioux Falls, in
the past two days has revealed 81
defects. Only comparatively few of
these defects are of a serious nature,
but all are possible sources of danger
from fire.
The principal source OF danger
discovered by the corps of inspectors
was in accumulated rubbish in build
ings, % cases having been reported.
In rs buildings, instances we're
found of defective wiring. Five build
ings were found with an excess stor-
Tge of gasoline. six where the heat
ing plant was dangerous, four with
defective chimnsys,. one where an ex.
cessive amount of dynamite was stor-
ed and eight where minor defects
We're discovered.
The committee has three blocks in
the city yet to ilgcstigate. but il is
believed MAT the work will be COM
pleted by the middle OF the after
noon. Renorts OF the conditions of
the buildings win be forwarded to
the state fire n,aashai's office and TO
insurance companies. In instances
where changes recommended by The
experts are made, substantial reduc-
tions in insurance premiums will ev-
entually follow.
Many property owners and bust
ness men of the city gathered last
evening at the has meeting in the
city hall, where the work of the in
spectors was gone over The first fea-
lnre of the meeting was the address
of the chairman of the Inspectors, Mr..
Nichols, in which the whole matter
of fire protection was considered.
Mayor A. %. Hitchcock spoke brief-
ly. urging the creation of the office
of electrical inspector in the city, to
do away with much of the danger at
present. The mayor also emphasized
the danger of fire from the careless
ness of property owners. The meeting
closed with a general discussion of
fire matters.

NORMAL ELEVEN
SPEARFISH DEFEATED EASILY
by SCORE OF 32 TO 3-PAYNE b
STARS AT Full.

Crnmpling the visitors at the start
of the game. Dakota Wesleyan won
an easy victory yesterday afternoon
by defeating the Spearfish normal
eleven by the score of 80 to 3. The
contest, the first ever played be
tween the two schools, proved to be a
good practice for the Methodists and
u gruelling contest for the pedag-
|ogues.
The blue and white warriors clear
ly had the edge in superior weight,
speed and experience. At every stage
of the game the visitors were out
played and at no time was Mitcllen's
goal line in danger. Yesterdays show
ing has encouraged the Wesleyan
followers over the outcome of the
battle with the School of Mines a,
Rapid City on November j.
1t cannot be said that the margin
of 20 points in favor of the Meth
odists is amy criterion of the relative
strength of the two teams. Waltz
star fullback for Wesleyan, was moi
in the game and many of the new
plays which were hinged on him
could not be used. In addition, Coach
Herbert Hardy tried oua all the sub.
%stitutes.

strong. Far better team work char.

lent that Coach Hardy has advanced

formidable football machine.
Wesleyan scored by an end run in
every quarter of the game. Two on
'hrce line plunges, followed by an
end run was in main the offensive
game of the locals. Payne, who was
playing his second game in intercol-
'esiate football, tore off the longest
gains. He either found a hole or
made one, and repeatedly broke
through the line for gains of ten
iards-once for 60 yards for q touch

fought legal battle yesterday by de-
Gliding the proceedings of the town
board of Pollock at the session in
which saloon licenses were granted
applicants here, were regular, and
the saloons entitled to the license.
The local temperance element sought
to restrain the board from granting
the licenses on the ground that the

but the court, after hearing the evil

the arguments of opposing counsel,
decided in favor of the board.
