To Begin Work on Trail

Officers of the county auto asso-
citation took a number of county
commissioners east on the Black q
Yellow Trail Thursday to arrange
for work along the road. 1t was
stated that the first work let would
be five miles from Washington com
ing west. Beadle county has al
ready graded considerable road be-
tween Huron and Washington.
The work along this trail has been
very slight compared to that along
the Aberdeen Mobridge line. Up
there the road has been graded from
the east line of the state to the
Missouri river at Mobrldge, and a
day has been set this month for a
general turn out Of .nen teams and
engine, all along the trail to smooth
up the road and remove rocks. The
Aberdeen trail will go from Mime
opolis to the Yellowstone Park, fcl-
lowing the line of the Milwaukee
railroad.
The Black and Yellow trail along
the C.. & N. w. has been graded only
here and there in strips of a few
miles. This line has been graded
once from st. Lawrence to Rec
Heights, but perhaps needs drag
work. Work on the line is also
needed between St. Lawrence and
Vayland. With county and town,
ship work conferred on this road dur,

completed entirely across the coun

Worlds Champion i'm Miller

Frank Gotch, the greatest Wrest-

cording to athletic experts. was a
visitor in Miller Yesterday. He came
from Humboldt, Iowa, with two or
.hree other men. and they drove
out to look at some Hand county
land. While in the city yesterday
Mr. Gotch consented to make a short
talk to the high school boys upon
athletics, and the better way of
living. He also favored them with
some of his own interesting eXper-
fences in the wrestling game.
The man who made Humboldt a
famous town, because it was his

City Water Supply

On June LIST the city officers will
issue summer sprinkling permits for
$500, to be used only under definite
and strict regulations.
Why this charge and these regu-
lations?
Because the town is short of water
and must figure carefully to
make it go around among all the
citizens during the summer months.
When n man gets than his
share he deprives someone else.
Among these sprinkling regula-
tons are these necessary require
ments. No one is. allowed to run an
open hose without a nozzle or sprink-
Ter attached thereto. There is a
reason for this. or it would not be
demanded by the officers. The rea-
son is that every open hose lessons
the force in the mains, and deprives
someone of water.
To give all parts of town some
water it is necessary to divide the
city into districts. For instance, the
east side is to use water Mondays.
Wednesdays and Fridays and the
west side Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays. The reason for this. of
course, is that there is not enough
force to supply both sides of the
city at the same tine during the
sprirkling season.
Another regulation, and a neces-
sary one. is to close all hydrants at
10 o'clock p. m. There are two rea.
sons for this. The first is for fire
protection. TO give sufficient force
and water in case of a night fire.
The other is to give an opportunity
to fill tanks and bath tubs.
BY observing these rules honestly
and decently, all parts of the city
can have a reasonable share OF wa
' ter.

EXPRESS co. TAX
SUPREME COURT
Nav Require Special Session of
Legislature

Governor Byrne has appealed to
the state supreme court for a decl.
sion on the cOnstitutionality of the
express tax law recently held void
by Judge SanbOrn in the federal
circuit court. The action was taken
under a provision of the constitu-
ton which permits the governor to
require the opinion Of the supreme
court on the constitutlonality of an
important law governing the exer-
Else of his executive powers. This
is perhaps the first time in the his
tory of the United States that a
governor of a state has called upon
the supreme court of his state for an
opinion on the constitutionality of a
law. The action was made necessary
as there is no way of appealing to
the United States court from Judge
Sanborn's decision on the express
tax case except by showing that the
state supreme court holds the chapt-
err Ga of the laws Of 1907 constitu-
tional.
The governor declares that an ex-
ira session of the legislature will be
necessary if the law is unconstitu.
tionai.
The express tax cases involving
about $50, 900 were recently decided
against the state by the circuit court
of appeals, Judge Sanborn handing
down the decision. He ruled on the
law as applied to the constitution in
1910 and held that the state board
of equalization could not take into
consideration the gross earnings of
corporations in assessment for taxes.
Under the decision the express com
panies would pay but nominal taxes.
The constitution has since been
amended in this regard but the state
contends that the socalled express
law was constitutional at the time it
was passed. Action was taken
about two weeks ago by the express
companies to prevent the state from
collecting the 1913 tax and the ease
will be given a preliminary hearing
on Nav % in Sioux Falls.
The governor contends that the
states right to tax corporations is
involved and that the question is
therefore of such Importance that
the supreme court should pass on in.
South Dakota, it is thought, Is the
only state in the nation which has a
provision in its constitution provid-
ing for an appeal such as made by
Governor Byrne.

with moral. This is as it has been
tcld to the children of many lands
wh're children live, have birds and
treesl
Winter was coming, and the birds
had flown away to the south where
it would not be SO cold and they
could find berries to eat. One little
bird had broken its wing and could
not fly away with the others. 1t did
mo- know what to do, and made its
way to a forest near by to ask for
help.
First it came to a birch tree "beau-
tiful birch tree" it said, ''My wing
is broken, and / could not go with
my friends. May / live in your BRAN
ches until they come back?''
''No, indeed" answered the birch
tree, 1--WE of the great forest have
our own birds to help. l can do moth

Perhaps the birch could not hold

itself. "she is not strong. l will ask
the oak tree" So the bird said,
Great oak-tree, you are SO strong
will lou not let ne live in your
boughs until the springtime.
The springtime." cried the oak
That is a long way off. Birds are
always docking for something to eat
and you might eat up some of my
acorns"
1T MAY be that the Willows will
be kind to me, /" thought the little
bird, and it said, Gentle willow my
wing is broken ard l could not fly
away with the other birds. MAY /
live in your branches until spring
time?" IS
Indeed do not know you,' said
the willow, haugfti.y, land we will
lows never talk to people whom we
do not know. Leave me at once"
The poor little bird did not know
what to do, and began to fly away
as we'll as it could. 1t had not not

bird it said, where are you going
Il do not know" said the little
bird sadly. 81 am very cold
Come right here then" said
the spuce-tree, for it was her voice
that had called. You shall live on
my warmest branch all winter if Y 1

the little bird eagerly
Indeed | will answered the spruce
Here is the branch where my leave

My branches are not very thick,

juniper tree, | can give you berries

So the spruce gave the lonely little
bird house, the pine, kept the cold

juniper gave it barries to eat
When Jack Frost came he asked

No said the forest king. The
trees that have been kind to the
little bird with a broken wing may
