FEBRUARY WAS

1909 ONLY MONTH IN WHICH
PRECIPITATION WAS EN-
CEEDED- TEMPERATURES
ABOVE NORMAL.

One and forty-three hundredths of
inch OF precipitation fell during
the month of February, according to
the report of M. r. Blystone, in
charge of the federal weather bu-
at Huron. This record for Feb
ruary was only exceeded for the
month for "a years in 1909, when
LIB inches fell.
The normal precipitation for Feb
ruary is IA of an inch, making last
months record so of an inch above
the average. In 1856, the month of
February saw only .16 of an inch of
precipitation, the minimum since the
Huron bureau was opened by the
government.
The warmest day of the month was
on the eighteenth, when it was 80
degrees above zero. 1t was 4 degrees
below zero on the second day of the
month. The normal temperature for
February is 1873 degrees above,
which made the average OF 22 de-
grees 81 above normal.
Three days in February we're clear

appointed to confer with the COM

The convention adopted resolu-
tons opposing the contract system OF
letting rural mail carrying, as pro-
posed by the Postmaster General
Burleson, and also opposing the prop
osition that the compensation of car
riers be fixed upon the basis OF the
weight and number of pieces of mail
handled, holding that the weight and
the number of pieces of mail have
nothing to do with the cost of deEv-
cry of mail by the carrier, and that
carriers on routes of standard length

ed by congress, of $1,000 a year. The

STATE DEFEATS
WESLEYAN FIVE
BROOKINGs BASKETBALL TEAM
THROWS IN SUBSTITUTES AND
WINS, ri TO ~.

Handicapped in the last half of
the game by meeting a string of
fresh players, Dakota Wesleyan was
unable to pile up enough points to
give her the hid end of the score in
the game with the State college
Tuesday evening on the high school
gymnasium floor. The final count
was "a to II in favor of State.
AT the end of the first half, State
was 2 points ahead of Wesleyan, the
score being IL to 8. With several
new men i'll the game during the
last half State came back strong.
The game was the fastest of the
intercollegiate games played here
this season. Good team work and
heavy guarding was displayed by
both teams and to good advantage.
The game was clean in every respect
and few scores made because of
fouls. For the home team, Knox was
the stellar performer. "Melick" Chase
also showed good form and played
a steady game. For State, Abbot
and Hewett worked we'll and fought
hard points.

AUTO LICENSE CUT IN
HALF BY NEW BILL.

Pierre, S. D.-The house has pass
ed the bill which requires all receipts
from auto licenses WHICH belong to
the state to be SEN to the state
t%reasurers by county ~treasurers in
stead OF the present system of max
ing remittances to the SECRETARY of
state, in whose department the bust
ness is handled. The bill reduces
he auto licenses to half the old rate,
and without doubt the requirement
hat the remittances to he treasurer
will bring that fund more nearly into
line with the general policy of
handling state funds. But the bill
as it has passed the house has put
the cash into the state fund, and re-
quires the secretary of state to pay
the clerks for handling the depart
ment, and sending out auto tags, but
makes no connecting link between
the two as to how the secretary is
to get the money to make the pay
ments. The auto owners will have
to dig up, and the state will get the
money, but there is no appropriation
of the fund for the use it is intended
for, and the constitution holds the
auditor and treasurer down i'll their
payments to money which is appro-
priated. Unless the connecting link
is put IN by the senate the auto de-
partment will be in hard times.
The road tax situation has been
complicated by a decision on the part
of Attorney General Caldwell, VINO
on inquiry of Representative Tschar-
ner holds that under existing condi-
lions statutes the county commission
ers have no authority to levy a road
tax upon cities and organized civil
townships in addition to the local
levies of these municipalities. 1t has
been the general custom for counties
to levy such taxes in the past. and IA
few days ago a bill passed the house
regulating the control and eXpendi-
lures of such taxes, which will not
be hard to look after under the de-
cision of the Attorney General.
The printing bill. by Thompson,
which requires county supplies to ne
bought on competitive bids, along the
same lines as the present state print
ing act, came out of the committee
under instructions. and after pre-
senting a lot of amendments, the
committee reported that the bill do
not pass. This is one OF the bills
which has been fought in the com
mittee by the local printers and blank
printing houses and county auditors
of the state, who do not apparently
care for such an enactment. The
house will get it's first show down on
IthA hill. tomorrow and the nroha}Aili.
