SAYS STATE CENSUS TO
BEAT FEDERAL EFFORTS

Dakota's third census, taken by the
state, will be even better than that
OF the federal government, if onlv the
assessors will stand by their jobs as
they did in our second censu 10 years
ago." said Doane Robinson, superin-
tendent of the census, before the
County Auditors association. Ten
years g every assessor in the state
did his work well, and the result was
a census which was just as good as
any federal census of this state ever
made, and the one taken May / will
be better yet" he said.
The information in this census will
cover every point about South Dakota.

tries.
MILLER-The license question will not
come up here at the city election April
20, the saloon men having failed to petit
ton for a vote on the proposition. The
town went dry last year by a large ma
5ority and those favoring saloons saw no
hope Of winning out this spring. The
election will not be without interest, how
ever. as FL. J. Bushfield has already pre-
sented his petition as a candidate for
mayor, and a petition is out and being
literally signed asking S.. v. Christ, the
present incumbent. to run again. There
will be contests for aldernanic positions,
also.

Hoon. an enterprising farmer living near

a farm in Jackson formerly Stanley

PLANKINTON-At another meeting
held by local baseball enthusiasts a re-
port was made by a committee appointed
at a previous meeting to solicit subscrfp-
tons to a fund for the support of a base
ball team. The committee reported that
n good sum already had been subscribed
and that enough additional money was in
sight to assure the placing of a team in
the field for the coming season.
ABERDEEN-A local railroad man en-
tered the Aberdeen National bank, of this
city, and deposited on the counter in,
front of the teller's window a salt sack
| well filed with coin. Upon counting the
contents of the sack it was found to con-
tain zoos dimes-s2Oo. 80. The man had

years for the purpose of attending the ex-

put a stock OF fish In Red lake, a fine
body of water near here. The kind Of fish
has not vet been determined, but they
will be of a variety suitable to the water
of the k 1t is probable that following
the stocking of the lake all fishing will
be prohibited for at least two years in
order to permit the fish to grow.
IROQUOIS-Iroquois will become a dry
town at 9 o'clock on the evening of June
80. This is due to the fact that those
favoring license were unable to secure the
signatures of the necessary number OF
| freeholders to a petition asking that the
license question be submitted to the voters
at the annual city election in April. This
shows that sentiment is against the grant
Ing of licenses this year.
