TAX COLLECTIONS
REPORTS FROM STATE COUNTIES
INDICATE INCREASED PAY
MENT OVER LAST YEAR.

Although taxes not paid TO the
county treasurer before November !
last. became delinquent, payments of
taxes are still being received from be-
lated property owners No informa-
ton could be given out at the office
today as to the amount OF taxes that
had been paid in prior TO the first of
the month. 1t was not known wheth-
er collections had been lighter or
heavier than last year. Published re-
ports of early tax collections in other
counties in the state indicate that the
delinquency in South Dakota this
year will not be so great as in 1914.
despite the fact that crops in some
sections did not come up TO the stand
ard of those of last year The pay
ments in some counties have run
from / per cent TO per cent higher
than during the corresponding pre-
vious season.
November 10 was the date on
which delinquent personal taxes were
certified to the sheriff and a penalty
of 81, is now attached to receipts for
delinquency. An additional sum of
20 cents for mileage is also charged.

BUILDING OPERATIONS
WEATHER CONDITIONS OF PAST
WEEKS HAVE BEEN
FAVORABLE.

The good weather of the last
month and half could scarcely have
come at more opportune time for
building operations, it is declared by
local contractors. The builders as
sert that the six weeks or so of al
most uninterrupted sunshine was not
any too much to assure the contin-
uance of projects started in the late
summer and the fall.
While extreme cold would have a
tendency, in some respects, to retard
construction work, ii is pointed out
that practically all Of the business
houses, residences and the addition
to the public school are either inclos-
ed or nearly so.
Local workmen, of practically all
classes, assert that while the recent
good weather has done much in the
way of compensating them for the
time they were forced TO lose on ac-
count of rainy and unreasonable
weeks in the spring and summer, they
do not expect real winter to hold off
long enough TO permit of them get
ting in an average seasons work. II
is pointed out that frost has already
commenced to settle into the ground
and that only unusually mild wealth.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
CIATED PRESS.

New York, Nov. Especial. BY
the sinking of the Italian liner An
coma. which was torpedoed in the
Mediterranean by submarine Tues
day. il is feared that twenty-seven
Americans lost their lives. They
were among the missing.
OF passengers and crew, number
ing close to 500, $40 survivors only
are accounted for. According to ad-
vices from Thomas Nelson Page, the
American ambassador at Rome, six
of the victims were residents OF New
York.
From reports of the disaster re-
ceived from Tunis. where many of
the rescued were landed. ii would APP
pear that the Aneona attempted to
escape and was overhauled. She was
then shelled and the charge is also
made that the lfeboats We're shelled.
Many of the survivors were brought
to port in a wounded condition.
While the Austro-Germans and
Bulgarians are still pressing onward
in Serbia the Russians in the district
of Riga have won positions against
the Germans Farther south. in the
region of Czartorisk, the Russians
have captured the village Of Budki
and the forests TO the south and
north, making prisoners of fifty of
ficers and over 1000 men, half of
them Germans. and in addition seized
about twenty machine guns.
The situation in Serbia is the same
as ii has been for days past-the
Austro- -Hungarians and Germans are
continuing their march southwark
while the Bulgarians are moving in
to the little kingdom in a westerly
direction Down in the south ii is
reported that the French have re-
captured Veles. on the railway south
east of Uskup. while over on the Mon
tenegrin front the men of King Mich
oils apparently are putting up hard
fight to hold the Austrians back.
The Germans in the Champagne re-
gion of France penetrated at one
point the French trenches, but, ac-
cording to Paris, was dislodged from
them in counter attack. Artillery
duels have been the rule on the 9TH
er sectors in France and Belgium and
also on the Austro-Italian front.

NARROW ESCAPE
Autoists See Hole i'm Beresford Bridge
i'm Nick of Time.

Beresford, Nov. 12.-Cameron Ell
lott and Charles Brushler. well
known young men of the northern
section of Union county, had a thrill
ing experience while driving an auto
mobile near Beresford. BY the mar
rowest margin they escaped having
their car plunge through bridge to
the waters of Brule river, twenty
feet below The bridge across the
river was being repaired and about
twenty feet of the floor planking had
been removed The hole in the bridge
was not discovered until they were
within a few feet of it. Elliott. who
was at the wheel, applied the brakes
and managed to stop the car, but not
until the front wheels had dropped
over the edge of the last remaining
plank and the nose of the car hung
over the abyss. Had Elliott not
proved himself a hero by sticking to
the wheel and applying the brakes,
both would have been killed.

QUOTED SCRIPTURE
South Dakotan's Cablegram Held Up
by British.

Sinai, Nov. 12.-Because Herman
Halverson of Sinai, member OF the
board of commissioners of Brookings
county, quoted two verses of scrip
ture in a cablegram to his brother
Peter Halvorson, missionary in
Madagascar, the British government
held up the cablegram, under the be-
lief that ii was a cipher message.
The cablegram was sent to the
brother in Madagascar for the pur-
pose of informing him of the death of
the mother of the two men in South
Dakota. The two verses of scripture
had been selected by the South Da-
kota brother to be used at the funeral
of the mother, and he cabled them to
his brother SO the latter could utilize
the same verses at simultaneous flu
neral services in honor of the mother
at services held by him in his mis-
sion in Madagascar.
The British government finally
was satisfied, after referring the
matter back to the United States and
South Dakota, and permitted the
cablegram to 60 forward after the
word verses" had been added. The
cablegram consisted of fourteen
words and cost the South Dakota
brother $13.S6.

while, laid off work yesterday. With
a companion he had strolled down TO
the Milwaukee depot. where he pick
ed up a newspaper containing an ac-
count of the storm. Upon going to

The police know that the reporters
will get the news, and some OF them
believe in adopting the whistling pre-

they fear that 1t is too reasonable a
regulation to be expected from the
powers that be. Some with sense OF
