RECEIVER FOR S. D. CENTRAL

Upon the application of banking
houses interested in the bond issue
and bond holders the South Dakota
Central railroad was placed in the
hands Of a receiver and Henry c. Steb-
bins, general manager of the company,
was named as trustee. c.. l.. Powell
of the law firm of Mayer, Meyer, Aus
train & Pratt, general counsel for the
Continental and Commercial Trust and
Savings Bank of Chicago, which is
trustee for the bond issue under the
South Dakota Central mortgage, insti-
tuted the suit for the foreclosure, says
a Sioux Falls dispatch.
The receiver was directed by the
court to continue the operation of the
road substantially as heretofore and
1t is virtually certain there will be
no interruption in the business.
The interested parties, both bond
holders and stockholders. are Of the
opinion tat the embarrassment of the
railroad Is of a temporary nature and
it is believed that in the comparative
near future a complete new scheme
for financing the road will be deter
mined and the road turned back into
the hands Of the owners.

PROTECTION OF FAIR GROUNDS

At the last session of the legisla-
ture a law was passed that makes 1t a
misdemeanor to trespass on the
grounds Of any fair association in the
state. The important parts Of the
law are given below and it would be
well for the attention of the younger
people of this city to be called to them,
so that they can escape any trouble
with the local authorities:
ANY person who shall be found
lettering on the grounds Of, or around
or in the buildings belonging to or
under the control of any fair corpora
ton, without reasonable or lawful pur-
pose, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction shall be punish
ed by a fine in a sum not to exceed
twenty-five dollars or by imprison-
ment not to exceed ten days in the
county Jail, or by both such fine and
Imprisonment"
Every person convicted of a VIOLA
ton of any of the provisions of this
act. shall In addition to any fines and
punishments imposed be liable In
treble damages for any injury done
by such unlawful acts. to be recovered
In q civil action by said corporation"

the malicious destruction Of the fair
associations property. yet 1t 10 . de-

o n ISSUE

Tuesday, April 20, is the date set by
statute for the annual spring munich
pal elections in South Dakota. While
bond and franchise issues, and the
choice Of candidates FOR various mu-
nincipal Offices will come up at this
election, the paramount issue all yer
South Dakota will be the question of
saloon license, says an Aberdeen dis
patch.
The prohibitionists have been put
ting up a strong campaign throughout
the state, a result of their prediction
efforts being shown in the large mum.
Der of places where the liquor element
failed to secure sufficient signers for
petitions to place the liquor question
on the ballot.
The hottest fights will be at Aber-
deem, Milbank, Huron, Mitchell, Water
town and Deadwood, points where the
prohibition factions have been working
the hardest. Petitions have been filed
at those points to have the question
submitted.
Miller went dry last year by a large
majority. and this spring no petition
was circulated.
Langford and %Iroquois are two more
towns which will remain in the dry col
umn this year, owing to the failure of
the vets to file a petition.
Redfield had a lively scrap on last
week. The vets secured a petition to
submit the liquor question, the petition
bearing twenty-eight signers. The drys
got busy and induced nine of the sign
ers to withdraw their names, leaving
the petition short on the day it was to
have been filed.
Canova failed to secure sufficient
signers for a petition, and as a conse-
quence will remain dry.
Condo is another town which will re-
main dry because Of the lack of sign
ers to a petition.
At Mitchell there will be little or
position to candidates for aldermanic
honors, the big fight settling around
the liquor question.

plorable fact that it has been mis-
used and damaged by boys playing
around the buildings and by older per-
sons making it a rendezvous for quiet
parties. 1t is no more than right that
the property of the association should
be protected, and if one or two are
made to pay for their fun there will
be fewer window lights shot out and
buildings broken into. Keeping away
from the fair grounds will be the
best thing for the boys and other ldlers
having no business there.-Secretary.

ESTIMATES OF POPULATION
State Census Department Places Popu-
Iation of Brookings at $500

The state census division makes the
following statement in regard to prob
able population of leading cities of the
state at the coming census:
Long observation and hundreds of
specific tests demonstrate that the
school census is a dependable basis
for estimating population, not infalli-
BILE in every instance, but n in which
confidence may be safely placed. BY
this test the leading cities of the state
may be expected to show by the state
census to be taken this spring about
the following population figures re-
spectively, and serious departure from
these figures would be deemed to indi-
cate a defective enumeration"

r GETS DRAG

When the Register started its con-
test last fall we announced that a
steel road drag would be given to the
township which contributed the larg-
est numbers of new readers to the
Register list. We have just completed
a count and find that the final stand
ings are as follows: Alton, first;
Brookings township, second; Medary,
third; lakewood, fourth; Volga, fifth;
Aurora, sixth.
The standings were close, especial
~ between the first three. Brookings
city was not included with Bookings
township or the latter would have
won out. The Register would like to
give each of the townships a drag, but
what we would like to do and what we
are able to do are two different things.
However, we will make this PROPOSE
among the first three townships we
will give a drag to Brookings and Me-
dairy townships provided they will each
secure a list of ten new subscribers
for this paper. This Is a very liberal
offer and is made. as we stated above,
only because the three first named
townships were so close.
Atoms fine showing was due prin-
cipally to the efficient work Of Miss
Edna Fleming. Likewise Miss Nena
Mailey brought Medary to the fore,
and in Brookings township there were
several candidates who did good work.
The Register believes that 1t could
offer no better prize to q township
than than q good road drag. This
paper was q pioneer advocate Of good
roads and wa preach this doctrine

NEW EXTENSION MOVEMENT

How the farmers of South Dakota
will be benefited by the new extern
sion movement under funds provided
by both national and state appropria-
tons was explained by President e. C..
Perisho Of the State College in his ad-
dress from the dairy train which was
u the past two weeks, Friday. I'm
1914, the Smith-Lever bill Of congress
appropriated large sums Of money to
be used through the various state ag-
ricultural colleges for agricultural ex-
tension purposes" said President
Perisho, "and the entire sum must be
used for general extension work out
among the farmers of the state.
None of these funds can be used
for any purpose at the State College
or experiment station. South Dakota's
quota of this appropriation for the
fiscal year 1914-1915 was $4,000. Next
year we will receive in addition to
that amount an extra $4,000, and the
year following that the same amount
plus an additional $11, Zoo. The ten
thousand Is given each year without
any conditions. The six and eleven
thousand are given by the govern
ment upon the condition that the state
appropriate a corresponding sum.
Our recent legislature not only &C
copied the provisions of the Smith
Lever act but also appropriated in the
agricultural extension bill the requir-
ed $4,000 for the first year and Sill
900 for the second year. These sums
are a part of the appropriations of
$4,000 and 100000 made in the bill
for agricultural extension and county
agent work, leaving the sum of $40.
600 each year to be used for the en-
couragement and maintenance Of coun-
ty better farming organizations and
county agents.
"The new agricultural extension bill
No. 258 passed by our recent legisla-
ture, provides for county organiza-
tons and the employment of county
agents; also for the raising of funds
not to exceed 800 per congressional
township. When the funds are raised
the county organizations may decide
what amount of money will be used for
county agent work in the said county.
AS soon as the money is provided for,
then the state will turn over to this
county a sum equal to 60 per cent of
the amount raised by the county.
"This new provision takes the place
of the hitherto well known farmers in
stitute law. The recent enactment
makes it the duty of those in charge
to hold a short or demonstration
course Of at least four days sometime
during the year in every county not
supporting a regular county agent. in
charge Of the state leader or director
OF extension, both Of whom are mem
bers Of the State College faculty.
II want to assure you that the State
College joins with both the govern
ment and the state in an exceptional
effort to be of real value to better
farming in South Dakota. 1t is a big
responsibility but the responsibility is
no greater than the possibility of
achievement; and no duty is too great
for the college when 1t has for its
purpose the improvement Of the farm
ers and their homes. We tender to
you our faithful service and ask In
return your hearty cooperation"

working for the Clarksburg conven-
ton. This means that the Clarks-
burg men OF all denominations will
need to do quick work to make a
good showing at their convention.
Thus far only ninety-three have reg
istered for the convention. OF these
a goodly number are ministers.
The Baptists lead with a; registra-
ton Of .thirty-nine. Doubtless the
Methodists will send in the largest
number since! they have more church
members than any other denomina-
ton in Clarksburg.
Registrations for the convention
which meets here in less than two
weeks are coming in with Increasing
rapidity although the number thus
far registered Is small. The total
number Is now ninety-three, which
seems a long way from the 1900
desired. The total can easily be
reached from the large churches Of
,Clarksburg and vicinity. It will re-
,quire. however. much personal solici-
tation on the part OF the men of
each church to bring in that number.
Letters have been received from OUT
lying towns which indicate that
gcodly delegations will come from
them, though, as yet, the number OF
registrations sent In is small. Per-
haps they are planning a great rush
at the opening Of the convention.

: BALTIMORE, Nov. 5.-Plans for
development of the dairy industry
upon an extensive scale in West Vir-
gina, within easy access of the mar
kets OF the large eastern cities, have
BEEN set in motion by the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad along lines calcu-
Lated to place the state among the
leading producers OF milk, cream,
butter and cheese and increase the
prosperity OF the rural 5secto q.
A meeting was held recently at

which was attended by; authorities
from the agricultural college Of the
state university at Morgantown, far
mers. railroad officials and srepresen-
tatives Of large eastern dairies to
consider the dairying question from
the view point Of greater profits from
this branch OF farm pursuits and
building up large herds.
Members Of large dairy firms Of
eastern cities attended the conference
and there is q likelihood that ship
ping points will soon be selected in
the eastern section Of the state from
which dairy products will be shipped
to New York, Baltimore, Philadel-
pIia and Washington, and eventually
the industry may grow to sufficient
proportions that markets will, be
sought in the cities OF the Central
