MORE ABOUT THE
new RAILROAD
Promoters are Working from
Both Ends.

We are as much in the dark as
ever in regard to the proposed
Huron & Northeastern railroad.
A survey has been completed
from Wallace through Waubay.
Frank M. Henderson, the pro
moter, Mr.. Phillips, a financial
agent, and Willard Richards of
the engineering force were visit
ors in this city Wednesday for a
few minutes, but they were very
sparing with their information.
When questioned in regard to
the location of the line they
seemed to have nouhing tangible
to offer. Mr.. Henderson, for
some reason best known to HIM
self, seems to wish to avoid pub
licity.
Claims are made that the
bonds are sold and the financial
backing of tine enterprise assur-
ed. The promoter thus far has
failed to advance any proposition
to Webster, and from his con-
duct toward us we Judge he has
none to offer. We are here to
boost any enterprise for the ad-
vancement or developement OF
Day county, but we can frankly
state that we are in a quandry in
regard to this Huron 4 North
eastern proposition.
Another railroad deal which is
significant of future events was
the taking over of the Fairmount
& Veblen by the 500 yesterday
There is also a we'll grounded
rumor that the 500 is to take
over the Dakota Central within
the next thirty days and connect
the two roads by running a line
from Roslin to Webster anC
thence southeast to Watertown
This would give the 500 a line
through the heart of eastern
South Dakota, a line which they
have evidently desired for some
time.
The absorption of the Dakota
Central by the 500 would b'
practically an invasion of North
western territory, and it is
very logical presumption tha
the Northwestern might attemp
to reciprocate by invading So
territory with a line from Huro
to eastern North Dakota points.

new Huron and Northeastern
Railway company, which is con-
templating constructing a road
from Huron, S. D., to Fergus
Falls, Minn. G. w. Phillips, the

The plans include making
Clark division point for freight
and possibly later also for pas
senger service. Preliminary
surveys are about completed
and the new road will connect
with the Fairmount & Neblen
line which was built a few years
ago. Phillips stated that trains

made happy by new ruling OF the
post office department, which after
July ! increases their yearly salary
to 81 200. All of them are fortunate
in working over routes "a miles or
more i'll length and that fact places
them on flat salary III the future.
Two of the six carriers out of Sis
seton have been receiving this in
creased salary for some time past,
but after the first of the month the
other four carriers will come under
the new provision and be paid ac-
cordingly. The postmaster genera

salaries should be graded according

School Officers Take Notice.

All school officers should re-
member that a new law goes in
to effect on July ], that requires
every school district to publish
an annual report for the fiscal
year ending on the above men
toned date, in the newspaper
published nearest to the geo
graphical center of the district.
This law is mandatory, the
measure being passed so that
the taxpayers will have know
| ledge of how much money has
been spent, for what purpose,
the amount on hand and where
! deposited. The school tax is
the heaviest tax our people have
to pay and they are entitled to
know how much is collected and
for what purpose it is disbursed.
This law has applied to indepen-
dent districts for many years
and it is now extended to take
in all school districts.
School officers should prepare
and publish their eport S

fiscal year.
