in at least $4,000 from the trapping

Sisseton.-The vet faction of this
place, after winning a favorable deci-
sion from Judge Bouck, received an
other jolt from the board of county
commissioners Of Roberts county when
that body refused to approve the bonds
of the two successful applicants, and
for this reason the town will still re-
main dry.
1t is understood that the vets will
carry the matter through the courts
again, but as yet no steps in this d.
rection have been taken.
The history of the saloon fight here
is a most interesting one. At he
election held here last spring, the vets
won by a majority of n vote. The
drys contested the result and demand
ed a recount, but this did not change
the result.
Then the board of county commits
sioners called for applications. ST
were brought in at the regular meet
ing, but as there was no one present
to offer objections the board deferred
action Until the following meeting,
when the applications of two were
approved.
Then the drys secured an injunction
against the board from granting Ii.
censes on the grounds that the two ia.
vored applications were approved at
other than a regular meeting. Judge
Bouck has just handed down a deci
sion dissolving the injunction and
holding that the board was wholly
within it's rights in tabling action or
the applications until an adjourned
meeting.
The day following this decision the
board met to approve the bonds of the
two applicants, and promptly turned
down all bonds, leaving the city still
in the dry column.

Improved Farm Demand.

Huron.-There is an increasing de-
mand for improved farms by both To-
cal and eastern tenants, and it has
been impossible for the local real es,
tate men to handle this demand in n
respect. This is due to the fact that
every improved farm in Beadle county
either has a tenant or is farmed by
the owner. With this condition ex-
listing, it would seem to he a very
good opportunity for the nonresident
owners Of property in South Dakota
to improve their farms, as there is
al increasing demand for such i'm,
proved property.

Yankton.-After great opposition,
