COURT MAKES LEVY
OF 15I, MILLS

The County Court in session
here this week, made a levy of
fifteen and one half mills to pro-
vide funds to carry on the busi-
ness of the county for the year
1916 or this amount ten
mills will be turned into
what will be known as the Cur
rent Expense Fund. All bills
audited by the Court will be paid
out of this fund. The balance
of the levy, five and a half mills,
will be used for the purpose of
retiring warrants.
BY pursuing this method the
County will be out of debt by
this time next year, and while il
is going to work a hardship on
the county by holding up the
building of roads and other
needed improvements, still in
the long run We can't help bat
believe that it will prove for the
best.
Other business transacted by
the Court this week was:
Petition Of l.. e. Davis, ct al
for Newport-South Beach ferry
dismissed for want of jurisdic-
ton.
Petition of l.. e. Davis, ct al,
for road from South Beach to
Waldport along the top of the
bluffs, dismissed for reason that
the petition was not drawn prop
erly.
Report of viewers on Wald-
port-Yachats road accepted, and
road ordered opened.
In the matter Of building and
locatin a bridge ac-
cross the Yaquina river. at or
near Toledo, Oregon; 1t is the
consensus of opinion of this
Court, that said bridge be built,
and that said building thereof be
provided for as soon hereafter
as the taxing situation of this
County will permit.
! The bills of the county were
audited and warrants drawn for
payment OF same. We will pub
lish this list next issue.

Redtield, S. d., May 10.-Nothing
that has thus far developed in the
pending primary campaign for the Re-
publican gu%bernatoral nomination
brought a broader smile of satisfaction
to the face of Peter Norbeck than did
r. O. Richards challenge to a Joint
debate. Mr.. Richards letter convey
ing the challenge was awaiting Mr..
Norbeck upon his return home from a
speaking trip, and the alacrity with
which he indited his letter of accept
ance, was noteworthy.
Mr.. Norbeck welcomes the oppor.
tunity to get at the truth OF various
charges being spread broadcast by
his opponents, being fully aware that
a correct understanding of the truth
will convict them not only of insin-
cerity, but also Of carefully planned
fabrication. Mr.. Norbeck's letter of
acceptance is as follows:
Your letter of May second, chal-
longing me to joint debate, WIS receiv-

you have been making all over the
state you have been asking people to
vote against me because there are l.

LEAGUE BEING FORMED

Representatives from nine towns
met in Brookings last Thursday for a
preliminary meeting for the organiza-
ton of a baseball league. The second
meeting is scheduled for tonight at
which time representatives from Ar
lington, Aurora, Bushnell, Brookings,
Elkton, Castlewood, Estelline, Toronto
and White will meet to make final
plans and schedules for the league. No
Sunday games will be played.
Each town joining the league will be
permitted to have 25 home men for
the team, and each will have the priv
ilege Of hiring three men at any lime.
Probably twenty-five games will be
played, half Of which will be or the
home grounds. Each team will get its
home gate receipts and pay it's share
for the umpires,

calling on the business men and base

season tickets, with fairly good results,
1t is hoped the two hundred tickets
will be sold in order that Brookings
may have a team in the league.

from the Board Of Church Erection
the remainder was raised in the church
and among the friends of the church.
After the money was secured Rev. w.
p. Lemon, of Newark, n. J., also a
former pastor, preached from the text:
Ps. S7-2, The Lord Loveth the Gates
Of Zion"
In the evening Rev. w. NJ. MAR of
State College, delivered an inspiring
and appropriate address in which he
said some practical things about the
building of an effective church organ
ization. Monday evening Rev. w. A.
Mast, of Bookings. preached on, Ps.

Thee-Zion City of Our God" On
Tuesday evening Rev. w. p. Lemon
preached and on Wednesday evening
Rev. Leon l.. Smythe, of LeSeur,
Mimi, a former pastor, preached. On
Thursday evening the closing evening
of the services of dedication there
were speeches by some of the local
people who have been actively engag-
ed in the work of building the church.
The building is complete throughout.
1t is modern in every way, with com
plete kitchen and dining rooms and
class rooms in the basement. The
building is equipped with electric
lights and steam heat. 1t will seat
several hundred people and is a very
attractive and comfortable little
church.
The people of Volga are to be con
graduated on their wisdom in rect
ing such a church building. The Pres
byterian church Of Nolga is the only
English speaking congregation in the
village and is made up of people of
different denominations who have
put away their UNCONVENTIONAL differ
ences and have united in this splen-
did enterprise.

PRES. WILSON CALLS TEXAS,
ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO
GUARDS
WILL PREVENT FURTHER TEXAS RAIDS
Glenn Springs, Texas, Raid Calls For
Strengthening of Border
Patrol

President Wilson has called out the
national guard of Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico to deal with the border
situation.
Secretary Baker has issued the fol.
lowing statement regarding the use OF
the guard:
"The outbreak in the Big Bend dis.
trict of the Rio Grande has so far
further emphasized the danger of sim
liar occurrences along our long border
that the President has called out the
national guard of Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas and directed them to report
to General Funston, who will assign
them to stations along the border for
patrol duty.
I'm addition to that, two additional
regiments of regular infantry have
been directed to proceed to the border,
and such further arrangements will be
made as are necessary for the com
plete security of the people of the
United States against raids of this
character"
Secretary Baker said the guard of
the three border states would make
available 1000 men.
In addition, three regiments of resu-
lar infantry were ordered to the Dor
der.
These regiments are the Thirteenth
infantry, now at Pittsburgh, n. Y;
the Third infantry at Madison bar.
racks, divided between Watertown and
Oowego, N. Y; the T~wenty-first In
fantry at Vancouver barracks, and two
battalions of the Fourteenth infantry
one located at Fort Lawton, near Seat
tie, Wash, and one at Spokane, Wash,
The total additional force sen to the
border under these orders, including
both regulars and national guard, is
approximately 1000 men.
Secretary Baker announced also that
published reports that the raid on
Glenn Springs had been organized on
the American side of the line, accord.
ing to Mexican reports, had been tele,
graphed to General Funston that he
might investigate.
Secretary Baker said the orders
sending more troops to the border
were made up on the joint recommen.
dation of both General Scott and Gen,
eral Funston and were without s'gnifi-
canoe in connection with the Scott,
Obregon conferences.

of several record holders of the con-

The University of North Dakota and
the University of South Dakota will
probably start more men than any
other members of the conference, but
Hamline, winners of the meet in 1914,
and again in 1915, will probably enter
the best individual competitors.

ing the conditions such that these
matters cannot be mentioned in the
debate.
"The people of the state are inter
ested in knowing whether your
charges are false or true, and whereas
there are less than 200 salaried state
employees and the state expenses Of
South Dakota compare favorably with
any state in the union, l shall not per-
nit you to dodge these issues.
81 am perfectly willing to discuss
your primary laws, past, present and
future, including the one which you
call the "Norbeck" law. This law is
practically a re-enactment of the law
of 1907, which was put upon the sta
tute books two years before l was a
direct result of the work of the "PRI-
MARY LEAGUE of which you were
manager.
81 am certainly willing to debate
with you the question Of rural credits
to which you are so opposed, and the
tax amendment to the constitution
against which you are so vigorously
protesting. All / ask is that the de-
bate be open for the discussion of all
the issues of the campaign, including
the different measures you have pub
licly advocated the last five years. l
shall give you a chance to prove the
statements you have been making TO
the voters-I shall make you prove
them or admit that they are not true.
81 will meet you in w debates, n
of which shall be at Brookings. You
may name the other place, providing
it is some place where neither of us
have so far made speaking arrange
ments."

DAKOTA CENTRAL TO BE SOLD

That the South Dakota Central rail
way will be sold on June II as order
ed by Judge j. d. Elliott of the federal
court, is practically certain, says the
Sioux Falls Argus Leader, as the stock
holders have utterly failed in their
efforts to raise the necessary funds to
stave off the sale by %liquidating the
roads Indebtedness.
This situation has again brought out
various rumors in connection with the
transfer of the property to some other
railroad company. The most persist
.ent rumors have been floating around
here that the Milwaukee and Illinois
Central are both anxious to get on
troll of the road, and it is known that
the Minneapolis and st. Louis has for
a number of years sought to make the
South Dakota Central a part of their
system. The prevailing opinion around
here is that the Milwaukee is most
likely to secure the road, notwith-
standing it is an excellent feeder for
the Illinois Central. Should the Mil
waukee secure the road it is more than
likely that one of the lines between
Sioux Falls and Cotton would be prac-
tically abandoned. 1t is claimed that
officials of the Milwaukee road recent
ly travelled the full length of the
South Dakota Central and have also
posted themselves regarding the bust
mes done by the latter company.

ROADS RUNS
CREATING INTEREST
TWO RUNS TO BE MADE FROM
BROOkiNGS-HURON 10th AND
SIOUX FALLS 18th
A SURVEY Of ALL ROADS WILL Be MADE
c. A. GuIIick, Secretary Of Commercial
Club, Working In Cooperation
With Boosters

With Appreciation and Development
Week but a few days in the future, the
people who have the work in charge
find that the automobile runs which
are to be made over the leading high
ways of the state during Appreciation
and Development Week will undoubted-
ly be a grand success. The run over
the Black & Yellow Trail will be
made on Tuesday, the 10th of May.
Starting at Pierre at $50 in the
morning and at Bookings at 1890,
the official parties will meet in Huron
at 6:15 in the evening, where the visit
ors will be guests at one of the com
mercial clubs so-called Commercial
Club Dinners. The Huron Commercial
Club will also furnish storage for all
the visitors autos free of charge and
the evening will be devoted to the or
SANITATION of a state Black q Yellow
Trail Association under the direction
of j. w. Parmley, President of the
Development League and likewise
President of the Good Roads Associa-
ton Of South Dakota. The success of
this enterprise depends upon the con
dition in which the roads are and the
number of people who cooperate and
take part in the run. 1t is felt certain
that this work will place the good
roads movement in South Dakota be-
fore the attention of a large number of
people and hence make it a statewide
proposition, rather than a number of
Independent local projects.
The returning autos from Huron will
meet in Brookings with party fr0E,
Milbank at noon, May II, and will pro-
coed to Sioux Falls on the following
schedule:
