sum of $101.66 against the Minneap-
lolis & st. Louis road. This was in
connection with an accident occurring
at the crossing near the tractor. COM
pany's building. Riley and his com
panions claim that the engineer fail
ed to give any signals regarding the
approaching of the train and that, in
order to avoid a collision Of his auto
with the train he was forced to turn
sharply, resulting in the overturning
of the auto. The eompany's evidence
was not in accordance, in this@re-
tspect, with that Of Mr.. Riley's wit
nesses, but the jury considered that
Riley had the preponderating testi-
mony; The cases involving the same
points by Funk and Marsh were con-
tinued over to the next term.

The high water in the lake this
spring and the thick ice covering it
has resulted in more or less damage
along the shore. At Stony Point,
where the platforms and docks and
quays were removed to what was
thought a safe distance from the wa
tiers edge have been heaved up and
pushed further ashore. At Hillcrest
the cement abutments and retaining
walls have been handled like toys in
some places. Much damage has been
done to the properties of G. w. Case

ice two feet thick, several miles long
and wide, gets to moving with a stiff
breeze pushing it against the embank-
ments, something must give way be-
fore the pressure.

HOW GOOD ROADS HELP
OUT THE TEXAS FARMERS

The testimony of Texas farmers is
that good roads are doing more to-
day to put some counties of that state
on the map than any other agency.
In an article on Before and After
Good Roads" the Pittsburg (Texas)
Gazette says:
"A private letter from Greenyille
says that since good roads have been
built in that county the farmers are
hauling four bales of cotton into
Greenville with one span of mules,
while il took -four mules to haul two
bales before the good roads were
built, and ven then they often failed
to get to town. After a trial of good
roads, nobody will ever trade them
off for the other kind. No county
can make satisfactory progress with
out them
Good roads are putting towns and
counties on the map throughout the
country; they are simply a paving
business investment for any section,
a county cannot have a better ad
vertisement than the statement thai
it is "a county Of good roads,; for
Weli-kept highways lead to progres-
sive towns and are evidences of good
business enterprise and the genera
prosperity Of the people.
This is the motto of the Texas
farmers: Good roads; more grain
and more grazing; more grit and
more sumption; more hominy and
more hogs"
On that platform the Fort Worth
Star-Telegraph predicts that the
farmers will win out.
The farmers of Georgia have been
working along that line, and in every
instance results have been CRAFTY

Proposed Levy For
Fourth Regiment Band

The particular form of the petition
which prays for the levy of not to eX
coed one mill on the dollar of the
assessed valuation throughout the City
Of Watertown, is supplement with a
statement from the band, reading as
follows:
ITO the electors and officers of Wa
tertown, S. D.:
THE undersigned band members
state in reference to the proposed
measure, submitted to you at the next
city election, for funds for the band,
THAT said band will be satisfied with
and appreciate it if an amount not to
exceed $2,500.00 is placed in the APP
preparation levy for said band for
the next year"
The appropriation is made by the
city organization authorized to make
the levy and such appropriation is
under the law of this state obliged
to be made for a definite sum-. The
rate OF per cent is established by the
county auditor.
1t appears also that this a%ppropria-
ton of public funds for the purpose
VI Tree uluSlC anu cAlcl ldluluS luc
public with band concerts, etc, is a
matter of annual consideration. The
language Of the statutory provisions
in this respect in the opinion of at
Htorneys leaves no doubt about this
condition. The band will get such as
.sistance as the council shall deter
mine each year it shall have, after
authority has been given by the elect
sors. 1t may be said that the electors
should establish this amount, but
that is not necessary because appro-
priation levies are made in the dis
erection of the duly. authorized organ
ization-in other words, the city
council or board OF commissioners or
trustees. The only requisite for the
exercise Of this discretion is that a
vote authorizing it is given by the
electors.
The band members have made this
statement hereinbefore referred to
and very nearly all of them have
signed it. At any rate, the band
stands committed to it and so it is
still within the discretion of the coun-
ell to grant a smaller amount or an
amount up to $2,500.00. This should
be satisfactory to every fair minded,
reasonable elector of this city. The
band is an educational Institution and
is as much a part Of u public life
ais any city function can be and it
deserves the support for its existence
and maintenance out of the public
funds.

Bramble expires the coming June,

nossiblv that of another member. In
case TWO vacancies occur. the women
have proposed Mrs. Pearl Pope and
Mrs. Dr.. Sherfey for the positions.
In The event hat but one member is
TO be chosen, the mutual agreement
is that Mrs. Pope shall be the ca3si-
date. Hitherto, under the commits
sion form, the election Of members
OF the board has taken place at the
regular city election, but City After
ney Mcfarland holds, and other law
vers agree with him, that under the
council form the school election mast
be held in June, separate and apart
from any regular election for other
purposes. Inasmuch as the women
have the right to vote for members
of the school board, and since the
women of the clubs will strive. TO get
out a full vote on the part of the
women OF the city, there is likely to
be a large attendance on the polls in
June, it is thought.
