Dressed Meats-Demands are good,
although hot weather and abundance

Washington.-A deluge Of person
al inquiries concerning future steps
in the army draft and of pleas from
industrial concerns for exemption

the provost marshars office a state
ment that questions must be address
ed to local boards and that claims
for industrial exemption must go
later TO the district boards.
No general class of workmen will
be exempted, Provost Marshal Gen

PEN Atty FOR FIRE

Do you, Mr. Reader, wish to
protect the lives and pocket books
of yourself and the public in gen.
eral? OF course you do, everyone
does.
Publicity of the Personal Liza
bility Law will be a big step to-
wards this end. Explain to them
both the criminal and civil action
they are placing themselves liable
to, when they carelessly or negli-
gently set fire or permit it to be
set or carelessly or negligent'y
permit it to spread.
Everyone in this state is liable
under this law, just passed by the
Legislature of South Dakota: liza
ble in criminal and civil action.
Liable in criminal action to the
extent of One Hundred Dollars
(s100.) or thirty days in the county
Jail or both.
Liable in civil action for all
damage or loss occasioned by any
fire they may set carelessly or
negligently.
1t is the intention of the South
Dakota Fire Marshall department
to reduce, thru strict enforcement
of this law, the enormous fire
waste in this state 20 per cent of
which is caused by carelessness.
There was oyer 500, 900. 90 dam
age done in this state for the
month of Jecember 1915 alone
by fire, 20 per cent Of which was
carelessness.

RAILROAD TO

Time to Build Paper R. Rs. Again

1t is rumored that the Faith
branch of the CM&StP Ry will
change their track from the Virgin
creek valley to the highland east
of their present track. The new
line would swing out from Prom
Use and following The high land
miss LaPlant two Or three miles
to the south, again connecting with
the old line at or near Ridgeview.
This would bring the line about
seven miles to the Agency; and a
branch to tap the country sur
rounding the Agency and Forest
City would not be absurd to pre-
dict.
The highland route would save
the railroad thousands of dollars
each year that are now expended
to repair the ravages of Virgin

Comparison of Some Pay Rolls 10
Which Forest City is Interested
Sundays issue of the Aberdeen
Daily American of Feb. 25 con-
tains an extensive write-up of our
neighbor on the north. Mobridge.
which with the backing of the
great Milwaukee Railway system.
cannot help but forge to the front
being the great central fact of
prosperous and growing city.
The article in question states
the population to be $500. and the
monthly payroll of the Milwaukee
Ss0,000. This is a percapita pay
ment, by the Milwaukee company,
of S32. Inquiry at the Superin-
tendent's office at Cheyenne Agen-
cy develops the fact that the
monthly disbursements of the Of
fee are $500 percapita, for this
community, the total amount be-
ing 1913, 717.00 per month. lnclud-
ing the Government Boarding
School, at the Agency, and Forest
City, there is a population here Of
400, by census, which gives us a
percapita of $S4. This is not in
Guiding the Indian Fair, nor SAL
aries of stores. churches, public or
district schools. &c, which would
make a percapita, monthly, of
very near S100
A comparison of bank deposits
also speaks we'll for this county.
The deposits in the Mobridge
banks is given at S485, 900. We
find that Gettysburg's banks, with
less than half the population of
Mobridge, are carrying deposits
of over S687,716.67, these being
the figures from the last report
made to the State bank examiner,
December, 1916.
The article states that water
power can be developed there at a
cost of something over million
and half. Such an enterprise
would not hurt Forest City, be-
cause Mobridge would then want
a direct Railway to the State Cap
itol at Pierre, in addition to de-
mainding that the river be i'm
proved for the benefit of naviga-
ton.
