STATE NEWS.

Lemmon-Recent rains throughout
the greater part of western South
Dakota have greatly improved pas
turage, and accordingly livestock
will be assured of an abundance of
feed during the remainder of the fall.
Watertown-The budget ordinance
appropriating funds for running
Watertown during the coming fiscal
year has been introduced in the city
council and provides $119,137, which
Is an increase of about 100000 over
the appropriation of a year ago.
Salem-The valuation of property
in Salem was lowered 100000 by
the changed system of taxation
whereby moneys and credits and
mortgages are taxed separately. The
present valuation Of the city for tax
alton, exclusive of moneys and cred
its, is about eight hundred thousand
dollars.
Watertown-Scrap iron, bolts,
horseshoes and other pieces of metal
concealed in bundles of grain in a
field near Florence, caused serious
damage to a threshing machine. The
metal pieces were fed into the ma
chine and disabled the thresher. A
reward has been offered for the ar
rest and conviction of the guilty par
ties.
Flandreau-Steps have been taken
here TO organize a local branch of
the Friends of Irish Freedom society.
and il is expected to start out with
q good charter membership, as there
are a large number of people of Irish
descent here and in this vicinity. A
branch of the order recently was or
ganized at Colman. The work of
organizing branches will be pushed
throughout the state.
Ramona-Fred Hoyer, known as
the millionaire farmer" of Hawar-
den, Ia, has been in this vicinity e v
eral days looking after the threshing
on a half section farm which he owns
near Ramona. In 1875 he came to
this country from Germany penniless,
and with only his hands and a will
irgness to work hard to start with
he has accumulated farm lands and
property which make him one of the
wealthiest men of the northwest.
Observation-Disclosures girls appear
to be popular among the young men
OF the other states. Within the past
ten days no less than two dozen mar
riage licenses have been issued to
young couples where the bride re-
sides in Aberdeen and the bride
groom comes from another state. Or
the other hand, Aberdeen young men
appear to believe in South Dakota
wives for South Dakotans, for not
single Aberdeen young man has mar
ried a girl from another state fol
many months.
Huron-The melon kings of thi!
territory are the Millett brothers
who farm on a large scale in thi.
vicinity. The other day one of th'
brothers came to town with a Wagon
loaded with melons raised by them
240 in the lot. which he readily solo
at prices ranging from 40 cents T.
SIPS each. The melons proved
much more profitable crop than small
grain or corn and gave a big return
for the acreage devoted to them.

lust as we 90 to press this morning
the Register is in receipt OF the follow
ing despatch from former Governor
VIM. A. MacCorkle, of Charleston,
chairman of the State Liberty Loan
campaign. Ii speaks for itself:
Only 10 per cent of the population
of West Virginia subscribed to the
Fourth Liberty Loan. This was total
of l62 1000 out of a population of ,24O,-
600. This is too low. In other words,
more than 100000 people gave no
part of their substance to the greatest
contest ever waged for human liberty
and the democracy of the world. II
is not fair to those who were sub
scribers. 1t is up TO us in this cam
paign to be fair to the 10000 of the
State who have contributed. The mil
lion people should come up. This is
not aimed to be offensive, but it is plain
fairness that this vast majority OF our
people shall do their share. Will you
give extensive publicity TO the prop
osition that the million do their part !
Nothing but the most vigorous action
will bring the desired result.
