New York. Dec. 2S.-All but a
small fraction of the cement and
terra Gotta manufacturers of
America exchange their price quo
tations and other data on the
amount of business handled
through national and regional as
sociations, it developed here today
at the legislative inquiry into the
alleged building trust"
While these revelations accumu-

vestigation OF other construction
lines, one more organization of
building contractors-the hosting
sociation-announc it had dis
solved. The members promised
to have unrestricted, open compe-
tition" in the future.
The Medium Used.
The medium through which the
terra Gotta makers reviewed data
on the business of all their COM
petitors was the National Terra
Gotta society, its former president,
William II. Powell, told the com
mittee. He explained an open
price system" of cards were issued
with each firm designated by code

detail among regional branches of

central sections of the country.
General data was exchanged be-
tween the sections weekly.
Cement manufacturers from va
rious parts Of the country who had
been here attending a convention,
were summoned by subpoena serv-
ers of the committee and they ap-
peared one after another to under

myer. committee counsel.
Prices Uniform.
Quoting from price lists of the
manufacturers who faced him, Mr.,
ITntermyer charged that all the
cement makers had "quadrupled
prices since 1914, and had boosted
them so per cent between January
and October. this year" when the
quotations were slightly lowered.
The prices quoted by all the
manufacturers embraced in the
Portland c Q m en- association
throughout the country were "hor-

he said. Later two of the witnesses
testified the price quoted after any
one of them had made q change.
This association, according to n
summary of its transactions which
were read into the record, spent

Civ Fife 2nth in State

MilDank is the fifteenth city in the
state according to table of tentative
population figures supplied by the De-
paftment of State. In 1910 it was the
fourteenth, but the growth of mo
bridge placed that city in the eleventh
place and forced the other cities down
a notch. The other changes in the re-
turns is loss of population by Lead,
which is larger than any other city in
the state and which placed that city in
the eighth place instead of fourth
which it held at the last census. A
few of the cities show a loss but the
majority of them show substantial
growth:

Production CurtaiIed.

The Tightening of the money mar
kot has affected the Milbank manu-
facturers, and during the past week
they have been forced to cut down the
working force and endeavor to re
trench. The two granite monument
works in the city have laid off fifteen
men and the others are working on
short time. The N. F. Nelson cigar
factory has laid off three men and the
others rave been limited to a $50 ci-
gal day out put, which is {; forty
PEI cent. cut in the production.
The market for the goods is just as
good as ever, if the manufacturers will
carry the naper OF the buyer. But
with the producer and jobber demand
ing cash payments and the weekly
payment of the employees, very few
manufacturers are prepared to carry
a great amount of paper.
This condition will not prevail long,
according to the far-sighted business
men. for as soon as credit is extended
to the producer, business all along the
line will ease up and be resumed
under normal conditions.

For the splendid class Of neople
whom the good Lord sent ont to South
Dakota when he wanted the country
settled no, and that our lot was cast
with them
For the years that are gone, holding
pleasant memories and old time friend
ships, better than the gold of Alaska

For world that looks GOOD to us,
and that has 20 much of beauty and
cheerfulness that the unlovable things
are as spots on the SUM-
For work to do and health of mind

For the fact that our lot was cast
for life in the freest land and under
the most beautiful flag that humanity
has ever known.
That Notwithstanding the high cost
of living, the plaques of social and po-
litical life we can see the road ahead
is getting better and better.
That the destinies of the republic
are again to be in the hands of the
great republican party-the party OF
Lincoln, Mckinley and Roosevelt.
That Bolshevikism, Townley social
