Dry Law Is
Turned Down

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 23.-Repu-
diation of the British Columbia pro-
hibition law, indicated by the $4,000
ma aiority already recorded from yes
terday's balloting, today brought
government officials to consideration
of how the liquor traffic shall be ad-
ministered.
The vote was on the preference be-
tween prohibition and an "act to pro-
vide for government control and sale
in sealed packages of spirituous and
matted liquors"
Officials here believed that the
vote would result in a generous pol
icy in the dispensation OF liquor. not
in open saloons, but in government
stores. Under the prohibition act,
only eight ounces could be purchased,
even with a physicians certificate.
Late returns today on yesterday e
referendum in British Columbia in
dicated that governmental control of
the sale of liquor received a majority
Of at least $4,000 over the present
prohibition law.

SAYS WILSON
PROMISED AID
FORMER RUMANIAN PREMIER
SAYS PRESIDENT PROMISED
TO SEND U. S. ARMY AND
FLEET.

Chicago, Oct. 23-The Chica 60
American prints this evening an In
ternational News Dispatch from Par
is, containing a statement from for
mer Premier Dratieno of Roumania,
regarding Mr. Wilson's promise to
send American soldiers and sailors to
Europe under certain conditions. M.
Dratiena quotes Mr.. Wilson as say
ing at the peace conference on May
81, 1919:
"The Allied and associated powers
Will guarantee to maintain as much
as possible the just conditions to
which they will have agreed.
Let it not be forgotten that their
force is their guarantee. The guar
antee given to you amounts to this:
That the United States will send
from the other side of the ocean
their army and their fleet"
This statement from the man to
whom President Wilson then address
ed his pledge, finally settles the dis
pute between Senator Spencer of Mis-
souri, and Mr.. Wilson. Senator Spen-
Ger alleged in his campaign speeches
that Mr. Wilson promised to send
American soldiers and sailors to Eu-
rope to fight under certain circum-
stances, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the league of nations. Mr..
Wilson publicly denied this and
branded Senator Spencer's statement
as false"

SOUTH DAKOTA
COAL MINE
SHIPPING 200 TONS A DAY TO
FUEL CONSUMERS.

Lennon, Oct. 23-The Claremont
mine, purchased last summer by the
state upon recommendation of the
committee appointed to investigate
the advisability of the state entering
the coal mining business, to protect,
as far as possible, vitizens of the
state against coal shortage, is now
shipping coal to South Dakota points
at the rate of approximately 200 tons
daily.
Several years ago owners of the
mine began grading for railroad to
the property from Haynes, ~ D., thus
connecting the mine with the main
line of the Chicago, Milwaukee
st. Paul railroad through this state.
Owing to the war, This plan was not
completed, although an accurate map
of the mine was made, and the coal
contours outlined The railroad was
to enter the mine through new tun-
mel to be driven through the south
western corner of the property, and
coal for shipping could be loaded in
to cars with but little loss
The state, having purchased this
mine, is now building the proposed
railway, and this, when completed,
will triple the capacity of the mine
in the production of coal.
While the product of the mine is
classified as Ignite, it is of quality
known as blue Ignite" closely ap-
preaching the Roundup product in
heating value and in thermal unit.
The state, in operating this mine.
makes no profit, and coal will be
furnished at cost tes consumers.

AN EVENING
OF ENJOYMENT
RECEPTION OF FACULTIES OF
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The faculties of the normal and
city schools were very pleasantly en-
tertained last evening at the Presby-
terian church by the Westminster
Adult Bible class and the Big Broth
ers. The entertainment took place in
the church parlors and about $50
people were in attendance.
The program opened with a boxing
match by Messrs Heinz and Mitter-
ling, both of whom were blind folded
The ladies' match was omitted for
lack of pugilists. Then followed a
necktie tying contest between two
teams of young folks and later by two
teams of old folks. This stunt Great
ed some excitement.
Next followed a contest of balanc-
ing on a jug long enough to write
ones name. This contest was won by
M H. Shearer who received a pump
kin full of candy as a reward. Then
came an automobile guessing contest
which created a lot of merriment.
Rev. Johnson gave an excellent
talk on the purpose of the reception
and the aims of the church program
He stressed cooperation among the
teachers in the furtherance of relig
ious work among high school anc
normal students. After the program
ice cream, cake and coffee were serv
ed in abundance. The evening wa
well spent and enjoyed by all.

The following is the text of the
message sent by P. ]. Crandall, Sec

''he present low prices paid for
livestock and grain products to the

concern. Crops and livestock produc-

rent markets only about half the cost
of production.
Unless proper credit assistance is
given and steps taken Immediately to
relieve the market situation thou
sands of farmers will be forced out
of business and placed among the
nonproducers.
Unrest and discomfort are grow

with this situation we feel should be
exercised Immediately and we urge

TAXATION BOARD
F|XESAVERAGEs
REPORT SHOWS TOTAL ASSESS
ED VALUATION SOUTH DA- =
kOTA TO NOW REACH $2,-
257,579, 1886.

Pierre, Oct. 23.-The table of av-
erages by the state tax commission
for the 1920 assessment places the
real estate average for the state at
s44.64, with the average for 1919 at
s40.S5. The highest average for any
one county is that of Clay, with an
average of s12S.68.
Taking into consideration the
price asked for farming land in the
state the past year the assessment
figures are certainly far below the
asking price. OF course, the figures
given show the average, and include
the low-priced lands along with those
held at high rate, but in going over
the list of counties, outside of possi-
bly, a few tracts in some of the ex-
treme western counties, it is doubtful
if single acre of land in any of the
counties could be purchased at the
average assessment return made.
In some of the extreme western
counties with the average running
about eight dollars, there are no
doubt, tracts which can be bought at
a lower price, but in the eastern
counties only 10 show averages over
500 an acre, and in the southeastern
part of the state the tract which
could be bought at 500 an acre
would not be in the market very long,
whatever its character.
There is some complaint over the
average valuations placed on live
stock when comparison is made with
present selling figures, but the as
sessment was made on selling figures
last spring, and the drop of the sea-
SON places them out of what is con-
sidered the true proportion at the
present time.
Automobiles show an average or
s382.74 an increase from the average
of s367.06 for last year. The asses
sor's returns showed that Lawrence
county had the highest priced cars
in the estimation of the assessors,
who returned the average value for
that county at s55S.24. which was
reduced by the state board to
S50242.
Corson county assessors thought
the cars in their county would aver
age up at about $20944, but this was
increased by the state beard to
s269.44. The different counties esti-
mated cars at average values ranging
between these two figures with the
general average for the state at
$382.74.
The total assessed valuation OF the
state for the year is shown at W.
257,579,S36, the figure for last year
being $2,094,8s6,774.
