The city manager is given the
right to be present at meetings of
the city commissioners and to take
part in the discussion Of all mat
ters coming before the govern
ing body of the city, but shall
have no vote. The city manager
will have no power to contract for
the payment of money in excess of
5000, unless the payment of a lar
ger sum is first approved by the
city commissioners.
Rapid City will be the first city

the experience will be watched
with interest by the residents of
other cities where there is senti-
ment in favor of the employment
of a city manager.

THE BURDEN OF

It is curious how the troubles of
the Old Hebrews were like unto
our own. They lived in country
much like our own; it was a land
Of livestock; the hay crop and
water supply was occasionally un-
certain; and occasionally they had
grasshoppers. 1t seems that all
good people and all pioneer people
have been afflicted by grasshop-
pers. Early settlers were practic-
ally driven out of Illinois, Iowa,
and Kansas by grasshoppers. We
have all heard stories Of how they
were so thick that they darkened
the sun and sometimes stopped
railroad trains.
Here in Haakon county we have
made progress in fighting the pest

Descamps turned down offers of good
