very conservative. For instance
it is estimated there will be 100,-
600 passenger cars in the state
next year and 5000 motor trucks
whereas on June 10 of this year
there had been lOO,2O2 passenger
cars registered with many more
still to be registered.
As rough estimate the comm
ission figured there would be half
of the cars in the state of the
light class, those that weigh less
than 1000 pounds. Fords and the
like. These pay S13 license fee
yielding a total of S65O,OOO. 1t is
estimated there would be $1,000
passenger cars in the second class,
those weighing from 1000 to 5000
pounds, which are assessed SIT
and yield $435,0OO. The next class
are those weighing from 1900 to
1000 pounds and it is estimated
there would be $1,000 of these
which being taxed at $1,000 wou-
Id yield 100000. The heaviest
class of cars those weighing 1900
pounds or more pay S35, and it is
estimated there will be 10000 of
these in the state. 1t is eNtimat-
ed there would be 5000 trucks,
1000 light trucks with a carrying
capacity of less than one ton as
sessed at S15 and 1000 with a
greater capacity which range in
tax from $40 to SIS according to
load capacity. These it is estimat-
ed would yield total of $l20,OOO.

New Auto LiSenCe
Law Will Yield Huge
Sums For State Roads

Pierre, S. ID. 1t rs conservative.
ely estimated by the state high.
way commission that the new au-
tOmobile registration law, which
goes into effect on January l.
1923, will yield $1,S55,OO0 annually
of which the state will get Sl,297
500 or 20 per cent of the fees cha
rges and the balance to go to the
county motor vehicle fund and a
small portion to the secretary of
state for the office work, buying
of license plates eft cetera in the
license of cars.
The object of the new law was
to relieve the general taxpayer of
the burden of building aew roads
and transferring this cost to the
ones who use the roads most, the
automobile owner. However. it is
estimated by the commission the
automobile owner will find that
his tax on cars will be somewhat
reduced if he resides in municip-
al . corporation though there may
be a slight increase to the car
owner residing outside. This is
due to the fact that motor vehic-
les of all kinds will be exempt
from a personal property tax to
which they have been subjected in
the past.
All of this money, the state S
portion of it. that is, will be used
entirely in new work and the only
thing remaining to be done which
must be done by the next legislat-
ure, will be providing the neces-
sary funds for maintaining the
roads that have already been
built. This will probably have to
be in the nature of a general levy,
which, however, will be very small
it is said. The state has a number
of federal aid roads and projects
which must be maintained under
the contract with the government
and the state roads must also be
treated in like manner if the
taxpayers are to get the use of
them in any proportion to the val
ue they put in these roads.
The amount to be raised by the
new registration law is small
when compared to what has been
done in other states but it is be-
lieved by the highway commission
that it will be ample for some
time to meet South Dakotas need
in the way of new roads. For
instance" said Highway Commits
sioner Andrew Marvick, MINI
esota will spend more than $50,
100000 for good roads this year
and Missouri has recently voted
S6O,OO0,OO0 in bonds for the same
purpose. These enormous sums
are not needed in South Dakota
at this time even if it could be
raised"
In making it's estimates on what
the new registration law will pro-
duce, the commission has been

Custer HiWay
Stage Coach
Thru KadOka

Sunday forenoon the Buffalo
Bill Stage Coach, which is making
an advertising trip over the Gust
er Battlefield Highway from Sher-
idan, Wyoming to Omaha, Nebra-
ska, arrived in Kadoka. The old
coach attracted great amount of
attention from amongst our peop-
lie, and will continue 70 do so all
along the line. The stage coach
is the identical one used by Buff
alo Bill in the early days when he
officiatcd on the high set ald
held the lines over the four hol ses
that drew the coach. In making
this trip T. J. Ostrom is the driver
and Mr.. Ostrom is also an early
day driver of the stage coach
when Indians and bandits made
the life of a stage coach driver
one of constant danger. He is
again occupying the seat on the
original coach he drove through
this country in the early days.
Inside the coach are many relics
of the west, and a special three
reel feature film is carried with
them and these pictures are
shown at various towns along the
route. A showing of these films
was made at the Scenic Theatre in
Kadoka and big crowd was in
attendance considering the short
time that was given for publicity
work, and the fact that the
heavy rains has made the coach a
little behind schedule. w. D..
Fisher, secretary Of the Custer
Battlefield Highway Association is
also making the trip over the
route, and is looking after the
renewal of the markings and sign
boards. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Fisher to keep the highway up to
its present standard as the best
marked highway in the entire
country.
The trip being made by the
Stage coach us an advertising
stunt that will attract great
amount of attension 20 this great
scenic highway to the west and
will bring additional numbers of
tourists through Kadoka.

ions and $4,000 for sewerage

RauCher Struck By Rattler
Attempts To Pull OF Rattles
While Standing On Snake

New Underwood, S. D. -Althou-
gh Ed Whitehead. a rancher, has
lived on the prairies all his life
and has killed probably hundreds
of rattle snakes during his time
on the plains, yet he failed to heed
the warning of one OF the reptiles
Saturday and his oversight may
prove fatal. While riding the
range Whitebread came upon a
rattlesnake which Immediately da-
rted into shallow hole in the
ground. The rancher says he
thought he would pick the rattles
from the snake without disturb
ing it otherwise and so he placed
his boot on a portion of the snak-
e's body and reaching down took
hold of the rattles and started to
pull them off, while the snakes
head as he thought was inside the
hole. The snake doubled back AS
they have a habit of doing and
struck the offending rancher on
the right hand. Whitcbread drop
ped the snake and rode with all
possible speed for town. where
under physicians care he is now
slowly recovering.
