st. Paul, July 27-Ivan Bowen,
state railroad and warehouse COM
missioner was today appointed state
fuel administrator by Governor ]. A.
o. Preus.
AT the same time the governor
transmitted telegram to the COVER
nors of North and South Dakota.
Iowa and Wisconsin TO secure their
aid in the campaign to receive a
sufficient coal supply for the north
west through the head of the lakes

certain the supply on hand and also
what will be needed for the winter.
Commissioner Bowen, the govern

CLAIM STRIKE
ORDERLY ONE
REPORTS FROM OVER SOUTH
DAKOTA INDICATES THAT
BUT LITTLE TROUBLE
ARISING.

Sioux Falls, July 27-That strik-
ing railway shopmen in all South
Dakota centers are maintaining or
derly conduct is the consensus of re-
ports received from Aberdeen, Wa
tertown, Pierre, Mobridge and HUI
ron today. A number of the men
have obtained other work to carry
them over the period of the strike.
No disturbances have been reported
from any point
About SO men are reported to
have been picketing at aWtertown,
but they have been orderly. They
claim to have persuaded SO men to
quit their employment Strikebreak-
ers are being employed at this place
and the roundhouse foreman of the
Rock Island asserts that full crews
will be at work by the end of the
week.
Uncertainties of railroad service
have boosted the express business of
the Sioux Falls Transportation com
pany, ii was stated by Charles F.
Kreiger, president. He says that ev-
cry bus going from here to Brook-
ings, Vermilion and Mitchell has a
number of parcels. The removal of
the Mitchell train is expected to in
crease materially the amount of ex-
press carried by the busses.
Local agents of all railroads run
ming into this city stated this after
noon that there had been no furth-
er change in their train service or in
the strike situation locally.
Much of the curtailment of train
service is attributed to the coal
shortage. While strikers concede
that this is probably an important
factor, the ycontend that this short
age is a result of the general effec-
tiveness of the strike, even though
the local situation may not be direct
ly responsible.
Strikers here are inclined to dis
count reports from st. Cloud and st.
Paul that large number of men
have returned to work since last Sat
urday. 1t is tn cir belief that the re-
port has been circulated by the road
officials i'm an effort to discourage
the strikers.

TAX ON ESTATE
IS S53,827.13
HEAVY INHERITANCE TOLL COL.
LECTED FROM PROPERTY OF
THE LATE ISAAC LINCOLN.

Pierre, July 27-An Inheritance
tax amounting to $53,S27.13 has
been paid into the state treasury by
the executor of the estate of the late
State Senator Isaac lincoln, of Alb
erdeen, according to the announce
ment of the inheritance tax division
of the tax commission. This is the
largest tax of it's kind ever collect
ed from the estate of a residence OF
SouthDakota, the records show.
Senator Lincoln. who was report
ed to be the most wealthy man in
South Dakota at the time of his
death, left property and securities
valued at more than a million dol
lars.
During his many years in the state
legislature, Senator Lincoln was a
consistent advocate and supporter Of
the inheritance tax law. That he
looked upon this as a necessary ad-
junct to the governmental revenues
is proven by the following provision
in his will:
Il direct my executor as soon as
possible after my decease, to pay
any and all taxes against my estate
imposed by any government upon
any devise or bequeath given by this
my last will and testiment, and all
such taxes whether known as inher-
itance taxes, succession taxes or by
any other name should be treated as
liability and paid by my executor be-
for my property is distributed"

Injunction i'm
Street Paving

Huron, July 27-Judge Alva E.
Taylor has extended the temporary
injunction secured by the property
owners on East Third street, in this
city, restraining the city commits
sioners from signing contract with
the c. H. Atkinson Co., Watertown
until August 1, at which time he
will render a decision as to wheth-
er or not the injunction shall be
continued until the final hearing.
This is regarded in local circles as
giving an opportunity for the two
sides to compromise.
The contract was awarded the At
kinson company to pave 60foot
width with bitulithic,' at $3.44 pei
square yard.
The property owners protested
but finally agreed to pave with con
crete on 44-foot width at S2.s5.
The two sides deadlocked there
just before the date of the injunc-
tion hearing last Saturday.

egram from Clyde b. Atchison, a
member of the interstate railroad
commission asking if the South Da-
kota commission would cooperate
with the interstate body in a survey,
issuing certificates of priority and
listing South Dakota needs in pres
ent coal situation. The South Da-
kota commission replied that 1t may
lend every assistance in carrying out
plans which will be similar to those
used during the coal strike two
years ago, when South Dakota made
certificates of priority in order that
system be not abused According to
railroad Commissioner Raish, prior
