Huge Sums Spent
In State For Gasoline

| Pierre, S. d., June 49, With the
May returns from the state tax or
gasoline and other motor fuel co
mpleted, making five months the
law has been in effect, there has
been shipped into South Dakota
since January /, last. 1887 .36a
gallons of gasoline including that
on hand in the state on January
when the invoice was taken of
that in the state at the time the
law went into effect. OF this
amount 14,7l0,776 gallons have
been used in motor vehicles.
1t has been figured, taking as a
conservative estimate that the av-
erage car made sixteen miles to
the gallon, the motor vehicles of
South Dakota travelled the trem-
endous distace of 235,372,4l6 miles.
On June 10 there were l00,202
passenger automobiles in the state
registered with the secretary Of
state. If all this gasoline were
used in these passenger cars, each
car in the state would have trav-
eled over 23,24S miles using over
LAG gallons of gasoline per car.
Although the tourist travel has
not really started as yet, though
there have been many travellers on
the roads, May was by quite a bit
the heaviest month so far. The
total tax collected amounted to
$44,648,07 for the month. The ex-
emptions were also quite bit
heavier than any previous month,
even the percentage being greater
than the other months. The total
exemptions were SS,29S.S2. The
heavy exemptions are somewhat
accounted for by the state audit
or's office because Of the large
amount of use tractors have been
put to during May. There has
been much breaking being done
over the western part Of the
state and farmers are making
much use of their tractors.
Deputy State Auditor Milo
Drake is of the opinion his first
,stimate of $500,00O in tax would
be returned to the state by the
operation of the new law. With
the real automobiling season not
as yet really opened and which
under normal conditions runs we'll
into November he looks for the
last six months of the year to be
heavier than the first
six months so far as the tax is
concerned.
The first five months the law
has been in effect there has been
paid into the state Sl6S,773.63 out
ofwhich is deducted the exempt
ions which total 21,665,S7 leaving
a net gain to the state of $l47,-
l077G.

10 days, beginning Thursday Of thil

stunts to attract attention each day
The first day will include among
other features, an automobile pa.

Another plan Of the sale. is q
mystery stunt. Tag the mysteri-
GUS stranger. and win a prize is
the slogan for this feature.
Some persons are going to have
a lot of fun and receive some val
liable awards during the merchants
trade carnival Briefly. the plan
is this:
Every day OF the sale the mysteri.
Gus stranger, perhaps man, per-
haps a woman, perhaps child, VIII
be in the stores of Moline. No one
will know who is taking the part.
There will be nothing in this per-
sons dress to distinguish him or
her, as the case may be.
But any person attending the sale
may walk up TO anyone else ana
say, "Are you the mysterious stran-
ger of the Moline merchants trace

dressed is the mysterious stranger,
he will reply in certain predeterm-
fned words, which, of course, are
not to be announced. II it is not the
stranger, it doesn't make any diff
tho ranlV ia
The stranger will make careful
note of the appearance and address
of every person who speaks to him,
using the proper formula. Every
person who tags another must make
careful note of the reply which he
receives.
The real fun will come Saturday
evening, April s, when there will
be a carnival in the streets. Then
the mysterious stranger will ap-
pear before the crowd and everyone
who recognizes him, or her, ire
member it may be a LADY,, will
come forward and make his claims.
These persons must be dressed ex-
actly as they were at the time of the
tagging. The stranger will have a
memorandum of the appearance of
those who tagged him and dlScrep-
aney will disqualify. The stranger
will put series Of questions to
those who can make good on their
claims by repeating the exact words
in which the stranger replied to
their greetings will receive supplies.
Is Every day there will be a report
of the activities of this stranger,
where he went, how nearly he was
caught and amusing experiences
encountered in his wanderings.
Remember the formula, Are you
the mysterious stranger of the Mo-
line merchants trade carnival?"
The stranger must be tagged in
store. Tagging on the street will
not count. Get on the job and may
be you will be one of the lucky
ones.

Business Topics

Ottawa, Canada, March 28.-Rail-
road rates promise to provide occa-
sion for a fierce contest in the Can
adam parliament shortly. More
than 20'years ago the Canadian Pa
cific, in consideration of a subsidy
for their Crows Nest Pass line,
agreed that their freight rates on
certain basic commodities should
never rise above a certain level.
Parliament, however, authorized a
temporary suspension of this agree
ment to meet changed conditions in
wages and prices, but unless the
suspension is renewed the old rates
will go into effect again July l.
Western members of parliament are
determined against a renewal of
the suspension and the railroad
contends the old rates will mean
the loss of millions of dollars to
the road.
Easton, Pa, March 28.-Local
building inspectors report that con-
struction work in Easton and vicin-
ity in the last month exceeded that

being built.
