Sioux Voices Lament Of His
 RedSkin Brethren

Rapid City, s. D., June 21 R - The orator of the Sioux. using the tongue of the Sioux. has voiced to the paleface the lament of his peo- pie.
 Three hundred members of the National Editorial association. trav cling through the land once trod only by the moccasined feet of the Red Man, listened last Friday to the words of Chief Strong Talk. But he spoke in his own language and the editors did not under stand.
 From Pine Ride reservation he journeyed to the Chadron State park to give the editors his story.
 Today translation of what Chief Strong Talk said was given the editors as they prepared to end their South Dakota sight seeing jaunt.
 And this is what the orator Of the Sioux said:
 Away to the north is a country that once belonged to us. It was rich country to my people because there was game and fish for food and animals of different kinds to provide us material for our wig wams and clothes. We cared not for the yellow stuff in the hills ex- cept for ornaments and little of it we used. The Great Spirit had given us all we cared for and in the wild spots we lived and were

 A petition was received from a resident of Linwood street calling for the erection of new bridge on Lin wood street, claiming that the struc- ture now under construction was 1 inadequate to care for the spring floods. City Engineer Williams stated that in his mind the bridge was adequate, caring for more Wa ter than the channel itself could hold. He laid the blame for the floods on the brook channel, stating l tn: the sides of the brook were toe 1 low to take care of the flood waters. It was voted to Crant the petitioner ! leave to withdraw.

 Gas Station Hearings
 An application for the granting of a permit to operate gasoline filling station on the southwest cor ner of Pennington avenue and Ba- ruda streets was filed by Frederick Murphy. The station is 75 feet south of its former location. The application was granted upon the review of blue prints and drawings.
 The continuation of hearing held June 14 concerning the application of the Maston Operating Co. for a gas station on the northwest corner of South Main and Trinity streets was held. Representatives of the company stated that although the driveway on Trinity street was nearer the corner than the 20 feet called for by the state laws, they thought the situation was not dan- gerous and filed their intentions of improving the property to meet the boards decision. They pointed out that S5 per cent of the traffic was on South Main street and that the station had been operated for sev- eral years by the Go-Gas Corpora tion without accident. The board voted to lay the matter over for in. spection.
 A continuation of a hearing re- garding the approval of permit of the Atlantic Refining Co. for the location of gas station on the southwest corner of Kelsey stree, and Rocky Hill avenue, received an affirmative vote. The hearing was continued for the submission of the necessary blue prints.

PAVEMENT FOR END
 0F SOUTH MAIN ST,
City to Link Up. With Nss Beech Swamp Highway

One of the busiest meetings of the past year of the board of pub lie works was held last evening. City Engineer Joseph D. Williams announced that paving operations would begin on Monday. June 27, covering the portion of roadway from the end of South Main street to the Berlin line in preparation for the linking of South Main street and the proposed new state highway. He estimated the cost at about $7,o0O and announced that the state highway commission had agreed, at a recent consultation, to lay a 20 foot strip of highway from the intersection Nof South Main street and Stanley street northerly. Stanley street being a state aid road. Such action by the state highway commission would do away with an edge on the South Main street paving as 1t led into the Beech Swamp road. The engineer stated that it was the city's inten- ton to lay the strip had the state refused to put in the portion, but the agreement reached with the highway commission had meant a saving of about $500 for the city. The South Main street paving. to- gether with the state paving, will completely cover the triangular corner at the intersection of South Main and Stanley streets.
 Ellis Street Lines Disputed
 A hearing for the establishment of new street and grade line on Ellis street from Stanley street to Rocky Hill avenue. met with oppo- sition from Attorney Donald Calf ney, counsel for the Ellis and Smith properties. City Engineer Williams stated that the hearing had been called for the purpose of settling controversy regarding street lines which had resulted from improper surveying in 1915. In 1905 the property was surveyed and the street lines laid out, prior to the development of the land but later surveying operations in 1915 by the developers of the land who sold building lots were found to be improper, giving the north side residents more property than their deeds called for and the south side residents less.
 Attorney Gaffney, in speaking of the move, stated that he thought the street, was better left as 1t was. Sewers had been laid. shrubbery and sidewalks had been installed and for g years the present street line had been accepted.
 If you can change that by this meeting tonight, you can change anything" he stated.
 Attorney Gaffney also pointed out that the adoption of the new build ing lines would mean a jog in the street at the intersection of Stanley street. He decried the need for a jog now that the street intersected Stanley street in a straight line.
 Because r. H. Oldershaw. when he surveyed this property for the grantors, made a blunder. should the property owners come to the city

VACATION SCHOOL MEETING

About 70 leaders and workers for the community church vacation school met at the First church last evening. After the conference over the supper table they devoted the rest of the evening to constructing models for the work in toymaking, basketry, sewing. mat making, etc. The enthusiasm which pervaded speaks well for this years term. Material is still needed for the scrap books and pieces of cloth for the sewing class. Such contributions may be left at the First church chapel, marked for the school.

for reimbursement? They have only one course to take, if their deeds call for more land than they actually have, and that is suit against the grantor of the property. They have no action against the city.
 Why take away so much proper ty from the south side and give it to the north side? This is robbing Peter to pay Paul. The legal rem edy for the situation is against the grantor and not against the city"
 In calling the roll of residents. it was found that they agreed to the proposed change providing the side- walks and hedges were not disturb red. Attorney Gaffney pointed out to the city engineer that although the residents agreed to the change with this provision, nothing could prevent the city from changing the sidewalk lines at some future date if the street line was adopted. City En- gineer Williams said that while he would never advise such change there was no provision which could prevent the city from taking such a course if it saw fit.
 A laughable incident came about during the calling of the roll. An Ellis street resident in replying to his name stated that The agreed with the first gentleman" Attorney Gaffney being the first man to speak on the subject turned to the man and asked if he meant that he agreed with the attorneys views. The Ellis street resident said:
 "No, mean the first man that spoke in favor of it."
 Attorney Gaffney turned to City Engipeer Williams and remarked:
 He said the first-gentleman." Considerable laughter followed this sally.
 Carbo Making Profit on City
 John Carbo of Berlin, owner of the Carbo Brick Go. is minus a source of income as result of ac- tion of the board last evening. City Engineer Williams read letter from Cornelius J. Danaher of Meri- den which had been sent to the mayor. stating that a resident of the house at the sewer beds in Ber- lin had complained to him regard ing the treatment he had received from his landlord, Carbo, who rents the house from the city. The resi- dent said that he would rather deal direct with the city than through a landlord. Investigation showed that Carbo was receiving $14 a month for the complainants portion of the house and paying the city $12 a month rent. The house was rented to the Berlin brick manufacturer with the understanding that he im- prove the property, the city engi- neer pointed out, and he stated that he was sure that Carbo had receiv- cd benefits for any Improvements he had put into the house by this time from his rent. Two tenants occupy the house at the sewer beds, he stated.
 Committeeman Thomas Grove stated that in his opinion it would be better for the city to assume pro prietorship of the house and rent it to filter bed employees whenever possible. It was voted that the city take over the house and assume re- sponsibility of tenancy. Williams. in passing, stated that in his opinion, the city would do we'll to tear the house down and have the trouble disposed of.
 City Engineer Williams also out lined the need for new tractor A machine was purchased in 1922 and has outlived its usefulness, he said, repair bills running high. It was voted to include the item in the next budget and to try to run the pres-

Cochran on one occasion in the third

Manager Moriarty also has Deviveros
to use in the infield If he is needed.
Deviveros spent the 1927 season tray-

that much experience he may get quite
a major league hold before he is
through. McManus, former second

Gehringer Is Praised.
1t is in praise of Gehringer that
the Detroit manager is most ioqua-

Referring to Detroit's prospects for
stronger outfield, Noriarty said he had
no great criticism TO make of Manush,
whom he traded TO st. Louis along
with Lu Blue for Harry Rice and
Vangilder. Manush simply couldn't
get started last season in Detroit, but
he may show improvement with the
