Additional Locals
David Ilalsey who lives south if
town, was in the city Wednesday
on some business matters.
The county treasurer, cleric of
court and auditor have been busy
this week getting the court house
and grounds in presentable shape.
The records are now installed in the
large new fire proof cabinet and all
the Motility officials or their deputies
are on the job daily ready for the
transaction any business ,tbat
may come before them.'-:fyt.i'

a
sue clerk at the local Agency after
four years service, and left the first
of .the tiioufh for his old home in
Indiana, did not remain east very
long, having returned the first of
the week when he was seen at Mc
Laughlin. What bis future plans,
are is not konvvn, but be will in all
probability show up here one of
these days.
Dr. C. A. Rapp, who made head
quarters here off and on the past
twi years while working under the
direction of the I". S. Bureau of
Animal Industry during the douri
ne epidemic among horses, is now
at Blissfield, Michigan. He lias
been assigned to foot and mouth
disease among cattle, and states in
a letter to J. M. Carignan that the
disease is widespread in the east.
The Ilokanson-Turner store was
broken into Friday night, entrance
being made through a basement
window. It is believed to the work
toys, as so far as can be ascer
tained nothing of any particular va
ii|e was taken. It is understood
that this store lias been burglarized
several times before and an effort
will-tie made to locate the guilty
parties.
Wedn^Jay was an ideal day.
The weaflfer this fall has been all
that coulaDe desired except for a
cold snap a few days last week.
The Missouri river froze over a
week ago Monday, but not suffici
ently to allow passage on the ice.
If this mild weather continues it is
predicted that the ice will break
iigaiu before the final freeze up.
Last year the river did not freeze
over until in December.
John McKcnna of Iniuiogeue, S.
D., who had the contract for plas
tering the government .hospital
completed the job Monday and left
with his crew for Bismarck, where
he has another contract to finish
,before the first of the year. The
work of inside finishing is progress

have the building completed in an-
It is uriderstood that a fair or ba- other few weeks. No furnishings

First Election in Ft. Yatca School Dis

Afternoon at 2 O'clock
The first, election of officers for
Ft. Yates school district will be
In-Ill at the conn house next Thurs
day afternoon between the hours of
•J and o'clock
The matter of selecting suitable'
material for directors and treasurer
is important. In a new district the
first board of directors are largely
responsible for the school system
for i) long time to come.
In a district like) his one wln-r«r
no funds are available Until after
tax has becil levied and collected,
men who will ddminster the affairs
economically should IK- elected.
For I his reason lv Pioneer would
suggest the names of three well
known business men for directors.
As Ft. Vafes will contribute' the
larger portion of the tax lot' support
of schools in lie district it Would
only be fair two give it a majority
on the board. The men the Pioneer
would put forward an-.). M. Cm rig
nan and C. W. Ilokan-on of Ft.
Yates, and Martin Swift of Sel
fridge. It is not likely that any
schools will he neecssary at. any
other place in the district for a long
time except here and at, Selfridge,
and for that Iva-'on both of these
towns should lie represented, Selfr.
idge being embraced in the Ft,
Yates district.
For treasurer .I. L. Haas, chitsier
of the First National Bank of Ft.
Vales, is the right man for the
place,- and -it gi M^*vit.hwit say^ug.,
that then
1
will be no opposition
against him should lie allow bis
inline to be presented at the elec
tion-.
Women of legal age are allowed
to vote at all school elections and
are also eligible to bold office.
Commercial Club Election
The annual election of officers of
the Ft. Yates Commercial Club will
be held at the Forester's Hall,
Tuesday evening December I. A
number of other important matters
will also be considered, and it is de
sired tiiat all the members attend.
With the advent, of the railroad inl
the spring, which is now assured,
many important problem* are cer
tain to arise and it is essential that
everylxtdy interested in the progress-.
of Ft. Yates and the development
of Sioux county should take an in
terest in the commercial club. A
live commercial club is a valuable
asset to every community,, as
through organized effort much good
for the benefit of all can be accom
plished. It is time for everybody
to get together and boost for the
city and county.
Thanksgiving Party Succeit
Tn the neighborhood of 60 people
attended the Thanksgiving recep-'
tion under the auspices of the Ft.
Yates Commercial Club at the For
ester's ball last night. The even
ing was spent very pleasantly and
all present thoroughly enjoyed the
occasion. The features of the even*
ing were card games, music and
dancing, over 20 couple being on
the floor at one time. Lunch was
served at 11 o'clock and the party
broke up at midnight. The com
mittee in charge are entitled to
much credit for the manner in which
the program of the evening was car
ried out, and the young people of
the city are looking forward with
much pleasure tomany more similar
parties during the approaching
winter season.
