1nc1t MeN-Ihe Resolutions.
A railroad meeting WIS held ut Sib-
ley on Tuesday evening, January Goth,
to consider tile question Of building a
narrow gauge railroad from Sioux
Fails to Fort Dodge, by way Of S;bley.
The meeting drew out I'LL nber Of
facts of interest, and committees were
appointed to correspond with railroad
companies and land owners and to So
licit subscriptions III money, work or
stocks.
Captain Riley, one Of the speakers,
stated that it now cost 30 cents per
busl,el to get wheat from ere to Mil
waukee, and that with i road upon this
proposed route it could be shipped there
for about 20 cents per busllel. lie
further stated that Il farmer who ship
ped one carload OF wheat would save
$35, and if he also shipped \ carload
of cattle and hogs he would save $35,
and if he used tive tons Of coal, which is
low estimate, he would save 1915
upon that. This would be an ;lggre-
gate saving OF s7S,75 for just one man.
lie very pertinently aled that we
needed more railroad competition i'll

II. Jordon said that this proposed
line OF road would enhance the value
of our real estate ut least 25 per cent,

THE NEW VALUATlOV.

THE VIEW VALUATION.
There is Il very general cutlery against
the increased valuation IF property by
the State Board Of Equalization. and u
general call made upon the Legislature
to set the matter right. The MaMkato
Review says:
The Window Reporter very properly
calls attention /" the great injustice
done the new and frontier counties Ivy
the higl, rate of assessment placed upO!,
real and personal property in that part
Of the State 10y the State Board Of
Equalization. 1t is u notorious fact
that there is scarcely Il county west Of
us, where the land and improvements
would sell for the valuation placed up
on it by that authority and 50 far rs
this county is concerned, the same is
true Of fOur-ffths If the towns. In
the effort to advance asses 'ments to
actual cash values, the board have
widely overstppled the mark, and added
i great burden to the agricultural
classes Of Southwestern Minnesota. ut
y time when they are the least able to
bear it. Were valuations all over the
State equal. there wonld be no injustice
in these high values, but the facts that
the cities and older settled regions Of
the State, are not up to the standard, is
what: makes it Il hardship for the from
tier.
