Who are to pay the expences Of running
6tutsman County?
Is it to fall exclusively on the poor man,
who IN putting his improvements in the
shape of house and breaking on his gov
ernment claim to pay taxes on said i'm
proyements? is it on the business men
who are putting in stocks Of goods, &C.,
and making their ventures in our village?
Certainly. Are not the spectators who in
vesting in lands which are rapidly inhanced
by the coming Of the settler and business
men to bear their share Of the burden of
preservation of the law, of the economical
administration of the county affairs?
Most undoubtedly they should.
Are they likely to do SO? We say no.
As the matter now stands, we are inform
ed by the assessor. but four men in this
county have listed real estate.
1t is made the duty Of the county clerk
to furnish the assessor with an abstract of
all lands taxable IN the county; from this,
in case of the owners not listing, the
assessor may list for assessment. This abs
.tract although asked for by the assessor,
has not. up to Monday last, been furnished;
and on Monday next, the assessor must
deliver tt&the Board Of Equalization, his
returns, tnat they may equalize the taxes
Of the county, and fix the tax to be levied.
There is way that the assessor may
remedy the evil of MT having the real
estate listed; and that is. to fairly assess
at not too exorbitant price, neither at too
small rate all the odd sections in the
county, and such of the even sections IS
he may know to have been proved up on,
TO "Owner unknown.
The Board of Equalization have how
ever, by law, power to add such property
~ shall have been neglected, or refused to
be listed for taxation; and we believe that
they will correct the assessment, if it Shall
be needed. Il is most undoubtedly their
duty, so to do. ....
This would not work injustice to the
railroad company, as they have sold all, or
nearly all their surveyed lands within our
county; neither would the county be
1reated unjustly; and the settler and bus
iness men would not have exclusively to
s,ear the burden.
There is not an acre Of our land but is
worth dollar an acre, aud should bear
its just share. a.
The Board of Equalization should pos

Response to Inquiries.


In answer to inquiries about jamestown
and stutsman County, we give the fol-
lowing:
jamestown is situated ON the Northern
Pacific Railroad, SO miles west of Fargo,
and 101 miles east of Bismarck, at the
junction Of the Pipestem with the James
River, IN a most beautiful valley, and is
the county seat of Stutsman county. 1t is
the most beautiful site for town, on the
Northern Pacific Railroad from Duluth
to Bismarck. There is to-day SO build
ings in it.: hotels, two of them are quite
large, stores drug store, blacksmith
shops, meat market, saloons, laundry,
I school house, 1 newspaper and job office
and 4 barber shop. There are firms who
are handling agricultural implements quite
largely; lumber yard, which will furnish
common lumber at about $22.O0 per NJ.
Stutsman County is rich agricultural
county of undulating surface; and contains
56 townships SIX miles square; or, 2,016
sections or square miles, each containing
$40 acres, or 1,290, ,240 acres; 80 per cent
of it is fit for sowing III grain; the bal
ance being hay and broken lands along
the bluffs OF the valley The James River
is situated in valley 400 miles long, rich
in agricultural qualities from its head to
its mouth; Astounding also in excellent
hay lands so bushels Of oats and 81
bushels of wheat were grown to the acre,
in it last year The water Of the James
and Pipestem streams, is good. The water
obtained from the wells in Jamestown,
surpasses that of any portion Of country
between Bismarck and the country about
Hawley, 80 miles to the east Of Fargo,
distance Of $50 miles. Wells on the up
lands afford good water by digging 45 to
70 feet
In regard to taxes, there is outstanding
after to day, $4,000 county deot, while
the coming tax levy, we feel confident
will be as small as possible.
A good school opened this morning for
the summer months,
Religious services, by both Catholic and
Presbyterian clergymen, are not held re-
