Yankton, ID. T., June Sd. l064--Aiter .
weeks sojonrn in your beautiful city,
looking at its location and advantages. 1
sni pleased TO say that although my first
Impressions were unfavorsble. I am nov
iavorably impressed that your city has
many advantages over some OF the
older eastern towns and cities. First
you have Dakota climate in its mildest
form. Then You have delightful loca.
ton on the bank of the Missouri, the
beauty Of which has been enhanced By
the planting Of trees along the broad
streets. and in the grounds of the resi-.
dence portions. The handsome and sub.
stantisl brick business buildings, we'll
filled with stocks Of choice goods, speak
we'll for business. The excellent schools
and college. and the numerous churches,
show educational and moral sentiment.
and . progressive spirit.
The railroad facilities are not the best.
there being no direct communication
north, south or west. and only one line,
east and northwest. A direct line west
along the Missouri river, northwest from
Scotland to Mitchell. directly north up
the James river valley on the east side
OF the river, and south into Nebraska,
would make the city more accessible
than it now is. and q more desirable
place for business or residence.
BY an investigation of tax lists in the
clerks Office, I find that 10 Yankton
county. outside of the city. lauds that
have been improved for term of years,
are valued at only from two to four dol
lars per acre. The laws OF the territory
require property to be listed at its
actual value. Now why is it that your
choicest lands are 80 low In value? The
records of deeds show that these same
lands are selling for more than three
times the listing price, which to me con.
veys the idea that the lands are not listed
as high as required by law, and might
make some difference in proportional
amount of territorial tax paid by Yank.
ton county. In Sphinx county the same
quality OF lands are listed at four to
eight dollars per acre, or double the
listing price OF Yankton county
lands. From these facts, We may claim
for Sphinx county, which has been but
recently settled, decided advantages owe,
Yankton county. or that Yankton county
is listed too low, or Splnk county toe
high.
Now. reader, what are your ideas sfte,
reading the above? Is the law for list.
ing property for taxation just? If 60, j,
it complied with in the different c8un.
ties Of the territory. Please answe,
through the columns of this paper.

Rank AND FILE.
Turner hall was the scene of the mill
