Gov. Ziebach, in his Citizen, estimates
from the returns received that less than
one in ten Of the voters of South Dakota
voted for delegates to the Sioux Falls con-
vention, and says the best thing the dele
gates can do is to adjourn without UNDER

The jamestown correspondent of the
Fargo Argus says: Stutsman county has
56S, ,121 acres of land assessed on the last
assessment, valued at $1,24S,845. There are
1,729 horses, 1896 mules, 1850 neat cattle, 866
sheep, 865 swine in confines of the county
that have been enumerated by the assessor.
The amount of land in the county under
cultivation is but small fraction of the
acreage, and the assessed valuation is only
$1,248,825. Yet the town lots are held at
the edisproportiOnate looking figures of $780,
7O4, or over half the real value of the vast
acreage of the entire county. When it is
considered that the only town Of any con-
siderable size in the county is Jamestown
the last census Of which cut wide swath
in its population, as was anticipated, it
seems that the boom in lots still lives,
while from everything else it has fed.
