and unreasoning move which by order
Of the alliance county attorney caused
an attempt at full valuation on the
property of the county's citizens at the
same.time that the railroad valuation
Of nearly a million dollars has been
reduced even below what 1t was last
year has cost the county much expense
and will not be entirely remedied by
the boards action, though the commits
sioners have done the best thing
possible under the circumstances.
A number OF prominent changes In

yesterday as follows:

Organs were raised 100 per cent in
Garfield, 20 in Sherman, 20 in Hayes,
20 in Ridge, 10 in Rinehsrt, 20 in Lyon.
The commissioners then at one fell
swoop as the last act of the board of
equalization adopted a resolutions;
To reduce all real estate in the
county to One.fourth Of the value as
returned by tho assessors after the
equalizations as agreed upon have been
made; aud all personal property to one.
third the value returned by assessors
after the equaizations agreed upon
have been made.
The board then adjourned sine die.
Too much credit cannot be given the
republican majority of the board for
its sturdy stand in favor Of treating
the people of Dickinson county fairly.
Had the alliance principle prevailed 1t
would have cost the county tens of
thousands of dollars. Messrs. KWpke

headed and sensible. They have the
