RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS.
Arap,hoe County objects to the Actioi
of the State board.

of the State Hoard.
The ArapahOe county officials are going to
secure a change In the method Of assessing
railroad property II possible. They have In
stituted proceedings In the District Court to
test the legality OF the present method.
This arises out Of the fact that the State
only allows taxes to counties for main track
within their confines, but apportions out the
other taxable property. The difference TO
the Arapahoc county assessment Is almost
sl,O00O0O, The present method OF appor-
tionins these taxes is the same as has always
been practiced in the State. The county at
torney says that Notwithstanding this the
custom Is contrTy to law, and that county
IS entitled TO taxes from all the taxable prop
crty It contains, excepting the rolling stock.
This tax .uit Is to be hard pushed by the
county authorities. They cannot see the
Justice Of Arapanoc county getting but a
molly OF railroad taxes for all the vast wealth
contained within its borders, while Douglas
county for Instance receives much more.

TO tread on the corns Of democratic in

IT seems hardly right for a man to
pay down the small sum of 50 to the
proprietor Of a hotel for q room, and
then scatter his brains we the walls,
and muss up the carpet with blood, for
the simple reason that he has some
slight grudge against himself, as was the
case with M. I. Herdan at the Palmer
house in Chicago the other day. 1t

the next guest may not discover the

the shock to his nervous organization.
1t seems to be mans privilege to scatter
bis brains around promiscuously, pro-
vided he has no use for them any longer,
but he should at least be %considerate
enough to do it within the limits of his

"good bye" must be said. It is

Of a greater degree of prosperity. Let

away, and sound simultaneously with
the glad greetings of happiness and

A LETTER from Farmer Wallace in an
other column proves that the people of
the state of North Dakota have u to
be thankful these hard times. All over
the east, and especially in manufacture
ing districts, times are hard, and there is
pinching poverty and sad suffering. The
conditions which exist are not fully
realized by residents of North Dakota,
where, while times are not as good as
in some years gone by, there is little il
any suffering, and where the winter
brings non of the hardships which are
being experienced in eastern commu-
mites. North Dakotans have cause for
devout thanksgiving. AS a people, their
condition is enviable, and they have but
to travel eastward to realize it fully.

speculation, nor general unsoundness of
