H. W. Donaldson, Of Hallook, was at the
Merchants yesterday. Mr.. Donaldson is
considered by many one OF the best authori-
ties on wheat in the Northwest. For several
years he was manager OF the Grandin farm,
and be owns large tract in Marshall coun-
ty. He said:
81 saw a statement in one Of the morn
ing papers today to the effect that there was
about I0,0QOO00 bushels Of grain under the
snow in the Northwest. / cannot see what
would lead a man to make such statement
as this, unless he wanted to affect the mar
ket, as It is certainly absurd. There Is not
that amount Of wheat In the field, nor any
thing like IT. in fact, there is scarcely any
that was not harvested some time ago.
in Richland county, S. D., we had worse
weather than any place in the Red river
val ~, and yet we were all through the frst
week in November. The statement was made
that a great amount OF wheat under
my own observation, that there is not a shock
Of wheat IN the county that has not been
harvested. The farmers Will lose nothing

"a great deal Of logging will be done in

Elliott last evening at the Merchants. THE

Logging company has the contract for cut

Ier, however, in making his tax estl-
mate, aiscertained that $500 persons in
the city were assessed for personal
property and as the law provides that
each taxpayer is allowed, under the
law, an exemption Of 500, he sub
tracts from the total valuation of per-
sonal property $9S0O00, which makes
the total valuation OF personal prop
erty for his purposes $14509,-

valuation makes q total of $93, 032, 482.
It is on this sum that the comptrol-
