with the bank stock pay on $3.50 for
what others had not turned in. The
Forum says 10 explanation that 1.-The
method of reducing the personal assess'
ment no doubt originated in the
cities to avoid paying any more county
and state taxes than possible. The
same amount Of money has to be raised
for city purposes but the levy is boosted
for that purpose"
Bot this is not the worst of the deal.
Some of the towns have so decreased
the assessed valuation that they find it
impossible to make the improvements Is
absolutely needed for the town, because
they have exceeded the debt limit, ae
allowed by law, and based on the ASSESS
ed valuation of the property. An equit
able assessed valuation would give them
a lower tax levy and afford the oppor-
tunity to improve their towns.
The only relief seems to be II radical
action by the state board of equalization.
The Indications are that the people OF
the state would sustain them.

Will be 4 Fair Crop.

Reports from all over the state made
by travelling men for grain and machin-
cry houses are that there will be a fair
crop OF wheat on the average. The fax
crop will be large as the plant takes a
deeper root and has wlthstood the heat
better than the wheat plant. One
machinery firms agent said today that
",he heavy rains packed the ground and
the hot weather following baked it.
The wheat roots spread out in the sur
face more than usual instead OF gong
down. But the winter wheat crop is
very light, aud under usual conditions
it would bs reasonable to expect that a
higher price tor wheat would prevail this
fall, ard make up IN that respect as
much. if not more than large yield
would bring Several machines called
dlpgers we're sent to the Red River Val
ley this spring to be used in breaking
10 the surface. OF fields where the
ground was packed hard. Owing to the
,r tinued rains there the machines
have not been given fair trial, but, in
years like this there is no doubt that
they would be good thing. The diff.
Guilty with the ordinary harrow is that
it goes too deep into the ground and
pulls out too many Of the growing
plants. 10 the eastern states narrowing
wheat has always been done-to break
up the ground"

FOSSILS FOUND.
At a Depth Of Nearly 1000 Feet
By the Artesian Well
DiggerS.

There are 9l3 feet Of pipe down in the
artesian we'll, and an additional length
was to be put down Saturday.
The drill Is working in q streaked for
nation consisting OF what the driller
calls, sand, shale and limestone. The
drill is down, oocording to Mr.. Swan
about $50 feet. Layers of limestone
rock from quarter of an inch to several
inches IN thick mesa are now met with
and in cleaning off the bottom of the
pump today fragment of lime stone,
the size OF an egg WAS found which con-
tained numerous small fossil shells.
This ft,esiliferous formation is found at
about the same depth in South Dakota,
and there is near the wafer bearing
sand.
The log kept for the asylum we'll,
showed at distance OF 1000 feet, quick
sand, shale aud hard stresks Of lime
stone which continued for 800 feet after
that 175 feet of ouickssnd, shale and
limestone streaks; hard sand rock 7
feet; soft sand rock, water bearing, 3
feet; hard sand rock with pyrites of
iron. 10 feet; soft sand rock, water bear
ing, IL feel, making 1906 feet and IN. ip
depth. According to the log, the
asylum we'll is about 80 feet higher at
the surface, than the present city we'll.
Whether the record as presented by the
Gray Bros. OF Milwaukee who completed
the asylum we'll can he relied upon or
not, is questioned.
Specimens of the deposits brought up
at various depths by the pump in the
we'll now being drilled have been kept
and it is intended to make as
complete log rs possible after the work
is finished. The various specimens
have been bottled and labeled and will
be kept in the high school. Mr.. q.
D. Adams has tab on every length OF
pipe that has gone into the we'll and is
saving the specimens.
Considerable gas is found at the pre-
sent depth. The work of drilling is get.
ting harder and requires more time and
care to prevent the tools from getting
fast.

To Test The Law

The validity Of the law authorizing
the sale Of lands for taxes Is to be test
ed in case entitled r. S. Tyler against
the state Of North Dakota and the audi
tor of Cass county The action ie
brought says the Fargo Forum, TO en-
join the auditor from selling certian
lande claimed to be forfeited to the state
under The tax sales of 1898 and 1895.
The law passed IN 1891 provides for the
sale of delinquent taxes after three
years. In 1895 the law was repealed
! The contention is made that the law OF
1S0Owas not effective so far as the taxes,
OF 1898 we're concerned until 1896. year
after the law was repealed, and before
these sales could take effect. 1t is
claimed, consequently that the lands
we're never forfeited to the state THIS
matter will come up before Judge PS9-
lock when motion will be made tor
an Injunction restraining County Andi-
tor Olson from selling the lots in ques-
ton. The property involved in the &C.
tion is located in the city Of Fargo
Should the courts hold with the plain
tiff the effect will be general over the
state and the common wealth will find
itself in the very en- mbsrssslng position
OF losing the taxes for many years Oh
thousands OF acres OF land of more or
less value.
