ment. The raise by companies is:

on all other classes of property in the
state, making their increase about $780,
600. On assessment of railroads, Gov. Lee
objected to the figures fixed by the board
IN the ground that the assessment. not
being made on the day fixed for assessment
OH railroads, was void, and for the further
reason that the figures are not %highenough
to be on the same basis as other property
in the state.
The board completed its work by max
ing a levy of rs mills ON corporate prop
crty and a levy of "a for the state levy. of
which 9 mills is general levy, 9 of a mill
special lcvies and g of d mill bond inter-
est and sinking fund.
With the raise of practically 100000 on

porate property with the final equalization
figures, the total increase of valuation over
last year will be nearly $14, 0 1000, making
the total valuation of the state practically
SIZE, 100000. of this, farm lands amount
to $l02, 600, 900; corporate property to a lit
tie over $l3,OO 900, and the rest is different
classes of personal property.
Epworth League Makes Proposition
The Epworth League Society of eastern
South Dakota has made a proposition to
the citizens of Canton to the effect that if
the citizens will furnish the grounds the
league will establish on the grounds a per-
manent general assembly, will build an
auditorium thai will seat about 1900 peo-
pie and maintain the assembly. This
would give the city the advantage of a
first-class Chautauqua Epworth League
assembly and would go far toward making
q summer resort of the Sioux River town.
The proposition is viewed with favor by
the citizens of Canton aud steps will be at
once taken to decide whether or not the
proposition shall he accepted.
