THRESHING.
THRESHERS AT WORK IN SOME
PLACES IN THE RED RIVER
VALLEY-SOME FAIR YIELDS.

lHRESHERS AL WORK in SOME
PLACES in THE RED RIVER
VALLEY-SOME FAIR YIELDS.
Grand ForNs, Aug. G.-All records
for early threshing in this section of
the Red River valley were broken by
Anstett Bros, who with little eight
horse power gasoline rig, purchased of
w. H. Higham, pounded out 1866
bushels of wheat for James Caldwell.
who has farm in the Brule country.
fourteen miles north OF this city.
w. H. Higham and J. l. Stokes
drove out to witness the opening of
the threshing season, and returned
very much enthused over the sight
they witnessed. The days work
was phenomenally large for the size
Of the machine, as 800 or 600 bushels
would be considered a good days
business. Mr.. Higham says the ma
chine crew consists of two men, one
to cut bands and the other to feed, the
engine running itself. But five bun
die teams were used ana only one
team to haul the grain away
The quality Of the grain threshed
was excellent. 1t was as hard as
flint, Notwithstanding the earliness of
the season., and the color was as good
as that of any wheat ever raised in
the valley. This can be accounted
for by the fact that it has never been
wet since it was ripe. Mr.. Stokes
said that the pile of wheat was nearly
as large as the straw at the tail end of
the machine, and that according to
the straw the yield was the most re-
markable he had ever seen.
Since the wheat was taken from the
center of the field it was impossible
to estimate the yield very closely, but
that it was IL or IS bushel crop at
least and perhaps more.
Threshing August 3 in North Da-
kota would surprise some of the east
erners who have an idea that most Of
the seeding is done here in July and
that it frequently SHOWS all summer.
Mr. Higham says the earliest thresh-
ing heretofore of which he has any
record was done on August 10, and as
| rule there is little done before the
10th of August.

The state board of equalization yes
terday afternoon elected a. D. Lucas
as clerk, Mrs II. N. Stevens as stenog-
rapher and d. j. McGillis as messen-
ger. No definite action was taken on
any class of property as Attorney Gen
eral Cowan had not arrived in time for
yesterdays meeting and the general
abstract of property was still incom-
plete, two counties being missing.
This morning the boaru resumed it's
session and took a recess to consider
the property values in the several coun-
ties, having general discussion of the
taxation OF personal property.
1t seems the general opinion that
the assessed valuation will not be
raised much beyond the figures to
which it was raised by the state board
last year. There have been large
aggregate increases in the returns of
the assessors in some of the counties,
and some decreases in others. Cass
county returns land at = cents an acre
higher than the figures set upon it by
the state board last year and wants to
have these figures decided on by the
state board. On the other hand
Trail county! and some other counties
return land at lower values than the
state board fixed last year.
The matter of railroad assessment
was not touched at this mornings ses-
sion but is being considered this after
noon. A number of railroad repre-
sentatives are present to appear before
the board, being Messrs. Foster of the
Northwestern, Wilkinson of the Great
Northern, Dixie of the 500, Fernald of
the Northern Pacific. While they
hold that their assessment in the state
is too high, it is. understood they will
ask for reductions only on some branch
lines, where thew claim the assessment
is unjust. 1t is not believed the state
board will be inclined to favor any re.
ductions.

within the terms of the injunction.
Both sides were working hard to gain
the advantage and at o'clock this
afternoon the Edison company was a
few points ahead, but it's opponents
were close behind.
