The EQUALIZATION.
The County. Board Of Equalization Has
Been Wrestling With Valua-
tions All This Week.
Real Estate Will Be Valued Twenty
Five Per Cent. Higher Than
Two Years Ago.

The board of county commissioners
had a long wrestle with the assess
ments of Mile Lacs county this week
and the first three days were spent in
going over the books OF the assessors,
comparing the valuations set on sim
liar property in different towns. The
assessors did not work on common
basis after all the talk that has been
made, some persisting in working from
the old assessment, without taking
into consideration the different raises
made BY the board of review, board of
equalization and the State board. This
made a great discrepancy which the
board. found it hard to equalize. An
agreement was finally reached yester-
day afternoon which will bring the
desired increase in the valuation, but
there is stack Of work ahead for the
auditors office. Then the question of
personal property was taken up and
more :. difficulties were encountered.
The Foley Bean Lumber company's
assessment on their stock of merchan-
disc amounted to $4,000, which they
said they we're satisfied with if the
other stocks in the county given a like
valuation.
The board seems to be badly divided
Some of the mem bers are of the opin-
ion that the assessment Of the company
should be lowered a couple of thousand
and the other large firms brought up
to this new valuations: others that
more should be taken off the company
and the other dealers left alone; and
still Others of the board are in favor of
leaving all the assessments just where
they are. Here the board hangs as we
60 to press and the UNION cannot even
make prediction of what the result
will be-.

CROPCONDITIONS.

ss the Week Ending Monday.
~kaII,heres were scattered showers. in the
5nQrtherh half4o the State earlysir the
week, and rains began in the southern
half on the 14th. In the southern tier
of counties the rains were heavy, rang
ing from 3.2l inches at Worthington
to 5.l4 inches at La Crosse, in about
As hours. Hail caused damage, it is
said, to thousands of acres Of spring
wheat in Kittson, Polk, Norman and
Red Lake counties, and it caused dam
age in Rice county also. There were
very high and arm southerly winds
on the 18th and 18th, but during the
rest of the week the temperature was
particularly favora BILE for all crops,
and following the splendid rains of the
first week in the month, the conditions
have been excellent for the filling OF
the heads of the spring wheat still
standing, though there are some fields
so poor in northern counties that they
are being plowed under. In southeast
ern counties the weather was very
dry till the 14th. and in fields where
the spring wheat was weakened by the
drought, the chinch bugs have been
destructive: these fields have ripened
rapidly, and some of them are being
mown for hay. The spring wheat har'

and Bethel 8. Basehits, Yorkville II
and Greenwood IL.
From the number of basehits, ii
would appear that although the York
Vile boys gave very good account
of themselves at the bat, their fielding
must have been unusually poor.
Yesterdays game had not been
played up to the time The ENoU1REB
went to press. 1t was understood
however, that Yorkville would have
Bankston in the pitchers box, and e.
Neil behind the bat, and some of the
local baseballists were disposed to hope
that this arrangement would give bet
ter results.

ACCORDING to a Washington dis
patch, the administration has not yet
given up its purpose to make Turkey
pay that 100000 that has been assess
ed against her on account of the de-
struction Of American missionary prop
erty. The Sublime Porte recently
promised to pay the amount within
three or four months, and Mr.. Griscom,
the American charge d'afaires, replied
with a demand that a date be set.
The date has not yet been fixed ; but
Notwithstanding the situation in China,
it is believed that the administration
will follow the matter up vigorously on
account of the missionary influences
throughout the country. On the other
hand it is believed that if Turkey is
made to pay, the Republican party will
get lots of votes out of the transaction.

}Fort Mill Times: A great many of
olr people will learn with regret that
Prof. J. A. Boyd has decided to decline
the position of principal of the Fort
Mill public school, to which he was
recently elected by the board of Srus.
tees for the ensuing scholastic year.
He feels that his interests call him
elsewhere. Hence the partnership
which was formed on Saturday with
Prof. A. R. Banks, with whom he will
jointly conduct the Presbyterian High
school at Rock Hill. Prof. Boyd has
resided in Fort Mill continuously for
fifteen years, having come to this
place from Gastonia in 1880 to assist
Professor Banks in the Fort Mill
Academy, which was a preparatory
school without peer in the upper part
of the state. After teaching two years
with Professor Banks, who moved to
Rock Hill after an agreeable and sue
cessful cooperation, the school was
made public one and Professor BOYD
has since been principal thereof, ex-
cept for few months, during which ne
taught in Gold Hill. Numerous pat.
rons of the school regret the loss OF
Professor Boyd ; but it is hoped that
our school will be supplied with a
principal who will manifest as much
interest in its welfare and prove as
able an educator as the outgoing prin.
cipal. Professor Boyd and family will
move to Rock Hill during the month
of August.
