PROPERTY VALUES
State Board of Equalization Disposes
Of Real Property Assessment
Today.
General Increase Made in Valuation
Of Property Over Figures
Returned.
Comparative Statement of Assessed
Valuation This Year and Last
Years Equalization.
Comparative Statement of Assessed

The state board of equalization Is
busy with the equalization of land
values through the state and finds the
task no easy one, The returns from
the several counties in the state show
the usual tendency to keep down the
average value of land for purposes OF
assessment. Nearly all of the coun-
ties, and particularly the large Red
river counties, have returned their
farming land at a figure far below that
at which it was equalized by the state
board last year. The one notable ex-
ception is Cass county, where the land
is returned at an average value per
acre of one cent less than was equalized
by the state board last year. The
average value of farming land in the
big counties of Cass, Walsh, Trail,
Pembina, Grand Forks, Richland and
other counties lying in the richest Sec
ton in the state is only 81, SIS and Sc
an acre. Trail county, admittedly the
richest county in the state as far as
farm land goes, returns an average
value of land at $5.42 an acre. This
is nearly $1.25 an acre lower than the
figures fixed by the state board of
equalization last year. Farm land in
Trail county sells for $40 to $40 an
acre and is hard to get at that price.
Grand Forks county returns land $1.5O
an acre lower than the figures adopted
by the state board a year ago. and it is
a peculiar fact that Foster county, way
over in the central part of the state
and out of the rich Red river valley,
returns it's land a cent an acre higher
than Grand Forks county, higher by
several cents than Pembina, and near
ly as high as Walsh. Richland county
| returns land nearly a dollar an acre
lower than the value fixed a year ago
and so does Walsh, Pembina and Other
counties.
The following table shows the value
of land in each county as decided by
the state board last year, and The

H. v. Jones, considered as pretty
conservative authority, estimates the
wheat yield this year for the three
states of North and South Dakota and
Minnesota at 1873 100000 bushels.
North Dakota leads in average, IA ID
bushels to the acre-total yield esti-
mated at $4,000, 900; Minnesota, aver
age II 1-2 bushels, total 7S,OOO,O0O
bushels; South Dakota 10 bushels
average, total 30,OO0,OOO bushels. Mr..
Jones finds marked defects in the Red
River valley and declares that but for
the help Of the counties west OF the
Sheyenne river and along the north
boundary the yield in North Dakota
would not Justify great enthusiasm.

new TELEPHONE EXCHANGE
Work Has Begun on the Installation
OF the New Telephone Exchange
In the City.
Poles Being Erected and Telephones
Will be Installed as Rapidly as
Possible.

The installation OF the new tele-
phone exchange has begun actively.
Poles and holes are being distributed
about the city and before long the resi-
dent who wants a loaf of bread or a
steak will be able to hello for it, and
save himself the inconvenience of a
tramp down town. There are enough
supplies on hand to install 125 tele-
phones. The telephones are not equip
ped with battery, as all of the energy
will be at the central plant. There
are forty volts of battery, twenty for
day and twenty for night service. The
residence telephones are small, and
not as clumsy looking as the ordinary
phone. Business phones are a little
larger and differ in that they have a
little rest for the taking down Of mes
sages. The phones cost about $14
each and will be owned by the tele-
phone company, and installed at the
expense of the company. The tolls
will be 50 a month for business
phones and $3.50 for residence. No
tolls will be charged until enough
phones are installed to give the sub
scriber the benefit of a considerable
system.
The system that will be adopted for
the use of the local company is an up
to date one, and one that is being
adopted by many cities. There is no
bell to ring when you call up central.
Taking down the receiver makes a
little flash of light in a circle of
ground glass on the central switch
board. A number rises above a ground
glass plate, showing the operator
what number is calling. When two
numbers are connected there is a little
red light in each of the glass circles
corresponding to the numbers. That
remains until n Of the numbers
stops talking and hangs up the re-
ceiver. Then the light disappears and
the operator knows one of the takers
has rung off. This avoids the con-
fusion that sometimes results in the
old system where one of the persons
talking hangs up the receiver and goes
away without ringing off.
Some connections have already been
made with the central office, and the
working of the system may be seen
MIR. Allen experimental with it yester-
day and found it worked in good
shape. The central cabinet is equip
ped at present for a hundred phones
and an additional fifty car be con
nected without trouble. There are
also connections provided for toll Off,
ces, for connection of long distance
stations with city subscribers.
Wire pieces and other ap.
paratus are piled UP back of the FRS
National bank building and the rooms
in that building are Uttered with al
sorts of apparatus for the operation o.
the system. The work of installing
telephones will be carried on as rapid
ly as possible, and a number of mel
are working to this end.

Crop reports made by experts who
have travelled through various sec
lions of the state are said to indicate
a yield of seventy-fve million bushels
of wheat for the state OF North Va
kota. This is based on an acreage Of
something like five million, with an
average yield of fourteen bushels. II
the state yields twelve bushels OF
wheat to the acre on an acreage Of
five million, there will be great reason
for congratulation. With an annual
yield of sixty million bushels OF
wheat, with the other grains that are
raised. North Dakota will continue to
be the poor mans land.
