State Crop Report.

Bismarck, Aug. l3.-The fore part
of the past week was very favorable
for harvesting and haying, but was
followed on Thursday and Friday by
heavy showers. accompanied by high
winds, in nearly all portions of the
state. which stopped work in the fields
and caused heavy grain to lodge badly.
This was followed by frosts in the
northern portion, not heavy enough.
however, to do any damage to grain or
other crops.
Wheat cutting is general in nearly
every section of the state. and is near
ing completion in the southern por-
tion, while but little has been cut in
the extreme northern portion. Yields,
are reported to be disappointing in
most places, the berry being shrunken
as rule, and the heads not well
filed.
Oats and barley yield is good, al
though oats are rusty in some places,
making the yield light. Corn is grow
ing fast.
While fax has improved some in
the northern portion, it still remains
decidedly below the average.

MORE HAIL LOSSES REPORTED
Storm Does Great Damage to Crops
Near Clark City and Mont
pelier.

saturday afternoon at p. m. hail
storm hit the farm of Fritz Gensen.
about II mi.tS southeast of the CITY.
and destroyed the most Of his grain.
some 200 acres of wheat ard oats.
which he had just begun cutting. He
will lose nearly all on the home place.
but had 100 acres insured in the st.
Pau company for $40 an acre. He
had rented place, not hit, on which
he has fax and wheat.
In the same storm William Farley
had about POO acres Of wheat knocked
out. David Fuchs and Sam Baker
also lost from 100 to 29O acres of grain
each.
The stones fell very thick in the
center of the storm, which came from
the northwest. Censor thinks he
would have had some 5000 bushels of
wheat and 1000 bushels of oats. AS
it is, he will come out of the storm
pretty well, owing to the insurance he
carried. f. Hauser, Archie Ferguson,
Henry Tabbit and Will Ferguson also
lost some grain.
The storm began twelve miles south
east OF jamestown and swept into
Barnes county through the Clark City
district, where hail falls nearly every
season and the farmers all have their
crops well insured. At the beginning
the storm was two miles wide and in
Barnes county it increased to four
miles in width. Reports indicate
that a strip over Is miles in length
was devastated.
Wind with velocity of about 35
miles an hour accompanied the storm
and the ripening grain was driven
into the ground.
The Chicago ranch had small
amount of hail but Manager Wash
burn says that it did not do much
damage, cutting across one corner of
the wheat and tangling up a part of
the oats, more by wind than hail.
Theo. and Hugh Maze had losses of a
more complete kind to their grain.
The storm was small in extent and
the other losses in the vicinity of
Montpelier were light.
A little hail also fell west of Pin
gree, but there was no special damage.
1t is reported that the Piercey farm
was struck but the damage there was
slight.
There was a fine rain with the
storm that did good keal of good and
was general in the county. There
may be some losses in Barnes and La
Moure counties but they were not re-
ported to the insurance men here
today, il any such occurred.

WELLBRED STOCK.
Train Load of YounQ Cattle BROUGHT
to the State from Kan.
sas City.
Commissioner of Insurance leutz
Talks of Conditions in Kansas
and Missouri.
Hay Scarce and Corn and Potatoes
Are Bringing Big
Prices.

A train load of white face and other
well bred young cattle came in Tuesday
by way of Edgeley from Kansas City,
for points in this state. They came
over the Milwaukee and N. p, and
were accompanied by Commissioner
of Insurance f. Leutz who had II
cars for his ranch near Hebron and by
w. w. Graves of Jamestown. Ten
cars went to Dickinson for Banker
Richards of that place, and four cars
were for Messrs. Fuller and Graves Of
Jamestown. These were yearling
heifers. The cattle for west Of the
river were two year olds mostly, and
cost laid down about S28 each. Com
missioner Leutz said:
''The late rains in Kansas and Mis-
souri, have made it possible to get
enough fodder for stock but it will be
hard to get corn for fattening. At
one time it was thought there would
be an almost total failure Of corn and
all kinds of feed and there was a
panic and young stock were sold at
ruinous prices for the farmer. They
have advanced now to about So and
over a hundred. Hay will be scarce
in the southern states but not as
scarce as potatoes. They were paying
sl.4O busnel for potatoes in Kansas
City. Corn looks better in Iowa but
the crop will be short. We expect to
put out the stock on shares
The train of % cars came over the
Milwauk road by way of Edgeley,
and made fine time leaving Kansas
City at 8 p. m. Saturday night. Few
stops were made and the stock were
in excellent condition. There were
about $50 head of stock on the train
and the money value was in the
of $4,000.
E. S. Rolfe. OF Minnewaukan also
had two cars of young cattle shipped
in from Iowa where he has been
gathering them up. They will be
sold to farmers in Benson county.

LOCATED THIEVES
Vim. Mawhinney Receivers Property
Stolen From His Residence
South of City.

Wednesday the residence of VIM.
Mawhinney, Is miles south of James
town was broken into and looted by
party Of five driving in light wagon.
Mr.. Mawhinney was at work in a field
nearby and noticed the party. When
he arrived at the house they had left.
He found that the door and a window
had been smashed in and nearly all
the contents of the residence were
gone. Flour, meat, cutlery, dishes
and other articles were missing. A
portion of mower was also stolen
The furniture was smashed and every
thing turned upside down.
Today Mr.. Mawhinney traced the
thieves to point near the mill bridge
in this city where they were in camp
and were preparing meal with the
eatableS stolen. He told Chief L Moore
and they went to the camp, took the
fellows into custody and secured a
portion of the plunder. The five evil
doers were badly scared and offered to
pay for the damage done. Mr.. Nav
Kinney fixed a sum as suitable dam
ages which was gladly paid and the
men were released.
Mr.. Mawhinney thought this the
best plan as the prosecution Of the
offenders would cost the county heavily
and the members Of the party seemed
to be very sorry for what they had
done.

Upon this valuation the railroads
will pay about $4,000 into the state
treasury in taxes during the coming
year, aside from the amount they pay
into counties and school districts for
county and school taxes.
The state board also assessed the
express companies doing business in
the state, as provided by the constitu-
tional amendment and law enacted by
the last legislature. The board fixed
the valuation of the express compan-
les in the state at $50 per mile Of rail-
road over which they operate, the fig
ures for the several companies being
as follows:
Northern Pacific Express company,
S49, 716; Great Northern Express COM
pany, s55, 73O; Western, s27, $50; United
States, $500; American, STA. The
assessment will be apportioned among
the counties inlproportion to the num-
Der Of miles Of road operated. This is
the first time a separate assessment
has been made upon express compan-
les.
The board has still to consider the
matter of assessment Of dining and

Board fixes the Valuation of Rail-
road Property IN North
Dakota.
Valuation is a Slight Increase Over
the the Figures of last
Year..
Seven Railroads in the State and
the Amount Of the VAL
uation.

olSNudlCh, N. ~, Aug. IL AC oCeICC
board of equalization has disposed of
the matter of railroad assessment,
and has fixed the valuation Of the sew
eral railroads in the state at practic-
ally the same figures as last year.
There is some difference in the mile
age reported and this makes slight
change in the total valuation for pur-
poses of taxation. AS the assessed
valuation has been decided on by the
state board the total valuation of rail-
road property in the state for pur-
poses of taxption is over $4,000, 600, a
slight increase over the figures of last
year.
The resolution for the assessment
of the railroads was introduced by yAu-
ditor Carlblom. 1t provided for the
assessment Of the several roads in the
state as follows:
Northern Pacific road: Main line.
377.56 miles; branches, 616.77 miles.
The Fergus Falls branch has been in
creased in length from AZ to "A miles
and the Casselton branch, COILS miles,
has been constructed. The valuation
of the main line and branches is fixed
at $1,000 mile, and the total yalua-
tion for assessment is s6, 463,l77.
Great Northern road: Main line,
5O7.O2 miles. The valuation is $1,000
mile and the total valuation fixed at
s7,244, 965.
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road:
Fargo branch, 69.4O miles at the rate
of $4,000 mile, assessed valuation,
$45l, 100; Harlem and Edgeley
branches at 81. $50 a mile, assessed yal-
uation, s222,os5.
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste.

at $3.50 a mile, total valuation, s2,-
Ill, $50; branch lines, 1921 miles at

sleeping and dining car companies is a
difficult problem for the reason that
the roads either operate their own
cars, or have an interest in them,
which is claimed to be assessed under
the general assessment.
The board is busy this afternoon
with the consideration Of real estate.
1t is expected the total assessed valua-
tion of property in the state will
rerch about $l2O,OOO,OOO.

WILL NOT YIELD $250,OO0
That is the Amount of the Additional
Appropriations.
POSSIBLE THAT SOME CANT BE MET
Treasurer Lacy Says the Council Of State Will
Pass Upon the Matter. Twenty Million
Increase Will Yield Only
S36. 600 In Revenue.
$50, 900 in Revenue.

The new Revenue Act has not yielded
the increase in revenues that the Legis-
lature expected and there is a strong
probability that the State Treasurer may
not be able to meet some of the $25O,OOO
increased appropriations.
81 do not know what will be the re-
suit" said State Treasurer Lacy yester-
day, "until it is, finally ascertained how
great is the increased valuation. 1t is
subject that the Council of State will
have to consider"
The official figures received by the
State Auditor, which were published in
the News and Observer Wednesday, in
dcate that the increased valuation will
be little over twenty million dollars. The
largest estimates are twenty-five mill
lions. The Legislature expected that the
new revenue machinery would result in
an increased valuation of between thirty
and forty million.
With a twenty million increase in val
uations the State will only realize 1885,
900 revenue. OF course the special licenses
and taxes imposed by the Legislature will
augment this sum, but it is a long dis
tance from the $25O,O00 in additional ap-
preparations made by the last General
Assembly
The State Treasury funds are at a low
ebb just now, and it is all the Treasurer
can do to meet the pension warrants
which are pouring in. With the present
prospect it does not seem possible that
the Treasurer can meet all of the new ap-
propriations. One hundred thousand Of
the $250,000 additional appropriations is
included in the pension warrants. OF
course this appropriation is being met,
but there is $1OO 900 for the public schools
and $50 900 for State institutions. Without
help from some quarter it does not seem
possible that the State Treasurer will
be able to meet all of the increased
aDpropriatiOns
