South Dakota Will Probably Get the
Revenue Department Plums on the 3S
Basis of Revenue. s:s

Washington, March 19.--It appears
that the possibility for agreement be-
tween the representatives of North and
South Dakota in regard to the location
of headquarters and appointment of
officials for the new internal revenue
district comprising those states has been
worked out on the basis that as the aggre-
gate receipts in North Dakota are about
one-third of those in South Dakota, the
latter furnishing receipts amounting to.
$lsO,OO0 a year, North Dakota people
would be satisfied with the location of
headquarters at atAberdeen provided their
state may not furnish the location. A..
There is some controversy among
South Dakota people with regard to
headquarters as we'll as to the appoint
ment of a collector. The candidate rec
commended by Senator Kyle, D. B. Collins
OF Groton, has strong Endorsements and
no other name is yet formally presented,
although strong Endorsements will be
offered in behalf of Herman Ellerman of
Yankton.
Authority has been granted for the
organization of the First National bank
of Lidgerwood, N. D., capital $4,000.
NJ. 0. Movious, J. Fl. Movious and e. A.
Movious are incorporators.
Senator Hansbrnugh returned from
New York and will remain here two or
three weeks. The senator is interested
IN securing prompt action by the war
department in providing for the neces-
sary improvements at the army post in
Bismarck and it is expected that about
$4,000 which has become available
through appropriations by congress will
be expended on this post this year.

TREASURY RECEIPTS.

State Treasurer Mcmillan Says They
are Satisfactory, and More Than in
Former Years.
State Treasurer Mcmillan in Fargo
Forum: The amount of money paid in
for state taxes seems to be quite up to
the mark. It was fortunate that the
bill extending time of tax payments was
not passed. The state is in fair condi-
ton and growing better. In 1898 the
December receipts by the state treasurer
as shown by the record we're $48,422
The same month in 80 receipts s35, 1929.
In January, 1901, S76,719. In February
'99, receipts, S189,500, in February 1900,
S186, 1856. The returns for February
1901, are not due at our office until
March 30, but look for good report.
McHenry and Walsh counties returns
for February are not yet in. 1t looks
like the taxes for this year are as we'll
paid as any year. The insurance COM
missioners report, due the last of March
will augment the treasury balances from
S35 900 to $45, 600. To have extended the
time of tax payment, would have cut
short the school funds and left every
district and township behind in funds
for current expenses and all teachers
would have suffered.

BUILDING AT WILTON.
Fine Weather Being Taken Advantage

T. Building: ~. -

=, Building:
a}s The town of Wilton at present is hav-
ing q regular building boom and it's in
huence is being felt all along the line of
the Washburn road in Mclean and Bur
leigh counties. During the past two
weeks the finest kind of summer weather
has prevailed and every available man
has been pressed into service by the sew
eral contractors and builders of that
town and as consequence half dozen
buildings are now in course of erection.
The building activity displayed in. and
about Wilton surpasses in magnitude
anything heretofore experienced, and it's
influence is such that all the farmers
for miles around are taking more inter-
est in affairs in general and will make
preparations to largely improve their
5habitations as we'll as put in an extra
ordinarily large crop this year. =
q The Washburn company propose to
make extensive improvements at Wilton
this summer. The city of Washburn,
and the townsites of Baldwin and Arnold
will be given considerable attention
which will result in the erection of hand
some and commodious depots and ware
houses at these points. All indications
point to a highly prosperous and profit
able season for the residents of the two
banner counties on the Slope, .z...-

Play.
Larve johnson, single man, who has
been living alone on his claim eight
miles east of Bowbells, was found dead
near his house Wednesday, and indica-
tions point toward foul play. Mr.. John
son came to Bowbells last fall from Twin
Lake, Mimi, and purchased the claim
on which he has been living. He was
reported as being very wealthy and
carried large sum of money on his
person at times. For several days he
had not been seen by the neighbors, and
the claim presented deserted appear
ance. An Investigation was held and
the body of the unfortunate man was
found in the snow near the barn. There
were no marks Of violence, but in his
clothing was found $500 bank wrapper,
indicating that there had been robbery
and it is supposed murder. Probably he
had been dead for several days as one of
his horses had died for want of care, and
another bad broken its rope and was on
on the prairie grazing.

been named in former years, and the
aldermen from each ward designated the
persons to act as judges, and also as

IRRIGATION.

Northwestern Senators Purpose to Sc
cure Some Legislation or Know the
Reason Why Not.
Washington, March 19.-If the SEN.
ators and representatives in congress
who are urging government aid for
irrigation of the arid land region of the
United States adhere to their announced
intention, river and harbor legislation
will have a rocky road in the future.
There were a number of reasons ad-
vanced by Senator Carter of Montana
in explanation of his action in talking
the river and harbor bill to death in the
session just closed. It has also been
explained that one of the motives was
the failure of congress to provide the
funds for experimental reservoirs in
some of the arid land states. The SEN
ators and representatives of the arid
land states announce that it is their in
tention to work in and out of season for
legislation looking to support from the
government for the irrigation of the
arid land regions. They assert that it's
Importance justiies large expenditures
by the government. They have tried
for several years to engraft legislation
upon river and harbor bills, and have
often made the threat that unless they
were given recognition that they would
utilize filibustering tactics to defeat the
measure. A flibuster was started in
the congress preceding the one just
closed, but it was abandoned before ad-
journment. The irrigation projectors
have given it out that until they are
| recognized no more omnibus river and
harbor bills will pass if they can pre-.
| vent it. They assert that the omnibus
bill annually carries bills or provides fol
| Improvements of 10 merit, that the
practice is pernicious and should be
| abandoned. Meritorious projects, they
contend, should be presented IN the
form of separate measures, and they
| will not be opposed. This is the pro
gram of the irrigation managers, and ii
remains to be seen whether it will be
| enforced.

Here is a game that Is little too long for
recess, but just right for those girls who take
their luncheon to school and then eat it so
quickly that they have 40 minutes or so to
wait before school begins in the afternoon.
The girls who play it choose sides" and
there can be as many on a side as you can
get, although there should not be less than
four. Each side chooses the name Of some
animal, being careful not to let the other
side know their choice. There is a captain
of each side After the animals have been
chosen. one side goes TO the blackboard, and
each girl makes a straight line. Those lines
form part OF the outline of the animal which
that side has chosen. The lines may be
Joined together or not, but each line must be
part of the outline of the animal chosen.
The captain Of the side may decide whether
to have each girl draw one or two lines, but
each girl must draw the same number. The
object is to sketch on the blackboard enough
of the outline of the animal so that an equal
number Of new lines drawn by the other side
and connecting the old lines will complete
the picture. The side first at the board is
very careful not to let the other side know
what animal they intend to picture, and in
drawing ii they make the outlines as dis
connected as possible, so that the other side
may be misled into making a finished picture
