ELEVATOR MEN OBJECT.
Validity of the Acts of the Moth Da-
kota Board of Equalization VIII
BE Decided in the Courts

sAA0AtF OF tine Acts OF the Moth Ia.
kOta Board of EHualixation WIN
BE Decided I'm the Courts. ].
The validity of the action Of the last
state board of equalization, in equaliz-
ing the personal property assessment
of the entire State of South Dakota,
has been attacked in an action
brought by the Duluth Elevator COM
pany, corporation doing business in
the state, against the members of the
state board of equalization
Notice has been filed with the clerk
of the supreme court of a motion to
be made at the coming term of the up
per court, to bring the whole action Of
the state equalzeirs before the SUI
preme court OH writ Of certiorari, to
determine whether the state board
exceeds it's powers. The motion is
based on the affidavit of X. r. Guth-
RE, general manager of the elevator
company in question, which alleges
that the state board exceeded it's au-
thority and powers in equalizing the
assessments of personal property, es-
pecially with reference to elevators.
Tracy r. Bangs Of Grand Forks is
the attorney for the elevator company,
and the action brought is one of deep
Importance. 1t is claimed by the
plaintiffs in the action that the state
board Of equalization has no authority
to raise some items of personal prop
erty in st county and reduce others, or
to take any action which is not an
equalization, the contention being that
the board must raise or reduce all
classes of personal property at a Civ
en- rate, to raise or reduce the personal
property Of a county to what is
deemed a fair valuation. Any action
which is not based on this method, the
plaintiff claims, is not an equalization.
but an assessment something that the
state beard has no power to make. 1t
IS also claimed that the last state
board increased the valuation of per-
sonal property in the whole state in
the sum of $S,00000O over the figures
returned by the assessors and equal
lied by the county boards of equaliZa-
ton, and the right to take this action
is also questioned.
With reference to elevators, it is al
legged that the state board in some
counties, has raised the valuation of
this class of property from 10 to 100
per cent without increasing the valua-
ton OF other clyasSeS of property in
the same proportion. The same claim
is made, also, with reference to goods
and merchandise.
If the supreme court issues the writ
of certiorari the entire matter will
come up for review and the court will
pass Gil the authority Of the state to
raise or reduce the valuation of GER
tain classes of personal property with
out raising or reducing all personal
property in the same proportion.

Washburn Road Gets the Advance
Guard of Many Hundreds From
Iowa.
Thirty-three cars of immigrants
nlovables and four cars of immigrants
arrived at Bismarck recently, and
were taken to points along the line of
the Washburn road. This is the first
of movement that will bring several
hundred farmers from Iowa and ad-
joining states to the lands along the
line CT the Washburn road. Agents
report that it is with difficulty they
can prevent landseekers coming to
this section before the snow is off the
ground and the weather permanently
clear.
The Northern Pacific has requested
the council, in view of the, extensive
Improvements made by the company
in Bismarck, to reduce the assessment
of the Northwest hotel, owned by the
company. from $4,000 to $1,000.
State Senator A. +. Cox Of Valley
City was in Bismarck this week, and
said there was no truth in the recent
reports that he intends to leave Valley
City and locate in Fargo.
Maj. Geo. l.. Robinson. recently ap-
pointed Indian agent at Fort Berthold,
to succeed Thomas Richards has sent
his resignation to Senator Hansbrough.
The confirmation was held up because
of some charges filed by the Indian
Rights association, which had already
been refuted oy Robinson. When it
became known that the charges were
up again, Robinson resigned, rather
than he bothered with the matter
again. He is a prosperous merchant
at Coal Harbor, and his business is
more profitable than the agency would
be to him.
Two convictions have been had in
the United States court at Bismarck
for selling liquor to Indians. Andrew
Slater, a negro. was sentenced to six
months in Jail and $500 fine. and Jo-
seph Fuller got two months in Jail and
500 fine. Both offcnses We're commit

CAUSE FARMERS MUCH TROUBLE
KILL MORE DEER AND GROUSE
THAN HUNTERS DO IN OPEN
SEASON.
GREAT WOLF HUNT IS PLANNED
COLD WEATHER. AND HEAVY
SHOWS HAVE MADE THEM
bold.

Green Bay, Wis, March 15.-In the
woods of Northern Wisconsin wolves
are more numerous than they have
been at any time within twenty years.
They have not been hunted lately be-
cause of reduction in the bounty
pad for scalps.
The exceptionally cold weather and
heavy, SHOWS have made them bold
and they are often seen close to the
small towns. All farm stock is kept
housed and the wolves so far have not
attacked any farm animals except
hogs.
They have invaded several pens at
night The destruction of deer by
them has been great and they have
killed many ruffled grouse, which they
attack when the covevy is sleeping.
Around Glidden, Butternut and 9TH
err villages in the southern part of
Ashland county, Wis, large
Packs Are Roaming.
C.. e. Conley, travelling salesman
who made recently a long trip through
the pine regions, reports that loggers
say that they have not seen wolves SO
thick for years. He saw places where
deer and grouse had been killed by
them. and is convinced that this winter
wolves have killed more deer than
We're shot by hunters during the open
season.
Two hundred hunters of Ashland
AID vicinity are arranging for a wolf
hunt to last for several days. It will
begin probably at some point on the
Northern Pacific railway.
Only shotguns will be used. Two
hundred lilies in the woods at once
wouli be more dangerous to the hunt
ers than to the wolves.

'The brush with color is passed over
