Large Increase in Valuation.

Inc state board eQualized the values
OF horses, sheep and cattle in the var
louS districts in the state at 20 per
cent less in each case than last wear.
Concerning the valuation OF prop
erty IN the state the Bismarck Tri-
bune says:
"Ihe total valuation of property in
the state OF North Dakota for the pur-
poses Of assessment this year will
reach about sl35, ,0eo, 600. This win be
an increase Of more than ten million
collars over last year. The railroads
get an increase Of over 81, 100000 and
other natural increases in value make
up the remainder. 1t is noticed that
IN many parts OF the state where land
valuations were low year ago. there
has been considerable increase. Lands
which went begging before the recent
rise IN values, are now in demand. and
the value has increased accordipglv.
The increased valuation of the state
VIII result in greater tax payments,
and with the excellent crops through
the state this year. the taxes will be
paid cheerfully and from full purses.

1000 Teachers Failed to Pass.

for teachers certificates to have their
examination papers marked by the
state superintendent instead of the
county uperntendent, over 1000
teachers have failed to pass the re-
CURED examination for teaching in
the public schools. Supt. Deyine was
instrumental in getting the law pass
ed that required the above condition
as TO examination papers. Theresult,
1T is claimed, has been beneficial in a
marked degree and has been the means

ers, has raised the salaries of district
school teachers, brought in many high
grade instructors from outside states
and sent prospective teachers to the
| normal schools for more training. All
TOLD, the effect has been most benefic-
| lal upon the SchOO' system of the state.
The average salary paid female teach
ers in the district schools of North
Dakota is $3.50 a month and male
teachers $45 month. This is about
the best average shown by any State
in the union and is much higher than
ruled before the law went into effect.
| Supt. Devine also secured the pas
sage OF a law whereby the district
school boards of a county can be con-

Death of Brakeman Stevens.

Fred Stevens, who was shot in the
thigh by the negro Griffith, ona n. P.
train near Bismarck, died at the
-rainerd hospital Monday evening.
1t was necessary to amp1tate thelimb
and the result was what the doctors
feared in case of amputation. The
Fargo Forum says ''that the deceased
has lived in Fargo for number of
years and was a man highly respected
by all who knew him. On the line of
the n. p, where he has acted as pas
Seuger brakeman, he was much es-
teemed by patrons generally. He was
very fond o. us wife, children, ard
home, and was known to be thrifty and
saving. He carried policy in the A.
o. z. w. for $1,000, and also an acci-
dent policy in another company for So
900. He owned his home on Twelfth
Street North which his friends think
is unincumbercd. His assailant is in
jail at Bismarck awaiting a trial for
the crime.
Griffin was badly frightened at the
news Of Stevens death and seems to
realize tue bad effects of the same on
his case. There are no witnesses to
the shooting, except the four men who
were with Griffin at the time of the
shooting. They were not held and
have disappeared. So far as the actual
shooting is concerned, that has been
admitted by the defendent. Ii. how
ever. he should not 60 on the stand at
the trial, it is difficult to see how he
could be Unidentified by the state as the
man who did the shooting.
