The splendid manner in which
the finances of tae county have
been handled by the present
board of com missioners, is shown
by the fact that the levy for
county purposes is but 81. 80 on
the $1,000, which makes the
county tax comparatively light
tax. This desirable condition
has been brought about by the
excellent business management
which has characterized the
board in dealing with county
matters, the experience and
thorough acquaintance with the
details of the county business,
which the chairman, Geo. Mitch
ell, has attained in his years of
service on the board has been
largely instrumental in this. It
is q condition that is creditable
to Mr.. Mitchell. to the board and
to the county whose interests
have been so well looked after in
these late years.

The friends and acquaintances
of G. Fl. Meyers, late of Water
town, but who has been in Okla
homa recently, will be interested
in the item copied below from
the Redfield Journal Observer.
Mr.. Meyers is an uncle of Mrs.
G. E. Eddy of this city:
last week F. S. Meyers received a
bottle of lubricating oil from his
brother, G.. H., who with a stock
company, owns 1400 acres of land
near Granite, Oklahoma, on which
the we'll from which the oil was taken
is located. This Oil is of five times
the value of the Beaumont product.
A number of people in the neighbor-
hood use it for fuel. Mr.. G. H.
Myres thinks it possible that the
fountain head may be on this 14OO
acre tract and if they can strike it
there will be a big fortune in sight. "

The many friends of the family
of Rev. Oliver Williams were
greatly surprised and shocked
last week to learn Of the death of
Mrs. Williams ut her home in
Scotland, S. D., on Thursday
evening, January 9th, the cause
of death being bronchial pneu-
monia. The body was taken to
Blue Earth City, Mimi, for
burial, the former home Of Mrs.
Williams, and where her mother
had just been buried. A sad
coincidence with the decease of
Mrs. Williams was the fact that
her mother had died just two
days before. the funeral of the
mother taking place on the day
of the daughters death. The
family were for four years resi-
dents of Milbank before being
appointed to the Scotland charge,
and during this time Mrs. Will
liams quiet, unassu ming Chris
tian life and gentle character Won
for her the strong love of the
Christian community and the
esteem of all our people. In this
sad affliction the hearts Of our
people go out in sympathy to the
husband, son and daughter, who
have been SO previously stricken
in the loss of wife and moth er.

 Mr. Barrett is a pioneer mining man of the Klondike having been in the country since 'o4. He was mining at Circle City and was among the first on the ground on the Klondke creeks.
 According to Mr. Barrett the Klondlke is good for many wears of profitable mining. Work on lower dominion has but com mensed and there are 2so men working in good pay. Lower Dominion was never worked before. The policy of the present government of the Yukon Is all that the country could desire. Roads have been opened and will continue to be opened as fast as there Is a need for them. The the royalty has been lowered to five per cent and will without doubt be done away with altogether. There are new districts opening every direction. At Stewart r'ver Mr. Barrett saw some gold from one of the neN sTk'S. | was very eOJrs9 and as pure gold lS he ever slw.
