Ward lines zig-zag over the map of
Canton. according to McRoberts plan,
bers Monday night think that light
ming rods were necessary. McRoberts
took poll books, carefully figured out
where the vote was packed away and
then drew his pencil up street, down
an alley and away again at right an
giles, The Republican league. contain
ing many members, who would like
a political job, hurriedly approved the
plat and sent McRoberts, John b.
Gravis and DR.. T. c. McQuate to per-
suade Republican council members
that they should work for it.
At the close of the council meeting
Monday night the three committeeman
met with the seven Republican coun-
cilmen and several other Republicans
in the committee room. The confer
aence lasted for several hours. with Me-
Roberts in the chair. His problem was
n little too deep for sudden unfolding:
and nobody, not even the other mem
bers Of the Republican league commit
tee, knew anything about the ward
lines when the teacher ceased his ex-
PLANTATION.
Another meeting was planned. in Or
der to give McRoberts and City Clerk

There is said to be another scheme
back of the move in the consumma-
ton of which the Republicans hope to
see the fulfilment of the gerrymander.
This is to have all the Republican
members Of council go into the matter
bl;ndly; vote and stick together, until
under a deeply planned provision of
the new code. the matter will be re-
serred to the common pleas judges,
council failing to agree.
Judges Harter ard Amber have

THE LOCAL OUTLOOK.

Never before has the republican
 party of the region now embraced within Santa Cruz county been SC thoroughly united, harmonious and confident. All the breaches and contentious which through nearly ten years rent and tore the party have been healed, there is every disposition upon the part of all members of the party to put aside all individual preferences, to no- minate only the strongest and best men, and to go in and win. With that disposition, and with the pre- vailing local conditions there seems every chance for success of the en- tire republican ticket at the polls in November.
 THE OASIS has always contended that Santa Cruz county is natural ly republican. To make it actually so it is necessary to get the party all together, put up good ticket, everybody work for the entire ticket and draw out a full vote. Those are the lines upon which the party is now organized, and upon those lines it will win.
 In this connection THE OASIS wishes to say that as the party or gan it has no candidate or candi- dates for any office or offices. It expects to support the entire ticket with all the loyalty and earnest ness possible. When the republi- can convention presents the no- minees of the party the gentlemen so named will be it's candidates. Until that time it will have very little to say as to the merits or availability of any candidate or candidates for nomination. It is content to have an undisputed chance to pull for the success of re- publican principles and candidates, and it has no desire to dictate.

! Sndre or puDlC DurueHS. IL Hds been a difficult matter to approx innate the value of the various mines, so the county com mission CTS asked the mine owners them. selves to agr ee upon relative val. uation of the mines. This they did and handed the total valuation of fthe commissioner as $9.150,000 with the relative value of each mine stated. Not that they expected to get so low a valuation as this but so that the different mines would each pay their fair proportionate tax. The county commissioners made an increase in this valuation so it amounted in all to a little over thirty millions of dollars, each mine being increased in va luation in the same ratio, except in one or two instances where there was good reason not to do so.
 I remain,
 Very sincerely yours,
 c. A. d' AUTREMoNT, JR.
 To the sheets of the letter there was fastened a clipping from one of the Duluth newspapers, of which the following is a copy:
 A topic of no small interest to the iron ore men and their repre- sentatives is the assessment made on the St. Louis county mines by the county board. The assess ment was raised by the board from $10,000,000 to over $30, ,00000 At meeting of the men owning mines or their representatives a schedule of the relative values of the mines was prepared the az gregate figures being $9,150,000, but this was not made by the iron ore interests with any idea that the county board would adopt it but merely to show the relative va ues so that horizontal raise in valuations would be affected. On the Missaba range the total valua- ton was given as S7,747,725 and on the Nermillion range $1 ,403, ,125 The value of the old shipping properties was given as $6,043, 750, the new shipping mines as $559,- 375 and the non shipping prop critics as $1,144,600. The mining men are said to be generally satis- fled with the raise in assessment as they expected one and did not object if the raise was fair accord ing to present conditions. The mining men have been quite dis posed to treat the county in fair spirit.
 The gist of the foregoing is that the mining operators of St. Louis county, Minnesota, and the county board held conference in which the operators presented schedule of the relative values of the various mines, which the board trebled for assessment pur- poses, and the assessment at that rate was accepted. The marked sent bv d'Autremont shows that while the raise by the county board was nearly horizon tai, it was not entirely so, but that the proportionate raise was greater upon some properties than upon others.
 The point to it all is that the interests of St. Lonis which are no greater than

HOW DONE ELSEWHERE.

The recent articles upon mine taxation in THE OASIS have drawn the following letter from an esteemed friend of the paper, who lives and operates in one of the greatest mining regions in the world, who has also mining in- terests in Arizona and Sonora, and frequently visits this region to look out for his investments.
 The letter will be read with no lit- tie interest as showing how the prob lem of mine taxation is elsewhere handled, for which reason it is herewith presented, with the omis- sion of one paragraph only (de- signated by stars) which has no connection with the rest of the missive
 Duluth, Mlnn., Sept. 7, 1902. Cor. ALLEN T. BIRD,
 Nogales, Ariz.
 DEAR SIR: l have noticed sev- eral articles in THE OASIS of late about taxing the mines in Arizona, and 1 remember our conversation on that subject in Mexico last winter, therefore, thinking it might be of interest to you, 1 send you under seperate cover, list of the iron mines of this county and their assessed valuation. which as you shall see amounts to a little over thirty millions of dollars, and the money derived therefrom in taxation will exceed $600,000 this year.
 We had a good deal of difficulty in this county in arriving at a fair and just way of taxing the mines and have tried the system of taxing on output but after a few years have abandoned it and now the mines are divided into two classes, namely; the working and non- working mines. The working mines that are producing iron ore are as sessed at good, round figures, while those that have never been opened up are assessed much lower and for far less than they would actually sell for.
 It would be impossible to work all the mines in this county at once to their fair limit as with three railroads to them the ore could not be handled and the production would exceed the demand. Last year, the mines of this, St. Louis County, produced 10.7S0,953 long tons [2240 lbs. per ton of ore, and this year will exceed 100000 tons In the paper sent 1 have marked with a pencil in brackets, the producing mines. The others are known bodies of iron ore but have never been opened up for shipping purposes.

two per cent. With the same kind of an assessment in Arizona the rate of taxation would not ex- ceed that figure.

at Sioux Falls for Double

who occupied the position of a school
teacher n additional government
farmer at the Ponca sub>agency Oh
the Rosebud reservation.
The bravery exhibited by Walking
Shield, the Indian who was hanged
here on October "a last, was surpassed
by the nerve displayed by Bear. While
the rope and black cap were being adj
justed, Bear did not exhibit the slight
est symptom OF feeling or fear. Not
even n culver shook his form.
He was brought to the gallows at
9:02, the trap was then sprung q min
ute later, and at 9:16, fourteen minutes
afterward, he was officially pronounced
dead.
Rev. william Holmes, the native
Episcopal preacher at Santee agency,
Nebraska, accompanied him to the gal
lows, and while the black cap and rope
were being adjusted repeated in low
tones to the condemned Indian an APP
propriate portion OF the Episcopal SER
vice.
Last night Rev. Mr.. Holmes visited
Bear in the county jail, and remained
with him for n time. At 1880 last
night Bear retired and slept until about

He Had Robbed.

Aberdeen, 5. D., Dec. 6.-Thomas
Burns, on trial here on the charge Of
highway robbery and with shooting one
of the victims of himself and his pal,
one Andrews, a found guilty by the
Jury. Burns and Andrews were both
arrested and demanded separate trials.
They held up the harvest hands from
Chicago and after getting their money,
or rs much of 1t as they could find on
searching them, fired a shot at the men
as they were re%treatirg. William
Smerling of Chicago was one Of the
victims and he was hit by the pistol
ball In the ankle. The charge Of assault
with intent to kill is also made against
the highwaymen and on this they will
later be tried. The trial of Andrews is
now in progress. There had been a
number Of holdups hereabouts, harvest
hands being the victims and it is be-
lieved that Burns and Andrews were
the highwaymen, as the trouble ceased
after their arrest. Both prisoners
fought against being photographed
and it is believed they are bad men and
wanted elsewhere. They came near
breaking Jail here in the fall after their
arrest, being caught just in the nick of
time. 1t is believed the sentence will
be for several years.

E MORE N
The Food and Dairy Commissioned u
Greatly Hammered.


Huron, S. D., Dec. S.-Accordlng to
the statements made by Hon. G. p.
Sherwood, foo and dairy commissioner
for South Dakota the business of his
office is moro or less hampered because
of a lack OF funds TO carry on the work.
| The hope is expressed that the legisla-
ture this winter will be more liberal
and make an appropriation sufficient to
meet at least the more urgent demands
of the office. So far much has been done
| for the betterment of the zoe put up
on the markets of the state, n some of
the rankest authorizations nav been
discovered and the goods forced out of
market.
Mr.. Sherwood says there Is not
enough money appropriated by the
state for the department to get the
maximum Mount of good out of the
situation. Were there "a sufficient ex-
pense fun Mr.. Sherwood would have
a mar constantly on the road In In
spection work of each food and dairy
product. There should be a FUND for
farmers institute work, an appropria-
ton OF $500 for a winter institute.
j. III. Hubbard is assistant commits
sioner, and he and Mr.. Sherwood are
on the road as much as the expense
will allow. They visit the
grocery stores, and when an off-color
manufacture or preparation Is found
the seller ana MANUFACTURED are nOtl-
fled. STUFF is sent to Brookings for
analysis, but there should be a chemist
in connection with the department. In
the same line Of inspection the state
OF Minnesota employs three chemists,
and the pure food department has an
expense fund OF $4,000 per annum to
draw on.
Manufacturers now recognize in the
business two classes OF states-"food
states" and the other. They send out
a better quality Of the same manufac-
tured article to the food states. 1t Is
conceded hat we get a better quality
OF the same article.
The state dairy meeting this winter
will be held in Aberdeen-about Febru-
airy land will be held in conjunction
with the North Dakota people, who will
come down over the line and join the
South Dakota b~uttermakers.

Aberdeen Convicts Won't Get Mini
mum Time Either.

Aberdeen, S. D.. Dec. S.-Andrews,
the pal OF Tom Burns, vas found guilty
OF highway robbery, the jury being out
fifteen minutes. In Burns case the
jury returned its verdict of guilty in
fourteen minutes. The minimum pen
atty for highway robbery In South Da-
kota IS ten years, n IT is believed
that Judge Mccoy will make the sem
tenCe more severe, as the men shot and
wounded one of their victims after rob
bling him.
The interesting embezzlement case,
in which j. II. Geeslin, formerly agent
for the Farmers Elevator company Of
James, is accused of embezzlcment, is
now on trial. Geeslin disappeared
some three years ago and it was al
legged that he took with him 81, 700 be-
longing to the company. He reap
peared here last spring and was ar
rested. His defense is that he lost
the money specializing In wheat upon

pany. This is the second trial, the

BLAME FOR
Jury lmpaneIed, and Inquest Will Bo
Held December IL.

Chicago, Dec. GA jury was impan-
eled by Coroner Traeger to ascertain
the cause Of the Lincoln hotel fire in
which fourteen persons lost their lives,
and to fix the guilt for negligence. At
ter viewing the bodies Of the victims of
the fire, the jury went TO the i'll fated
hotel, where an examination was made
of the various rooms. The jurors were
then dismissed to meet for the inquest,
which will begin December II.
AT the conclusion of The inspection
Coroner Traeger said:
The fire was undoubtedly caused by
the explosion Of an oil stove in the rear
Of the third floor. The building is very
carelessly constructed, the fire escape is
worthless, the rooms are o~utrageously
small, and it is nothing short of a crime
that such a building should have been
used as a housing place for human be.
