A New Press.

Our new press arrived Friday, and
Saturday morning NJ. Gobel, a press
erecter from Sioux City, arrived. When
the machine was unlocked we discovered
that the ceiling of the press room was
too low to accommodate it, so you can
readily see we had troubles Of our Gwn.
Now don't remind us TO tell our troubles
TO- the policeman, for we have already
done that, as it was necessary to get
permission from the Mayor and city
council before we could raise t he build
ing. We called in Lee Harmon, J. II.
Duncan and John Fisher to perform on
the house, AMI VIM. Bennett, better
known as Black Bill" to assist in tax
ing down the old and putting up the
new machine, and all hands Went TO
work. In just fourteen hours the boys
had the building remodeled and ready
for the press, Notwithstanding they had
been delayed considerably by stopping
to help the press gang put the cylinder
and frame III position, which proved no
small job as the complete machine
weighs II $40 pounds. And the cylinder
alone 3,7O0 pounds, and right here we
wish to remark, that if you have a hurry
up job in the line of carpenter work you
want done quick and in first-class shape
just call on Dad Dunkin, Lee Har-
man and John Fisher.
We got the press unpacked and were
just a iywheel short, so had to wire
Chicago for it. The wheel arrived Mon
day morning and by night the machine
was in place and in running order.
Mike Gobel is a pressman from away
back, having held his present position
as expert for the Chicago Newspaper
Union since 1884; he is courteous, oblig-
ing and answered all questions asked
about the machine by all the force,
including the devil, and bystanders.
He departed for Sisseton Monday night.
This issue of the Reporter and
Farmer was printed on the new press.
The following is the description of
the machine as given in the specimen
book:
THE CRANsToN IMPROVED BOOK AND

The improved book and news
paper press has all of the features which
made the improved news paper press the

III addition has a seperate heavy cast
IRON base plate which gives additional
strength and solidity to the machine,

higher rate of speed without Jar or
INJURY to the press. 1t is especially
dosighed for fine book, newspaper and
general job printing. For accuracy of
register and convenience of making

Louis Kauffeld, a Bavarian glass
worker, makes extraordinary claims for
a new kind of glass he has just discov-
cred. 1t is a glass of such nature that
it will not break, and can be nodded
into any desired form, that can be ham,
mered without catastrophe-in short, a
glass that will be as malleable as lead
or any other metal. With an ordinary
goblet made of this new material you
can hammer a nail into a tough board.
You can bore a hole in a glass pane and
then patch it with another piece of the
same kind of glass. Coffee pots and
tea kettles, it is claimed, can be made
of the new substance, and will no more
crack, even under the most intense
heat, than would sreel.

A much-needed record in this
county is a Transfer" or "Present
Ownership" record. The laws of
most states provide for such u record
to be kept by the county auditor and
eventually we will have such a law
on the statutes of our state; in fact
a law to that effect viii probably be
introduced during the present SEES
sion of our state legislature, and no
doubt will be passed, Day county
is very much in need of a record of
this kind. In looking over the
assessment rolls for the year 1902
we find that lands are assessed to
parties who have not owned them
during the last Is years. The
assessor continues to assess the land
to the original owner, no matter how
many times it has been transferred.
La some townships lands are assessed
to Unknown" or Non resident
and the treasurer must then look up
the owner before entering same on
tax list. The assessors have not the
time, nor can they be expected, to
examine the records in the register
of deeds Office and ascertain the
title to every piece of land in taeir
respective townships. Nor can the
auditor look up the title after the
assessment has been made and
ascertain whether the different des-
criptions have been assessed to the
present owners. A transfer record
would show at all times TO whom
the land should be assessed, and it
would be a very simple matter for
the ssesso tc copy from this record
the name of the owner and also get
the proper description of the lands
to be assessed. 1t will require con-
siderable work, be an expense to the
county and take some time to bring
the records up to date, but sooner
or later it will have to be done, and
the longer it is postponed the more
work will be required and the more
complicated it will become, so it
would be to the advantage of the
county if the commissioners would
Immediately make arrangements for
bringing a record of this kind UP to
date, and it is to be hoped that they
will take some action Immediately.
After it is brought up, all transfers
would be entered in this record
before being fled by the register of
deeds, thus ii would at all times
shcw the present ownership of the
land.

Statistics show that fire loss for
1902 was considerable less than that
of the previous year. The reports

a very profitable and prosperous
business; still, in the face of these
facts, insurance rates are exhorbi-
nent. A little legislation ON the
proposition would be appreciated by

If the Standard oil trust wants to

enmity which will not be readily

order to acquire great wealth, take
