State Reaource..

The assessment for the year does
not DO justice to the state, nor in any
way indicate the growth of value. For
the two previous years particular ef-
Iort la been made to secure a COM
pilance with the statute which re-
aulres property to be listed at itS
true value, and though no substantial
compliance was secured, still the agi-
tatlon resulted in a higher standard;
put this year there was no agitation,
ana the assessor dropped back to the
OLD method of listing at about one
third OF the true value. However, a
gain of ~ per cent is shown, and it
may be safely assumed that the ag-
gregate value of the states wealth is
$3.50, 600, 900.
The business of the people contin-
ues upon a safe and prosperous basis,
and throughout the state all classes
have lived well and usually saved
something. If the bank deposits NAV
be taken as an index of popular condi-
tions, the showing is superb. The last
call for u statement of the condition
of national and private banks re-
vealed deposits as follows:

AT the days of these calls the banks

Dairying continues to increase in
Importance and is destined to become
the leading industry of South Dakota.
The assessment for the present year
accounts for 541,734 cows, but this
figure is manifestly too small. The
assessment of 1900 gave 42O,766 cows,
but the federal census taken at the
same time gave 550,9S0, or 81 per cent
more cows than were returned to the
assessor. Applying the same ratio and
adding the 81 per cent to the assess
ment of this year, makes the total
number of COWS in the state 7O9, SOL.
The total value of the dairy product
is figured at Sc, 579, 923.76. Only about
one-half of the creameries reported to
the dairy commissioners out of 153.
These So report the payment to their
patrons net $1,294, SOB. 80.
Live stock continues to be by far
the most valuable industry of the
state. The census of 1900 placed the
value at $64,0 200. On the basis of
the assessment the increase since that
time has been &c per cent and the av-
erage price this year is II per cent
higher than in 1900. Mr.. Robinson
therefore places the investment in the
industry at this time at $%88,51O.0O0
and the product this year, from
growth, increased price and sales $751;
100000.

In coonn el MI. Robinson says:
"The year 1902 is the sixth in which
South Dakota has surprised all of the
other states in per capita production
of new wealth. It is a proud boast,
unquestionably supported by the act
ual productions and is a conclusive in
dication of the. opportunities open
to enterprising men here. South Da-
kota has large productive capacity,
not yet one-half developed, while it
has not but q, small population to
share in the product, hence the excep-
tional advantages"

AT the Opera House.

Nell Gwynne" gave the best of
satisfaction TO the admirers of the
SpOoner Dramatic Company at the
opera houge Saturday night, and
applause was generously bestowed
on the different members of the cast
for the clever work done. The play
is an exceptionally good one, but in
the hands of less talented people Its
beauty would be destroyed. 1t is
splendidly constructed and Miss
Allie Spooner was picture as Nell
Gwynne. She dress ed the part
magnifcently and looked the char
acter to life and her acting was fin
ished. Hers was a triumph and a
deserved one. Frank Dudley in
terpreted the role of King Charles III
in a most excellent manner. +. +.
Spooner was good in the roles of
Strings, the old fiddler, and Castor,
the proprietor of the Blue Boar Inn.
The other members of the company
gave Miss Spooner and Mr.. Dudley
splendid support in the presentation
of this play.

Business Expansion

In addition to the manufacture
and sale of ice the manager of the
WaXahachie Ice Works is arranging
to supply the people with coal next
winter. Immense coal bins will be
constructed at the ice plant along
side the Central switch in which "A
big supply of coal will be stored
this summer. The use Of oil as fuel
at the plant will also be discarded
and the burning of coal resumed
Mr.. w. d. Anderson, manager of
the plant, in speaking of the change,
said it was made because Of the un-
certainty OF securing oil when il
is needed. Oil is some cheaper for
fuel than coal but, the demand for
it exceeds the supply. The new i'm.
provements being made at the plant
will soon be completed and the
manufacture of ice commenced on
