enough county, city, town, school
and church property exempt to
swell the amount to more than TWEEN
ty-six million dollars.
The first auditor was T. w. Cas-
tor for part of year, succeeded
by Edward March, who each re-
ceived salary of $50 a year. and
vet they did not do as much for
their money as Auditor Tompkins,
who gets So, 500, and Clerk Everett,
who is paid 81, 200. When it is re-
membered that practically they have
to keep an open account with every
subdivision of land and village lot
and with every personal property
tax payer, it will be seen that their
place is not snap by any means.
The first clerk was Judge Evans,
appointed March 1st, 1885, at a sal
airy OF 1921 per month.
The number OF personal property
tax payers is indicated by the ex-
emptions, which number 2,294, the
total amount being 1929, 400.
The growth of the county in pop
ulation and wealth has been rela-
lively at a high percentage of in
crease, and while the ratio in the
future will be smaller, it is pretty
certain that there will be a steady
and prosperous Improvement in the
future. O. B. TURRELL

HOW WE GROW.
Redwood County Five-fOld Richer Than

To THE EDITOR: An examination
Of the annual report of the auditor,
which appeared in your last num-
Der, is both interesting and in
structive. The statement shows
the condition of the peoples bust

some small idea of the importance
of the office, and the amountof cleri-
cal labor involved
A peculiar interest in the report
is as an index to the growth of the

For 1902 the valuation of land, in
Guiding structures, is $14 per acre,
and city and village property is at
quite as low a figure. The best
judges estimate the assessment at
30 or 40 per cent of the actual cash
value, and assuming the highest
figures, 40 per cent, on the real
and personal property, gives a
grand total of $25, 66o, $50, with

NeuIiqent Coal Contractor.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Feb. 1S.-Owing to
the scarcity OF coal at the four courts
which contains the jill. police head
quarters, criminal courts, etc. the
building was closed today. Not a
pound of coal could be found in the
engine room and old floors are being
torn up to keep the $50 prisoners
warm. This fuel will be exhausted by
night. The grand jury investigation
of the turf investment companies was
suspended and the two branches of
the criminal court and the court OF
criminal correction adjourned for the
day. This condition of affairs is the
result of negligence on the part Of
contractor who failed to deliver coal
already contracted for. Other city in
stitutions are also short of fuel and
an investigation will be held to ascer-
tain who is to blame and compel full
fillment of contracts in the future

GAS AND OIL.
Ration Enterprise Has Been Reward
ed-Good Gas at 700 Feet.

From the Ration Range.
Ration has been in fever of excite
ment during the past few days oyel
the strike of oil and gas in the well O.
the New Mexico Oil and Gas company
on the McKowan ranch near this city
city.
The strike was made in stratum
of black sandstone about twenty-five
feet in thickness.
Last Monday evening the gas in the
well became ignited from hot drill
which had just been sharpened and
was being lowered into the well, and
flame leaped from the mouth of the
well almost to the full height of the
derrick, but was extinguished before
any damage was done. About the
time of this accidental demonstration
of the gas pressure in the well a large
flow of water was encountered which
had raised to within Is feet of the
surface. Notwithstanding the fact
that more than 600 feet of water stand
strong that it will. when lighted, give
a continuous flame several feet in
height.
Mr.. W. p Chaffee, the contractor
who is sinking the well for the COM
pany, was in the city Tuesday to con-
fer with Secretary Majors and other
members of the company and return

led by T. H. Parsons Mr. Parsons
went to see with his own eyes, the

Mr.. Chaffee was interviewed yes
terday by the Range He stated that
he had been engaged for many years
in drilling oil wells in the east and
west, and never before in his exper-
ience saw more promising well at
this depth than the one he is now
drilling near Ration. "One of the
gentlemen associated with me in the
work heres'' said he was one of the
drillers who put down Otero No. /
well at Boulder, and he says that well
did not show up any better than this
one before a shot was put in, devel-
oping an 80-barrel we'll" Mr.. Chaffe
stated that quarter of an inch OF

was also seen by the Range.

of the greatest oil reducing districts
in the world. The gas comes from

t will blow ones hat off. 1t was ig-
nited for my benefit by Mr.. Chaffee.
