The Boone County Assessors
Instructed to Assess Prop

WILL ADD TO THE REVENUE
Valuable Mineral Rights That Have Not
Been Taxed in Former Years Will
Hereafter Be Subject to Taxation
Decline in Manufacture of oIeoMar-
aarine.
,ecial to Tin.es-Republican.

Special to Republican.
Boone, Jan. 2S.-A unique finding was
given out by County Attorney II. u.
Canoe at the court house, today, which
involves taxation on valuable property
that has hitherto escaped the eagle eye
of the assessor. 1t is a well known fact
that there is much real estate owned
near the river bed along the valleys of
Boone county creeks, to which the own
err holds title only to the surface utili-
ties of the land. The mineral rights,
which, is the case of Boone county
land, comprises mostly coal royalties,
are retained by the original owner. AT
the recent meeting of the assessors of
the county the question was raised as
to who should pay the taxes on the
vested rights represented by the coal
privileges. Clearly not the owner of
the land, for he had no right to the
coal. The assessors and County Aud
itor Archie Patterson discussed the
question at some length and We're I'M
able to arrive at a conclusion as to the
legality of taxing the owners of the
mineral rights, SO the county attorney
was called in. This meeting was held
on the 10th inst, and since that time
the county attorney has looked up the
question thoroughly, with the result
that he is sending out instructions to all
Of the assessors to levy taxes on the
mineral rights
1t is not known here whether this is
the custom in other counties, but it is
not within the memory of the Oldest in
habitant when this stand was ever ta-
ken before. The added values to the
levy will result in the collection OF a
large sum, as the coal rights In Boone
county have been reserved to the or
iginal owners in a great many cases.
Just how far reaching this order will
be does not yet appear, as it is a diff
cult matter to determine every case
where the mineral rights have been re-
served.
The underground values will be treat
ed as real estate. That is, the asses
sors will try to arrive at the actual
value of the mineral rights and will tax
at one-fourtfl. Should the taxes not be
paid the rights will go to the treasur-
er's delinquent sale by the same pro-
cedure as real estate. The results oil
this new ruling will be watched with
interest.

IOWA CROP STATISTICS.
Figures From the Official Report Arc
Not Bad Readino.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The official
crop statistics for the year 1902 show
that as an agricultural state only one
state, Illinois, stands ahead of Iowa
in the list of all the states and terri
tories In the union. In corn, Iowa comes
very near being the banner state. The
following are the leading states, with
their acreage of corn, yield per acre,
total production, price per bushel and
total value:
Illinois, 9.623.6so. 1871, 372,436.41e. sec,
$134,077, ITO.
Iowa e,so2.sss. 800, 2s7,es6,o9e, ssc.
$9S,23S,3S5.
7 Nebraska 7,S17,962. 1903. 252.520. 1853,
3Oc, s75,756,072.
Kansas 7.451,6ss. 300. 222,sO5.6s1, SAC,
IS75,753,911.
Missouri e,775,1s5, 500. 2s4.2s2, COS.
33c SS7,196,760.
These seem to be the great corn pro-
ducing states while most of the others
produce some down to Nevada, which
is credited with no corn at all. Ari-
zona's corn brought the highest price,
$1.O1 per bushel.
With her oats, Iowa comes even
closer to heading the list and is only
prevented by Illinois excess of acres.
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Min
nesota are the four great oats states
and their acreage, yield per acre, pro-
duction, price per bushel and total
value are given as follows:
Illinois, 4,O7O,303. 37.7, 15S,450,42s.
2Sc, $42,966,11S.
Iowa, 4,oss,1ss. so.7. 124,7ss,ss7, csc,

Minnesota, 2,1os,22s, $50, s2,25sss7,
27c, $22.21o,11s.
In the production Of barley. Iowa is
exceeded only by Minnesota. MINES
ota in 1902 had in cultivation for 9O7.-
561 acres of barley. Iowa 513,499, North
Dakota 5O1,94S and Wisconsin 42S.2SS
acres. Iowa also shows UP pretty well
with her hay crop. New York is the
great hay state and in 1902 she raised
H6,71S,743 tons. Iowa is a comparative
ly close second with 5,211,232 tons and
next comes Illinois over million tons
behind, with total of 4,121,054. The
best thing about New York's big crop
was that the price per ton was $10.63,
while the price in Iowa is given as only
$3.50.

ALL ON THE BAND WAGON.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
Rep.
Senator Hanna, with really marvellous
agility, considering his years and his
rheumatic affections, stepped to his seat
on the Roosevelt band-wagon yesterday,
side by side with Senator Foraker and
Immediately behind Senators Platt and
Quay remarlxing as he settled into his
place that he was uncommonly glad to
join the company, and should have done
so before had he known that the band
was about to begin to play and the pro-
cession to move.
The seats on the band wagon are now
all filled, and the company is cheerful
and smiling one as the wheels begin to
go round. There are several persons who
would like to be passengers scurrying for
places on the tail-board. and there is like

for eligible points from which to hitch on.
Behind shrubbery and lying In gulleys
along the line of march there are discern
ible a few sour-visaged persons with mud
balls and squirt-guns in their hands who
are threatening various kinds of disaster
to the wagon and are saying to one
another: "You just wait! Well upset the
thing yetl' But they have little faith in
their own predictions. and will be ex-
tremely careful about getting themselves
In front of the vehicle
