Deed of a Little Heroine.

A passenger train from Souris pulled
out of Larimore ten minutes late and
running at high speed turned a sharp
curve over high trestle upon which
a seven-year-old girl with her two
brothers, five and six years, were play
ing, surprising them before they
realized their danger. With great
presence Of mind the girl got hor two
brothers off safely. but not having
time to reach the ground she swung
from the ties, forty feet above the
ground. The train came to a stop
about sixty yards beyond her and Con-
ductor Reed ran back and lifted the
girl from her perilous position. She
was in such a weakened condition that
she could not stand. The names Of
the children were not learned.

ITEMS OF A WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
state Board Of Equalization Adlourns
After Completing Il. Work on
the Property Of the Com.


The state board Of equalization has
adjourned after completing the equal
ization OF the real and personal prop.
erty of the state. The total valuation
of all property as eQualized Is approx
imately $l47,O00,0O0, which is an in
crease Of $14.00O,0O0 over last year.
The tax levied by the state board
will be 3 $40 mills for general pur-
poses. which will give an annual in
come of about $56O,000. The tax for
wolf bounty Is 2-1O mills, or about
81, 1000 annually. Educational insti-
buttons will receive / mill. or $147. 900
annually. This will give ample funds
for the maintenance Of state educa-
tional institutions.
There is at present about $1S0.OO0
in the general fund of the state which
will pay all running expenses until
December, when taxes for this year
will come in. The state is in the best
financial condition for many years and
will probably have a surplus at the
end of the biennial period.
State Superintendent Stockwell
thinks the educational institutions of
the state will be able to tide over the
present conditions, Notwithstanding
the failure of the bonding schemes.
The principal distress is in the Valley
City normal, and scheme is being
advanced to obtain money from local
capitalists.
The income of the institution is
about $4,000 annually, and the trus-
tees will be able to put aside $4,000 a
year. which may be applied to dis
charging any advance of money for
buildings. No bonds can be issued,
and the trustees certificates of indebt-
edness will be the only evidences of
the debt that can be uttered.
State Treasurer Mcmillan stated
that he saw no relief for the necessi-
ties of the state educational institu-
lions except by an increase of the debt
limit of the state, which would per.
| init the issuance of state bonds for
| the different educational institutions.
At the present time the debt lim!'
Is only 100000. If this were increas
ed to 81, 100000 it would be less than
| / per cent on the total assessed valua
| ton of the state. The debt limit OF
cities and counties through the state
| is 5 per cent on the assessed valuation
while the state debt limit Is only one
seventh of per cent
Some action may be taken by the
| administration to relieve the pressing
necessities at the different institu
tions. but what that will be will prob
ably depend upon the decision reache
by a conference of the officials in ques
ton.
