"Iowa, Nebraska. Illinois, Indiana
and Minnesota will all feel the exc
dus of farmers to the new lands be-
ing opened in South Dakota" re-
marked Captain j. f. Merry of Man
chester, Iowa, immigration agent of
the Illinois Central road.
"lowa has just completed acensus,"
continued Mr.. Merry, (which, to the
surprise of most people, shows that
most counties have lost ia population.
Many good farm houses are empty,
the land in Iowa has been rented or
sold to those who wish to hold it,
and the farmer and bis family Of
Hawkeye born children has moved
to the Dakotas to get the new land.
Farmers were never shifting to such

THE state board of assessment and
equalization completed it's labors
Saturday says State Auditor Halla-
day in his last issue of the Chief.
The wisdom of enacting the law
that brought the county auditors in
session with the state board in March
for consultation and instruction was
manifest when the returns from the
counties we're examined. Many of
the counties returned all classes of
property at practically the figures
agreed upon at the March meeting.
Some Of the counties were as lame
as ever in listing the property under
certain schedule and some Of these
counties will probably feel the effect
of another new law that gives the
state board power to dig up prop
erty where it has been allowed to
escape aud place it on the assess
ment rolls. According to the return
a few counties do not contain a dol
lars worth of silver or gold plate,
moneys OF credits nor a single watch.
Farm lands we're left nearly the same
a. last year a reduction of rs cents
per acre on an average. Telephone
property was raised from S345,000
to S6l8,000, corporate property,
including railroads, express com
panies, telegraph companies, and
telephones were increased S760,000
over the valuations of last year.
The total valuations, including new
property, will show an increase over
last year of about SS,0O0,O00.

WOLF TRACK VS.. DOG TRACK.
There Is Little Whereby to Distin.
uuis7 the Difference.


1t is well at this time to compare
the track of the dog with that of the
wolf, especially since the reintroduc-
ton Of wolf hunting as a popular
sport in the north of England.
have made dozens of drawings, casts,
prints, photographs and studies of
wolf and dog tracks, and have not
found a single reliable feature that
will distinguish them, writes Ernest
Thompson Seton in Country Life in
America. One hunter says the wolf
has the relatively small outer toes.
Yes, sometimes, but not when COM
pared with the collie. Another says
tina the ' # foot is longer, but not
when compared with that of a gray
hound, staghound or lurcher. Another
declares that the VOLTS foot is larger,
yet it will not rank in size with that
of a st. Bernard or a Great Dane.
The wolf lifts his feet neatly without
dragging his toes, but SO do many
dogs, especially country dogs. Thus
all these diagnostics fail.
On the whole, a wolf is a better
walker than a dog, his tracks do us
ually register, but not always, and in
some wolves rarely.

the railroad and real estate men.
Farmers are not leaving the state
Of Iowa because there is anything
wrong, but they have caught the
fevor and, being able to sell their
valuable Iowa land at big prices to
their naighbors, they are pushing
into South Dakota, where they eat
buy more acreage for the same
amount Of money.
"While the people of Iowa are go
ing largely to the Dakotas to take
new lands, there are many vacant
places in South Dakota, where the
farmers have been induced to 60 to
Canada by the land agents, who seek
the new settlers and offer them every
inducement to cross the internation-
al line and go on northward.
"Already South and North Dakota
are said to be feeling the effect of
the movement towards Canada, just
as keeply as Iowa is feeling the move
ment towards the northwest. 1t is
feared hat unless Iowa farmers can
be induced to take up the rich new
lands Of South Dakota, the wheat
production next year will be greatly
decreased by the exodus to Canada.
sit is this movement onward to
Canada, as we'll as the opening of
new lands, which is causing South
Dakota to hunt for settlers. The
great wheat prairies of the Dakota
are appealing to the farmers of Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana and the Missis 9ippi
valley, just as the Canadian fields
appeal to the farmers Of the DA-
kotas.
"But of all the states which are
being depopulated by the shifting
farmers, Iowa is suffering the most.
Bankers and business men say they
are positive that the farming districts
of the richest agricultural state in
the union are retrograding. Within
the past few months a good deal of
Investigation has been done and the
fact is clear that a good many agri.
cultural counties are decreasing in
population. The movement to the
Dakotas and Canada has drawn more
people from Iowa than from any two
states in the union.
