STATE E0UALIZATInN

To raise sufficient revenue for the
maintenance Of the state government
and the payment Of the big appro-
priations made by the last legislature
for wagon roads In favored sections
and other gratis that will benefit a
few, the state board OF equalization
has found it necessary to materially
increase the assessed valuation.
The limit Of bond iudebtC d
ness was reached by The expenditures
Of the Legislature and now the state
board of equalization makes an In.
crease In the assessed valuation OF
property IN the state Of one and one
half million dollars; this too, ia the
face Of the fact that the assessment
as returned by county assessors
shows an increase of seven million
dollars during the year A portion
Of this increase Is due to the develop
ment Of the state, but there vas a
systematic effort 10 raise the assessed
valuation, in this county about thirty
per cent, aud in many cases iu
Occur 'AIene as high a. tso hundred
per cent. The state board Of equal
ization vas not satisfied with this
and made still another raise. aud All
unjust one If the figures given are
true. Patented lands ara Increased
from ten to twenty i've per cent. la
Kooteuai county the increase ia
twenty five per cent. It hits the
farmers aud timber land hard The
railroads, which government stats
tics show are paying on valuation
of but steven per cent OF their actual
value IN this state, we're raised by
the state board fraction over five
per cent. In other words, the
Kootenai county farmer has bad his
taxes raised twenty Eve per cent aud
the railroad has had raise Of I've
Der cent.

JAPAN rHE HoNoRED NATION.

In her more than magnanimous
surrender to the ultimatum OF the
Russians, Japan has demonstrated to
the world that she is In the first rank
as a civilized nation. Having com
pletely whipped the Russians on land
and sea, routed their armies and de-
stroyed their navy, she was in a posi-
tion to insist on an indemnity, and
the civilized world will grant her
the unqualified ownership Of Sakha-
lin island by right of conquest; yet
in the face of all this abe gives up
the indemnity and one half Of the
island for the sake OF humanity and
in the interest of a permanent peace
between herself and the big bully
nation whose diplomacy is based on
intrigue and deceit. First in war,
first in peace, first in the hearts OF
the world, Japan has set an example
that is worthy OF emulation by all
nations who love peace more than
war. She has taught Russia that she
cannot continue to play double aud
encrOaeh on the rights of weaker
nations, while proclaiming to the
world that such a policy is wrong
She has shown Russia that Manchuria
cannot be gradually absorbed by that
government while attempting to de-
cieye the world by declaring its in
tention to vacate that province.
Japanese arms are covered with glory,
she has won a great moral baltle in
the negotiations for peace, while
Russia has secured a diplomatic vic
tory which carries with it a few
million dollars saved and a portion
of an island viii she will never be
permitted 70 fortify. Baron Komura
and his government stand higher in
the estimation Of the world than
ever before, while Russia has lost
standing and the war has sounded
the death knell Of autocracy in the
empire. Ii has shown the Russian
people the weakness OF their govern
ment and opened their eyes to the
fact that they car secure just politi-
cal rights By demanding them.
The successful termination OF the
negotiations and the prominent part
played By President Roosevelt places
him at the head of the worlds states
men. He has shown his ability to
handle great international questions
with delicacy and so nicely that no
one is offended and results follow his
efforts. Peace on earth, good will
toward men. "

There is no doubt the Equitable
Life Insurance company is sound as
great bank, as stated by Thomas F.
Ryan. the New York financier who
recently obtained controlling
interest in the big company. But
that has nothing to do with the facts
that the institution has been managed
for the purpose OF making a few
men millionaries at the expense Of
the policy holders The Equitable
has been a means Of hIching millions
Of dollars from policy holders TO be
expended IN pension OF s25, 600 a
year TO the wife OF a deceased presi-
dent Of the company and smaller
pensions TO other persons who have
some relative In its service. Its
officers have all been overpaid and
spectators have become rich by the
use of its funds at a low rate OF
interest without ample security. In
fact the institution Is rotten to the
core and it is fortunate for the policy
holders that its management has
fallen into other hands.

The Wheat King Of North Dakota.

The following very interesting
sketch OF a we'll known Grand
Forks county citizen is from the
Portland, Ore, Evening Tele-
gram OF Friday last:
The title OF "Wheat King of
the United States is aptly ap-
piled to n. G. Larimore of North
Dakota, who is attending the
Trans Mississippi Commercial
Congress. for on his farms 3OO,-
900 bushels Of wheat is produced
annually, more wheat than is
raised on any one other farm in
the world. Though he doesn't
claim the title given him, Mr..
Larimore says he has $4,000
acres OF land in cultivation, and
the annual average yield Is from
IS to 20 bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Larimore went into the
wheat raising business in 1882.
Prior to that time he had been a
business man in St. Louis for
30 years, and incidentally Re
knew David R. Francis, presi-
dent of the St. Louis Exposition,
when the latter was a boy. Re-
alizing the possibilities Of the
wheatgrowing industry in Dako-
ia, he went into the business on
a large scale, breaking up new
prairie land and increasing the
size Of his farm as rapidly as

was sent in competition and this
scored perfectin color, grain and
sailing, but fell off in one parti-
cular, the flavor. The cream
was collected in a poor time of
the year-harvest time-and this
accounts for the flavor. AS it
was, the creamery ranked No. l
in the state. A twenty pound
tub of butter was also entered.

acres. AS a base of supply for
this large farm the village and
postottice Of La imore was es-
tablished. The nearest town Of
any size to the ranch is Grand
Forks.
Between $50 and 175 men are
employed on this great farm the
year round. TO work the place
Mr.. Larimore uses vast guam
tity of farming machinery. He
has 80 binders and six threshers
and a proportionate number of
plows and other farm equip
ments. He uses $50 mules all
the time. In blowing his men
start in on a plat six miles
square and make one round be-
fore lunch and another after
ward. In harvesting he has ma
chinery enough to cut 1000
acres a day if necessary.
All the grain Mr. Larimore
raises is spring wheat. 1t is
necessary to cut it a little green,
then shock it to let it dry, aud
thresh it later.
"During the worlds fair at Chi
cago in 1898" said MIR. Lari-
more today, call of the foreign
commissioners of the exposition

farming operations. They had
never seen farming on a large
