State Board Of Equalization.

Bismarck Tribune: The state
board of equalization meets next
Tuesday and will be in session for
probably ten days. The board con-
sists of the governor, state auditor,
attorney general, state treasurer and
commissioner Of agriculture and labor.
Thaswofk Of this board is Important,
inasmuch as upon its equalization Of
property depend the revenues of the
state for the ensuing year. Then,
too, the board assesses railroad prop
erty and telephone, telegraph, ex-
press companies and similar utili-
ties out right. 1t is likely that this
year will see considerable natural
increase in the assessed valuation of
property, the total being estimated
by some authorities as in the neigh
orhood of $3.50, ,O00,0 There has
been a considerable increase In the
settlement of the state. new land has
been enrolled for taxation, land val
ues everywhere have advanced and
the railroads have built and are
building many extensions. It is un-
likely there will be any radical
changes in the valuation of property,
but the ordinary equalization of
property will require considerable
time and careful attention.

Telephone Activity.

Jamestown is not tine only point
where telephone construction work
is seen. At LaMoure The Dakota
Central is shipping in several car
loads of poles, and will build a thru
line from LaMou1e to Edgeley (tak-

thru line from LaMoure to Cakes.
At the same time the Northwestern
will begin the construction OF a
thru line from LaMoure to Fargo.
These thru lines are mace necessary
from fact tnat local-service lines are
unable.to take care of the business.
They are nearly always "busy,"
involving not only much annoyance
and delay.to patrons, but necessitat-
ing the cancellation of profitable
BUSINESS. The new lines will relieve
the pressure and greatly expedite

Hay and Crop Notes.

Haying is going on all over the
county and great rows of good hay
are being moved on the prairies.
Much more hay in many parts of the
county is..now being put up from the
upland than from the sioughs, when
formerly before the prairie fires
were stopped, all hay was from the
sloughs. This is good haying
weather, cool and bright and farm
ers are making hay while the sun
shines.
Steele Ozone: In ordinary years in
the Northwest the straw of grain Of
ten gets ripe and brittle as soon as
the head is..ripe. Rye especially has
the fault of being slow about filling
up7hard, SO that it is customary to
leave the grain stand until it is dead
ripe, in order to prevent shrinkage.
This year, however, the soil has been
moist all the time, and the straw is
green yet.even after the heads have
begun to turn. For this reason we
believe twill be:".advisable to cut
rye earlier than usual, that is at an
earlier state in its ripening, since
with the straw still holding a good
deal. of sap there. will be enough. force
in the heavy straw to keep the head
filling out during.th stage immedi-
ately succeeding cutting, when there
is usually shrinkage.

ABOUT OPTICS
Some Remarkable Results In Eye
Trestmeat Affectiao Other Dis
eases.

Before the con vention OF the Amer
ican association Of opticians in
Minneapolis last week DR.. Chalmers
Prentice of Chicago gave an interest
ing clinic on higher optics, and..altho
to some etxent outside the field. Of
the optician, proved very profitable
and remarkable in showing results
and possibilities obtainable by lenses.
The speaker showed by chart how
one-third OF the human brain il de-
voted to the visional Function and
how eyestrain caused by refractive
errors Of the eye will produce pres
sure on other parts Of the brain that
effect for instance the hearing. A
man % years old, deaf in one ear was
brought in. He said that BY press
ing a loud ticking alarm clock
against his ear and covering his good
ear he could not hear a sound. a
combination Of lenses vas placed be-
fore bis eJ O. and In fifteen minutes he
could hear ordinary conversations
with this ear alone. Remarkable re-
suit was obtained with two stammer-
ing young men, one of them was so
badly affected that it seemed by all
bis will power he could not speak a
word. After using peculiarly COM
pounded lenses a few minutes they
we're both able to read aloud and
one could notice how they improved.
After half hour, President Holmes,
astonished at the result remarked
that these..yoong men conld now read
as plain as ..he.ever could-Dr.:. Prem
tice interrupted by: saying that "this
not signify much" which remark
brought..t the speaker to the floor amid
The doctor relates how he was
called in consultation in a case of
the. patient being at high
pulse and feverish heat and rapidly
wasting away-how he by lenses only
checked he.irritation of the brain
ard in two hours time the'.patient's
pulse was 80, temperature normal
and recovery rapid.

may be had but for lack Of clinic

ally given..-A. G. TeIlner.

4 Sad Death.

Saturday morning last J. A. Hill,
a brother Of Mrs. Lyman and Mrs. In
graham arrived at Jamestown, &C.
companied by his wife and two chill
dren on their way from Portland,
Oregon, to their home in Lafayette,
Indiana. The children were boz,
Kennith aged four years and girl of
ten. On the "trip from Portland the
train was delayed by wreck and the
passengers kept at the small station
called Big Horn near Billings. for
some thirty-six hours. In the same
sleeper with Mr.. Hill and his family
we're two small children, one of
whom developed on the train case
of dyphteria. The young son of Mr..
Hill who was we'll at the beginning
of the trip, evidently caught the in
fection and in spite of every obtain
able precauti0n tine disease reached
such an advanced stage that Sunday
morning after their arrival in ia es-
town the death of the boy occurred.
The family went to the residence of
G. e. Lyman Saturday and sum-
moned medical attendance at once.
rhe house was put under quarantine
and the visitors, together with Mrs.
Barry Ingraham were placed under
quarantine restrictions which will
probably be continued until next
Thursday or Friday of Jhis week.
The. body of little Kennith was in
closed in a hermetically sealed casket
and 9ill be taken to LAFAYETTE as
soon as the proper permission from
the local health officials Is secured.
Mr.. Hill states that he repeatedly
urged the railroad officials to send bis
family to a nearby station where
medical attention could be had, as
Big Horn station was simply a small
siding with no resident physician.
There were two company physicians
at different times on the delayed
train but neither had their medicines
with them or proper means for treat
ing cases Of that nature and, both
of them at one tine pronounced the
trouble TO be tonsilitis. At Forsyth,
Mont, a physician pronounced the
case Of the other child as diphtheria.
The fate Of the other child suffering
with the disease is not known as the
car containing the family went east
under the quarantine restr lotions to-
gther with another car also under
quarantine. Tho cAse is q md one,

is extended to the family.
Class Rouniom,

Monday night at the college there
occurred the first reunion of the
jamestown High School Glass of 1904.
Every member out Of a class OF tif-
teen was present, an occurrence
which but few classes. can boast.'of
after more than a year has passed
since leaving school,. The principal
game of the evening vas charades
and proved to be very entertaining.
Teachers of the "young idea, - "mas-
ters of the winged art" clerks, book
keepers, and one lone fair haired,
would be doctor, could. not with their
combined knowledge guess the little
word "buttinksy'. This being
proof to the hostess that the thinking
faculties of her guests Especially the
gentlemen) must be growing weak
from the lack Of nourishment, she
kindly provided them all with fine
repast. After pa1takjng of the same
all were much revived and Wed with
each other In relating the expert
ences OF the past year. and they
proved that the time had not been
idly spent, since they last met. So
much. was the reunion enjoyed by all
that another one was talked of four
years hence, and while it is hoped
that they may all meet it is feared
by some that all names may not be
the same. At the close the class yell
was given in a dramatic and thrilling
manner and each gracefully descended
the hill and quietly strolled home
ward, thinking of the future.

acres of excellent lands In Northern
Minnesota where the timber has been

and which are obtainable at very low
prices. There appears to have been
no systematic effort toward securing
immigration 10 Minnesota and the
result is that settlers have gone and
ssre going farther north into Canada
trying. to make homes on lands not
nearly as we'll adapted to their pur-
poses as those they are passing by In
Minnesota. An excellent move to
cure this condition of affairs would
be the establishment of a state immi-

northern Minnesota lan3s is so diverse
that it would be difficult ii not i'm

securing them should be borne by
