Land Equalization.

Some of the newspapers in the state
have taken occasion to indirectly criti-
else the state board of equalization for
raising land values on the returns made
by the county boards, claiming that in
some instances lands were boosted 200
per cent. This criticism is unjust and
probably great deal of it is made with
out an examination of the records or a
comparison OF the assessed valuation by
counties for 1905 with the year 1906. If
this comparison is made it will be found
that in no instance was the increase in
any one county greater than 100 Fer
cent over 1905 and that was in Hettinger
county. where they only pay state tax
which does not amount to much more
than three dollars on every thousand
acres With this one exception no raise
greater than 33H per cent was made in
any other of the unorganized counties.
In the organized counties the highest per
cent raise was made in Sargent county,
which amounted to I3 per cent. A very
trlfil!ng percentage. Take the case Of
Stark, where a raise of s. per cent was
made. This percentage looked large to
the reader, but when it is understood
that Stark was equalized at SI.68 per
acre in 1905 and the county board re-
turned it this year at S1.oI the reason for
an IS per cent increase is readily under
stood. In the unorganized county of
Hettinger previously referred to, there
was raise of 200 per cent. These fig
ures look alarming, but in 1905 the board
equallzed it at IS cents per acre and
since that date land in Hettinger county
has advanced from 200 to 900 per cent
in selling value. This year the county
board returned these lands at 20 cents
an acre or IS cents per acre less than in
1905. Was there any justice in such a
return? Certainly not in view of the
rapid increase in real estate values in
that county. When the state board
added one dollar an acre to the land,
200 per cent looked like large amount,
but in reality was small sum when
added to the 50 cents and only made it
SI.5o per acre. AS matter of fact the
greatest amount the state ever received
from all these unorganized counties in
any one year was s3,4o7.62 and their ex-
pense to the state has been a greater sum
than that, So it will be readily seen that
even this raise is a mere bagatelle to the
taxpayers in the unorganized counties

For the Public Good.

An independent and ably edited
newspaper which commands a great
circulation is probably the most potent
influence for good in the United States
today. The power for the better things
in public affairs and policies, for in.
stance, which is welded by such a
newspaper as the Chicago Record
Herald can scarcely be exaggerated,
and much OF that strength comes in the
case Of this leading Chicago daily from
the fact that it is absolutely indepen-
dent, fearless and fair. 1t is not the
mouthpiece of any interest except that
of the public. The Record Herald
champions the cause of the good, the
clean, the beneficial in every matter of
city, state or national moment. It is the
knowledge on the part of its readers
that it cares not whom it hits or what
enemies it makes, so long as it is battl-
ing for the welfare of the community,
which gives to The Record H Herald
much of the influence it enjoys. 1t
gives in its news columns the most COM
plete and impartial reports of political
events, another evidence of its splendid
service.

State Lost Money,

The Hughes Electric Light company
has leased the states electric car line
from Bismarck to the capital for two
years and will run it upon a continuous
service, thus shortening the presen,
running time over one-half. The rental
is understood to be but nominal as the
state is glad to be rid of the octopus, the
line having been a heavy loser. 1t is
estimated that the lease will make d
saving Of nearly $4,000 a year to tn.

probably again furnish the light for the
capitol building. 1t can do it much
cheaper than the state can with its own

MERCHANTS NATIONAL BANK
Opens Its Doors for Business in Dickinson Septem-
ber a. Directory Composed Entirely Of Local
Business Men. Banking House Finest in Place
and Would be Credit to Any City,

Tuesday morning, September 4, the
Merchants National bank of Dickinson
will open its doors to the public for busi-
ness. A public reception will be given
in the afternoon of the previous day from
2 to o'clock, at which time all persons,
ladies as we'll as men, are invited to call
and inspect the new banking house.
The vaults and the triple time lock safe
will be thrown open and the visitors
given chance to see everything on the
inside of modern national bank.
Dickinson has always been a good
banking town and there is every reason
to believe that the third institution will
do good business.
The bank is capitalized at $4,000,
fully paid in, and every dollar of the
stock is owned by Dickinson parties.
No one man, or three or four men, own
controlling interest in the Merchants
National bank. Hence, if the president
or any one or two of the directors should
remove from the city the policy of the
bank would not necessarily be changed.
While the directors have been unable
to meet the desires of many people in
the distribution Of capital stock, it has
been gratifying to them to know that
there was demand for many times the
amount authorized.
The organizers of the Merchants Ma
tional bank, with one exception, are the
parties whose names appear in the
directory. They are all men owning
homes in Dickinson, most of whom
started in business in the city when it
was a mere hamlet. The standing of
each is therefore we'll known to the
PRESS readers,
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
The officers and directors of the Mer-
chants National bank are:
John F. Davis, president.
Welton Mcdonald, vice president.
John L. Hughes, cashier.
Directors:

George Senour.

TOO MANY MOUNTAIN LIONS
Government Engages Hunters to Rid the National Park
Of Its Pest.

government will not have to pay large
bounty to the Golf brothers. The hunt
ers viii receive bounty Of SIS on each
mountain lion they kill in addition to
salary Of $75 month each for their
work. Most Of the work will be done
between the spring and fall, for the
winters are very severe in Yellowstone
park, the climatic conditions being most
arctic, owing to the moisture generated
by the many geysers. The work will
be done Systematically and there is no
one else in the country equipped to
carry on the business of exterminating
cougars in such wholesale fashion.
The Golf brothers have the largest
and finest pack Of cougar hounds in
the world. A good cougar hound costs
$s5 to 800 as puppy, but this is
mere bagatelle in comparison with the
work of training the hounds. The ami
mails have to be trained constantly in
the work Of trailing and freeing cougars
and in learning how to close with them
when they have been brought to the
ground desperately wounded. And then,
after months of training, dog may de-
velop eyellow streak and prove ut
terly worthless for cougar work.
For some reason the mountain lion
prefers the flesh of colt to that Of any
other animal and cougars have become
the terror Of horse raisers in the Rocky
mountain states.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-03-04

Mountain lions have increased 80
rapidly in Yellowstone park Of late that
they threaten the extinction Of deer,
elk and other wild animals that live in
this great government game preserve.
SO numerous have the cougars become
that the government, thru President
Roosevelt g recommendation, has given
John and Homer Golf, celebrated guides
and hunters at Meekin, Col, a contract
to clear the lions out Of Yellowstone
park. Golf and his brothers will have
several assistants, all celebrated lion
hunters, and, with his great pack OF
cougar hunting dogs, will make thoro
business Of Kidding Yellowstone park of
it's pest.
The work Of hunting lions in Yellow
stone park, will, it is estimated, take
several seasons and in the meantime
there is demand for lion hunters in
Colorado, Wyoming and other cattle
states, where stockmen are suffering
great losses from these predatory ami
mails. Cougars are said to be on the
increase in the Rocky mountains and
unless something is done to stop their
ravages they will not only make way
with much Of the wild game, but will
ipflict incalculable damage ON the live
stock industry.
