The Western Union Telegraph COM
panY was assessed at 800 per mile,
and the 500 line at $40, the same as
last year. The express companies
were raised from Sl56, 154 last year
to S196,9l6. The Fargo and Moorhead
Street railway was assessed at S21, 300
or 50 900 per mile. The Grand Forks
line was fixed at S3,375 or 81. 500 per
mile.
The assessment Of town lots and
farm lands and structures thereon in
the several counties shows large in
creases in most of the counties, thir-
teen showing an increase of from to
so per cent on town lots, 27 counties
from S to IS per cent on farm lands,
Stutsman county being increased 10
per cent, 13 an increase from to 60
per cent on structures on lots and q
an increase of from 5 to 100 per cent
on structures on farm lands, this lat
ter being very striking evidence of
the farmers prosperity. No change
from last year was made in Nelson
and Steele counties, and the return
from Williams county has not been
received.
The total assessment for real es-
tate in the state foots up so far as
equalized to S124.477,2l8. Williams
county will add about $500, 900 to this
sum totalling about S204, 900, 900.
AS the result of the work of the
state board of equalization the main
lines of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific were raised from
81 500 to $4,000. per. mile. The main
line Of the 500 was raised from $4,000
to S8. 900 and the branch lines OF the
500 were raised to $4,000. being $500
above the assessment of last year.
The Farmers Railway, which runs
from Devils Lake to Starkweather.
was raised from 81, 500 to SO. 500. All
other lines of railway in the state
were equalized at the same figures as
last year.
On this basis they will pay into the
different counties, school districts,
cities and the state about $3.50, 900
additional in the way of taxes, as a
result of the boards action.
1t might be interesting to note that
during the past year 5l3 miles of
branch lines have been built in the
state and SO miles of side track.
The 500 built 2So.miles of new..line
in this state that for the frst.time
goes on the assessment roll. The as
sessed value of this property is sl,-
$40, 1000. The Northern Pacific and
Great Northern lines have built far
less new line than the 500, and their
arbitrary increases are larger, because
the proportion Of increase was the
same and they have larger mileage.
The farm LANDS of the state were
raised SO, ooo, 200 over 1905.
The following schedule shows the
increase taxed up to each county in
the state:

OF the Chippewa Indians on the Grand
Portage reservation are on the verge
OF starvation. They expected the Gus
tomary allowance Of flour and pork
from the government, but did not get
1t. The following appeal, written by
their understanding Of their relations
to the government, has been sent to the
agent at Ashland, Wis:
To Major S. w. Campbell United States In
dian Agent, Ashland, Wis.-Dear Sir: When you
were here in October you told US that there
would be no flour and pork sent to us this year
because it had not been furnished to you from
the United States commissioner of Indian af-
fairs. We now ask you to make another effort
and try again In our behalf to get the commits
s1oner to send some pork and -four, for we need
it very bad this winter. You are the mouth
by which We can talk to the government.
VIII you please tell the honorable commission
er for US that there are many old and sick In
dams who we are afraid will starve to death II
they do not ges some provisions. The rabbits
are nearly all gone in the woods; we are not
allowed to kill any deer or moose and we cant
catch any fish to live on The snow is so deep
That we can't get our timber out to sell and
we are told that can't sell any Of our pine
this winter. We don't know how we are going
to live. -. - -"
Does the government want us to die? We
cannot understand why we cannot sell our nine
ana we cannot understand why we cannot have
some PORK and -four for old and sick broth
efs. God put us on earth to live and he gave
US the moose deer and fish to use in MAKING
our living He gave us the moose and deer to
eat and the hides to make moccasins to use AM,
70 sell to make living for our children. God
also gave US the forest and all the timber to
sell and make living for our children
we Know that In 1S47 we sold all the nine
outside of the reservation, but we thought we
KEPT some OF the pine. that which was on our
alotment, that we could use. When we signed
t tne treaty In 1889 we were promised by Bishon
Nlartin Marty and Joseph B. Whiting that the
government would provide for us as long as we
llVeo, and we thought they told the truth. We
would not have signed the treaty if we had
known how it would be now ~
