TAX BANK STOCK LESS.
Both Valuations and Assessments Are
Lowered.

Both Valuations and Assessments Are
Lowered.
Bank stock valuations were reduced
his year by the state board more than
half a million dollars from the returns
sent in by the counties on that class
Of property. They also are assessed
In the aggregate s133, 900 less for 1907
than they were assessed for the year
1906. From the returns made to the
state Aurora county citizens hold none
OF that class Of property, as no bank
stock was returned.
For a number of years 1t has been
an established custom to fix the valu-
atoms of bank stock at so per cent Of
Its par value, without regard to it's
selling value. This custom has become
so well understood that t~hirty-one out
OF fifty-two counties In the state made
their return at that figure this year.
For some reason the state board de-
cided upon a change in basis of as
sessment and took 40 per cent as the
base to work from, and this makes
the reduction from last year, with a
higher return from the counties. The
county returns showed a valuation on
such property at $2,8S0,S69; and the
work of the state board left it at 49,.
33S, $50.
The extremes Of the returns were
Aurora county with no bank stock,
and Buffalo county with a return at
100 per cent of its value.

LEASES GRAZING LAND.
Chicago Packer Secures 10000 Acres
and VIII Try New Experiment.

Chicago Packer Secures $4,000 Acres
and VIII Try New Experiment.
Great possibilities in the cattle ship
ping industry at Rapid City have been
opened up through the leasing by Mel
son Morris, the Chicago packer, Of
more than 100000 acres of grazing
land northeast Of here on the Stand
ing Rock Indian reservation. For
nearly ten years this land has been
controlled on a lease by the at" cat
tie outfit, whose bid for renewal was
4 fraction of a cent per acre less than
Of Morris.
Five years ago the "17" people fenced
the land, and for years have had sev-
eral large droves Of cattle on this
range, but with the coming OF Morris
this number is to be largely increased.
Morris owns much land in Texas, and
always has grazed his cattle here.
Since securing this lease in South Da-
kota he has moved 5000 of his cattle
here, and intends to bring in many
other herds as 500 as possible. This
Is the first instance where Morris ever
has fed any of his big cattle holdings
In the North, and the result will be of
considerable interest to cattlemen.
This tract that Morris has secured
Is n o fthe finest in the Northwest.
It is well watered and close to the
Evarts trail land is not accessible to
outsiders for grazing purposes, owing
to it's fencing. The lease is to run for
five years, and in case it is not re-
newed, the fencing, which is more
than 800 miles in length, will revert to
the Indians.

Cedar Falls, Iowa, Aug. 27.-An ex.
plosion in the rear Of George Sheever

started a blaze that caused damage
to the extent of $4,000. 1t was after
midnight before the fire was put un-
der control. Three buildings, togeth-
er with their stocks Of goo6s, were
practically destroyed. 1t is believed
that a quantity of dynamite kept in
stock was Jared, causing 1t to ex-
plode. Another theory is that escap-
ing gas was ignited, setting fire to the
building, thus causing the dynamite
to go off. The shock of the explosion
was felt for several miles, and hun.
dreds of windows were broken.
