State Board Leaves Figures

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2.-The as
SCISSORS through the state and the mem
bers of the county boards of equali-
zation, do not seem to have taken
kindly to the arguments in favor of
returning property at its true value
and the figures of the assessment of
real estate would Indicate that the
average basis of value for taxation is
not more than 20 to 25 per cent. Some
figures obtained from those considered
land experts in the various counties
would indicate that the proportion of
the assessed to the real value is even
less than that. The following table
shows the figures of assessed value Of
land in the several counties as left by
the state board of equalization last year,
and as returned by the county boards
of equalization this year:

These figures show that the county
boards of equalization in the majority
of cases have taken the figures of the
last state board of equalization as the
basis for their return this year. If the
state board were inclined to boost all
real property to its real value it would
mean the fixing of values from SIS to
$50 an acre in the various counties of
the state, and the total assessed valua-
tion would go to nearer $1,000, ,OOO, 900
than the present figures of about
$20o. .000,oo This valuation would
raise total tax of s1G0O,O for the
educational institutions of the state
alone, a sum unnecessary and more
than the institutions could fairly use.
Until tax laws are amended, it is prob
able there will be no radical change in
methods or figures of assessment.

Pop Corn Industry.

1t is not generally known, says the
Rockford Register, that nearly half of
the pop corn consumed in the United
States is raised in Sac county, Iowa
Owing to the fact that the soil in
that county is particularly adapted
to its cultivation, pop corn is raised
with great profit to the Sac county
farmer. OF recent years pop corn
raising has become great industry.
Every spring agents of Chicago and
New York firms invade the pop corn
belt and contract with the raiser to
take his entire crop. For several
years the average price paid has been
eighty cents per 100 pounds, and the
raiser realizes a great profit 1t is
said that the total yield of Sac and
Ida counties. which compose the pop
corn belt, will reach $4,000, 600
pounds, and if it were all popped be-
fore being shipped it would require
2,C00. train loads of twenty cars each
to hold it.

Dell Huckins, an unmarried man
and lifelong resident of Howard
county. was found dead beside the
road about Ave miles south of
Cresco, Wednesday morning He was
hauling eggs for local merchant, and
his seat ON the wagon was located
upon double box. The indications
are that his team swerved to one side
was driven off the bridge, throwing
Huckins to the ground and breaking
his neck. Foul play is not suspected,
and all the indications point to the
above conclusion. He is said to have
been intoxicated at the time.

Wild Water Meters.

The city of Oelwein has been ex-
perimenting with water meters, and
to say that the instruments are fear
fully and wonderfully made is put
ting it mildly. Water meters were
placed in three residences at the same
time. The families use about the
same amount of water. and still when
an inspector reads the meters they
showed that one family owed the
city, for water consumed, exactly
four cents; the second consumer owed
the city fifteen cents, while the meter
of the third residence called for ST.
in coin of the realm for water: SIT. 10
from three meters is not so bad, but
the above record shows rather un.
equal distribution of the white man S
burden.

The Value Of Home Timber.

The value of our local timber is
becoming more and more pronounced.
Just now w. V. Keith is saving for
various customers, and we notice a
good many loads of fine oak lumber
passing through town sawed from
native logs. The rapid rise in lum-
Der in the past few years has brought
our farmers to a realization of the
value of native timber, and the time
is coming when tree culture will be
as much a farm department as crop
raising. In past years there has been
a wanton waste of the natural groves
in this section, trees of all ages being
cut for wood on the assumption that
the land is more valuable for farming
purposes. -HOpki ntOn Leader.

training the animal in yard when
attacked The horse caught Beverly S

crushed his chest with his knees,
while the mans arm was practically
torn from the shoulder. This is the

Arrangements have been practically
completed whereby the electric light
ing plant in ST Ansgar will be en-
tircly changed and the power will be
furnished from the ST. Ansgar mill.
At first it was expected to build a
new dam at Newburg and the site
was purchased for the purpose and
plans were all laid, but it was found
that the outlay for building the dam
would be considerable and cheaper
plan was sought. 1t was found that
sufficient power could be obtained
from the st. Ansgar mill to furnish
light for the town. The plan is to
put in a new large alternating current
dynamo of high voltage and bring the
power up town and then reduce it.
OF course this change will have its
and disadvantages. There
will be big saving of coal. but the
light will be affected by high water
and direct current motors and meters
will all be useIes and will have to
