Corn Land for tbo Benp ca

Corn Land for the Bean CrOp,
Beans may be planted late and ma.
ture before a probably frost. For sew.
eral years beans have borne a good
price, and If the wheat crop proves to
be as short as threatened at this writ
ing the consumption Of them is likely
to be larger than usual. The planting
harvesting and thrashing of beans may
be done by machinery now, which re-
moves a former serious objection to
their culture; and If the crop area on
a farm has been made smaller than
desired, by reason of the cold spring, a
field of beans might be advantageously
used in extending the seasons crops
Good corn land is excellent for beans,
and their cultivation does not differ
materially from that of corn, hence It
does not require any special instructlB
or skill to grow them successfully.

WOULD RAISE THE
ASSESSMENT
STATE AUDITOR ISSUES LETTER TO COUN-
TY AUDIT0BS---W0ULD RAISE as
SESSMENT.
June 10, 1907.

oUA1S AOs AcOs'
County Auditors,
State of North Dakota,
Gentlemen;
During the past year our at
tention has been called to the as
sessment of property in the sever
al counties at different times and
during the last month several COM
munications have been received
asking what means could be used
to correct inequality of assessment
of property in number of the
counties.
The question of assessment of
property for taxation purposes is
becoming an important one in this
state and at this time the different
counties are assessing at such very
different percentages that it seems
an almost impossible task to have
any board of equalization arrive at
any rate of increase in percentum
to make the assessment of one per-
son and another on anything near
the same basis.
As state auditor and secretary
of the state board of equalization
the question of assessment is
very important one to me and l
have gone over the laws according
to the Revised Codes for 1905 for
North Dakota and / beg leave to
! call your attention to several laws
or sections of laws, which l find
therein.
Beginning with section 1917, as
to how assessment shall be made,
we find that the assessor shall per-
form the duties required of him
during the months of April and
May and that he shall by actual
examination determine the true
and full value of each tract or lot
of real property listed for taxation
and shall enter the value thereof
in one column and the value of all
improvements and structures there
on in another column; that per-

HE LACKED MANNERS.

A young man in San Angelo re-
Gently applied to a merchant for a
position in his establishment. He
brought to the merchant some very
strong letters of recommendation.
His family connections were of the
best and everything would have
pointed to his securing the position
but one thing-hiS manners. When
he applied for the position he had a
cigarette in his mouth. He didn't
show the merchant the courtesy OF
knocking at his private office door
when entering and forgot to take
off his hat. These things did not
add anything to the young mans
strength in the eyes of the mer-
chant and he was refused the posi-.
ton. He went away and wondered
why.
There are many men who are
not even acquainted with the rudi.
ments of good manners They
seem to think that in making ap-
plication for a position they must

THE BASE BALL CLUB.

| On Tuesday night the City
Council met in regular monthly
session, the band practiced at the
court house and the X. of P. lodge
met but, Notwithstanding all this,
there was quite rouSing meeting
of some of our leading citizens of
Canyon for the purpose or organ
izlng forces to secure the fastest
base ball team that ever adorned a
western diamond, to represent the
town "at the forks of the creek"
during the coming season.
Last year we had a good team
which won fully two thirds of the
games played, winning the major
lty of the games with Amarillo, as
the records will show, and Canyon
hopes to have a team again this
year that will be worthy of the
metal of any neighboring towns
team.
In the minds of some a ball team
is nothing, but base ball is our Ma
tional game and is enjoyed by most
all Americans. 1t is the aggressive
spirit in a town in maintaining a
team that advertSeS the town,
aside from the fact that the name
of the town will be brought before
the minds of thousands of people
by means of press notices giving
results of the games.
The meeting was not called to
order until after 10 o'clock, and
such bulldog tenacity as was dis
played by the base ball contingent
in waiting for adjournment of the
City Council speaks volumes for
the success of the enterprise.
Officers elected are: Geo. /. Alb
bott, president; J. H. Garrison,
Vice-president; Travis Shaw, secre-
tary and treasurer; Oscar Smith,
manager; Tom H. Rowan, gate
keeper; l., l., Powers, official score
keeper.
Manager Oscar Smith left We'd

men to be had. With the assist
ance of good old honest "Wick,"
whom he has wired to meet him in

A perfect town IS that in which
you see the farmers patronizing the
home merchant, the laborerS spend
ing the money they earn with their
own tradeSmen, and all animated
by a spirit that will not purchase
articles abroad if they can be bought
at home. The spirit of reciprocity
between man and the mechanic,
tradeSman and laborer, farmer and
manufacturer, results every time
in making the town perfect one
to do business in. Perfection should
always be desired, even where at.

be denominated a great rarity until
