ASSESSMENT AGREE
MENT TOO LOW.
County Court Asks Township
Assessors to Assess Prop
erty Higher.

The assessors OF the several town
ships OF Bates county met the 9Th
dy OF June When the following as
sessments were agreed upon for as
sessing real and personal property
for the year 1908.
Average horses and mules to be
taken at $4,000 per head and as
sessed at 40 per cent OF their value.
Stations and Jacks to be left TO
the Judgment of the assessor.
Average 2 year old steers to be
taken at S25 90 and assessed at 40
per cent OF their value.
Average l year old steers to be
taken at SIS 90 per head and assess.
ed at 40 per cent OF their value.
Averagecows to be taken at $50. 90
per head and assessed at 40 per cent
OF their value.
Hogs to be assessed at 80 so per
100 lbs.
Average sheep to be assessed at
81 so per head.
All land to be assessed at 30 per
cent of Its value.
], R. WooDFIN, Chairman.
c. c BROWNING. Secretary.
A glance at the above statement
plainly shows that the assessment Is
very low, in fact lower than hereto
fore and 1t Is also plainly seen that
all the available taxes from such an
assessment will not deiray the cur
rent expenses OF Bates county.
In the county OF Bates there are
some two hundred bridges and six
hundred miles of public road
to be taken care of and maintained,
and there Is not meeting OF the
county court that petitions for
bridges or repairs to be done on
bridges are not presented, and mon
ey asked for to keep up and main
tain said bridges and roads, and will.
ingly would the County Judges grant
these petitions In almost every case
were there available funds In the
county treasury for such, but the as.
sessing OF real and personal property
year after year for less than 4 OF its
real valueis just the reason our roads
and bridges are In the condition they
are.
Even under the most economical
administration such assessing will
never meet the demands u the coun.
ty and II such assessing is continued
1t will only be a matter OF time until
something will have to be done TO-
ward voting special levy In order
to deiray the expenses.
Why not the assessors OF the sever.
al townships reconsider this matter
and save the county court The trou.
BILE, and the taxpayers OF Bates coun.
ty the extra expense Of having a
Board of Equalization set for a week
or more In order to raise the assess.

expenses Of our county. Signed,

Former North Dakotan Victim of Min
neapolis Thieves.

Minneapolis, April 22.-H L. Ward,

from a visit in England, was waylaid
and robbed of $1,000 by two highway

ty-fiye men were in the vicinity but
did not deter the men from their pur-
pose and they escaped.
Ward sold some real estate In North
Dakota several months ago. Possess
ing about $1,000 he went to Europe
to visit relatives. On his way back a
week ago he registered at the Golden
West hotel In Minneapolis. Being in
need of ready cash he cashed check
for $1,000, receiving in payment two
bills Of $500 each. Two men at the
hotel who saw the draft cashed fell
into quick acquaintance with Ward
and suggested that they take walk
Ward readily consented and the trio
went to the freight yards, where one
OF the men proposed that small game
Of chance be played Again Ward
consented. From pennies the amount
few to dollars before Ward objected.
The men, not desiring to lose their
game" bet they were in possession
OF more money than Ward. The bet
was taken and Ward showed his two
$500 notes. Instantly he was pounced
upon by the robbers and cholsed until
they secured the money. The two
highwaymen then escaped through
tho wards.

ACCEPTS NEW RATE BILLS
Great Northern Will Not Fight Min

Great Northern Will Not Fight Min
nesota Enactments.
st. Paul, April 22.-President Louis
w. Hill of the Great Northern road
has authorized l.. C. Spooner of Nor
ris, chairman of the house railroad
committee, to announce that the Great
Northern had decided to accept the
2-cent passenger fare bill and the COM
modify freight rates contained in the
bill recently passed by the legisla-
ture.
The Great Northern's acceptance OF
the two bills means that they must
generally at least be accepted by the
other roads in the state. At competi-
tive points at least the other roads
will be compelled to meet the cut and
under the long and short haul rule
that will compel reduction at inter-
mediate points.
The acceptance by the Great North
ern Of the Spooner rate bill Is not an
unmixed victory for the state. The
rates are considerably higher than the
figures contained in the schedule which
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion determined upon as reasonable,
but 1t was thought by the legislature
that 1t would be better to get the
lesser reduction without waiting for
the end Of the litigation than to insist
on the deeper cut and not get It until
the case had gone through all the
courts in the land.
