SOUTH DAKOTA RICHER.
Counties Report Increase in Assessed
Valuation.

Valuation.
With the returns SO far made by
che counties to the state auditor there
will be a decided increase in the gen
aral state valuation this year, and it Is
expected that under the new law
there will also be an increase worthy
Of note in the assessment Of corpo-
rate property. Eighteen counties have
made returns, which show ar increase
Of $11. 900, 900 over the returns from
the same counties last year. With the
same ratio of increase on the rest Of
the counties the increase in general
valuation will be approximately $34,-
600, 900 owe the returns Of last year.
and the increase in corporate prop.
erty will bring 1t to at least $50,O00,-
900 if the estimates are sustained.
With such an increase in valuation
it Is not likely that the full additional
2 mill levy authorized by the legtsla.
ture will be required to raise the
necessary revenues Of the state for
the next year.

eoosrs THE ASSESSMENT,
South Dakota Commission VIII Take

South Dakota Commission viii Take
Up Railroads Next.
The state board Of assessment has
completed it's work on telephone and
telegraph lines in the state and has
increased valuations on both these
classes Of property. The increase on
telephones amounts to $223,000 over
the valuations Of last year, and most
of this was placed upon local ex-
changes and toll lines which are reve-
nue-producing property, and the coun-
try local exchanges were reduced in
most cases, it being shown on the re-
ports filed that many of them do no
toll business, the expense being kept
up by assessments on the members,
and in many cases the instruments
used on the lines are only rented, and
not the property of the members along
tho line. This class of lines was given
a reduction, and all the increase
either m from new lines or in
creased valuations on revenue-pro-
ducing lines and systems. The total
footing as left by the board for this
year Is $500 900. The Dakota Central,
the big system Of the state, is assess
ed at $4,000, an increase Of $5S, 900
over Its assessment of last year, a
part Of this increase being covered in
new lines and systems which the com
pany has taken in by purchase within
the year.
Telegraph lines were %increaser &c.
700 over their assessment OF last year.
Of which the Western Union bears
$4,000, and the rest on the Postal.
The telephone commission has been
organized by the selection of State
Treasurer Cassill as chairman and W..
E. Eye as secretary. While the COM
mission will be hampered by the fail
ure Of the legislature to appropriate
an expense account, they expect to get
through with as much Of the work pre-
sented to them as possible and take
their chances on the next legislative
session appropriating money to REIN
burse them for their expenditures in
their work as commissioners.
The new railway assessment law

LEO'S FINISH IN SIGHT,.
Mountain Lion Is Sought by Nimrod
Who Killed 200 Bears, s in 20 Minutes.

" ~ ~
Having a record OF having killed
more than 200 bears, six OF which
were killed by him in twenty minutes,
William Mcmillan, a resident of
Meade county, in Western South Da-
kota, now will endeavor to run down
and kill a monster mountain lion
which for some time has been greatly
annoying and causing losses to the
ranchers near the western border of
South Dakota.
Among those who have been annoy
ed and greatly alarmed by the frequent
raids OF the mountain lion are Mrs.
Henry Schnitzel and children, who
are spending the summer on the
Schnitzel ranch. The children took
with them to the ranch three Shetland
ponies, and one by one they have all
been killed by the mountain lion. The
animal also has raided the corrals on
several occasions and killed and eaten
a number Of calves.
When he heard Of the presence OF
the mountain lion in that vicinity Mr..
Mcmillan decided to visit the scene
and put the animal out of commission.
He took with him two rifles, and ex
pected to return to his home with the
pelt Of the mountain lion.

NEW eETTLERS FILL VALLEYS.
Homesteaders' Shacks Even Spread to
the Hills.

The state land department is con.
cinuing its Typographical work on state
school lands, having had G.. c. Bar.
aey and j. G. Damn, two of the field
surveyors in Butte county, for several
weeks. They worked principally in
the northern part Of the county along
che headwaters of the Moreau and
Grand rivers, and they saw the valleys
Of these streams are practically all
taken by homesteaders who have
come in this spring.
A larger ire than usual in a newly
settled country has been broken up
and put into crops, and everything
which has been planted Is growing
dnely. The valleys have an immense
growth Of grass, showing that the soil
IS all right, and the homesteaders who
have located appear to be we'll salts
ded with the country in which they
have settled. The men in the state
work look upon the valleys as fine
agricultural lands, but are doubtful
as to the hill section between the
streams, although the prairie shanties
are beginning to get out into the hills
since the valleys are taken up.
The surveyors report antelope nu-
nerous and tame, as the law protect
ing the little animals is we'll observed
by the settlers, and the animals Craze
about the settlements with but little
fear Of the people who have invaded
