TAXES AM0UN7EDTO
100000 OR
MORE
This Sum Represents Approx
innate Amount Paid in
for Taxes.

Although March 1, the day when all
taxes become delinquent, is passed and
the rush Of taxpayers is over, there is
no let up for the force in County
Treasurer McDonald's office. The
deputies are busy sending out receipts,
checking up the books and making en-
tries.
Few people realize the amount of
money that passes through the hands
of the county treasurer. During the
month of February, probably no less
than $4,000 was taken in in Grand
Forks county. Although no totals have
been made yet. the figures of Febru-
airy year ago can be taken as
criterion.
During that period exactly 1901, 140.-
% was paid in, this sum representing
the state, county school, township.
road and bridges, etc. The state and
counties share of the money was
$197,90715. OF the Appropriated
100000 paid during February, $685.
600 is rushed in during the last few
days and 1t keeps the county officials
on the jump to care for the money and
give proper receipt.

THE TOWN IS PROSPEROUS
Business in Richland County Was Not
Affected By the Traffic
Conditions.

Business conditions at Abercrombie
are very good and the town has not
suffered from the demoralized traffic
conditions which have existed during
the winter, according to Charles U.
Crawford, resident of that city. He
says that the people of Abercrombie
did not experience any great incon-
venience from the coal shortage this
winter, and the movement of wheat in
Rochland county has been sufficient to
make business good all the time.
'The farmers still have considerable
grain on hand, but it is moving right
along, and there is no great conges-
tion," he said. ION the west side of
the Red river, the farmers are pros
porous, but over on the Minnesota
side there is considerable grain which
will not be shipped because it is of
too poor a quality"

Inc Removal Scheme Fell Fat-Presdent Scott Saws Fargo
scr1oes Have Been Hitting the Ppe-Grand Forks Will
Have Greatest Fair Ever Held

The North Dakota state fair will be
held in Grand Forks on the week of
July % to q inclusive. Such was the
statement Of President A. l.. Hunter of
the state fair board this morning.
This announcement follows closely on
the path of the failure of the Devils
Lake people to secure the fair at that
place. The Miller bill which provided
for the removal was defeated in the
house at Bismarck yesterday after
noon by vote of 80 to A, doing away
with the least possible show for Devils
Lake and Fargo, the statements in the
Fargo papers Notwithstanding.
In the latter city peculiar condi-
ton exists with reference to the in
fiuence and legislative powers of the
daily papers. The scribes on both
Fargo papers have persistenly ham,
mered the statements that regardless
of the state laws the state fair would
be held this year in the city up the
Red.
With reference to the publishing of
these statements and the credence
given to them in the southern part Of
the state, Presidnt Scott of the Fargo
fair board makes the following an
nouncement over his signature:

NO CHANGES EFFECTIVE
Township Elections and Meetings Will
Be Held the Same as In Past.

AS a result of the passage Of numer-
GUS bills by the legislature affecting
townships, the impression prevails
that there will be many changes this
year from the practice heretofore.
Such, however, is not fact.
The old township boards will meet
on the second Tuesday of this month
and the annual township meetings
will occur March 10. The only change
will be that the new boards will elect
one supervision, instead of three, as
heretofore, fof a term of three years.
One week after the annual meeting
the new boards will meet and perfect
organization.

mer concerts is approaching. One of
the officers of the band stated this
morning that at least two dozen ap-
plications for the position are already
in the hands Of the committee so that
