PROPERTY TO Be ASSESSED AT FULL VALUE
Diversion in the Method of Assessing Ward
County Property---Should Lower the
Rates---WiI be lot of Kicking.

The assessors Of Ward county
held q meeting at the court room
in this city last Saturday and
received their Instructions from
County Auditor Fabrick, regard
ing the method Of assessing this
year. They were given their
books the same time.
Mr.. Fabrick explained that
this year, according to law, all
property in the state shall be
assessed according to it's full
valuation, whereas heretofore
but a per cent OF the real valu-
alton was taken. II ,wever this
will lower the rate and if precau-
ton and good Judgment is used,
the taxes should be no higher
than they have been heretofore
Just how the assessors will get
at the valuation ofsthe property
is where the lub will be. The au-
ditor stated that il a man
has been Offering his farm for
sale for $4,000, then it should be
assessed for that amount. If
this is the case, there will be
some mighty cheap property on
the market.
A man may own a farm which

Money in Cattle.

The Langdon Republican says;
We have heard a mum er OF
times that it does not pay to
raise cattle in this country. This
may be true if the cattle are Of a
poor grade, but if they are from
thoroughbred stock it pays.
Last week j. F. Ramage pur-
chased twelve head of cattle for
his meat market, and four Of
them he purchased OF Archie Nc
Donald Of Harvey township at
an average Of a little better than
$4,000 per head, aad the other
eight averaged a little better
than $50 per head. Now do you
think it pays to raise good cat

How Farmers Are Done Up.

One cold day last winter while
our farmer friend, Mr.. j. D. Bon
sack was sitting by his Preside
at home perusing his newspaper
and magazines his attention
was captured by an ad. in the
Dakota Farmer, Of a certain bar
gain house at Minneapolis, run
by one Newman. This man Off
cred great things in his adver-
tisement, and although usually
skeptical of such allurements,
this time Mr.. Bonsack bit at the
bait and RENTED SIG to this
firm to cover the amount of his
expected purchase. From that
day to thi,, Mr.. Bonsack has re.
ceived neither the goods nor his
money back, but has been in
formed that Newman failed in
business after having defrauded
a great many farmers in both
North and South Dakota.

he paid $4,000 for. His neigh
Dor across the road may have
purchased his farm for $4,000.
These two farms may be one as
good as the other, but how will
they be assessed? The assessors
will have to use rare Judgment
this year and at best there will
be a lot OF kicking. The asses
sors do not like the new ruling
at all; but will have to 60 &C.
cording to instructions.
If a mans property is assessed
higher than be considers pro.
per, he will be given an oppor-
tunitv to place his objections
before the county commits
sioners when they sit as a
board OF equalization. After
the property Of the county has
all been assessed, then the rate
will be established. Just so
much money will have to be
raised, and the higher the valu-
alton OF the property in the
county, the less the rate should
be.
AS heretofore, the improve
ments will be assessed separate
from the land itself
