NAL. The church was organized at Burke

building from the Baptist society and pre-
sented it to the Congregational society,
provided they would meet thereafter at
East Burke.
few years ago the society received 6
bequest of $4,000 from Alfred Darling
and the legacy placed the church in G
fourishing condition. Rev. J. Z. Bodwel

w. r.. MURPHY AT PIERRE

w. H. Murphy went to Pierre Tues
day morning to appear before the state
board of equalization in behalf of the
merchants of the city. This year
stocks of merchandise in this city
were raised 12R per cent and this
with the Is percent raise last year
makes the tax unreasonable as COM
pared with other towns. Huron,
for instance, returned only about half
the merchandise valuation that Brook
ings did, and on top of this the state
board tackled on another 1919 per cent
Mr.. Murphy returned last even
ing and reports that the board acted
favorably upon his petition and the
12k per cent raise was taken off
This effects the whole county in the
same way as Brookings, and every
stock will be reduced.

OTHER ELECTRIC RAILWAY
Project VIII be Talked Over at
Mitchell Tomorrow
PROJECT IS BEING PUSHED RIGHT
And There IS No Reason Why It
Should Not be Built

A meeting of the promoters of the
electric railway line between Mitchell
and Marshall, Via Brookings, will be
held at Mitchell tomorrow. Repre-
sentitives will be in attendance from
Madison. BrOokings, Marshall and
other points along the proposed route.
For several weeks several members
or the company in connection with r.
F. Kerr, BrOokings, and c. ID. Kennedy.
Madison, have been arranging a map
OF survey of the counties through
which the proposed line will pass and
considerable information will be at
hand when the company meets.
AT this time it is thought that some
definite steps will be taken toward se-
curing the right away through the
country. This, it is believed. will not
be difficult matter. At the time
that the committee made the drive
from Mitchell to Marshall they had an
opportunity to discuss the proposition
with farmers along the line and every.
one of them were found to be in SYM
pathy with the building of the road,
and that there would be no high prices
placed on their land which would be
a bar to the purchase of the right of
way through the farming section. The
towns visited by the committee show
ed very generous disposition to aid In
the construction of the road and appli-
cations have been made from places
beyond Marshall to have the road ex
tended beyond that point
The road passes through some very
rich farming country and through
number of important countyseat towns
and on reaching Marshall direct con.
nection can be made with the Twin
Cities.
1t is very likely that at this meeting
that the promoters of the electric line
between Mitchell and Wagner will
be present and take some interest in
the proceedings. That line is partly
under way anu they are now con-
tracing for electrical supplies and ma
terial for the construction of the road

the date for the hearing of the case,
which will be held in this city. 1t is
possible that settlement will be made
before the case comes to trial, as the
parties are only about S400 apart.
The defendant in the case is not the
Dakota Central, but the citizens com.
mittee of Arlington. In order to get
the road Arlington had to furnish the
right of way seven and half miles on
each side Of the town, and the lands
belonging to the plaintiffs are included
in this strip. The people of Arlington
would not give the property owners
along the road fair compensation for
the damages done to the land, and in
the name of the railroad company
made itself very unpopular with the
property owners in Bangor by taking
the law into its own hands and going
ahead with the work The farmers
then got busy and drove them off with
shOtguns, and it was necessary for
some of them to remain on guard all

The South Dakota Central also got

townsite in that part of the country
About a half a dozen different farmers
had been promised by the company
that the town would be located upon
their farms, and the matter has not
been settled yet.

REDEEMINS PLEDGES

The new railway assessment law
railroads in the way of property ter
minals and in towns which did not
get upon the list at a rate of so much
per mile regardless Of where the mile
was located. while the old system
would only show the valuation of the
mileage through the towns, the figures
under the new assessment as compiled
by the governors office show that the
towns are largely the gamers, and at
the same time the lines in the country
have not been in any way reduced, but
generally increased, under the new as
sassment. DeadwoOd under the old
law was credited with S29 900 for rail
road property, and under the new as
sessment gets credit for S245, ,O69.
Lead shows an increaes of Sc, S41 to
$145,S16. Sioux Falls goes up from
$S9, ,40S to $2SS4 Aberdeen increas
es from S22,119 to $137,119. Watertown
from $4,000 to 1892 249S, Pierre from
$4,000 to $SS,425. Under this change
in the law the cities and towns will get
larger railway tax than they have in
the past.
The total figures on different classes
OF property are as follows General
property, real and personal, s236,366,-
539, which is an increase of $30,92S,-
$40, or 15.5 per cent. OF this total
Sl54,S2S,2S9 is placed upon real estate,
giving that class of property an in
crease of $25, ,159,145, or 1910 per cent
