The state auditor has completed the
assessment figures on the railroads Of
the state, as shown by the work of
the state assessment board and the re-
suit is sn increase of $6,500,000 over
the assessment figures of last year,
which means that the railroads will
pay a considerable more money in
taxes than they ever have before. $S43
per mile was the average increase in
the lines over the state, and an in
crease is also secured from the 500
additional miles of trackage which
has been built.

last legislative session, the terminal

separately and the different towns Civ

in work, amiable in disposition, pleas.

STATE FAIR POLICE.

We are in receipt of a letter from
G. N. M~cIlvaine, secretary of the state
fair board, replying to an article in
last weeks issue in which we mention
the work of crooks, and informing us
that arrangements are being made
for better police protection than was
had a year ago. For the benefit of
our readers we print the secretary's
letter:
Huron, s. D, Aug. %, 1908.
Mr.. Fred w. Wright, Editor,
De Smet, S. d.
Dear Sir
/ have your editorial in your paper
of August Il pertaining to the police
force. As a matter of information |
desire to advise you hat last year the
city Of Huron employed two plain
clothes men, Beadle county had two
and the Fair Board had two, and the
railroad companies had their force;
and they were inadequate to handle
the matter. This year there will be a
sufficient number of pl~ain-clothes men
to try and detect and punish these
offenders, a S the experience of last
year has taught us the ource from
which these crooks operate. Plans
are being laid for the single purpose
of detecting and Furnishing them.
OF course, we know that they work
the trains. For instance, last year
there were people had their
pockets picked at Salem than there
were on the platform at Huron. and
the railroad detectives were unable to
stop it. However, you may safely in
form your people that everything
possible will be done to remedy this
matter, as the fair board is as anxious
to put a stop to it and more SO than
anyone else.
Very truly yours,
G.. N. M~cIlvaine, Secretary.
