County TO Be Re-Assessed

County Assessor Bottorf and
Prosecuting Attorney Rockford are
engaged in a merry war Of words
over at the county seat and the
taXpavers are expected 10 pay the
bin that viii arise from the dis
pute.
1t appears that the assessor, in
making the assessment for the en-
suing year. followed the law as he
could understand it. and also acted
under the instructions Of the State
Board Of Tax Commissioners. The
instructions from this board are
considered final until they have
been overruled by the courts.
Some time ago, after the work OF
assessing this county had been
practically completed, a prosecut-
ing attorney in one OF the other
counties of the state attacked the
validity OF the law which states
that money, mortgages, warrants
and other like paper should be ex-
cmpted from taxation. The Judge
upheld the attorney in his conten-
ton. and ruled that the assessor
should tax the collaterals men
toned. Thereupon Attorney Roch-
ford filed a suit in the superior
court of this county, asking that

labor will be required to make

this ali done. The forestry de-
partment desires all settlers living
in these parts to be of some service
to the department in case of fire,
etc. Therefore it stands to reason
that the department or government
should assist the settlers.

and the bar with an atmosphere
which is wholesome as ii is gra-

learning, laborious in investigation,

sincere regret that we contemplate
the termination by Judge Carey OF
the duties of presiding Judge of the

January, 1909, by reason of the

FATAL WRECK AT PARKER.

Parker, s. D., Oct. 4.The second
section of stock train No. 20, on the
Northwestern line, EN- route from
Pierre to Sioux City, at clock this
morning ran into the first section,
which was standing in the yards at
Parker, and killed j. Hansen, a stock
shipper of Beresford.
The first section of the train, was
taking water when the second section
crashed into it, completely splitting
the caboose, which caught fire and
was burned up,
The trainmen in the i'll fated ca
boose saw the oncoming engine in
time to give cry of alarm and then
jumped. j. Peterson, another stock
man from Beresford, succeeded in
jumping from the car in time to avoid
the crash, but his head and back were
seriously injured in alighting.
Hansen. the dead man, apparently
was asleep and did not hear the alarm.
The presumption is that he was killed
Instantly. Later the body was burned
to ashes.
Hansen and Peterson had been west
Of Huron buying up stock cattle for
feeding purposes and were returning
with them.

DISPUTE OVER CHAMPIONSHIP.

Pierre fans do not take kindly to
the claim of state championship put
up by the Deadwood team, now that
the teams have been disbanded. Their
claim is based solely Oh the fact that
i'll one lone game in which Pierre and
Deadwood met, the Hills team was
the winner. They leave out of their
claim the fact that the Deadwood
team was badly beaten by both Belle
Fonrche and Philip, both Of which
teams were defeated by Pierre in
series OF games. In fact Pierre was
the winner of every series Of games
with any team they played for the
season, except the last with High
more, in which they were defeated.
after having defeated Highmore in
three previous contests Of series.
Deadwood puts up it's claim Of cham
pionship on the one lone game, and
says nothing about the many defeats
they received by teams later defeated
by Pierre, where a series of games
were played, in which Pierre WAS not
victorious in every game, but always
took the greatest number of winnings
for the seriea.

A COMMISSIONER NEEDED.

AT the last legislative session
small appropriation was provided for
the secretary OF the state board of
agricultural, with headquarters,
wherever such secretary might be
located, for the purpose Of advertising
the state. This was a compromise
measure with those who were insist
ing on the creation of the office of
commissioner of immigration, and
supplying such officer with funds for
properly advertising the state. While
the state has practically nothing to do
with the present situation in Tripp
county, outside inquiries are coming
every day to different state depart
ments III regard to this tract, most Of
them to the state land department.
That department. has nothing in the.
way OF literature to send out, and as
the inquiries naturally come to the
state capital from those outside the
state, the clerk of the state board Of
agricultural is not in a position to
handle the inquiries even if he were
supplied with the necessary means,
which he is not. What the state needs
IS a commissioner at the capital where
outsiders look for state information
ana then be supplied with necessary
funds to properly advertise the state
and lts resources, and prepared to
answer inquiries which come every
day in regard to some portion OF the
state or some of it resources. The
present plan is mere makeshift, and
one in which the official selected can
not make good, however, much he de-
sired to do so,

PROPULSION is UNUSUAL.

The autumnal equinox Of the year
has passed. 1t came unattended with
Killing effects of frost. 1t witnessed
one OF the climaxes of the prosperity
OF the South Dakota farmer. Never.
IN the recollection of those now liy-

ance. In all that is good of the album
dance of the soil, especially in the
great staple grains and grasses, the
profuslon is unusual. South Dakota
IS indeed "fair as the garden of the
Lord. .
But there is more than wheat, corn,
oats and hay in the resplendent fields.

ness OF a mighty harvest. There are
more than material wealth in the
longness which Providence is pouring
into the barns and granaries of the
industrious millions engaged in agri-
culture in this grand paradise Of the
west. There are possibilities Of in

SO vast that the mere statistics of pro-

Captain Amundsen located the
magnetic pole in some out of the way
place, and now an English theorist is
convinced that the north pole has
shifted from its supposed moorings.
That is to say, if the calculations of
all the known explorers down to Pearv
have been correct there is no likeli-
hood that man extending his tracks
northWard to the limit would strike
the pole. This is because it has been
shifting eastward for years and now
keeps moving. Eventually he thinks
it will be in Siberia. If it has any

TAKING UP THE LAND.

The government reports show that
last year over Is, 900 900 acres of pub
lie lands were entered upon. This is
an area more than one-half the size of
Iowa. These lands are distributed
over the entire country, but especi-
ally the hitherto unoccupied western
states. OF courses a great many dreams
OF wealth will never materialize. for
many Of the lands entered upon are
doubtless OF not much agricultural
utility. Those situated in the more
than semiarid regions will be long
time in being developed. Thousands
OF people have become land hungry to
such an extent that they believe any
sort of land will do. They will be
wiser after they have tried to farm
some OF the lands that they have so
eagerly taken up.
But the landward movement is one
that Americans can look upon with
great favor. 1t shows, we believe. a
tendency to get away from the cities
and back to the lands. 1t will be bet
ter if these resolutions are actually
carried out. There are hundreds of
thousands getting along but poorly in
the great and congested cities who
would be better off Oh the soil, out in
the open air, where health is at hand,
even if wealth will not accumulate as
rapidly as some of them have been
led to believe. The movement toward
the land is one of the best things in
our current life.
The regret III this connection is that
all these would be settlers and land
tillers have not drawn such lands as
will encourage them in their cnltiva-
tlon. One is afraid that after a short
time hundreds and thousands will be
disappointed and then drift back to
the cities, only the worse for the
rural disappointment.
