OF SPECIAL FUND
LEVY FOR JAIL, BRINGS AeeRE-
GATE DOWN TO IA MILLS,
WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY Low.
Err THAN EVER BEFORE.
Levies in Mills.

Just before the tax books were turn
ed over to the county treasurer for coll
lection the first of the month,a death
blow was handed the special one mill
tax for the creation of a county jail
fund, which had been proided by
the board OF county commissioners
when the annual appropriation levy
was made. The county board held that
by levying one mill this year, which
would net over $4,000, that nucleus
could be formed for new jail An
additional levy OF two or three mills
next year would net sufficient to erect
a fine new building and being distrib-
uted over a term Of years, the tax
would not be felt to any extent.
After the taxes had been distributed
over the records it was discovered that
the legality Of the levy might be ques-
toned. For this reason it was strick-
en- off the records.
In the appropriation resolution, the
commissioners called for one mill for
new Jail, instead OF some specific
amount. 1t was calculated that about
$4,000 would be realized. An investi-
cation of the law governing this point
shows that the specific amount must
be stated in the resolution, instead
Of the amount in mills.
Although the mill levy Is consider
ably lower than ever before, the taxes
are not as correspondingly low. The
fact chat the state board made a
sweeping raise of 121z per cent on all
classes brings the valuations that
much higher.

tilla river huns by the town and is
quite a large river. There are about
800 people in Standeld, quite a num-
Der living in tents, because carpenters
are not able to build houses fast
enough to supply the demand. The
bank and hotel are about completed.
There are two restaurants here in
tents and good opening for another.
Meals are Is cents at the restaurant
and so cents at the hotel.
Stanfeld has q livery barn. two
stores, postofice, meat market, hard
ware store, and they have a fine
schoolhouse. The Stanfield Standard
is q bright little paper, edited weekly.
A cement walk runs through the main
street. All in about three months

rapidly.
They begin planting trees Feb. /.
Think of you folks there being buried

longer. Better come out here where
the sun shines.
There were forty persons on the

all bought land.
Must close for this time.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
strnnn RulI Mhsat Marker.

Minneapolis, Dec. 1S.--There are no
signs OF weakness in this bull wheat
market. Advances to new high prices
were. scored today with very little re-
action The best that could be made
in the way of declines were fractional
setbacks but these seem to be suffi-
cient to keep the technical position OF
the pit sound We see no evidence
of top and believe the market win
eventually go much higher Decreas-
ing reserves of wheat not only in this
country but also in Canada and on
ocean passage emphasize the very
bullish statistical situation the world
is swinging into as the year draws
to a close.
Foreign markets developed symp-
toms today indicating there were no
longer disposed to ignore the strength
in the United States. II they are get
ting ready to come TO this country for
their supplies, they will find they have
waited too long as speculative sent-
ment is now more responsive to bull
ish news than it has been at any time
this season. The foreigners will now
have to reckon with the American
speculator for wheat.
The northwestern situation is espe-
cially strong. The local May option
is now at a premium compared with
other western markets, it was recently
at a discount. Terminal stocks con-
tinue to decrease as miI1ers draw upon
local supplies to fill flour sales. The
advance has Ioosened up country offer
ings to some extent but with eleva-
tor stocks decreasing this wheat will
be badly needed and win not put any
permanent weight on the pit-Chas. E.

ENGINE HAULING WREcKiNG
OUTFIT TO cAssELToN JoLTED
REAR END OF PASSENGER
TRAIN NO. 15-FIvE PAssEN-
GERS SLIGHTLY INJURED.

A wrecker wrecked a passenger
train while the latter was standing at
the passenger station in the Northern
Pacific yards about o'clock this
morning, or rather the wrecker gave
the train bump so hard that the
crew and all thS people on the train
thought for few moments that they
were wrecked pretty badly.
Train NO. is was standing at the
depot when 1t was jolted In the rear
by the engine of a special wrecking
train which was being sent out from
Dilworth to Casselton, where an east
bound coast train was In trouble. Just
how the accident happened no one
seems to know, but the blame is laid
to the engineer of the wrecking train.
The passenger was carrying the us
ual red signals at the end of the
train, it was on time and occupying
it's right place on the main line. The
presumption is that the engineer Of
the wrecker failed to see the train
ahead of him on account Of the big
volume of escaping steam from the
rear coach of the passenger, and more,
it is stated that rather heavy fog
enveloped the train. The rear vesti-
bule of the sleeper was torn off and
and the baggage car, which was next
to the engine, was so badly damaged
it had to be detached from the train
in bad order.
The people in the sleeper were
thrown about the car and FIVE sus-
tanned slight injuries: G. r. McDon-
nell, Willisberg, Wis; Mrs. Severson,
Cooperstown, badly shaken up, but
able to continue her journey; Charles
Caspedano, express messenger, injured
shoulder; Mrs. Annie Bassasen, Lake
Park, Mimi, slight injury to the back
of her head, and Mrs. Sarah Perkins
of McClusky, hurt in the forehead.

Minnesota Apples the Best.

Prof. G. b. Waldron of the North
Dakota Agricultural college thinks
Minnesota apples are better than
western apples, says The Free Press
Fergus Falls. Before the Minnesota
State horticultural association, he
said:
Although western apples are prais-
ed for their size and redness those
who are initiated into apple production
know that the Minnesota apple has
the advantage of taste and flavor
Minnesota has the sunshine and high
latitude that give the advantage"
