The government crop report for Octo-
ber credits South Dakota with a total
wheat product for 1909 of forty-five mil
lion and fifty thousand bushels. State
Statistician Robinson has figured that
the total product is near fifty million.
According to the government report the
three leading spring wheat states South
Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota
have produced nearly two hundred and
twenty y-seven million bushels of wheat
this year, gain over 1908 of about fifty
two million bushels. The recent slump
in the price of wheat indicates that the
crop throughout the country is much
larger than the average. In South Da-
kota alone, according to Robinson's fig.
ures, the crop of 1909 leads that of a year
ago by over thirteen million bushels, a
gain of nearly thirty per cent.

agement of the local Snpt., was one of
interest and helpfulness.
The Annual Sermon by Rev. Perrin
on "Christ the Water of Life" was most
helpful and impressive, as the speaker
revealed the truth that as water is re-
freshing 80 Christ brings refreshment to
the wearied soul, as water is purifying
30 Christ can cleanse and purify the
most sinful life, as water transforms 30
Christ can change face marked with
sin and darkness to one that is radiant
and hopeful, as water is ever present so
Christ too is found a very present help
everywhere, in China, in Africa, in the
remotest part of the earth as well as
here. AS water quenches the thirst and
satisfies so Christ satisfies the true seek
er after righteous. That this sermon
was splendid preparation for the Com
menion services which took place in the
afternoon was evident by the many
which partook of the Lords Supper.
The impressiveness of the hour was one
long to be remembered.
The event ng service consisting of three
addresses on the Christians RESPONSE
bilities was most interesting throughout.
Rev. Dietrich spoke on the Christians
Responsibility to Himself and impress
ed upon that large audience the import
ance of a Christ filled life. He said :
"Not one of US can expect to lead lost
soul to the Master unless the Master
lives within u.s." 1t is the Christians
first and highest privilege to entertain
the Christ within. Rev. Ashley spoke
on the Christians Responsibility to the
World and impressed upon the minds of
his attentive listeners the importance OF
reaching out a helping hand to our weak
er brother. Rev. Jenney concluded the
service by an able address on the Chris
tian's Responsibility to God in which he
extended the invitation and earnestly
urged all without Christ to come now to
the feet of the Master. Many souls
have been born into the Kingdom OF
God through the earnest efforts of this
man of God, and in Custer many a soul
will take more consecrated stand for
God and man.
The work of the choir throughout the
Association meeting was superlative,
every selection was display of the 6n-
est art.
The hospitality of the Custer people
was the finest exhibition of Christian
courtesy which it has been the fortune
of the delegates to enjoy, and will long
be remembered by all of them. Some
of the delegates and pastors returned to
their different fields of labor on Monday
morning. A party of six remained over
until Tuesday, spending Monday at Syl-
van Lake and Harvey Peak.

When Is Halloween.

That is the question that io bothering
a lot of people and especially the au-
thorities in the cities, who have much
to contend with in this observance. AS
is well known, Halloween is celebrated
on the last day of October and is an
event taken advantage of by all, espec-
tally the young people to mask and
make merry in various ways. But this
year the Slst falls on Sunday, and Of
course, there can be no Halloween fri
volity on this day.
The question arises as to when the
Halloween celebration shall be held
Saturday night or Monday highland
there are differences of opinion. Some
favor the night before the 3lst, while
others think Halloween should not be
celebrated until the 3lst has arrived,
and consequently think Monday night
the proper time.

Some writer, wiser than the most OF
his day and generation, has written that
the prosperity of town is not caused
by the wealth of its individuals solely,
but by the uniformity with which they
pull together when any important un-
dertaking is to be accomplished. A man
with a thousand dollars at his command
and love for town in bis heart can do
more for the building up and improve
ment of it than millionaire who locks
up his capital and snaps his fingers at
home progress.

Rangers must be between 81 and 40
years of age at the time of taking the ex-
animation, able. bodied and capable of
performing hard manual work. Thorough
familiarity with the region in which
employment is sought is essential, to-
gether with actual experience in the

tain the highest possible standard of ef-
ficiency and the degree of advancement

sANITARIUM LOCATED.
State Tuberculosis Sanltarium Site Select
ed by the Board Of Charities and
Corrections at Custer.

CORRECTIONS at custer.
The state board of Charities and Cor
rections were here Wednesday Of this
week and selected site for the Sani-
tarium. The selected site is few miles
west from Custer City. The Board made
known their decision in the matter in
writing. A committee was appointed
who have in charge the details of the
matter of securing title.
DR.. Rate, the author Of the Bill, was
present with the committee and was
largely instrumental in selecting the
site.
1t seems that for some reason objec-
tions have been made to the location of
the Sanitarium at Custer. The reason
given, as we have been able to gather,
is the high altitude. The proposition to
change the location to Hermosa or Fair
burn, to any one informed as to the pur-
poses and objects of the institution is too
ridiculous for serious consideration. The
dry climate, mild winters, coal summers,
altitude, pine trees and attractive sur
roundings make this the ideal spot, and
any change in location and surrender
some one or more of the necessary ele-
ments required by such an institution.
1t is only fair to the Board to say that
they were not influenced in their selec-
ton of the site by the arguments or
pleadings Of any person, but by care
full investigation of other institutions of
the same nature; and based upon a
knowledge of the requirements, agreed
with DR.. Rate that Custer and vicinity,
and particularly the spot selected, is the
ideal one for such purpose.

TWO NEGROES KILLED.
County ConyiCts Shot in Hill COun-
ty-(Iuard Gives Bond.

Hillsboro, Texas, May 1.-Two
county convicts, both negroes, were
shot and killed at an early hour yes
terday morning, about one and one
half miles west of Whitney, where
they were employed in a road gang
on the Whitney and Graham ROAD.
The names of the men killed were
Jim Jackson and John Wilson, and
both are said to have been transient
negroes. 1t is claimed that they mu-
tinted and threatened the life of the
foreman of the guard also resisting
orders given them.
Sheriff Cox and other officers went
to Whitney yesterday morning and
Winfield Rivers, foreman of the
guard. was placed under arrest. He
was admitted to bail in the two cas-
es, the amount of the bond in one
case being $1,000 and in the other
$4,000. He readily gave bonds and
was released.

no opportunity to conceal from the
taxing officers the property subject
to taxation. That there is unjust
discrimination against banks, in most
localities, by the taxing officers, is
generally admitted fact While this
discrimination is recognized as I'M
Just, yet it is not what the courts
have held as being Illegal discrimin-
elimination there has been much jul
dicial legislation. 1t is now the set
tied rule OF law that a bank can not
be relieved of what is regarded as
excessive valuation of its stock, I'M
less that valuation, in fact, is in ex-
cess of the actual value of the stock.
Law Varies.
The law governing the rendition
of property for taxation varies very
materially in many states. And the
court decisions respecting taxation
against banks, based on the respec-
| tiNt S'dA' dlV
conflicting. Seligman, in his excel
lent work on taxation, says: "The
i first constitutional injunction. that
of uniformity of taxation" is flagant-
| ly violated. Assessors are openly com
PEELED TO disregard their oaths, OF
TO incur certain defeat at the next
gnyi. 80, Of
| plying with the law" In the annual
report of state assessors of New
York, they state mo board of Off
Gals, however diligent or however
lconversant they may be with the
subject. can make an equalization
/, which to themselves will be absolute
Ily satisfactory. The strife between
counties to reduce assessments has
not ceased and in all probability will
not, as long as assessors are elected,
or seltishness be passion in the hui
man breast" AS heretofore stated,
a state board of equalization would
do much to equalize and harmonize
the discrimination between counties.
Much of the legislation in various
states on taxation, is of bungling
and harmful nature to the best in
terests of the people. This arises
i from lack of information and edu-
cation on the part of Legislators, re-
speeding the subject of taxation
This statement is in no wise in
tended as reflection on the intelli-
gence of legislative bodies. In truth,
lit requires an inclination and apti-
tude TO master the dry details of
many subjects submitted for legisla-
| ton. And the complex question of
taxation Is one of them. am fully
conscious of the fact that there is a
small minority in all legislative
bodies who are informed on such
matters, and when political passion
and prejudice enters into the con-
test the uniformed majority pays
but little heed to that minority. 1t
would be more practical If such
questions were first submitted to a
committee of experts in that line be-
fore it was referred to a legislative
body.

RESIDENCE STREET PAVING.

gineer of Dallas, OH methods of
street paving. The meeting was in
formal and all were at liberty to
ask questions.
Mr.. Maxey suggested two kinds
of paving for the residence streets.
One is to get the road bed into
grade, then pour oil on the ground.
After the oil has had time to soak
in the surface is plowed then har-
rowed and tamped hard. This is re-
peated three times, and after the
third time pea gravel is evenly dis
tributed over the surface and then
tamped in by heavy roller. This
makes a hard, smooth surface and
has already been put in operation at
Houston and Texarkana, and is de-
ing good service. This style of paw
ing can be put down. for $40 per
square yard. se
