PROSPERITY OF THE STATE
Continued from page one)

now De about one-half greater than it
was prior to 1906, that immense ex.
tensions and new lines of railways are

graph lines extended all over the
state, all adding to our taxable prop
erty, it is only aQuestion of a very
Few years until the temporary debt in
CURED for the capitol building will be
wiped out entirely. Property in
South Dakota is assessed or valued for
taxation at about one-third it's true
value. This basis of valuation has
always prevailed. Some idea of the
rapldlty with which new property is
being placed upon the rolls may be
had from the fact that in 1890 our
total assessed valuation for purposes
OF taxation was sl36, s27,ol7.1 while
IN 1909 the total valuation of the same
classes OF property is 1921, O7o, 665.0O.
PUBLIC LANDS.
South Dakota owns about 2,OOO,OOO
acres of common school lands, given
1t by the federal government. None
OF this land can be sold for less than
$40 an acre, and very much of it is
now worth from $50 to $50 per acre.
The lands that have not been sold are
leased for grazing purposes. None of
1t is allowed to be broken up so long
as the state owns it. Originally there
were two sections of this land in
each Congressional township. In adj
dition to this, the state has loaned
out at interest about $3,8OO,OO0 COM
mon school endowment. The inter-
est from this money and the rent
from the common school lands owned
by the state is apportioned among the
common schools of the state and now
amounts to more than SO per year to
each child of school age. This goes
far towards keeping down the taxes,
and when all these lands are sold and
the money loaned, as it is required to
be by the law, the revenue will 20 far
towards supporting the public schools.
In addition to this common school
land the state owns over $500 acres
of land, the proceeds from which are
to be used by the state for the main
tenance of it's public buildings and
educational, penal and charitable in
situations. The largest beneficiary
from this sum will be the agricultural
college, which has an endowment of
1852 acres of this land.
With these lands rapidly becoming
available, and now nearly all bringing
in some revenue from rent, taxes
must continue low in this state.
HEALTH.
The subject which most seriously
appeals to the homeseeker is that of
health for himself and family. The
medium and higher attitudes have
always been found more healthful
than the lower levels. South Da-
kota has a varying altitude from

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS.
The prairies of South Dakota are
dotted almost all over with churches.
Every denomination now recognized
as Christian has firm foot-hold in
the state. tits now difficult for a
settler to locate at any point in the
state that has been opened for settle
ment more than year, without find
ing himself easily accessible to some
Christian church organization. The
spirit of bigotry and selfishness that
exists to a large extent in some of the
older states, entirely disappears in the
north and west. No state leads South
Dakota in religious organizations.

BOLD BANDITS WORK
HOLD TOWN AT BAY WHILE BLOW
 ING SAFE.
Unsuccessful Efforts to Rob Bank at Bald Knob, Ark, by Party of Men Who Make
 Escape

Bald Knob. Ark, March 19.-While streets discharging their weapons and holding the populace in terror. others of a band of robbers worked for more than an hour this morning in an un- successful effort to dynamite their way into the vault of the bank of Bald Knob. abandoning their task after fir ing nearly a score of blasts which de- m molished the outer door of the safe but without forcing the inner doors.
 One citizen was wounded in the part ing fusilade of the bandits they ran away.
 The first explosion was heard shortly before l o'clock. As citizens emerged from their houses they were greeted by shelter while the robbers held undis- puted sway, keeping up an almost con tinuous fire and taking chance shots at any who came within range.
 In the meanwhile those at work in the bank continued to explode dvna- mite but, as 1t proved, with little sue cess other than to partially wreck the building as well as an adjoining struc- ture.
 Before beginning operations the rob- bers destroyeds telephonic communica- : ton, out of Bald Knob but overlooked A railroad telegraph wire.
 A message to Augusta over this wire brought a posse of citizens from that place who joined several other posse g hastily formed here and immediately started in pursuit of the band.

LITTLE PROSPECT OF
 MUNICIPAL PLANT

President Gunter of the city council said last night that there was not much chance of the city building and maintaining It's own plant for lighting and to drive the pumps of the water department station. He cited the fact that some years ago. when the matter was being considered by the council. the service of an exr@rt engineer was employed and this man stated that a plant that would operate 360 arc lights furnish 1,500 incandescent lamps, and drive the pumps of the Wa ter department would cost approxt- mately $S0.o00.
 He said that for the city to have plant under municipal operation would mean the city having to erect poles and wiring for the lights of the city, buy lamps, and retain the services of a corps of expert workers to keep the plant going. and just now the city was not in a position to install a plant costing $S0,00O. MT. Gunter said that the difference in this expense as com pared with that of contracting with the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company for the power to run the pumps and furnish the lights was such that it would not be good busi- ness just now to consider the proposi- ton.

COUNCIL PRESENTS
 MEMBER WITH TOKEN

President Gunter and the other AL dermen sprung a little surprise on All derman Toole last night the Council men putting up a joke on the junior Alderman from Ward 6. The Presi- dent of the Council after calling the meeting to order. took occasion to re- buke the members for their absences and coming so late. At the conclu- sion of the lecture. Alderman Parrish, also in the plot, arose and in scathing terms denounced tardiness among the Councilmen, and. to the surprise of all, calling especial attention to Alder man Toole, personally.
 Taken utterly off guard by the un- precedented incident, MT. Toole was helpless, and when, at the conclusion of the denunciation delivered by MT. Parrish, President Gunter arose and asked the Alderman under fire to arise to be publicly spoken to on the sub ject by the chair. MT. Toole was non plussed.
 Toole was personally held in the high est esteem by all who knew him, still the fact that he had recently become a benedict did not excuse him from tar diness at Council meetings, but since he was highly valued for the dignity, he lent the Council by his presence and the stirling worth of his views on ques- tions brought \before the Councll. ms brother Aldermen wished to present to him a little token of friendship and appreciation.
 Then MT. Gunter handed the aston ished Alderman an eXquisitely chased gold mounted silver service. which was the gift of the Council to him.
 The rapid turn of the proceedings left Mir. Toole with no wind for his sailsgAand all he could do was to mop the precipitation from his troubled brow and thank the Council in terse talk, bubbling with wit and in the best taste, for the good will they showed him and for the handsome present.

DEMOCRATS OF HOUSE CONSIDER

Minority Congressman Will Present to The American People Their Contention As to Legisla-

Washington, Mar 19.-An address to the American people is being prepared by the Democrats of the House, setting forth the position of the minority party on the rules of the House.
 This address probably will be pre- sented to the caucus called for Monday night, and is being prepared by the committe of fifteen appointed to draft the new rules to govern future caucus es of the party. This committee met today
 There is seemingly unanimity in re- gard to the new rules to be drafted for future deliberations of the minority party. The plan regarded with the most favor Is to make every caucus ac- ton, supported by two-thirds of the minority members of the House, bind ing upon every Democratic member. whether present or absent. provided he does not notify the caucus in writing of his intention to vote otherwise than the caucus directs. or has not made a pledge during the campaign for elec- ton to vote otherwise.

 It is reported also that the Japanese are invading Paracels Island. fifteen miles east of Annam In the China Sea, and two cruisers. of the Chinese navy now here being made ready for visit to that group.
 The feeling over tbe so-called inva- sion of the Chinese rights has run so high that the viceroy at Canton has prohibited the press of that city from on it in the fear that in- fammatory articles might incite an outbreak against the Japanese.
