ant gentleman to meet. He is well
acquainted with Chas. Powers,
publisher OF the News at that place,
and a former De Smet boy, whom he
says is doing well.
"A meeting of the bankers of
Kingsbury county was held in this
city Wednesday afternoon for the
purpose of considering the action of
the state board in arbitrarily raising
the assessment of banks in this coun-
ty 33a per cent. In this county the
banks were assessed on capital stock
and surplus and undivided profits,
which was not the case in many coun-
ties. In view of the assessment of
the surplus and undivided profits the
bankers feel that they were already
crlled upon to pay a tax fully equal
to that paid by any other class of
property, and that the arbitrary raise
of 33a per cent vas unjust and I'M
called for. Their view of the case is
reasonable, too. 1t has been in the
past quite popular to advocate a
'punch" at the banks upon the slight
est %provocation. and there was some
reason in it, too, when only the
capital stock, which often did not
amount to more than half the banks
working capital, was assessed. But
with the assessment of every dollar of
the banks money the matter should
stop. There is no reason why a dol
lars worth of bank stock should pay
more tax than a dollars worth Of
farm land. Those in attendance at
the meeting from outside the city
were w. j. Allen, of Arlington, j, H
Lloyd and p. j. Langlie, of Lake
Preston, A. N. Barber, of Esmond,

this evidence of interest in our school

Andrew Halvorson, living north
west of this city, is this week enjoy
ing a visit from his brother, John
Halvorson, who lives on a farm near
G~enessee, Idaho. John has lived in
the western country for a good many
years. In the early days he visited
this section with the view of locating,
bat his plans did not mature and he
returned to the west At that time
this section did not look as prosper
Gus as it does today and John says
the little straw covered stables and
the hay that looked as if it would
blow away before a man could get it
to the barn made him sick. And
during the hard times of the early
COS he congratulated himself hat he
did not stay in Dakota. But what a
change, said John to this writer. To
day you have the best farming coun-
try to be found anywhere, well inn
proved, and productive" said he.
John likes the section where he lives,
but is willing to admit that ours can
not be beaten. In his section grain is
all sacked on the farm; it is handled
at the warehouses in sacks, and ship
ped in sacks, making a heavy expense
for the farmer. Mr.. Halvorson is
nicely located where he is and con
~sequently has no idea of changing his
location. Mr.. Halvorson has the APP
pearance of prosperity, and we know
that he is a well informed and pleas
