general agent of the Northwestern,

lions, Is follows:
During the past week the maximum
temperature has been about so degrees
above, with the exception that on Fri

Monday we had a light rain, and
Wednesday a heavy rain over the en-

been exceedingly favorable for wheat.
II is filling nicely and will be of good
quality. The harvesting of wheat will
commence neXt week n will be gen.
eral in 10 days. Corn is continuing to
make good growth, and with favorable
conditions from now on will be the best
corn crop ever produced in the state.
The rains during the week greatly BEN

WOMAN HOMESTEAOER
ENJOINS RAILROAD
Claims She Was Contesting
Claim When Right of Way
Was Secured.

Dallas. S.. D., July 19.-Grading con-
tractors at work on the Northwestern
extension west from Dallas were TO-DAY
served with notice of a temporary IN
junction. issued at the instance OF MISS
Eleanor Sallee, a hOmesteader, TWO
miles southeast Of ColOme. The con-
tractors are restrained from operating
on Miss Sallee's farm pending dJudl
cation Of her claim for right OF way
damages. IT,
There arises in this case q pecula
question in the matter Of a homestead
er's title. The tract Of land from,
which the grading contractors are tenn
porarily taboOed was taken up nde a
filing by Otto Schneider, Of Mitchell,
who held No. 4 in the Trip county
land opening. Several months ago he
made right Of way settlement with the
railroad company, receiving the sum or
1865, although his entry was at that
time under contest by Miss Sallee.
Subsequently the contestants rights
were held to be good and she was given
O. filing. She denies the validity or the
settlement made with the original en-
tryman and is promoting a personal
claim for $1,000.
Both federal and state laws make
provision for the legal acquisition Of
railroad right OF way through home
stead lands, and the right Of a home
steader to make settlement of this kind
Is unquestioned, unless adverse rights
are affected.

CHARMER IS

Clear Lake, S. D., July 22.-Martin

sounding name Of Dorothea. accord
Ing to Greek mythology, the gift OF

Ere long Casberg ceased 70 value the
gift which hailed from Chicago and
gave Dorothea $1,000 to go way back
and sit down by the shores Of Lake
Michigan and not bother him any more.
She went, but evidently pondered on
the way and came to the conclusion
that a man who could pay $1,000 to be
let alone was worth troubling, hence
she brought suit to be reinstated as
his ''ownest own" or in lieu Of his
smiles and suburban home, provide her
with the comforts Of the rich who roll
in luxury. Casberg flashes a contract
OF waiver on the part of the Chicago
charmer who still claims his name and
insists that the court shall make her
stop using the name of Casberg as
though she had bought II with a price.
In the meantime Casberg has cut off

per and gives all his spare time out of

BOARD
AWAITS RETURNS ON
VALUE or RAILWAYS
Increase of $12, 600, 900 Will
Be Shown in Taxable Prop
erty in South Dakota.

Pierre, s. D, July 21.-The state
board OF equalization and assessment
began It's annual struggle with the
questions of state assessment and
equalization yesterday and will be busy
for the e. three weeks. 1t took up
the assessment Of corporate property
first, listening to the representatives Of
the railways and other interests. While
the members of the board do not in
any way indicate what their action
will be in regard to changes in railway
assessments, the probabilities are
against any material changes In this
class of property. The work Of phys
teal valuation is not yet completed; a
suit is pending in the United States
the state is one Of the vital issues, and
with nc new mileage returned for as
sessment, the figures for this year are
likely to remain at about the same as
las year.
Last year the increased valuation
over the previous year was S2',OOo,oO0'
but this year II Is not likely to be in
creased much above $l2,0 900, 900. Most
of this will come from real estate,
about half Of II from new n for
the first time placed on the tax rolls,
the rest from changes in valuations in
he older counties, as fixed by the
county auditors meeting in March.
There will be a slight increase in
telephone valuations on cOu OF new
companies organized. While the ex-
press companies are lighting their as
sessment OF last year in the courts, it
is not likely the board will change its
method OF arriving 1T their valuations,
and on the same basis the increase in
this class OF property will bring an ad-
ditiOn Of more than 800, 600.
Last year the total valuation Of the
state for assessment purposes ran up
TO 1921, 900, 600, and it is hardly likely
that the total will go above 1886, 000, 600
this year, If 1t reaches that figure. II
the state board continues the levy OF 4
mills for the next year, this will. with
the miscellaneous receipts of the state,
mean q revenue of over 81, 500, 900 for
the state next year, and will practically
wipe out the present Indebtedness by
the beginning OF the fiscal year, July l.,
1911.
