TO ADVERTISE HILLS.

A scheme is on foot to advertise
the scenic beauties of the Black Hills
next year more extensively than has
ever been done before, says a Dead
wood dispatch The plan was propos-
ed by w. S. Elder an attorney and
active member of the Deadwood Bust
ness club. Ii includes the organiZa-
ton of regular daily and weekly trips
from Deadwood by stage and auto to
all the points of interest around the
Hills, such as the Bad Lands east of
Rapid City, Rapid Canon, Hot Springs,
Mammoth cave, Cave of the Winds,
Crystal cave, Harvey peak, Sylvan
lake, Spearfish canyon, Fort Meade,
United States fish hatcheries, United
States reclamation project at Belle
Fourche and the DEVILS tower over
the line in Wyoming. These trips are
to be made for the tourist trade es-
.pecially and to be under the regulation
and supervision of the Deadwood Bust
ness club. The railroads are to be
asked to take a hand in disseminating
advertising matter in the east and
a start is to be made to build up the
Black Hills as a summer resort

any water t any extent that there is
a larger number of native" birds than
ever. There is always pretty fair
shooting for a week or e days after
the opening OF the season, but the
home grown birds are killed off in
that time and then it is necessary for
the hunter to wait for the flight of
the northern birds for the south seek
ing winter quarters.
The coming season will probably
see more hunters than ever after the
birds and, judging from the reports
that are being received in this part
of the state of the great number OF
ducks on the lakes and sloughs, they
will have some royal sport.
Almost any little body of water in
this part of South Dakota is said to
be literally infested with ducks. The
reason given for the great number
this year is the ideal weather condi-
lions that have existed this spring
and summer for the propagation OF
water fowl.
Already the hunters are oiling vi
their shooting irons and a few in this
county have already purchased theil
uniting licenses.

STATE DEPOSITS.

The total combined individual de-
posits in the state and national banks
doing business in South Dakota. at
call of condition on the Goth day of
June showed $79,269 II, says a Pierre
dispatch. This is a reduction of 49,
626, 1894 from the showing of the
same funds on the call of March 30.
This reduction is no doubt from the
Withdrawals of cash for farming oper-
atoms as the state banks show a re-
duction of over three million in their
checking accounts and the nationals
show a reduction of about two mil
lion, while the saving accounts, and
the time certificates themselves a
species of savings, show an increase.
The decrease will no doubt be wiped
out by the time of another report,
when the farmers will be getting re-
turns from this seasons work.
By far the heaviest deposits are
shown in the 4S2 state banks operat-
ing in the state, and they were carry
ing $50, 545, 1851; while the national
banks were carrying s2S, 1913, 1906.
While the state banks show a de-
crease of three million dollars in their
checking accounts they show an in
crease of $131 900 in their direct saw
ings accounts and over a million in
their time certificates. The national
banks show savings accounts of a
million and a quarter dollars and the
state banks of nearly two million
dollars. These figures include only
individual deposits, such as checking
accounts, certificates of deposit and
savings accounts, and do moi attempt
to show the deposits OF banks with
one another, or the deposits Of the
government. The showing is a good
one for a state with the population
OF South Dakota, but will be much
better after the marketing of crops
and the deposits Of the millions
which the farmers will receive for
grain and live stock sold this year.

AUDITOR FILES p o

State Auditor Hirning in mis- letter
of transmittal in his forthcoming re-
port TO the governor calls attention
to the fact that the report this year
will be in three volumes, two contain
ing itemized accounts of all state Of
ficials and employees, and the third
proceedings of the state equalization
board work and the abstract of as
sessments. OF the finances, he says:
The financial condition of the state
during the past fiscal year has stead
lily improved. On June 80, 1909, the
net Indebtedness of the state amount
ed to S54S,417. On June so, 1910 this
was reduced to $374,912, a decrease
of $174,505: and with the increase of
the state revenues during the next
year, due to the increase of assess
ment as we'll as from other sources
of revenue, this item should be almost
wiped out at the close of the next
fiscal year"
On assessment and taxation, he
says: The assessment laws of the
state are very defective. Under the
present system millions of dollars in
personal property, particularly mon
eys and credits, escape taxation each
ear. The total amount of money list
ed for taxation by the various coun-
ties of the state during the year 1916
is 1853, 607, and in credits, $543,O93
while the examiners reports show
about $50, 900, 900 deposited in the
banks of the state"
OF telephones he takes the position
that the of taxing them is
not equitable, and that the law should
be amended, which he shows in the
GLOWING statement:
Under the present system OF ia,
levy on telephone companies this class
OF property does not bear it's JUS
portion of taxation compared with
other property located in the same
taxing district. Under the law the
state board now levies a tax on this
class of property equal to the average
AK levy for all purposes in the variou.
counties of the state. This average:
from twenty-five to tw~enty-eight mills
Most of the property Of the larger
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1910-09-01

companies is located in the larger cit
les. where the levy ranges from fifty
TO sixty mills. For example, the Ne
braska Telephone company, which OPP
crates in the counties of Butte, Gus
ter, Lawrence, Mead and Pennington,
is assessed for 1910 at 1894 OF
this assessment, $43, 075 is located in
the cities of Deadwood, Lead and Rap
id City, and the balance in the small
er towns and in the country. Under
the present tax levy, which is twenty
eight mills, this company pays 5 1896
81 in taxes. The average tax levy in
Lead, DeadWoOd and Rapid City is
about sixty-five mills, and in the other
territory thirty-fve mills, so that the
tax on other property of like value
in the three cities mentioned amounts
to $2,369.13, and in the other taxing
districts to $924.S4, or a total OF
$3,2S3.S7, while the tax on telephone
property of the same value amounts
to only 81, 1851"
AS to the express companies, he
says: THE assessment of express
companies has beer the hardest prob
lem for the board to solve. These
companies have very little tangible
property in the state, but take a large
amount of out the state each year in
earnings. BY taking their earning
power into consideration, the board
has placed on their property what it
considers a fair assessment, and al
THOUGH they pay what l consider a
small tax considering their earnings,
the American Express company I'M
Wells, Fargo & Co. express have re-
fused to pay their taxes for 1909, and
the matter is now in court"
