WILL FIX VALUES
State Board Of Assessment Will Put
in Week Figuring

PieTre-The state assessment board
meets today and will put in most of
the week on the assessment of corocr-
ate property. Just what will be done
in the way of changing valuations Of
such property is yet to be developed
or course there will be Slight in
crease in valuations CT telephone oper-
ating sin the state on new companies
which have made returns, but they
are all small companies with a low
valuation, and the increase in that dl-
rection will not be heavy. With the
work of physical valuation OF rail-
ways of the state not yet completed,
and the further fact that a silt IS
pending In the United States court IN
which the question of railway valua-
lions in the state is one of the vital
factors, it is not likely that the board
will make any radical changes in such
valuations for the year. There is no
new mileage to add, and the chances
appear to be that the figures for cor
porate property will nots how any
thing heavy in the way of increases.
Whether or not personal property
valuations will show up any great IN
SledSe uepeHuS UPON me manner III
which assessors have done their work
The personal property assess ment is a
farce at the best, and not much can
be expected from that source. But
there will be an increase of fully ten
million dollars in lands. This is Sc
cured through the assessment of new
lands and the increases on valuations
of lands in the different counties,
which was fixed by the county audit
ors at their meeting last March. The
new lands will show an increase Of
practically five million dollars, and
7 the net increases in assessed valua
tions in lands in the older counties
will show as much more.
The total assessed valuation OF the
state last year was $3.50 100000 For
this year the total is likely to go to
about 100000, but is hardly likely
to reach three hundred million, re-

ty million last year. If the increase
gets up to fifteen million this year it
will be doing better than the indi-
cations at present show for it.

WEATHER MAN TALKS
Chief of Weather Bureau Gives His
Conclusions on Deforestratio


Sioux Falls-At this time, when
conservation is attracting the atten-
ton of the public on every hand, and
especially in South Dakota, it may be
interesting to know that at the sug
gestion Of the committee on agricul-
ture, house of representatives, Prof
Willis L. Moore, chief of the T. S.
weather bureau, made a report on the
influence of the forests on climate and
floods, which report was not long ago
published by the direction of that
committee and should have wide pub
licity, because of its Importance, es-
pecially upon the subject of our for
ests that should be protected, the eff
feet of forest on climate, effect of
forest on rainfall, floods, and drouth
In general, the report is the result
of painstaking and thorough research
on the part of the author who con
cludes that the planting Of forests
does not alleviate extreme floods, ana
in this conclusion admits a change Of
opinion from that which he previo asly
entertained on the subject as re-
suit of his Investigations. Prof
Moore believes that forests should be
protected by the state and nation and
should be economically conserved in
the interests Of the whole people, and
for such purposes as they may serve,
but not under the impression that
they have any effect on foods, and in
this conclusion he is sustained by the
opinions of prominent civil and mil.
tary engineers of our own and foreign
countries.
