Why have we done as well as we
have with all the bad dispositions
with which we have had to con-
tend?
The first good move was the
organization of the La Jara Build
ing and Loan Association and the
stockholders stood together and
made it possible for a person to
own their own home. After a run
of eight years the association has
loaned to people that wished to
make this their home something
like $4,000, and it is all invested
in homes and business houses in
our town.
We have heard some complaints
on the tax assessment for 1910 and
a kick on the high tax levy. Does
anyone think for moment that
they can build and improve town
on hot air? If so, they must look
for another location far removed
from La Jara. We hold there has
been no boosting of valuations, on
the contrary, valuations are well
below the one-third mark. We are
informed that the assessor in
structed his deputy to request the
mayor to appoint two trustees to
meet with him for the purpose of
appraising realty and improve
ments within the corporate limits
of the town. In accordance with
the request the Hon. Mayor and
Trustee G. l.. Smith acted as
appraisers and the tax valuations

the second town of the county, we
ask a little space in your valuable

view TO setting forth few facts in

look over the abstract of valuations
as published by our county assessor
will find our taxable property to
be S1l7 ,235, which makes us second
only to Alamosa in wealth, and
there is no good reason why we
should not hold the place on the
map we have acquired. All that
is needed is to get together. We
have the land, the water and the

of the latter to make our town

ten years. But this cannot be

with their appraisment. The taxes
seem higher this year because in
order to raise funds for street

our trustees voted a town tax of

contemplated Improvements, We
don't want it understood that we

been better to have submitted to
property owners the question of a

HAS NUMBERED THE STARS
Dutch Astronomer Says There Are
About s4A, 100000, and Who
Shall Contradict Him.

A tremendous task, that of count
ing the stars up to the nineteenth
magnitude, has been undertaken by
the Dutch astronomer, Professor Kap-
teyn, who has collected all the mate
rial furnished by the most recent dis
coveries, notably those from the Amer
lean observatories.
Stars of less size than the four
teenth magnitude are found in mil
millions in the milky way, and the
work of counting them from photo
graphic plates can best be described
as similar to counting blood cor
puscles under microscope
Professor Kapteyn places the total
at $40, 100000 stars, the average being
20,4 stars to the square degree Of
the heavens. He has further calcus
lated that the total light emanating
from all the stars is equal to 1884
times the luminosity of a star of the
first magnitude.
According to the Dutch scientist the
boundaries of the universe, as far as
human science has been able to pene-
trate, extend to 900 light years.

The following taken from a Miles
City, Mont, paper is of interest to
our readers:
"a business project now under way
that will mean much for Miles City is
the proposed building of a factory for
the manufacture of steel c~ulverts and
fumes. 1t is a field in which the local
manufacturer has the big manufacture
ers of the east at a disadvantage on
account of the bulky nature of the
product and a home enterprise will
have little to fear from outside compe
titiOn.
"One of the leading spirits in the
enterprise is Mr.: Fl. I. Standby, of
Hope, North Dakota, a sheet metal
manufacturer of long experience who
recently sold his business there and
came to Montana in search of a field
for this new line of industry. He has
interested the Field Brothers of this
city in the project and the initial steps
have been taken for the organization
of a company that will specialize on
fumes and culverts and also do .

The report gives the Red river val

and quantity as you travel westward,
until in some portions Of the slope

be produced. Hay, flax and corr are
good the state over. The unfortunate
and unusual drought conditions in
the central and western portions are
responsible for the falling off in their

North Dakota's
Industrial Show
Will Open in Bismarck Sept
Goth, and Continue for
Twenty Days.

People generally do not realize the
Importance or grasp the magnitude of
North Dakota's first Industrial Ex-
position which is scheduled to occur
at Bismarck September 26th to Octo-
Der 10Th.
Heretofore the Department of Agri-
culture, under direction of Commits
sioner Gilbreath, has each year care
fully selected an extensive exhibit of
the states industries and resources;
this exhibit has been displayed at
land and industrial shows and state
fairs in all parts Of the country.
While the results of these yearly
exhibits abroad have been highly sat-
isfactory, MIR. Gilbreath conceived the
idea Of holding In Industrial show in
North Dakota, in an endeavor to have
an absolutely complete display and
exhibit of all resources-industrial
and otherwise-of the state, so that
the outside world may have an oppor-
tunity to see and know why North
Dakota has developed into one of the
greatest agricultural states in the
Union.
In order that the reader may CLEAN
somesidea of the size and scope of
this exposition, attention is directed
to the fact that than $50, 600 will
be expended in premiums and the
general expense of conducting the ex-
position. Every branch of the farm
ing industry will be recognized and
every resource of the state will be
portrayed. In addition to the extern
sive exhibits there will be demonstra-
tions OF the very latest improved
machinery; there will be interesting
and instructive lectures and several
days of farm institute work; there
will be a wide range of entertainment
for the visitors at the exposition
building, and in addition to this the
city of Bismarck, through it's CONNER
clal club, is preparing to entertain
extensively during the entire twenty
days Of the exposition. A great white
way of electrical illumination will be
installed: there will be civic and in
dustrial parades, free street acts and
carnival features, ball games, auto
mobile races and minor sports.
The railroads of the state, realizing
the benefits to be derived from an ex-
position such as planned for North
Dakota, have offered to transport,
free of charge, all exhibits and premi-
ums, and will do much toward giving
