such holding on the part of the

State Lands Appraised
South Dakota "Forties"
Will Range from SIS to
SIS An Acre.

The appraisal work of state
lands, which will be offered Tor
sale this spring, has been COM
pleted. This appraisal figures
range from SIS an acre down to
SIS an acre on forty-acre tracts
which will be offered. In the
past the appraisement has been
made to a certain extent on
general prices and conditions in,
the vicinity where the lands are
located, but this year each forty
acre trac. is treated as standing
by its self, and while the good
land are held up at a good figure,
the poor land gets the low APP
praisement. This will mean a
somewhat lower average ap-
praisment than former years,
but the returns from the sale
will no doubt keep up the record,
as the best lands are the ones
most likely to be taken.

Auditor Ray was 10 attendance.
He reports a most interesting
meeting. We understand that a
strong effort was made to put
in force the existing law which
provides that all property shall
be assessed at it's true cash value
but that the proposition was
voted down by a decided ma:iori-
ty, those opposed to the proposit-
ion evidently being afraid that
their county would lose some
advantage by having the law
enforced. This is one of the
strange and contradictory condit-
ionsthat arise in the enforcement

Bills in Last Congress At

committee in the last congress.
One of them authorizes the secre-

The other measures were as fol-
lows:
Giving authority to remove
Goa! land reservations on patents
issued to homesteaders where it
is d scovered that no coal existed
previously.
Fer the forfeiture of rights of
way over Indian land where such
rights of way have been left un-
used for an unreasonable length
of time.
Giving the secretary of the in
terror discretionary powers to pay
money due Indians or Indian ap-
preparations to be made out of

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT

1t seems to the STANDARD that
the matter of planting trees and
beautifying are city is one that
should appeal to every citizen.
We do not refer to the annua!
spring cleaning or the advantages
to be derived from it sanitary
way, all of which is vast i'm
provement, but more particularly
to work of a permanent charact-
er.
The matter of planting trees
along all Of the streets of the
city is one of the prime import
ance, and is really the first step
to take. There should be suf-
ficint number of trees along each
street in the city, and the time
to start at an improvement of
this sort is now, because if we
do n 1t make a start at it, nothing
will ever be accomplished. In
this connection and in view of
the fact that doubtless many
trees will be planted along the
street this spring, it is we'll to
bear in mind the provisions Of
the ordinance of this city relative
to the building of side walks and
the planting Of trees and the
improvement of the streets in
the residence portion Of the city.
The ordinances provide that all
side walks in the residence part
of the city shall be four feet
wide and laid two feet from the
property line; trees that are
planted in the street are to be
nine feet from the property line
or three feet otuside of such side
walk, and the cur of the street
is 163 feet or exactly one rod
from the property line. leaving a
road way to be worked on each
street in the residence part of the
city of 33 feet in width. In or
der to get trees started and have
them make a satisfactory
growth, it is first necessary to
break up the wild sod along the
street and let it lie in that
condition or plant it to some crop
and it will be ready for trees the |
succeeding year. We think that
provisions should be made, as
stated for the planting of trees
along all of the streets, and if
this is done it will be necessary
to provide for the planting of
trees in front of the property of
nonresident owners and perhaps
others who may be careless or
Indifferent about such improve
