that the Democrats. who will conduct the

thing like 100000 annually.

STILL ANOTHER
ADDITION TOCITY

X. j Martyr and Fred G..
Huntington, Aberdeen parties,
have bought an eight-acre tract
just north of the park of eastern
parties and are plating it for an
addition to Mobridge. Concerning
this latest addition to our city the
Aberdeen Daily News says:
So rapidly has the city of Mo-
bridge grown during the past two
years that urgent need has been
felt for new addition to the plat
ted section. Some builders have
been buying acreage tracts froil
lard owners and going half a mile
beyond available ground for lots.
An eighty" which even now is
practically in town, being only sew
en- blocks up Main street from the
Milwaukee depot, has long been
recognized as the ideal location for
a new addition, but the owners re-
fused to consider offers for the
property. Recently however, two
Aberdeen business men H.
Martyr and Fred q Huntington,
spend couple OF days with the
former owners, eastern people, and
returned with the land and i'm.
mediately began the work of plat
ting and placing the lots on the
market.
There is no Disgusting the fact
that Mobridge is today in the mind
ofinyestors throughout this section
OF tho northwest. The possibility
of Mobridge's seriously riyaling
Aberdeen is subject Of discussion
frequently heard during the day
While Abefdcnians are slow to
admit any such possibility, there
are but few who do not unhesitat-
inely declare that Mobridge is

A GOOD SUGGESTION

r. A. Tanner of Tanner Bros.
is in the city looking after thier
interests here.
Their work for the city is now
complete and was accepted by the
city council Monday evening.
Mr.. Tahaee leaves with us q
very good suggestion, which will
bear careful consideration. A
large tank of perhaps 100000 gal
Ions should be supplied and Kept
filled with water to be used in case
of emergency at times when the
water will have to be turned off
for say two or three days at time
in case of needed repairs. TheU
in case of fire we would have this
reservoir to draw from and the
city would not be entirely without
water to use.
A little agitation along this line
would be q good thing between now
and the time to vote on the bonds

FIND WRECKED AUTO.

Sheriff McLain received word yester-
day afternoon that an auto had run
into ditch yesterday morning near
John Peterson's farm and that a man
was lying on the ground when pass
ersby were unable to arouse him, and
so supposed he was dead.
When the sheriff went out he found
a badly smashed auto in the ditch
and a man that looked very much like
he had just woke up, but he denied
being the party that had the wreck,
but said, however, that he. was a
representative of the same livery at
Lakota and had been sent up there
to look the party up. He claimed the
driver of the car was one Johnson.
Johnson was supposed to have worn
a red necktie and leather QUITO cap.
The man asked for ride back to
town, which he was granted and the
sheriff supposed the matter was set
tied. Later in the day t5:s same man
came to him and asked him which way
the auto was. 1t seems that he had
hired another man and auto to take
him back to the car, but was unable
to tell just where it was and they had
driven considerably out of their way
looking for it and as a last resort
came to the sheriff for directions.
Such proceedings made the matter ap-
pear as if he had been the original
party.

STATE RAILWAYS.

Despite the claim that 1910 was an
Improbable year for the railroads,
reports before the state board Of
equalization show that additional
trackage is appraised for taxation of
379 miles in this state. The Great
Northern is now constructing branch
lines from Fargo to Surrey and from
Stanley to Powers Lake, which will
bring the additional mileage up to
over 500 before the end of the year.
Legal representation of the railway
corporations before the equalization
board put up hard luck stories in an
effort to keep the appraisement OF
railroad property down, but it is
highly improbable that the board will
fix the assessment the same as in
1910.
The Great Northern paid in ttxes in
North Dakota last year the sum of
577,62615, while the Northern Pa
cific paid $3334,o31.oo.
The Puget Sound railway will pay
taxes on 225 miles of new track this
: year. =
The representative of the Chicago,
Milwaukee ad st. Paul road was the
only one who urged a reduction in
taxes this year, claiming that the
earnings of his lines fell off $400, 900
in the state in 1910.

BLACK QPALS.

The gem most sought after in Aus
tralia is the black opal, declares a
writer in the Daily Consular and
Trade Reports. 1t appears in linn
tied quantities in the matrix of iron
stone and sandstone in the Lightning
Ridge district of New South Wales.
1t is estimated that since 1S9 orals
valued at over $5,5o0,0o0 have been
found in the state of New South
Wales. The state of Queensland also
produces many opals, the production
up to the present time amounting to
nearly 100000.
Sapphires rank next among Austria
liam gems in value of production.
They are found in New South Wales
and in Queensland, chiefly in the lat
ter state, in the gravel or creek beds.
The gems show excellent fire and lus-
ter, but the color is darker blue than
the oriental sapphire. In Queensland
the present production amounts to
about $4,000 per year, the total out
put to date being about 100000.
Other precious gems found in di<
ferent parts of Australia include en-
erals, turquoises, topazes, ircons, gar
nets, rubies, amethysts, tourmalines
and beryls. Diamonds are found tn
a limited extent in New South Wales
and in South Australia. In the lat
ter state the total production up to
date has been somewhat over $780,
900. These diamonds found locally
are used mostly for glass cutting,
while South African diamonds are
mostly used in the jewelry trade.
Pearls found in pearl shell fishing
along the northern coast of Australia
are usually small, but their aggregate
value is probably considerable.
