New York City. June 28.-In the
person of Lawson Purdy, New York
City has one of the most expert tax
authorities to be found in the United
States. He has made life study of
taxation and is the father of New
York's law which provides that land
values and improvements should be
assessed separately and listed in sep
arate columns of the tax report. This
simple measure was Mr.. Purdy's mas
terpiece of public service. 1t gave New
York a new view of the taxation Of
real estate.
Mr.. Purdy looks more like an en-
minent statesman than the head OF a
tax commission and his education and
culture are those of statesman. He
is a graduate of Trinity College, Har-
ward, the son of a clergyman, and a
man who has made his own way from
the bottom to the top.
Last year. largely through his eff
forts, the department raised the as
sessment Of land values by $500, 1000, 900.

REPORTS Of
N. D. CROP
Banks Of State Make Report
on Conditions
OUTLOOK NEVER BETTER
NOT A SINGLE ADVERSE REPORT
REcElvED-HoT WEATHER HAS
HAD NO BAD EFFECT AND CROP
COULD MATURE WITHOUT AN
OTHER DROP OF RAIN.

In reply to letters sent out from
the First National bank Of tins city,
to various banks over the state all
write that the crops never looked bet
ter and that no damage seems to have
resulted from the hot weather Of the
last few days.
w. w. Scott, cashier Of the First
National bank of Marmarth writes:
The crops in the vicinity of Marmarth
are above par as we have had timely
rains, all Of this month. only last night
getting rain that soaked the ground
at least ten inches. The smaller grains
are stooled better or as good as / have
ever seen them in the Red river VAL
ley, and with the ground soaked as
It is now, even should we not get an
other drop of rain, we would get a
good crop in our whole vicinity
From Westhope, w =. Mum of the
Peoples State bank. writes: we oon-
slider the present conditions very sat
isfactory, as we have been receiving
considerable rain since May Is"
Harry Lord of the First National
bank or Cando writes: Crop condi-
tons around Cando are excellent. We
had four and one-half inches Of rain
this month. The hay crop is excel
lent. There is lots Of corn being grown
this year, and the corn fields are look
ing fine.''
l.. w. Miller of the Farmers State
bank of Harvey. says: Crop condi-
tons here are better than they have
been for years at this time"
From Balfour word comes that the
crops are at present looking well.
A letter from Minot reads as en-
eouraging as the rest: "The crop
conditions around Minot at this time
are excellent The soil is not at all
dry, as we had plenty of moisture be-
fore the recent hot spell and have had
q splendid rain since" In reply TO an
Inquiry concerning the corn the let
ter goes on to say that, Our efforts
toward the raising Of corn have had
quite a noticeable effect ond there is
two or three times as much corn put
out than ever before"
The localities heard from are widely
separated and it is probable that
these reports speak for a large portion
of the state. No discouraging letters
have been received as yet.

standing that it is conceded that the
findings upon the facts by the depart-
ment are conclusive.
1T is the intention of the department
to proceed at once to a final determine
alton Of all the remaining Alaskan
coal claims SO far as this can properly
be done denying those that should be
denied, and granting those that should
be granted as rapidly as possible.
Commissioner bennett in his decision
holding the claims for cancellation on
the ground of fraud declares that each
of thirty three entries was improperly
allowed because of fatal defects appar-
ent on their face. He asserts that gov-
eminent conclusively established charge
brought against the claimants and that
there is no doubt but that an agree
ment existed among them i'm viola
ton OF law. The thirty three claims
involved amounted to an aggregate
area OF $3.50 acres. The value of the
land has been estimated high in the
millions The coal embraced in the
claims is said to be among the finest
in the world. The government charged
against Cunningham and his assoc
ciates that their entries Of coal land
standing and agreement, entered into
by all the claimants prior to the Local
ton to combine the several claims for
the joint use and benefit Of all. 1t was
further claimed that the entries were
made with the unlawful purpose that
they should insure to the use and bene-
fit of an association or corporation.
After reviewing all the facts brought
out at various trials and hearings Ia
the cases extending over a period Of
several years and including the final
hearing recently amended by Fisher
himself. bennett reached the conclusion
that the claims had no legal standing
and ordered them cancelled. Secretary
Fisher promptly approved this find
ing although to complete the record he
must do so formally upon an appeal TO
him.
