ISOLATION may be offered them that was
given the fellow who was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to be hanged,

Able advocates are Messrs. Adams,
Hunt and McFadden, and they told
their stories well. Of course, when
pinned down on certain points, the
gentlemen, not as attorneys, but as
good citizens of the state, admitted
there were gross inequalities in the
returns made by the assessors and that
the tax laws of North Dakota are very
crude.
Many Of the counties fixed the ap-
praisment on bank stock, surplus and
undivided profits at thirty per cent
of their actual value, counting all the
bank stock at par. They could not
take into account the fact that much
Of this bank stock is worth $3.50 for
charge off their real estate which in.
PRODUCES another complication. In most
states the only real estate banks may
legally hold is their bank site, but in
North Dakota they carry much farm

assessed as a cash asset WHEN '.portel
for taxation, although it is reported
as such to the bank examiner.
In 1910 the banks of the state were
assessed at $3,750,945. Forty new
banks have been established in the
state and subject to taxation since
1910.

Peter Hoffman, of Spirit Lake
township, is feeling good over secur'
ing a fine deep we'll on his farm.
The we'll was completed Tuesday and
is 1903 feet deep. 1t is a 3 inch cas'
ing for $40 feet and a 2 inch casing
from that to the bottom. The drill
went through twenty-five feet of sand
rock. Water m to within a short
distance of the top, but the pump
cyclinder was placed down about 200
feet and a 12-ft windmill attached.
Norbeck & Nicholson did the work
and they tell Mr., Hoffman that if he
can run his pump day and night for
thirty days in succession and pump
the we'll dry it will not cost him a
cent. The cost of the we'll will be
close 10 81, 10000, but such a well is
worth all kinds Of money when it is
located where water has been scarce
before. Mr.. Hoffman is happy I'VE

made, but it is just as well that the
taxpayers get something in return
and that it be known the county
will not stand for a ''snap" or give
something for nothing.
Present indications are that
there will be more small grain in this
territory than many thought two
weeks ago would be harvested. Many
have said there would not be nearly
enough for seed. From what we can
learn we believe there will be more
than wheat enough for seed, and
nearly enough oats. 1t is doubtful if
enough barley will be harvested to
seed the usual acreage next spring.
The wheat harvest has already com
menced. j. w. Barkalow was cutting
wheat on the r. A. Rounseville place
in Mathews the first of the week, and
others have already started.

ment of the state. Of late years
competition has been so keen that
mills all over the country try to place
their product in every town, depend
ing upon the prejudice of the people
against this brand or that brand to
work up some trade for their own.
This is the case at Volga, and the
sale of any quantity of outside -four
made it almost impossible for the
local mill to exist. And right there
is where the merchants of Volga got
together and showed the true spirit
when they decided to handle nothing
bet the home product. The -four
made at Volga is just as good as that
made at any other mill and the mer-
chants have taken a wise course in
standing by the home institution.
