"The state could well afford to bond
for 100000 to push this necessary
work along. County road engineers

basis (not elected locally) and report

sponsible for all roads in the state.
If each citizen will dc his duty this
winter, and urge on the Legislature the
necessity for good roads legislation,
we can hasten the day when North
Dakota will be the great garden spot
she is destined to become and when
the tourist travel alone attracted by
these same good roads, will pay the
interest on every dollar expended for
these same good roads, and will ad-
vertise the marvellous resources and

End. That no tract or lot in the
City of Williston was assessed by the
City Assessor of the City of Williston

3rd. That on Wednesday, July
oath, 1912, the Board of County CON-
missioners passed a resolution lowar-
ing the assessment on City lots, ex~
elusive of structures and improve
ments, in the City of Williston 20 per-

4th. That the reduction Of 20 per-
cent by the Board of County Cora
missioners in the assessed value Of
city lots in the City Of Williston was
made without sufficient evidence that
the respective tracts assessed by the
Assessors were assessed above their
true and full value.
1t is therefore ordered that the as.

to the assessment of city lots in tSc
City of Williston, as the same was

PLAN TOHAVE
FINE EXHIBIT
WILL DISPLAY PURE SEED AT
TRI-STATE GDOWERs' CON.
VENTlON AT FARGO

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 7.-Accordinf
to present plans Of Professor H. L
Bolley of the agricultural college h<
hopes to make the pure seed exhibit
at the Tri-State Grain Growers con.
vention here the neatest display Of
high class seed which can be seen
in any region.
~ am pleased to note that aside
from the very liberal prizes which
called attention to as being offered
for the best one-half bushel Of vari-
GUS types Of cereal grains to be ex-
hibited at the corn show during the
grain growers convention week" !"
says Professor Bolley, "there have
been added cash prizes amounting to
something over 500 to be given in
the interests of bronze grass seed,
clover seed, timothy seed, alfalfa and
other forage seeds. I hope to make
the pure seed division Of the corn
show at Fargo during the Tri-State
Grain Growers convention one of the
neatest exhibits of high class seed for
showing purposes which may be seen
in any region.
ANY parties interested in boosting
the development of Pure Seed
Growers association in this state and
in bringing about the actual growing
Of high class seeds for sowing pur-
poses in order that the agriculture of
our state may advance with as rapid
strides as it should, can help this
work along by furnishing small price
to be given in the interest of any
'ne Of the cereal grains or forase
plants Of the state, or they can do
an equal benefit by preparing exhibits
# seed of high class purity and high
terminating power to be placed in
he exhibit.
Those wishing to enter this con-
est should write to me, stating the
'inds Of seeds they wish to exhibit,
nd will gladly furnish specific in
ormation concerning the same.
1.-THE contest calls for the ten best
ars of corn, the best on half bushel
t any one Of the cereals and the best
eek Of seed Of any one Of the forage
rops. Remember, however, that
here Is no object in making an ex-
ibit unless you have raised . good
uantity Of the same kind Of stuff
'hich is for sale. There is no object {
giving somebody q prize for one
aH bushel Of wheat If that il all Of
lat particular quality which he pro- :
aeed. All should prepare 10 vi. ths
risss."

A BOOST FOR
W1LLISTON
G. N. NOW BUILDING AT SNOW.
DEN-WILL CONNECT WILL.
LISTON WITH SIDNEY,
MONT, AND MCKENZIE
.. COUNTY

That Williston will have another
road is an assured fact. The Graat
Northern have already begun the con-
struction of q bridge at Snowdon.
Montana, and graders are now at
work grading the line from Sidney,
Montana, to Snowdon. Snowdon is q
siding just west Of Mondak. The
Great Northern will also build west
from Newton, in Dawson county, Mon
tana and east from Sidney in McKea-
zie county, N. D., this fall, and n
all probalities will be able to haul out
this years crop from both Of these
places. This will be . wonderful lift
to Williston as it will enable the
Great Northern to run q train from
Williston to Sidney, and from there
to local points in Mckenzie county
and eastern Montana. The right Of
way is being purchased and hundreds
of men, teams and steamshovels are
now being pushed into the Yellow
stone Valley for the purpose Of get-
ting the work done before the snow
flies. The material is already on
hand at Snowden for the temporary
bridge. The trains will cross on this
bridge this fall and dur
ing the winter the steel bridge will be
built. This means that Williston will
be the distributing point for all Nc.
Kenzie county, and the eastern half
IF Montana. The Great Northern
road from Williston to Snowdon will
eventually be double tarcked.

SION OF LEVY-RESTORED
BY COMMISSION-LOWER
ED BY STATE

Williston citizens are always in
terested in taxes and assessments and
the action of the State Tax Commis-
sion regarding the Williston assess
ment will doubtless be of interest to
all. We publish below a letter re
ceived by Mayor Jackson from L. F..
Birdzell of the Tax Commission to-
gether with the minutes of the meet
ing of the commission when acting up
on the Williston assessment. The let
ter and proceedings follow:
Bismarck N. D., Sept. 4, 1912.
Hon. J. w. jackson,
Williston, North Dakota.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of August 3Oth is at
hand. Your idea rs to what was done
with the Williams County assessment
Of town and city lots is approximately
correct. You will see by the enclosed
order that the Tax Commission REIN
stated the valuation of city lots in
the City of Williston as the same was
left by the city Board of Equaliza-
ton. This order was certified to the
State Board Of Equalization and the
State Board Of Equalization finding
that the assessment of town and city
lots in Williams County was out of
proportion to the assessment on the
same item in other counties, reduced
the valuation IL 1-2 per cen+, that
is, the IL 1-2 per cent cut in so far
as it effects the City of Wi!liston, is
from the valuation as left by the City
Board of Equalization.
The per cent raise on improve
ments was also made by the State
Board Of Equalization and was made
because, in its judgment, improve.
ments in Williams County were below
the average Of various counties in the
state.
The State Board Of Equalization in
raising and lowering the various item.
as the same are returned by the Iiffer-
ent counties, act largely on their
Of conditions IN The ar
ious parts Of the state, on the showing
made by representatives Of different
and assessment districts, and
IN the result Of comparisons between
from year to year. If
'ou will go the County Auditors Of
Ice and look at his copy Of the a5-
tract Of assessment for 1911, COM
'are it with the abstract Cor 1912 and
|ote the changes that we've made By
he State Board Of Equalization in
Oil, you will see variations which,,
n the face Of the returns, called fer
ONE action by the board in 1912 If
right balance was to be preserved
rovided the variations were not ex-
lained by changes in local cond. TORS.
Trusting that these suggestions will
nable you to gain a clear under
landing Of the matter, am

LIBRARY HAS
MADE GOOD
STATISTICS SHOW WILLISTON
LIBRARY EQUAL TO OLDER
ONES-AMONG LEADERS

1t has been suggested to the Il
brarian that the fairest way to give
an estimate Of what the library has
accomplished the past year is to give
some comparative statistics, showing
what other libraries in North Dakota
have been doing along the same lines.
The figures given below for compar-
ison are taken from the reports for
1910-1911 in the case Of the other IL
braries, and from the 1911-1912 report
for our own library, but when it is
remembered that this library has had
little over a year Of growth the COM
parison is reasonable, as all others
are older Libraries.
The present number Of borrowers
in each 100 Of the population 10 %
in Devils Lake, "a in Dickinson, lS in
Fargo, so in Grafton, 1S in Grand
Forks, 81 In jamestown, 50 in Minot,
81 in Valley City, and 80 in Williston.
The number Of books loaned to each
borrower; found by dividing the years
circulation by the number Of borrow
ers enrolled, is 13 in Devils Lake, 24
in Dickinson, 3.s in Fargo, IL In Graf
ton, 11.2 in Grand Forks, 8.l in James
town, 81 in Minot, 4.2 in Valley City,
and 1873 in Williston.
The amount Of non-fiction in each
LOO books circulated is 18 in Devils
Lake, 81 in Dickinson, 10 in Fargo,
22 in Grand Forks, II in jamestown,
Is in Minot, IA in Valley City and 2l
