LISTED VALUATION
Boards Assessment Nearly
Eight Times Accepted Fig

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 12.-Another i'm
portant event in the campaign of the
state tax commission for more equit-
able taxes has been recorded by the
board doubling the returns made from
Lawrence county on the property of
the Homestake Mining company. AL
though members of the commission
made a trip to Lawrence county, the
best they could get the county board
there to do was to fix a valuation of
approximately $1,000, 900. The commits
sion a raised the valuation, on its
own authority, to $751; 00, 900. Last year
the Homestake valuation was approx
mately So, 900, 900.
Residents of Lawrence county, in pro-
tests made against the inequitable val
nation of the Homestake, submitted
figures showing the company to have
about SIG, 900. 900 of bonds outstanding,
N addition to valuation evidences not
included in these bonds. The company
has consistently paid large dividends
IN this valuation.
The contention had been raised that
pertain officials OF the Homestake have
been active in Lawrence county poll
Hes and h a the company, for that
reason, exercised political Influence In
the county resulting in continual IA

ABOUT PROVISIONS
FOR DUCK SHOOTING
Law Likely to Be Proclaimed by
President in Spite of Vari-

Pierre. S. D., Aug. 11.-Game Warden
Hedrtck has returned from the Omaha
meeting, called by the government to
consider the game law, known as the
Weeks-McLean law, passed March 4,
to be in force upon presidential proc
lamation, which cuts off all shooting
Of migratory birds along the Mfssis-
sippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers, except
for November and December, such
months being practically useless In
these northern states. i
Considerable protest was entered at
the meeting about these portions of the
federal law, but the government au-
thorities claimed it was necessary to
Nep such fowl from becoming extinct.
The Mississippi hunters claim that
with river shooting gone. they have
practically none, for all the private in
shore preserves are now taken In thai
country by clubs and wealthy men.
The Missouri region is not so much
affected. because this condition does
not exist so largely. The closed hours
for all seasons, from sunset to sunrise,
also give much dissatisfaction, because
this cuts off the early morning and
evening shooting, which Is best of all.

HUNGRY MICE CAUSE
BURGLARY ALARM AT CARTER

Parker, S. D., Aug. 12.-Banker F.
c. Danforth, of the Citizens bank, was
aroused yesterday morning in an ex-
cited frame of mind by the warning
peal of the burglar alarm of his bank,
which is connected with his home. AS
Stunning that burglars were at work a
posse was secured and a movement
launched to effect a capture. When
the members OF the posse reached the
building, however, there were no indi-
cations of human disturbance at the
institution. 1t is supposed that mice
in some way d~isarranged the wire in
sulation and caused the alarm.

OCEAN SEA GULlS

Miller. S. D., Aug. 12.-sea
gulls of the genuine ocean type
surprised harvesters 20 miles
north of here by flying in upon
them by the thousands. The
birds would follow the headers
and catch the grasshoppers as
the machine would scare them
out of the grain. They would
tarry and fly around from 10
o'clock in the forenoon until
4 o'clock in the afternoon, when
presumably on account Of the
heat they would go far up in
the sky and sail about, almost
out of view, when they would
again come down and follow
the machines until towards
dark. finally flying away to a
lake nearby for the night, COM
ing back the next morning to
follow the headers until the
heat of the day, when again
they would ascend to the cooler
air above. The harvesters and
others in that vicinity took
great interest in watching the
odd habits of these water birds
that had drifted oat on the
prairies.
