TURNER COUNTY BANK
DEPOSITS ARE RECORD

Hurley. S. D.-Figures compiled
here in reference to the bank depos-
its of the county show that Turner
county is one of the wealthy counties
of the ate. The deposits of the
banks Of the county, as shown by
the last public statements which
they were required to make, aggfe-
gated $2.702,401. This is AN in
crease of S4l1,24o over the deposits
at this time last year, or eighteen
per cent. The acreage bank deposit
for each man, woman and child in
Turner county is S195. The aver
age bank deposit for each person in
the state is Slab, so the per capita
deposits of Turner county are far
ahead of the per capita deposits of
the state. The increase in loans car
ried by the banks OF Turner county
has beef in about the same proper
ton as the increase in deposits dur
ing the past eight years, the amount
OF loans reported at this time being
$~2,290,450. There are fifteen banks
in the county. and their present paid
up capital is $464,673. an increase
of nearly 100000 during the past
eight years. In view of this show
ing the residents OF Turner county
claim TO be in the lead OF those OF
any other county in the state in the
per capita wealth of its inhabitants

|S12,5oo IN SPECIAL
FUND FOR SCHOOLS

Pierre, S. D.-The state land de-
padtment is today distributing to
schools in counties with a large am
cunt OF endowment land within their
borders. 1~2,467.32, out of the spec
ial fund provided fol hat purpose
by the last legislature. This goes to
297 different school districts in the
State in sums varying from fifty
cents to one school in Kingsbury
county, up to the limit of $3.50 to
each OF two schools, one in McPher-
son county, the other in Marshall.
The greatest number of schools in
any one county to secure benefits is
forty in Mcpherson, with Day next
with twenty-five. The largest amount
going to any II county is ~$1lS3.S2
| which goe to Mcpherson, and the
| smallest fifty cents to Kingsbury.
This fund is in compensation OF
state endowment lands being held in
the name of the state, which does not
allow their taxation, and in some
districts so large a per centage of the
land is held in this way as to hamper
the school distrists in securing funds
from the property which can be taxed
in their districts.

ADDED TO LIST
THAT MUCH NEW PROPERTY Is
FOUND IN STATE UNDER OP-
GRAFTON OF STATE TAN
COMMISSION.

Pierre, S. D.-New property to the
amount OF more than SAL 600. 000 is
shown to have been placed upon the
tax rolls at-the assessment this year
this not including new real estate
placed pom the list for the first
time-but is principally added ass
essnlents upon corporate property
and the increase in moneys and cred
its which was secured by i%nsistence
on the part of the tax commission for
compliance with the laws of the state
IN regard such assessments. This addi-
ton to the assessment lists means
that the state evenu from this
source in the levy of one mill will be
s. 1,665.53, and on an average rate
of eight mills for general tax levies
outside the state levy would mean an
addition to the revenue of the var-
lous taxing districts of the state to
the amour OF $3S1,324.
The members of the commission
at the present are busy shaping up
the new assessment forms which will
be used by assessors neXt ear, and
which will be following forms used in
states where tax commission have
charge OF the work, and probably will
show a number of changes from the
old forms.-The new forms will be.
ready for the public printer by the
LIST of January. and will be let at the
biddinss the last of January.

MATCH; AUTO BURNS

gasoline was leaking from some part
OF the machine. He got under the

the car was on fire and it was with
the greatest difficulty that Soulek
escaped with his life. The entire car,

the front wheels, was consumed by
