or WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties OF friendship exist.
Ing between the United States ana
Canada were dwelt upon In addresses
by Premier Robert Il. Borden. OF Cam
ada, and Governor SulEer, AZ the ans
nual dinner Of the University Club OF
Albany.
Canada and the United States
said Premier Borden, have q common
heritage In the language, the Iitera,
ture, the laws. the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men Of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles OF
u~ndefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect Of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow Of each nation the Ian
rel of n hundred years OF peace. re
matters not so much as 20 the form
of the outward celebration, but let us
hope that it's full Significance may
sink deep Into the hearts of both na-
tons, and that, whether north or south
OF the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reyerent heads, Offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
OF peace, and earnest prayers that In
the Century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly AMI
mate the ideals and aspirations Of both
nations
Referring t. the natural
possessed by the United States. and
Canada, particularly along the ct
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
@Great Canadian Northwest is designed
TO become, before long. the granary OF
North America"
Many OF our best citizens, regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leay-
Ing the States OF the west and going

OF the fertility OF its soil, the lib.

we should extend to them q help.
Ing hand in their onward march OF
progress, Instead Of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion,
we should open them wider and do
everything in u power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want

SAYS THAT
NEW VALUATION PLAN
WILL MEET APPROVAL
Higher Valuation Of Property
Does Not Mean Taxation
.s Will Be Higher.

Sioux Falls, S. ID, April 2s--Express-
ing entire satisfaction with the work OF
the newly created tax commission,
Governor Byrne, who is spending a few
days In the city. In an interview de-
.clares that the board win meet with
be far more satisfactory than the old
system.
THE tax commission win work out
all right" said the governor. They do
not intend to turn the world over, but
will see to IL that the assessors en-
force the law. 1t is not necessary to
increase taxes because the assessed
valuations are raised. The state funds
are not raised by a percentage tax on
the valuation but in a lump sum. and
the increase in valuation would con-
seqlently reduce the rate.
Those who fear that the increase
In valuations will increase the taxes,
should know that or all OF the taxing
districts In Minnehsha county, only
two reached the limit allowed by law
last year. II they didn't reach the
limit with the low valuations there
ls no reason why they should with the
high valuations.
$50 far as the equities OF the case
are concerned, the situation is not diff
ferent IL the property Is assessed at
half, a third or fun valuation, provfd-
ed 1t is uniform. and all property is
taxed. Heretofore assessors fixed a
certain arbitrary valuation OF property
n did not obey the law and conse-
quently had no real uniform standard
2of assessment. -
'sAnother trouble heretofore has
been that with from 1900 to 1000 as
sessors in the state, there has been,
no general head and each acted inde-
pendently. There was no unifying In
huence to direct them. The act Great
ing the tax commission does not
change the law on taxation, but pro-
vtdes means for a proper administra-
had, by creating a body to supervise
the assessors and taxing officers.

that the place Of sending male prison

was made to Leayenworth, The prison
in this city is not large enough to
accommodate government prisoners, as
the state alone now keeps IL filled to
its capacity. The change from Leav-

due TO the fact that there is a lack
OF room at Leavepworth. No change
was made In the disposition of female
prisoners, who in future as 10. the past

rooned on an island In the Missouri
river for a period OF more than as
hours during the recent high water,
Frank Philbrick, his wife and baby

dead from exhaustion and exposure.

and baby to a platform he had built
between four trees. the platform being
about 10 feet above the ground.
There Philbrfck and his wife and
baby were exposed for a part of the
time. and with the fear that the rising
water which flowed swiftly under the
platform would rise sufficiently to en-
gulf them and sweep them away. When
matters were at the critical functure
persons living on the adjacent shore
of the river discovered ths predicament

Journey through the swollen and Ice
damned river, succeeded in rescuing
Philbrick and his family.
