Washington, Oct. 25.-One Of the

health service pronounced, after a
meteorological examination, to be
nothing less than diluted sewage.

Tax Commission
Paying It's Way
REVENUE FROM NEW ASSESS.
ABLE PROPERTY IN SINGLE
COUNTY IS NEARLY $4,000.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 23.-The state
tax commission has completed the as
sessment of leased railroad sites and
escaped property in Barnes county.
While the field work has been done in
many counties the taxes have just
been received from some of the rail-
road companies and the work of Sc.
curing the description and area Of
each leased business site on the right
of1way of railways has been completed
and totals made for Barnes county.
In Barnes county alone the escaped
property which will be placed upon
the tax rolls by order Of the commits
sion amounts to $279,17S. As the av-
erage tax rate for Barnes is approx
mately S per cent, this means an &C
tual new revenue to the various tax
ing districts in that county for next
year Of $13,915.00 This revenue, Of
course, is an estimate, as the property
may be raised or lowered by the var
ious boards next year and the average
rate is by no means an absolute guam
tity.
The total Of $243,503 is the assessed
valuation Of leased sites which have
hitherto escaped taxation. This means
a net income of better than $4,000 to
the revenues of the county. OF the re-
mainder, $2S,s75 is church property,
which the commission is placing upon
the tax rolls. 1t does not include any
property used exclusively for religious
purposes, no church or parsonage be-
ing included in the amount. The prop
erty known as the Episcopal hall and
the Methodist hall boarding houses
for young women, constitute almost
tho entire amount. Inc remainder is
assessed against frate"nal property.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 24.-The hog chol.
era epidemic has apparently spent its
force In this state. Hundreds of farm
ers have lost practically their entire
herds. In some instances every pig
on the places died, while in others
few remained. In this county many
farmers lost from 100 to 500 hogs.
In Empire township. around Absar-
aga, only two farmers had less than
fifty pigs and some several hundred.
The loss was 80 per cent Former
Speaker Twitchell had several hun
dred and lost all but thirteen.
Despite the heavy losses the farm
ers are not dismayed. Many of them
are disinfecting their pens or rebuild
ing and will secure another lot of hogs
and try it again. Hog raising was
naturally following the increased corn
acreage and the combination was
working as a certain source of reve-
nue. and profit until the epidemic came

(Hrom Fridays Daily
Seldom has Valley City audience
heard such an impassioned appeal
from the lecture platform as was de-
Mvered last evening by Thomas Brooks
Fletcher, who opened the Citizens
Lecture course with an address on
Fools. Mr.. Fletcher is more than an
entertainer, he is man with mes
sage and his message last night was
one which could have been heard with
profit by any young man.
The 1913 course Of lectures opened
auspiciously There was one Of the
largest crowds that ever attended a
lecture at the armory and everything
went of nicely, even to the handling
of the crowd, both before and after

Mr.. Fletcher is a human dynamo.
This is not an original description,
but 1t fits Mr.. Fletcher to nicely.
He has a wonderful control of words,
Is one of the most entertaining speak
ers who ever spoke from the armory
platform and gives one the impression
that he is absolutely sincere in what
he says. In fact this was one Of the
things about the lecture that drew the
most comment from the crowd after
ward.
The pith of Mr.. Fletcher's appeal
was self control. Idle thoughts, al
