esting history. Forty-two years ago
c. w. Cook, a noted Chicago mer-
chant and capitalist, was induced by
Marvin Hughitt, builder of the North
western railroad. to come out to this
section on a land hunt. There was
no railroad through this section at
thai time, the nearest railroad point
being Denison. With the land COM
missioner from the Northwestern
Mr.. Cook left the train at Denison
and drove north through this section.
When he came upon the land that
a"fterward became Brookmont he was
greatly pleased with il and made a
deal for its purchase. The entire
twelve sections, with the exception OF
some 200 acres, was owned by the
Northwestern, and Mr.. Cook acquired
all of it. Since that time it has been
farmed on a large scale, and has been
one of the noted farms of the cOun-
try.
After the death of the senior Mr..
Cook the land passed to the hands Of
A. f. Cook, who lived here for many
years and gave the farm his personal
supervision. During late years his
eastern interests have called him
away so much that he concluded to
close out the entire tract. Most of
il has been sold. AT the time of the
dispersal of his herd of Herefords
some months ago 1881 acres of the
famous property remained. and an
effort was made to sell it in its en-
tirety at that time. No deal was
made. however. The recent sale of
the 507 acres cuts the farm down to
the 1874 acres. AS the price at
which the remainder is held is some
thing like 500 an acre less than
lands of the same producing ability
are held in Illinois. il is not likely
hat it will have to go begging for a
buyer.

MAIN MEASURES
TAXATION. PRIMARY LAW AND
PROHIBITION To COME BE
FORE THE LEGISIATURE.

Pierre, Dec. 15.-The measures
that are going to get probably the
largest share of the attention at the
coming legislative session are those
of taxation. primary election and pro
hibition. In the first the state tax
commission has been at work for
most of the last year upon the franz
ing of a complete tax code. which has
for its purpose the elimination of the
conflicting provisions which have
grown up in the tax laws through
many amendments of specific sections
without regard to how they might
conflict other sections. The new act
will seek to repeal all existing tax
statutes. and stand as the new tax
code for the state.
The matter of a new primary cleo
ton act was freely discussed at the
late committee meetings of the two
parties. and there was a general
agreement hat the present act should
be radically amended or repealed,
and the republican committee adj
journed to the call of the chairman
for a meeting early in January for
the purpose OF framing an act to
| present TO the legislature. r.. O.
l Richards. the Trainer of the present
/ act denies the right of the legislature
| to change the act, and is securing pc
| titions TO present amendments to the
| people by the same route over which
| the original act came.
The antiliquor forces of the state
| are shaping up TO ask the legislature
for the enactment OF a statewide pro-
Il hfhStnrp ant and in aaGn nf faflnrn in
that 10 present such an act to the
people through the initiative.
Another measure which will re-
ceive considerable attention will be
the bank guaranty act which has been
framed by the state bankers associa-
ton. and which they will ask the leg
islature TO enact and provide a guar
anty system before the act initiated
can be submitted to the people for a
vote.
Among other propositions which
come to the front are the eff
forts of the equal suffrage people TO
again get their issue before the peo-
pie: a civil service act; a salaried
state highway commission: extension
OF the state aid to schools; amend
ments to the game laws to provide
for bird refuge. and to bring the state
law into harmony with the federal
law. besides other amendments to the
hunting regulations. 1t is reported
that one member has a bill ready to
compel farmers TO rotate their crops
with a penalty for failure. and that
several others are figuring on a
method of handling dipsomaniacs in
this state. These along with the
usual run OF appropriations, and the
hundreds of bills on local affairs will
give the members of the coming SEES
sion plenty TO do for the time they
will be in session.

feature of the state government in
the statement: The state of South

money in maintaining the various in
