all repacked and arranged and finally
put in place The space allowed was
not sufficient and number or samples

After the judging was done, larger
cards showing the growers name and
county was attached and large
placard made and placed across the
space occupied by Iron County growers
All of our exhibits were at Menominee
on time and the first day it looked as
though this county would have a very
large majority OF the exhibits. How
ever, much more came In late so that
the building was filed completely
with potatoes.
Only one shipment in this county,
Mr.. Brozoznowski did not arrive
due to loss in shipment. However,
he mad some very good potatoes for

ALLEGED SW|NOLER
Farmers Caught and Placed

Nation, Jan. 30.-Attorney Fl. Van

This party is alleged 20 have OBJ

amounting to thousands OF dollars

number of prominent farmers in this
locality were victimized to the tune of
about 81, 900 in promissory notes.
Most of them saved themselves against
the payment of these notes by giving
prompt notice of rescission, but a few
of the more tlmid ones paid up and re-
ceived nothing in return except a
membership certificate and a small
quantity of veterinary medicines.

INDIANS RESTLESS
Funds Held Back Council Soon
to be Held.

Aberdeen, Jan. 30. There is general
unrest among Indians of the Cheyenne
reservation in western South Dakota
over the i'm which the govern
ment had held up trust funds belong
ing to them, and a general council of
Sioux Indians west of the river will be
called in the near future to meet at
Cherry Greek to discuss the matter
preparatory to LAYING the claims be-
fore the board of Indian affairs at
w asnington.
AT the present time several hundred
thousands of dollars belonging TO the
Indians is held in trust by the gov.
eminent, these funds accruing from
the sale of Indian lands. Although
it is UNDERSTOOD many of the Indian
families are in a destitute condition,
none of these funds can he had.
Since the custom of leasing lands on
the reservation to the large cattle in
~terests was established twenty years
ago, the Indians have been gradually
forced out of the stock business. until
today but few own any sock of their
own. 1t is proposed by the chiefs OF
the several tribes to compel the gov
eminent 10 turn over a portion of these
funds to enable the Indians to enter
stock raising for themselves.
A general council meeting will bring
together several thousand Indians,
representing nearly every family on
the reservation, it being proposed to
adopt a set of resolutions asking the
| boardof Indian affairs to send an inves-
tigating committee to the reservation
to examine into the administration OF
| affairs there, it being alleged that there
is a great amount Of graft connected
with the management of Indian
affairs. This appears to be more than
a mere tribal conference. it being IN
derstood that matters are rapidly
rea ching a crisis in the west country.

Bookings dispatch: The city of
Brookings lost II per cent of its popu-
lation and seven tenths of the area of
the townsite this week by action of its
city council. When incorporated
about thirty years ago, it embraced an
area of nine square miles, considerable
of which was, and still is. farm land.
The resident farmers have for a long
time claimed that the municipal taxes
are burdensome and that they received
no compensatory benefits. The ques-
tion of segregation had been agitated
fol several years which at last culmin-
ated in the action of the council by
setting out five of the nine sections of
the city's land and attaching the same
to an adjoining township.
The Sioux Indians, former devotes
of the brutal sun dance and wal
dance have drawn the line on the
bear dance and caused the arrest of a
woman who danced it at al enter
tainment at which Indians were
guests. The entertainment was in
progress in a school house near the
border of the Pine Ridge Indian res
er walton, when Mrs. Estelle Wolf, a
mixed blood Sioux IN undertook
to present the bear dance. In a mo-
ment the entertainment broke up in
a riot and Mrs. Wolf was arrested.
As there was doubt about the dancing
of the bear dance being a violation
of the state statutes she was charged
with using profane, abusive and
threatening language, growing out of
her disinclination to stop the dance
when ordered to do so. She was
taken into court and made TO pay a
fine.

TAX COMMISSION
Pleased With Their System of
Taxation-Wil Assess
on Same Basis.

Mitchell, Jan. 30.-H. Z. | reston,
member of the State Tax Commission,
arrived 10 the city Saturday evening
to remain at home a few days. MIR.
Preston said the commission was
steadily at work now in working ont
the plans for the coming assessment to
be made this spring. The first year,
naturally, everything was not done
just as the commission might wish,
but he said that there was more JUS
tice done in the 1918 assessment than
in any previous year of the states as
sessment.
1T is a mere matter of justice and
equality in the matter of assessment. -
said Mr.. Preston, ''and while the com
mission was being criticized at the
start in the change of the basis of the
assessment, we are now receiving com
mendstion even from men whose taxes
have been raised by the higher as
sessment. As an example of the in
equality of the assessment there ia no
greater display of this than in the
counties CT Lyman and Stanley in COM
parison with Onion county. Farmers
out west of the river were being as
sessed $50 on a horse hat actually was
not worth more than that sum. while
farmers down in Union county were
assessed the same amount on a horse
that was worth $3.50 or s175. Can
anybody say that the farmers in the
two sections were being assessed on
their horses at a fair and honest figure.
/ have talked with some of the farmers
in Union county and they agreed that
they had been getting off exceedingly
light ON their valuable horse flesh. |
find. after an examination, that every
county in the state, with the ex-
ception of Union county, will pay
less state tax this year than ever be-
fore. Dawson county will pay 80. 600
less. while Lyman and Stanley counties
will pay As and so per cent less state
tax this year. 1t ia brought about by
the simple application of equalizing
the assessment. The commission was
we'll pleased with the work done last
year as a whole, and We have every
reason to believe that the assessment
this year will result in the same
way"
