On account of the death Of Bishop
Biller, South Dakota will be without
a resident Episcopal bishop probably
for the next year, but during this
time ii is probable that the church
affairs i'm the state will be looked
after by Bishop T. F. Johnson of St.
Louis, Mo. The house of bishops will
meet in October, 1916, at which time
a permanent bishop for South Da-
kota will probably be selected.
Pierre dispatch: That the per
capita valuation of South Dakota is
the showing of immigration Commits
sioner McCaffree. based on the late
census and the assessments figures
of this year, which give the state an
assessed valuation of $1,271, GOA ,031.
While these are the figures on the re-
turns, Commissioners McCaffree esti-
mates the actual value of all prop
erty in the state, based on the popu-
lation, would be al the rate of a lit
tie over $4,000 for each resident,
which he presents al ahead of the
showing of any other state in the
union.
