Writes Unsolicited Congrat-
ulatory Letter to His Home
Paper About it-Contrasts
With Coast States.

San Francisco, Aug. 29.-Some time
ago VIM. P. Allen, of Arlington, S. D.,
visited the North Dakota building at
the exposition, and upon his return
home he wrote letter to his home
paper, the Arlington Sun, in which he
made the following complimentary
mention of the North Dakota building
and it's exhibits:
A day or two later a party told
me to visit the North Dakota building
as there was something of interest to
see. The building and exhibit were in
charge of Will E. Holbein. And say.
here was building of ample size and
all the exhibits from the state were
here displayed. Mr.. Holbein intro
duced me to John Freyberger. of La
Moure, North Dakota, and l had full
hour chat with him. He not only ar
ranged the grain and the grasses, but
collected them himself. There was not
only the produce on display, but in
sacks and in bins. A farmer wants
to get his hand on the grain and corn.
and does not care so much for the
display; but he did put a whole lot
of work on his Tower of Corn" The
pottery display made from clay min
ed near the Missouri river was fine
when displayed by itself; also it is an
industry that will be developed in
time. Products can be made, from
the finest vase to the hardest building
brick. The Ignite coal display was
interesting to Dakotan. Ignite coal
will not stand shipping-it dries out
and falls into dust. They are now
treating it by pressing it into bril-
quotes about the size and shape of
laundry soap and is fully equal to
hard coal for fuel, and the by-products
of the process pays for the reducing.

are on the job showing the actual pro-
ducts grown from the soil, not an ar
tificial mine, the picture, not products
of irrigation and intensive culture and
, fertilizing. There are on an average
of rs Dakotans visiting and registering
/ there daily-fne rest rooms and that
makes the fair seem more like home
to them.
The advertising a state gets when
its products are compared with the
irrigated crops of the coast is worth
much more than the cost, say nothing
of inspiring every one who does visit
this fair to be more loyal to his state
and it's advantages. ,..s

El Paso Is Stirred BY
Late Mexican Uprising

washington, Aug. 26.-Consul Sill
man at Vera Cruz, cabled the state
department communication from
Acuna, General Carranza's foreign
minister asking that he inquire whe-
Their Secretary Lansing and the Latin
American diplomats acted in their Of
fetal or private capacities, in ad-
dressing the recent paper to the Mex,
lean leaders for a peace conference.
This was the first word from the Car
rama government concerning the
Pan-American appeal, it was accepted
as an indication that the formal reply
would not be forthcoming for another
week.
It was intimated in official circles
that the only response to Acuna's
question would be in the form of
message to Consul Silliman directing
his attention to the fact that Secretary
Lansing and all conferes attached
full titles to their signatures. This
it was pointed out, left no room fol-
doubt that the conferees acted Off
cially.

Reported Uprising Causes Stir

Ell Paso, Texas, Aug. 26.-El Paso
awoke today to find it's streets along
the Rio Grande guarded by United
States soldiers as the result of a re-
port last night that an uprising of
Huerta, CarranZa and Orozco faction
lists had been planned for the early
hours of the morning.
| Mexicans were not permitted to
cross the international bridge from II
o'clock last night until early today,
and no American was allowed to cross
the river to Juarez. Extra guards
were ordered out at Fort Bliss where
General Huerta is being held. Com
panies of infantry were posted at the
international bridge, the railroad via
duct and all strategic points.
The rumor of the alleged plot was
brought to the department of justice
representatives who notified General
John J. Pershing, commanding the
Eighth brigade at Fort Bliss.
A conference of city and county
officials, representatives of the de-
partment of justice, the federal mar
shall and General Pershing followed at
hotel. After the conference General
Pershing announced he was prepared
to meet any uprising that might start.
During the night soldiers were hur-
ried to their camps by the provost
marshal and officers rushed to their
posts in automobiles. The police
halted and searched Mexicans in the
downtown streets. There was no ex-
element in the city, although an un-
dercurrent of uneasiness was ap-
parent.
Occasionally shots were fired by the
policemen in hating Mexicans found
in the lower quarters of the city in
order to search them.

Railroads
Tax Raised

Bismarck, Aug. 2S.-Railroad valu-
atoms in the state were raised $12,-
100000 over last year, almost ~ per
cent, as the result of the decision of
the state board of equalization. The
board has been in session for over q
week and finally adjourned this aft
ernoon. During the session the board
heard mass of testimony concerning
the taxation of railroads, these cor
porations being represented by ex-
perts, and the state tax commission
by Professor Durand of the univer-
sity of Minnesota.
The board also raised land values
Is per cent. Personal property val
uations were raised total of $9,00O,-
900. Every item of personal prop
erty was changed by the board.
Among the changes in land valua-
lions are: In Cass county from $7.58
to 1885; Grand Forks county, $3.50
to 1884; Trail county, $7.44 to 1856;
Richland county from $3.50 to $3.50;
Barnes county from $6.OS to $500;
Ramsey county, from $5.14 to $6.9S;
Walsh county from $6.15 to $685..
The total levy for the state will be
the same as last year, distributed as
follows: General fund seven-eighths
mills; terminal elevator fund, one
eighth mill; state bond interest fund,
OIL mills; state bond sinking fund 2
mills.
Lack of revenue to carry on the de-
partments of state government me-
cessitated the raise in taxation valu-
atoms just ordered by the board. The
tax commission had recommended a
raise of $1S,00O,OOO on railroad valua-
tons in the state.
