. A Correction Due

Following the election the Pio-
neer made certain statements that
Thos. Frosted, captain Of Indian
police, had been active politically in
opposition to the candidacy Of the
writer, who was elected county au-
ditor. Since then we have learned
that number of matters were mis-
stated to us, and we wish at this
time to say that we have no person
al animosity against Capt. Frosted
or any other citizen of Fort Yates
or Sioux county. The election is
over aud we are highly pleased with
the result. The Pioneer believes
that Captain Frosted is a good po-
lice officer, conscientious and fear
less, whose services are valuable,
and recognize that he has done
good work in furthering the cause
of temperance among the Indians
for which he is entitled to much
credit. This statement is made in
a spirit of fairness and justice to all
parties concerned.

Farm Machinery Up:
No More Long Credit

Farm implements Of all sorts are
going up in price, some Of them as
much as so per cent. The Inter-
national Harvester Company yester-
day announced that harvester
machinery has advanced more than
Is per cent and harvester twine will
cost from 25 to 40 per cent more
next spring. At the same time, a
meeting Of farm machinery manu-
facturers at the Auditorium Hotel,
Chicago, discussed price advances
in executive session, it was said
The manufacturers intend. one Of
them said, to require cash pay
ments from farmers, instead of ac-
cepting longtime credits and in
stallments-the present practice.
The manufacturers argue that high
prices now being received for farm
products have resulted in. surpluses
being piled up in the country banks
to the credit of the agriculturists.
The rural credits arrangement
also will make it easier for the far
mer to pay, it was said.-Ch Chicago

Center had the most votes, yet
Manning is still the county seat, for
the reason that tbs the permanent

and should the question Of county
seat removal be submitted in Sioux
county at the next election a. two

Assessed Valuation
Sioux Co. $885,583
Assessed Valuation Of Sioux County For 1916
Given by School Districts.-Valuation
$4,000 Lower Than Last Year

road property is also equalized at q
lower rate than a year ago. These
are the reasons why, on the audi
tors rolls, Sioux county is listed
this year as worth 1885, ,583, while
in 1915 it was assessed at sos, 1872"
The tax levies this year will be
higher than last year on account Of
lower valuation, but taken as a
whole taxes will not be much
heavier so far as county and state
levies are concerned. The school
taxes in every district except
Hanna, will be somewhat higher
than last year.

Many Landseeker Are
Looking Over Country
Many Landseekers Looking Over Indian
Land for Sale, and Securing Leases.
New Settlers Moving in

Ever since the list for the next
Standing Rock reservation land sale
was first published few weeks ago,
there has been parties looking over
land daily, and the indications are
that bids will be received for near
ly every tract offered for sale.
There has also been many leases
made on the reservation during the
past month, both for grazing and
farming purposes. The big flax
crop this year has proven a great
stimulus for increased farming op-
efations and many thousand acres
will be broken up in the spring and
seeded to flax. These leases, run
from two to five years, the price per
acre being governed according to the
lay of the land, nearness to market
and other elements which enter into
the desirability Of the lease:
Quite number Of homesteaders
who fled during the spring and
summer are also moving in and
have buildings either erected or
under construction. 1t is safe to
say that by next spring the white
population Of Sioux county will be
nearly double what it was when the
census was taken two years ago.
From now on the growth and de-
Of Sioux county will be
rapid. Outsiders are beginning to
realize that one oftfle finest grazing
and farming sections Of the state is
here, and no other place in the
Northwest offers better opportuni-
lies for the homeseeker or the in
vestor.
