straight ten per cent boost in assessed
valuation was handed the principal
railways operating in North Dakota

day. The railway companies came be-
fore the board asking that their as

$10,000,000 apportioned
among the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific, 500 line. Northwestern and
st. Paul railways The boost is made,
State Auditor Kositzlky stated today on
the basis Of actual increased values
in these railway properties.
The Great Northern, assessed last
year on $2S,31S,277, this year will pay
taxes on $2,S31,827 more. The in
sessed last year on $24,387,178, will

PUSHING FOOD PRODUCTION
David F. Dodd Will Plant 10 Acres
 to Bliss PotatOes.

David E. Dodd, manager of the Mena Branch of the Reynolds-Davis Grocery Company, is going to have part in the increased food pro- duction in this county, having ar ranged to plant at least ten acres of potatoes. He has rented the land on the Ozark Ranch, has the ground plowed and made ready for the planting. He was lead to undertake this proposition by reason of the fact that he had on hand surplus aof fine Bliss seed potatoes, and be- cause of the further fact that one of the points stressed by the gov ernment in it's advocacy of in- creased food production is the ne- cessity of raising more potatoes in order to save wheat for ex- portation.
