continues successfully TO advance on
a large scale. The secret of the sue
cess of the Americans Is their prompt
delivery of goods. ranging from loco
motives to sewing machines, and the
long credit given. The quickness OF
deliveries exceeds even that of the
Germans. who had prepared carefully
for the after the war rush In trade,
while English and French firms. with
their slow methods, already have
been outdistanced.
An example Of the prevailing meth
ods Is that while England permits
only forty pounds Of cloth stuffs te
be exoprted, merchants in the United
States are sending their goods by the
shiploads. Also scores Of commercial
travellers from the United States are
reaching the continent. M
The Americans, after having vir
tuaMy obtained a monopoly in the
iron and steel of Europe. are seeking
further fields for the investment Of
capital.

June Fires Caused
Loss of $93,646.71

Pierre, Aug. 16.-Tne August fire
marshal bulletin shows that the fire
loss in South Dakota for June was
$93,646.7l. The heaviest loss in any
one county was for Hand county,
with practically $4S,000. while Min
nehaha was next with $21,439. The
state fire marshal says that they are
receiving greater degree of cooper
alton from the property owners OF
the state in the efforts at fire pre-
vention, than was granted when that
policy was first put into effect by
the department. and that the losses
are being reduced from the proper
observance of fire prevention efforts
rather than the attempts to control
fires after they are under way.

TAX COMMISSION
AFTER ASSESSORS
MANY ADMIT LAND VALUES ARE
GREATER THAN FIGURES In
ASSESSMENT BOOKS

Mitchell, Aug. 16.-lt has been
settled apparently to the satisfaction
of III. c. Preston, investigating MEM
Der of the state tax commission, who
is in Mitchell, that the assessments
in IL Dawson county townships are
unjust and it is generally believed
that the state tax commission, when
the case is presented by Preston, will
order an increase in the assessment.
Working under the new tax law
for the first time this year number
of misunderstanding on the part of
the assessors rose and it is said in
extenuation that these misunder-
standings were responsible for the
discrepancies in the assessors books.
In one township the books were re-
turned without the assessors sigr l.
ture and notary's seal. In another
set of books the clause stating that
the assessment was based on the true
value of the property in the township
was stricken out. The assessor re-
sponsible for this said he understood
that none of the assessors were max
ing full and complete returns and
that he, therefore, did not care tc
swear to an incomplete return.
Practically every assessor ques-
toned by Preston admitted that the
value of the land in his particular
township was far greater than the
figures turned in on the assessment
books.
Preston declared he was not salts
fled with the money and credits re
turns and it is possible that in view
of these conditions the tax commits
sion will order a re-assessment of the
real estate and the moneys and cred
! its in the county, though the more
general view is that the commission
will lsimpiy raise the assessment ar
bitrarily.
| Dawson county is not alone In tn,
difficulties of the assessments this
/ year. Commissioner Preston ha'
been busy for some time holding sim
| liar hearings and still has numbe
on his schedule before he makes hi
report to the commission.
