TAXABLE LANDS ARE VALUED
AT sass, 500 900

Pierre. S. D., Aug. 16.-According
to the estimate of r. A. Palleys, tax
commissioner of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway Company, the
value of all taxable land in South
Dakota on May /, 1920, was $685.
100000, being an average of s7O.61
per acre. The foregoing figures were
contained in statement recently
submitted to the state tax commits
sion at Pierre, in which he was urg-
ing a reduction of the tax assess
ment against the Northwestern rail-
road property in South Dakota, that
was valued at s33,741,S 67 in 1919, to
approximately s25,312,5oa for 1926.
Mr.. Palleys claimed that the value
of the company's property since the
last assessment was made~had depre-
ciated practically $S,429.367.
The gross earnings of the railroad
company in South Dakota during the
year 1919, declared Mr. Palleys, was
s4,a91 per mile of all track. and that
the same for the entire state was only
1856 per cent. of the amount of the
entire Northwestern railroad system.
In making his argument before the
state tax commission. Mr. Palleys
used his estimate of the value of the
realty in South Dakota to support
his claim for a reduction of the as
sessed value of the railroads prop
erty.

WARNED no CONSERVE
NEWS PRINT SUPPLIES

NEW YORK.-Franklin P. Glass,
president of the American Newspa-
per Publishers association, gave
warning at the annual convention
that newspaper publishers must
make further conservation of news
print paper if they we're not to have
a worse time next fall and winter
than they had in the last six months
ut cannot be denied" he said,
that the publishers themselves are
responsible for yielding to the the
great demand for paper, and that
they have increased this skyrocket
auction market by bidding against
each other, by willingness to take
the volume of advertising offered,
no matter how small the margin Of
profit"
At the luncheon Of the Bureau of
Advertising association e. T. Mere
dith, secretary Of agriculture, made
plea for greater publicity for farm
ers, saying that bill inimical to ag-
riculture should have the spotlight
Of publicity turned upon it, just as
a vicious franchise should have.
The secretary said that many
times the farmers are not in po-
sition to get their views fully before
the public and could not, therefore,
protect their interests effectively.

SOUND DEATH
KNELL OF LEAGUE

SAN RENO. u What virtually
amounts to the death knell of the
league of nations as constituted al
present was sounded by Premier
Lloyd George when, after hurriedly
summoned the French and Italian
premiers, he delivered an impassion-
ed speech holly denouncing the pres
ent organization of the league as a
time losing machine likely to endan-
ger rather than help the peace OF
the world.
s, The British premier's sensational
pronouncement was provoked by
frances protest against the supreme
councils proposal to grant Germany
another three months delay in evac-
uating the Rnhr region. Premier
Millerand had complained that one
of the vital provisions Of the league
calls for the immediate disarma-
ment of Germany.
1t was then that Premier Lloyd
George launched into his peroration,
say his hearers, with extraordinary
eloquence. He more than limited
that the league covenant was only
inserted into the Versailles trea-
ty out of Difference to President Will
son and that now Mr.. Wilson is to
all intents and purposes out of Eu-
ropean politics, the time has come to
clear the decks of impracticabilities
and openly declare that the league
of nations an impossible dream.
An intensely animated concersa-
ton followed, Premier Millerand fl
nally agreeing to the three months
delay to Germany, which probably
means early withdrawal of the
French from Frankfort, as was ex-
clusively foreshadowed by the Uni
versal Service more than week ago.

Rurals were freer from disease but
RhizOctonia was in evidence thru
out the district. In this district
growers do not like to contract for
future delivery but prefer to sell
when ready to haul.
Twin Falls to Burley is the larg-
est producing district west of Poca-
tello. More than three-fourths of
this crop is hauled direct from the
field and sold, contracts usually be-
ing made with the growers at dig
j ging time. The principal reason for
this is the limited farm storage and
the bad roads which make hauling
later in the season very difficult and
expensive. Around Burley the acre
age was heavy but the yield light
and shipment about equalled last
| year. In the Twin Falls district the
acreage was about half that. of last
year. Fusarium wilt exacted hea-
Wy toll in loss on Rurals. Lack of
careful selection of seed is claimed
to be the chief cause of the head

Caldwell and nearby points grow

The crop is planted early in April

August, with few the last of July.
In contrast to the other districts of
the state where frost kills the vines,
the heat performs this service. This
section is troubled less with dis
eases than the others, but some Rhi-
zoctonia and some scab may be
found. 1t differs again from other
Idaho sections in that a large part
of the crop is contracted several
months before digging and there is
practically no storing.

TILDEN FLAT

Contributed by H. E. Lemke)
1t was as far back as 1906 when
Joseph NJ. Tilden first came to Ida
no. For about two years he worked
for the American Falls Canal COM
pany as a contractor. After that he
went to Lost River to secure a con-
tract which he failed to get. But
on his way he discovered a low level
fiat about six miles south of the
Twin buttes. The splendid location
and the abundant grass which was
everywhere in evidence appealed so
strongly to him that he decided to
locate there.
He staked off his land the best
he could-this part of the state had
not been surveyed then-and built
a little log cabin, where for many
years he has led the life of the hardy
frontiersman.
He first attempted to farm, and
preparatory to this he broke out con-
siderable ground; but the work was
necessarily slow, as all provisions
and water had to be hauled a long
ways by wagon. Especially the wa
ter hauling took lot OF hard work,
as well as much time. One of his
experiences along this line may be
noted here.
One morning in late spring Mr..
Tilden and his nephew, Mr.. Bray
ford, who was working with him at
that time, started out for load of
water; the nearest water was then
at M0oreland, distance Of twenty
miles. On the way home the tank
started tot leak, and when they got
home they had just two barrels left,
or just enough to water all the stock
and meet their own immediate
needs. So the next day they start
ed >out for another load. All went
well this time till they crossed the
railroad track, about six miles from
home, when the wagon reach groke
and the tank went to the ground. AS
it was getting dark they made camp
for the night, but the next morning
they found that they had to let the
water out of the tank in order to be
able to put it back on the wagon.
This accomplished, and the damage
repaired, they set out a third time
for tank Of water.
All went lovely again till they
got to the place where they had let
tie water out the evening before.
When Mr.. Tilden tried to cross the
wet place, he found the ground soft
er than he expected, and the wagon
sank into the earth up to the aXles.
AS it was getting quite dark, they
made camp and spent the night. The
next morning they had to again let
The water out of the tank, in order
70 get the wagon out of the holes,
and then for fourth time they went
after tank of water which they
landed safely at home.

Then being unable to meet his OBJ

everything away from him. That
