SSIONERS CONFER ON
DISTRIBUTION OF OLD
TAX MONIES

Commissioners Leeson, Harbo
and Young, and H. N. Marion,

this week in conference with the
commissioners and county attor-
news of Daniels and Sheridan

ing an agreement on the equitable
division of delinquent tax money
collected since the county divis-
ions were effected.
$4,000 Due Roosevelt
All of Roosevelt county and the
greater part of Daniels county
were formerly included in Sherl-
dan county. The years of 1917,
1918 and 1919 produced many de-
1inouencies in tax payments Re
cent years have brought increas
ing prosperity and many of the
delinuuents have paid up. Roose
Welt county claims to have about
$4,000 legally due it from the
other counties. The money has
not been received and the Roose
velt officials asked for a joint
meeting of the three boards.
Marion to Furnish Brief
The whole matter is necessarily
rather complicated and the Off
cials looked to Attorney Marror
for clear statement of the law
governing the case. This Mr.
Marion furnished them and after
hours of discussion the nortf
county commissioners became
convinced by the statements anC
argument of our commissioners
and attorney that the money i

furnish the boards with a writer
brief covering the whole situation
which will. no doubt, be acte'
iupon by the Sheridan and Daniels
boards. 1t was satisfactory an'
harmonious meeting. Sheridan
was represented by Commission
ers French and Iverson ana Al
torney Erickson; Daniels by Com
nissioners Wagner and Gundel

FARMS SELLING;
PRICES BETTER
BIG DEALS ARE COMPLETED
OTHERS STILL PENDING
BY LOCAL FARMERS

The predicted movement III
farm lands has begun in earnest.
Local Farmers who wish to ac-
quire farms at the present BAR
gain prices, or increase the acre
age they now have, are getting III
ahead of the demand that is GER
tain to come from farmseekers in
nearby states, this season and
from now on.
When the farmers on the land,
any place, are actually prosperous,
and the land is low in price there
will be demand for it as certain
as water flows down hill. A mil
lion and a quarter bushels Oh
wheat of the highest quality ana
high protein test, raised in the
Wolf Point trade territory (about
100000 bushels, 1927 crop have
already been shipped) is an adyer-
tisement that has pull. Especial
ly when it is the seventh conse-
cutive crop that has been from
fair to bumper. The 1927 crop is
not rated as a bumper, but a good
full general crop with larger
than average acreage.
$40 Acre Sale
The biggest sale reported thus
far this spring was made by f. A.
Schmidt and his son, Joe, to Abb
raham Dick. An even section OIL
choice land in the famous Lustre
community for $4,000, mostly
cash. A separate sale of build
ings on the farm brought the price
to s25 per acre. Mr.. Dick is a
young man who has been farming
in that neighborhood with his
father
Mr.. Schmidt has farmed here
for ten years or more and has
found it profitable. He Will
make his residence in Wolf Point.
Another big deal underway IS
the purchase of 800 acres by H.
B. Johnson of the Wolf Creek
community from NONRESIDENT
holder, to add to his present place
Mr.. Johnson is also leasing sever
al quarters to prepare himself foI
the cattle raising business which
he has found profitable. MT.
Johnson is the farmer who reallz-
ed over S21O0 from the sale OF IL
beef steers at South st. Paul last
winter, topping the market that
day. In the same car he had 43
head of hogs that sold at near the
top for bacon hogs. Mr.. Johnson
