ent is the earliest maturing and the
Malinda is the longest keeping and
the other range in between these two.
Pears Too
One more fruit completes the list
on trial. Some young pear trees of the
Hansen Hybrid variety have been
planted, the oldest three years ago
and the others two years ago. So
far, these trees have been perfectly
hardy. They did not winterkill even
after an early autumn frost caught
them so green that the leaves were
frozen black.
Plant Trees
With this large variety of trees

steadily continued till our homes are
beautified by protecting shelterbelts,
spreading shade trees, blooming
shrubs and luscious fruits.

Sheridan County
| aXatIOn
By o. A. Aspelund

[ have been asked to write few
lines in respect to the assessed valU-
alton of Sheridan County, Montana.
I shall in the accompanying and fol
lowing remarks and statements try
to show the readers of this article
that, though our County like the rest
of our Country has gone through one
of the most trying deflatiOn periods
in the history of the United States,
the northeastern part of Montana has
held its own, and in many respects,
more than it's own. About the year
1922 the high peak of taxation was
reached in Montana. About the
same time the deflation period of
both real and personal property be-
gan to run it's downward course. We
should in such a period expect to
see taxes go up by leaps and bounds.
Tt does not belong in this article to
show the downward trend of taxa
tiOn. Another article bearing on that
subject will show the reader that
point of view. want the reader of
this article to know just exactly
what the general assessed value con-
ditions Of Sheridan County are.
Real Estate Values Decrease
have taken the years 1923-24-25-
26 as a basis for my few remarks.
Real estate values have in that time
gone down in value, but personal pro-
perty values have gone up in value.
The number of acres in 1928 of ir-
rigated lands, non-irrigated lands,
grazing lands, mineral reservations
in above lands, city and town lots
amounted to 853, ,487 acres.
In 1926 the number of acres of
above mentioned description plus TAT
acres of patented mining claims
amounted to 866,23 acres.
All Property Values Increase
The total value of all taxable pro
perty in 1928 amounted to S17,49O,
666. In 1926 the value of the same
property had risen to the amount of
S17,736,958.
The full cash value of irrigated
non-irrigated, grazing, state lands
(under cOntract), and mineral reser-
vations in above lands in 1928
amounted to S11, 1872, ,672.
Total full cash value of improve
ments on above mentioned lands ir
1928 amounted to $2,382,O52. II
1926 the total full cash value oil
aforementioned improvements a
mounted to $2,465, ,OO1, an increase OF
$82,949. Not so bad in one of the
worst deflation periods in history fol
a new county in a recently settled
western state.
Stock Values Decrease
The full and cash value of all live

stock in Sheridan County in 1928
was $1,171 ,28O. In 1926 the full cash
value of all livestock in the County
amounted to 1898, ,447.
The number of homes assessed in
1926 were 1902.
S98,477, the full and cash value of
all homes divided by 1902, repre-
senting the number of assessed

a.
homes in the county, amounts to
S524.95 for each home.
Personal Property Value Increases
In 1923 the full cash value of all
personal property equalled SIT AGO.,
666 In 1926 all personal property,
including the value of all livestock in
the county, amounted to the stagger-
ing sum Of $17,736,958. This divided
on 1902 homes would average about
$9,325.42 on each home in Sheridan
County.
Public Utility Values
The total assessed value of the
Mountain States Telephone, and Far
mers Telephone companies, and the
500 and Great Northern railroad
companies in 1926 within the area of
Sheridan County amounted to ST.
454,942.
Figures Prove Facts
Words convey ideas, arithmetical
figures represent irrefutable facts.
By the above words and figures |
have given the readers of these lines
a sort of panoramic view of the gen
eral conditions existing in Sheridan
County represented in figures. In
a certain way the figures represent
ing the values of our real estate, and
livestock industry does not represent
what our land and livestock really
are worth. Tt is worth more. Many
people would hesitate to sell their
homes and livestock. whether it be
in town or country, for the assessed
valuation. In many cases, of course,
many of us probably would have to
sell for less in a case of have to do
it. In the livestock industry, for in
stance, I have always assessed the
animals of different kinds a great
deal lower than the State Assessors
Association price level on stock is for
the state.
No Over Assessment.
[ have always felt this way about
it, that when people were trying to
make good and a success of their af-
fairs, and were carving homes and
beautiful farms out of what few
years ago was a wilderness, it be-
hooves us as officials elected by the
people to give what little encourage
mnt we can, and try to make the
burden as light as possible.

Demand that the Consumers

in creating the marketing cor

"COdeS are no substitute for

State Capitol, Hartford, Conn, Jan. 12--Representative Francis Hogan, democrat of Torrlngton caused q sensation in the House today as committee assignments were announced by resigning from the one post to which the republi- can leaders in the House had named him. In a dramatic state- 'ment made from the floor of the House the fiery legislator from the Naugatuck Valley threw down the gauntlet to the S. 0. D majority and indicated that there will be plenty of opposition from the dem ocratic side to all efforts to sub merge the minority party us was done at past sessions.
 When Representative Hogan's name was read as q member of the committee on state parks and re- servatlons he immediately took the floor and resigned. He declared that "f would rather be a dog barking at the moon. than serve on such committee. "He then proceeded to cite his record at the November election at which he ran far ahead of other democratic candidates in Torrington,

l7-Year-Old Lad Was Not One Bit Emotional. When He Admitted He Was One of the Gang Hired to Do It

Newburgh, N. r., Jan. 12-tUP) A 17-year-old youth testified to- day that he had been willing to murder q local city court judge for $500.
 The admission was made without apparent emotion by Richard Ward during cross- s-examination In the trial of Joseph Kahn, charged at- tempted first degree murder of City Judge Jacob Decker, prominent in political circles of Oronge coun- ty. o ro, ton. 2s, and Charles Hanson, had been hired by Kahn ut $500 each to "bump off'' Decker because the latter stood in the way of an a!- legged romance between the judges wife and Kahn.
 Do you mean to tell this Jury YOU were willing to kill for $50O?' thundered Daniel Prior, defense lawyer. ~
 "i was," Ward replied blandly.
 The youthful witness then re- cited how he and his associated had waylaid Decker and beaten him over the head. The judge, however, retained consciousness and his assailants became frighten- ed and fled, Ward testified.
 Ward and Dayton subsequently were arrested and admitted their part in the open court. They pleaded guilty to first degree as- suit.
 After Ward had been excused, the prosecution rested.

 Further negotiations were opened between Cannon and extor- tionists who also threatened tho safety of Joseph Cannon, Jr, son of Cannon.
