PRIVILEGE DAY

The Senior Privilege Day was a
success from every standpoint.
Seven carloads of the class Of
1886 started out early last Wed
nesday morning bound for the
Williston vicinity. Two cars drove
by way of Sidney but the others
preferred to miss the rough roads
the other side of the Missouri riv-
er. Ali gathered at a pleasant
grove a little way outside of Will
liston for a picnic dinner. The af-
ternoon was spent in shopping or
window-shopping and in horse
shoe or kittenball. Two Of the ~ar
groups returned to Plentywood
early in the evening but the others
remained for the show, starting
for home Immediately after.

ovich, and Assistant Assessor F. B,
James returned the latter part of the

attended the hearing before the state
tax commission sitting as an equaliza-
ton hearing on mining taxes.
Twenty-six mining companies Of the
state were represented at the hearing
protesting the increase in the valuations
proposed by the commission. The COM
mission had proposed to increase the
assessed valuations of unmined iron ore
to $13 ,234,275 from 81, O47 500 one year

Fifteen of the companies protested
personal property assessed valuations of
mined ore, So 1896, 755, as proposed by the
commission whose figures are in excess

commission stated that findings would
be certified to county auditors in time
to permit listing of the properties on
the tax rolls prior to January 4, when
the collections are due.

large machine shop and in another
corner is small bridge similar to
that on destroyer and a large gun
All Of this equipment takes consider
able room.
What the reservists desire is a
building especially built for their needs
They have asked for a fund of
$500,000, which would be used en-
tirely on the construction, as a site
now Is available in the Washington
Navy Yard on the Anacostia River
water front near the Eleventh Street
Bridge across the river. With a new
building located at this point, 1t would
be possible for the men to have small
boats and other paraphernalia which
would permit them to get much sur
face training during the good months.
When a destroyer Is sent here for
them to drill aboard, it would take
but a few seconds for the men to
get aboard, whereas now it takes con-
siderable time to march the men the
several blocks from the present build
ing to the water front. As the men
only drill for two hours each drill
night, these few minutes amount to
a great loss in drill time.
Also the reservists are hopeful that
if they can obtain the new building a
larger ship would be assigned here per-
manently for their use. Prior to the
depression they had destroyer here
and they obtained much valuable
training. Since that time they have
had only a small launch, which is in
constant use, and even then the men

do not get more than one trip a sea-
son on her.
Efforts are being made to have
assigned here one of the 100-foot
patrol boats which have been turned
over to the Navy by the Coast Guard
The officers of the local battalion
point out that if it is not feasible to
assign a destroyer here, that they
could get much use out Of such q
vessel. as it would not only permit
them to cruise more men on week
end trips down the Potomac, but the
facilities would provide broader train
ing for the officers and men. The
training facilities aboard the launch
are very limited, and the sleeping
accommodations prevent crowding a
large number aboard.
The armory which it is proposed
to seek for the local citizen sailors
also is intended to house the Marine
Corps Reserve regiment. This unit,
like the reservists of the other branch,
is getting its training in unsuitable
quarters in buildings in the Municipal
Center project.

Incidentally Miss Anthony. as early
as 1855. considered herself "an active
Jealous advocate OF Republicanism.' u
She judged the Democrats TO be slave
holders" and applauded the attitude OF
those Abolitionists who argued against
continued union with the South. 1t
was the Republican party which first
adopted a woman's suffrage plank, the
Republican President Grant who first
appointed women postmasters and Re-
publican members of the United States
Senate who first gave sympathetic con-
sideration to the equal franchise cause.
And when at last. in 1872. Miss
Anthony broke the law to vote at

Linn's Weekly Stamp News SAYS:
We believe that proper action on the
part of the cataloguers could have put
a damper on the entire Farley mess. .
Rather than blame Mr.. Farley,
why not place the blame where it be-
longs? Let stamp collectors lay their
rules to collect stamps that are issued
for sale through post offices and are
sold through post Offices. Thus, when
an actual or legitimate error or variety
does slip through, it will have recog-
nized standing
If We are to recognize as legitimate
stamps any print from a stamp plate
that may get out Of the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing, either as a
direct gift from the Postmaster Gen.
eral or by theft or otherwise than
actual issue through a post office, we
are laying ourselves open for a lot Of
trash and truck in the years to come. "
The protest sent to President Roose-
welt by the Board of Governors of the
Washington Philatelic Society in the
matter of the proposed sale of potato
tax-exempt labels by the Treasury De-
partment. August 10, reads as follows:
The Washington newspapers on July
l8 and 10 carried story to the effect
that the Treasury Department was
inviting bids on the large supply of
potato tax-exempt revenue labels
which circumstances have rendered
useless, the labels to be sold in one lot
to the highest bidder.
This action is one which our Gov
ernment has never attempted in the
past and is an action which has
brought disfavor upon several foreign
governments which have engaged in a
similar practice. The action Of the
Treasury Department is also calculated
to place stamp collectors wishing to

obtain sets of these revenue labels
completely at the mercy of the success
full bidder who is assured of a monop-
oily of the supply.
In view Of these facts, the Board
Of Governors of the Washington Phi
latelic Society respectfully appeals to
you, Mr.. President, as one Of our fel-
low-members, to exercise your good
ofiices to prevent our Government from
being subjected to that criticism which
has been directed against ether ma
tions which have engaged in the prac-
tice Of selling remainders Of demone-
tized stamp issues.
We take the liberty Of suggesting
that. II 1t should prove Impractical
simply to destroy these labels. they be
sold through some such agency IS the
Philatelic Agency Of the Post ONCE
Department at price which would
just cover the cost of manufacture end
clerical handling expenses. In this
way, the Treasury Department could
avoid the loss now facing it from the
cost Of printing these unused revenue
labels and, at the same time, collectors
could obtain sets at q reasonable
price"
And this protest-together with
those Of the Washington Air Mail So
ciety and the Washington Collectors
Club-rnust have been effective, be-
cause late yesterday the Treasury De-
