' BETTER BOADS VAHTEDl Also Increased Assevsaisat Tata ef Timber Holding of II Residents. From every section of the coanty I coming the cry for better road. The majority of the farmer favor crushed rock for the top of the road bed, it hav ing been demonstrated that the crushed rock of Columbia county i admirably adooted for that nuroose. U. L. Hvde. of Yankton, state that if the county court will place a rock crusher in the vicinity ol Houlton, that every resident of that section will donate from one to two week labor with their team, hauling-out the chovned no atone on the road between Yankton and Houlton. From many other sections come th cry for better roads and solid road beds. in come location gravel can be secured, and in other it will be necessary to have crushed rock, Yernonia Grange baa declared in favor of a 10-mill road tax. There would be more money for road work, schools snd other purposes, if non resident timber laud bolder were com pelled to pay their just share of taxa tion. Timber tracts are excentionablr valu able holdings. The small farmer who is developing the country and i a home uunuer auouid not be taxed lor nia iator, while the non-resident timber land hol der is reaping tbe benefit. A resident of Yankton owns a 86-acre farm, that be is striving to put in a proper state of cultivation. Across the road a non-resident own 80 acre of valuable timber land. The resident bomebuilder Is taxed more for hi 35 acres of land, than is paid by the non-resident timber land bolder for 80 acre. This condition of things should be remedied. Across the river in Washington they have tried the Iilanof taxing np the non-resident timber amis, and it work admirably. rBOM VERS05IA. The Grange Farors a Tea Hill Coanty Road Tax Levy. Other Item.

Our Grange is gaining some new member, while some of the old patrons have withdrawn from the Grange. I see nothing in tbe Grange that has any tendency to corrupt one' religious, social or moral duties. Sinter Jesse Mitchell, who ia teaching a term of school in the McDonald di trici, upper Pebble creek, has been very sick, but at last reports was improving. Our Grange advocates the idea of the county court levying a lU-mili road tax tbe coining year, so that t. e roads can be put in better condition for winter travel. Wikstrom Sold his Sawmill.
