That Town Il DAD Tax.

As stated elsew here, backed by
a resolution of the town board, the
town clerk has left off the roll the
$4,000 road tax levied by the people
at the annual town meeting last
spring. We are not sorry To see
this tax 60, and only criticised the
manner of its going. We are still
of the opinion expressed in last
weeks issue, that this Is not the
highway tax over which the board
is required to exercise any supe Vi
sion but it IL a general town tax,
spread over the whole town, and
goes right on the tax roll aud is
collected like the other general TAX
for poor and miscellaneous purposes
in money, and does not have to be
manipulated by the board, and they
have no possible control OF The mat
ter, and their having instructed the
clerk to leave 1T eff the roll was en-
tirely gratuitious. AS some sort of
cOuntenance to the clerk in doing
so, 1t was all well enough but bad
the clerk any right to act upon this
advice of the board--tor i amounts
TO nothing more-and leave off the
tax roll levy made by the people.
For II he had the authority to do
40, why could be not also drop the
poor and the miscellaneous tax or
any other levy that might not suit
him LIS it for the clerk to sav
whether tax is legal or not, or
whether he viii extend it. after the
people vote it at an annual mert-
ing? If so, the people had bet err
ask permission OF the clerk hereaf-
ter before they levy a tax.
The clerk may have been justified
in leaving off this tax, or al least all
but ,00U, if, as We are vefy much
inclined to believe, it can be shown
that the Town Of Superior at The
time this tax WAS voted last April,
did not contain FIVE hundred legal
inha bitants
The highway tax that the town
board levy is not general town tax,
but is road dlstric, tax and NAV

Fisherman Lost.

On Wednesday afternoon the
Nelson brothers, two fishermen OF
Duluth, were last seen by another
party of fishermen lifting their nets
about four miles out in the lake of
our entry. The wind at the time
they were passed was blowing quite
fresh from the mormon west. It is
supposed they loaded their boat toe
heavily, ssand must have swamped.
A tug from Duluth has been search
ing for the boat along the ,oulh
shore OF the lake, but up to this,
Friday evening, nothing has been
heard of the miss'ng men. The
chances are against their reaching
shore alive if their boat did fill =

Coal tar is spread over the upper surface
and as the machine is moved forward the
'hoppers are disturbed and alighting on the
tarred surface, are killed by coming in con-
tact with it.
The cost of a zinc machine is about six
dollars; for sheetiron somewhat less. Those
who prefer to make their own machines
will find it no trouble in doing so.
An objection having been made to the use
OF canvass, we consulted Rufus Clark. who
says that Oil cloth Or heavy canvass should
be used, so that the coal tar will not leak
through. Apprehensions We're entertained
that the tar would injure vegetation by COM
ing in contact with it. Mr.. Clark thinks
that if proper care is taken, 10 tar need be
dropped or spilled

of the ground. The oven or drumis of sheet
iron, covered on top and sides, with an open
