the mines OF the Penn Iron Company at

was predicted by the local management
OF the mines several weeks ago, IL being
explained at that time that the other
mines OF the company in other parts
were OF n sufficient capacity to satisfy
the company's demand for ore. The

Somewhat Better--A Case OF
Printer's Ink and Success

The last meeting OF tie present board
OF supervisors was held at the office OF
The clerk in the court house on Wednes-
day. Every township was represented
and the meeting occupied the entire day.
In addition TO the routine busncss and
the auditing OF accounts there was little
business OF importance transacted, save
tho application for rebates 81 county
taxes. There were several OF these aud
in n majority OF cnses they were allowed.
The fist bill for rebate was presented by
the officials OF the Caledonia Iron Mining
company fora rebate oiope halfoi the tax
on the Mansfield mine property in the year
1898. The stand taken by the company
in substantiation Of their claim was that
subsequent to the assessment the disns-
trous cave-in occurred, greatly reducing
the value OF the property. Mr.. Harte
moved that the rebate be allowed, being
seconded by MIR. Erikson. The ayes and
nays were called by the motion was
lost.
John Keopcke was more fortunate.
On motion OF Mr.. Harte, supported by
Mr. Mincker, he was allowed a rebate of
$3O37 on taxes assessed on lot Ill in
this village for the years, 80, 90, '01.
'92 and '03. The total amount paid
during those years was S15.37. The
rebate was allowed on account Of cr-
roncous assessment. Mr.. Douglas Mar
gison, OF Maple Grove, was also granted
rebate ON like premises.
During the meeting it was decided to
appoint committee Go check up the
books Of the county treasurer, clerk and
poor superintendents. The chairman
appointed as such committee, Mcssrs.
VI. j. Lindsay, Ralph Wilcox and George
W. Mewhinney. The committee is now
at work and will lie employed Tor some
time to come. The books Of the officers
named viii be checked up from the or

Wheat was heavy and the market
dragged. There was weakness that the
decrease of over million did not offset,
probably because the trade does not
consider million a large decrease; it
viii take two or three more weeks TO
get the visible below 70.000,000. The
opening was about in line with closing
prices of Saturday, but there was a
gradual slump from that point for a &c
decline. There was no snap to the
trade at any time. The large increase
on passage did not help matters; it was
nearly twice as large as the decrease in
the visible.

The North-W estern's s4S.15 rate to
San francisco has been pigeon-holed Oh
account of the wall of competing lines.
Its route is more direct and therefore
shorter. and it appears that the other
lines could not probably do business on
longer haulS at this rate. Even as it
Was, the Omaha road would not in
crease its revenues TO the extent de-
sired, So the old $3.50 rate once more
obtains.
