Declared nstitutional

A dispatch from st. Paul dated May
20 says: State. Auditor Dunn has
won a decided victory through the
Office Of the attorney general. He has
brought out decision to the effect that
all mining lands in this state may be
brought into the tax list, and that the
cent a ton statute is clearly violation
of the constitution. State Auditor Dunn
sent letter to Attorney General Childs
asking an opinion as to the constitution
atty Of the law. In the course of his
reply. Attorney General Childs says: .
"It is evident that the constitution
contemplates that the above CLASS of
property shall be taxed upon it's fair cash
valuation. It is difficult in my judgment
to conceive of q statute more plainly
yiolative Of the constitution than the
one in question. It wholly d1sregards
the mandatory requirements of the con-
stitution that taxation shall be based
upon a cash valuation and permits a
specific and wholly arbitrary tax of
cent ton" 49,. ---

Il found just the seat I wanted, in the
fourth row from the front. In the seat
in front Of me in the front row, sat a
man; the seat Immediately back of him
was vacant, and the seat back of that
and directly in front of me was occu-
pied by small boy, sitting between his
father and mother; so that besides a
good location, ! had an unobstructel
view, which was one. of the things [
had in mind in choosing the seat OF
course, [ had to take the chances on the
vacant seat, but the chances were at
least even that it would be occupied by
a man, and if it was taken by woman
there was chance that she would not
wear big hat.
when the theater filled up that seat
was taken by a woman, and she had on I,
hat which would have covered the
grass plot in front of a house in the
suburbs, and there grew upon it flowers
and things as tall as the hollyhocks in

a neWly-married man who had never
had much experience in doing small
jobs about the household, says the Phil.
adelphia Record, told several of his as.
sociates Of his first attempt to gain his
Wife's approval by doing a favor for. her.
You know I am very fond Of dogs
said he. .'Well, / purchased a fine little,
fox terrier pup, and he was so full of
ginger that he chewed up every thing
he could get at about the house, and
nearly worried my wife's pet cat to
death. Then she suggested that get
a carpenter to build a pen in the yard
for him. But was strong on the. econ
omy lay, and resolved to build the pen
myself. The first thing did was to
order 10 feet of wire netting. It was
the kind with holes in it about two
inches square. This cost me three dol
lars. When I got home found / had
to have four posts, each five feet long,
and these cost me two dollars. After I
got the posts planted had NO hammer
and nails. These cost me 1920. @
II worked hard at the job for several
evenings, and finally completed it.
Then I called my wife to bring out the
pup, and I also expected to receive
her congratulations. .Triumphantly I
placed the dog inside the Enclosure and
then waited to have my wife bestow her
praise. The pup$walked around the in
closure and then deliberately climbed
up the coarse netting as easily as if it
had been a stepladder and fell over on
the outside, and he's been at liberty
ever since.''

A Real Farm Paper.

There are SO mary alleged farm papers
made up Of hash and shook larnin' " and
filled with partisan politics that it is a
relief to turn to the Northwestern Agri-
culturist of Minneapolis, and note that
it is flied with original and practical in
formation adapted expressly to the needs
OF farms in the Northwest. The North
western Agrlculturlst cares nothing for
party politics although 1t does give rap
occasionally at calamity hoWlers. It
cares great deal, however, for the ad-
vanceElent of the livestock interests and
the improvement of farce methods in this
section, 1t is thoroughly IN touch with
the agricultural Northwest-not Min
nesota only but also Wisconsin, Iowa,
South Dakota and North Dakota.
Its policy is broad, euterprising and
progressive and the key to its success
lies in the idea of its editor, P. Y, Collins,
that farming is a group of sciences and
that in each department there are spe-
ciallists who have something of value to
tell the general farmer.
It's departments for the women and
children are bright and entertaining

We're to be Left Out in the Cold.

We're to be Left Out IN the Cold.
The departure Of Mr.. Frank Johnson.
now commonly known in Duluth as
Nickel Johnson, with q party for Grand
Marais, last Sunday, has again started
speculation as to what will be done this
summer in Cook county That the
johnson Nickel Company, the American
Nickel Company, and the Excelsior.
Nickel Company are working together
now seems to be certainty. BY pur-
chase. or option, this syndicate controls
2 large quantity Of land south Of Gun
flint Range in Cook and Lake counties,
the range of their possession, present
and in future, extending clear across
Cook county from east to west. a very
we'll authenticated rumor says that it is
the intention of this syndicate to build. a
railroad from some point upon Pigeon
Point, probably Wassweninne Bay,
northeasterly to the western boundary
OF Cook county and thence as far west or
north as they require, probably to Ely.
This is feasible scheme and by such q
route very many of the natural difficult
ties in the way of railroad building
through this wilderness would be over
come, or at least materially lessened.
The hills and valleys in Cook county run
nearly east and west, and the descent
from the summit to Pigeon Point is said
to- be more gradual than to Grand
Marais. At Wassweninne Bay magni-
fceut natural harbor exists and the
syndicate have already opened .negot1a-
tions with one Of the principal holders of
land bordering upon this bay, the waters
of which are deep and clear and are COM
pletely sheltered from all winds except
those from due south, which are almost
unknown at this end of Lake Superior
This plan will of necessity sidetrack
Grand 'Marais as far as the Johnson
Observation-Disclosures syndicate is concern
ed, but they are not worrying much
| down in that ancient and fishlike village,
because they know that they have a
good thing in their harbor, and, as far
as nickel and iron mining companies go,
that "there are others.'' Pigeon Point
would make an ideal spot for town and
has considerable advantages to recon-
mend itself to start works such as this
triple nickel syndicate is credited with
the intention of erecting, not only on
account of the splendid harbor adjacent
to it but also on account of the immense
water power that could be obtained from
the falls of Pigeon River. The Chicago
syndicate is at present not saying a word
as to their plans but it will NOT be long
now until they will come in out Of the
brush and begin extensive operations.
This summer will mark an important
epoch in the history of the northeastern
corner of Minnesota.

Is HIS HEART DlSLOCATED.
Wanted Prof. Stratton to Find 1t with
a. the x RAYS.


~ the x Rays.
4 A good story is going around the
campus of the University of Chicago.
On a recent Saturday afternoon while
Prof. Stratton, of the department of
physics, together with an assistant, was
busy working over the anode-cathode-X-
ray problem, and incidentally wonder
ing whether =, Chicago was beating
1linois-his alma mater-down at Cham
paign, a timid knock was heard at the
laboratory door. The knocker was told
to enter the sanctum, the floor of which
was strewn with the debris of tubes
which had been tested and found want
ing.
: When the professor looked up from
his work he beheld middle-aged man,
who appeared to be of the laboring
class. He was accompanied by a friend.
He anxiously inquired whether he had
reached the place where the X rays
were dispensed free of charge. He was
told there was none on tap, but new
consignment was looked for every min
ute from which great results were ex-
pected. The questioner then told pa
thetic tale of how he was suffering
from ''dislocation of the heart" and
wished the "new light" turned on to as
certain the exact whereabouts of that
body. He was told that nothing could
be done-his case was far too serious
to be experimental upon. The poor
fellow left the room with look of dis
appointment on his honest face and was
-last@seen slowly. vending his way zto=
ward the Illinois Central.
