Judge Moer, Of the district
court, handed down a decision
sustaining the temporary injunc-
ton restraining the board of
county commissioners from con-
tinulng the work on the miller
Trunk Road north from this city
as proposed by the survey made.
This decision should convey to
the senile skull Of that commits
sioner who asserted that the case
was the outgrowth of jealousy
on the part of Virginians. that
such jealousy was in guarding
our own rights, merely, ard it
further insures the building of a
road straight north from this
city.
In commenting upon the decis-
ion the Duluth papers intimate
the possibility of the board car
rying the matter to the supreme
court, but such procedure on
the part of the board would say
or more Of b1goted stubbornness
than of a desire to serve the peo-
pie, and we do not consider such
a course probable,
It has also been threatened by
the hirelings of adverse interests
that the board would expend the
amount rem aiming from the sale
of the bonds on roads near Du-
luth, leaving Virginia as the
terminus of the Trunk
road, but should the board at.
tempt to do this they would in
all likelihood find that our citi-
zens had not lost sight of them
and would have a mandamus
proceeding to fight, compelling
them to build the road and ex-
pend the money in accordance
with the provisions of the reso-
luton authorizing the issuance
Of the bonds.

over 20, 900, 600 acres. The total
area of the state is about 46, 000,-
600 acres. A reasonable valua-
ton of these railroad lands is
$103, 100000, or about $4,000
per mile. OF these lands the
companies have already received
over 100000 acres, and under
the swamp land act from the
state they have received over
5000, 900 additional.
Regarding the taxing of pine
lands the auditor says that "a
law should be enacted to compel
payment of all taxes before the
timber is cut and imposing heavy
penalties for failure to do So"
Then turning to the taxation
of mines the auditor says:
The zeal and personal prop
erty of iron mining companies
operating in this state has been
placed upon the assessment rolls
for taxation upon valuation
basis. The state revenue fund
may not receive as much from
this mode of taxation as under
the specific tax of 1 cent per ton
under the 1881 law, but the large
advantage will go to the assess
ment district and county where
the mine is located. Another
advantage lis that this land will
bear it's burden of all local and
specific taxes. The assessmen
of mining property for 1896 is as
follows:
Real property of productive mines. s 3.191 ,Ose

"A]l assessed mining proper
ty is in St. Louis county. I am
of the opinion that our general
tax law is ample to regulate the
taxation Of mining property. Un-
der this method such property is
assessed and taxed as other pro
perty and bears it share of state,
county and local taxes.
The auditors conclusions, re-
concentrations regarding min.
eral lands, however, are most
startling. He recommends that
the legislature direct that action
be begun in the courts looking
to the recovery of lands already
conveyed to the Duluth and Iron
Range railroad, amounting to
200, 900 acres and that the re.
naming portion, 100000 acres,
be declared forfeited. These

State Auditor Dunn has trans
mitted his biennial report to the
state Legislature and some start
ling figures and recommendations
are contained, bearing evidence
of a rigid Interpretation of the
law and a careful examination of
the records of the state land de-
partment, dealing at length upon
railroad grants and questioning
the proper transfer or reljnquish

He says he fully realizes the
immense benefit the railroads
have been to the state, but in
view Of the immense grants of
land they have received, he has
deemed it his duty to interpret
the laws rigidly and wherever
there is doubt to give the state
the benefit of it. The general
land department business shows
that the grants of land to rail-
road companies by congress and
by the state Of Minnesota, TO aid
in the construction Of the 5000

but the authorities refused to accept the
offer. and it is already evident the result
will not only be inartistic, but positively
h ileous.
The publication of the programme has
called out to-day a great chorus of pro-
tests. 1t is pointed out that the royal
procession, instead of representing the
glories Of the Victorian era, Will be almost
exclusively military. Science, art and
craftsmanship are all unrepresented. The
colonial vi-itors are only civilians. All
the rest are i'll red coats. The Statesman II
who has been in the larger part of two
generations commemorated more than
any other man living, Gladstone, will not
be seen on tins great day. The partisan
business against Gladstone, by the way,
has been revived to the fullest extent by
his persistent denunciation of the Sultan
and the policy of the powers. His letter
this week suggesting that the representa-
tive of Turkey in the jubilee procession
will nos be well received has been con-
strued by the Tory press into incitement
TO public insult. This is absurd. Even
sober newspaper like the Globe says to-
night:
I'VE do not wish to be disrespectfuI, but
really it would conduce to the gayety of
the nation if some one would, until the
jubilee is over. put Gladstone in a bag, or
better still if the Turkish Embassy would
demand his prosecution for Indictment to
commit a breach of the peace and get
him bound over for good behavior for a
month"
There are important reasons of state
why the jubilee is to be above all things
a great naval demonstration. No oppor-
tuniiy will be lost during the next tort
night to impress upon foreign visitors the

which there is to be a royal evening party

on the whaleback City of Everett burst
forth into yesterday when the last hatch
was screwed down on the cargo of grain
that is being shipped to India to feed the

their remarks to them.

the distribution of the cargo.

The Rev. NJ. G. Harris was the first TO
