The County board completed the work
OF the Annual session on Thursday and
adjourned. The members Of the board
have labored incpsant ely since the 9th.
inst. The proceedings of the board will
appear in the next issue OF the NEWS,
or SO much OF them as space will permit.
and from week to week thereafter.
The committee an claims used the axe
with telling effect, and their repert was
adopted.
The following levy was made by the
BOARD
General County Tax,.................$22, 900
.Judgements... lS,ooo
There was friendly but spirited con
test among the members Of the board
as to how the state and county taxes
should be dpportioned to the several
towns. The boaLd finally assessed and
determined the total value all the prop
erty ia the county, both real and person
al, at $1,000, 900 This amount was
apportioned to to the several towns III
The county as follows:
Eagle RIVER, So1 o,Uoo,oo
Arbnr Yitar....................... 5oo,OOO,OO
IinOcqlll, ......................... 0oU'O''V,uo
By this ipportoinment, Eagle River
will be charged with Al per cent, of the
county and General state Tax, Arbor
y,toe RI ner. cent. and Minocuu % per
cent.
BY the anportionment last year, Eagle
River paid 521a per cent. OF the county
and General state tax. Arbor Vitae -
per cent. and IL fraction, and Miuocba
"a per cent and Il fraction.
According to the report of the com
mssioners appointed by Judge Bardeen
to puualize the assessments in Villas
county, $3.50 90 OF the county taxes
charoeable to the town of Eagle River
under the apportionment this year is to
be charged to and paid by the Town OF
Arbor Vitae. This brings the total
amount OF county tax to be borne by the.
different tows as follows:

Besides The levy of 100000 for
General county tax and to pay Judge
ments, there is a special tax OF 100000
for salary of superintendent OF schools
and also a special levy as required by
law for the support of the common
schools.
The SECRETARY OF State has certified he
state tax for this county at "a, l46. We
believe the members OF the county board
performed the arduous and Important
duties imposed on them conscientioulA.
We predict that the result OF their lahorS
will prove satisfactory to the taxpayers
generally. While the NEWS, with many
I theirs, feels that unnecessary reductions
were made by the board in some claims
filed for audit, still we realize thar this is
proper time to curtail expenses and we
murmur NOT.

VALUE Of A NEWSPAPER.

The value of a tirst-class, reliable
as a reflex Of city cannot be ad-
equately guaged. The writer recalls
remark made a few years ago by
DR.. G. b. Crane, now a resident of
st. Helena, Napa county, California:
In conversation, the doctor said:
PISS me a newspaper of any place and
| can determine it's standing" 1t
should be mentioned that DR.. Crane is
man who has passed some years
above four score in life, and is very
conservative in his expression. What
he means was, that in looking over
the general makeup, advertising pat
ronage, etc, he could fairly estimate
the character of the business interests
and general features. SO it is every
where! A newspaper with wide cir
culation is very closely scanned by
outside parties Merchants and Others
look to see who are advertising and
sometimes determine whether or not
to give orders to correspond with
houses in city, through the appear
dnce Oh UHe paper "A newspaper ls
supposed to be a pretty good reflection
of the town or city itself. 1t be-
rooves every business man to remem-
oer this circumstance. When you eX-
tend patronage to a reliable journal
you are but assisting yourself Every
business man is looking for support.
Is there an interest in the city more
deserving of unlimited patronage than
a representative newspaper? And yet,
some leading merchants and manu-
facturers are mighty chary about CIV
ing any patronage. Such will do we'll
to remember, that when favors are dis

milton. Press and Printer.

A PROMISING YOUTH.

Il give a great deal of thought to
that little boy across the street." said
a delightful old lady on Piety Hill who
holds some sort of motherly relation
ship to all the children in the neigh
borhood. He's the most stirring little
fellow l ever saw. He cant be more
than 4, is as fair as a girl and has
long taken curls, but he has more en-
ergy and enterprise than half the men.
I've tried to caution him against be-
ing too combative, but he has very
mature sense of what his rights en-
title him to and his chubby little fists
come promptly into play when there
is an attempt TO trespass upon such
rights. 1t is remarkable that SO little
mite of humanity can make such a
disturbance.
Think of him climbing tree with
bis toy train of cars, running them
over the roof of the house and letting
them down into a manhole of the big
sewer just because his budding mind
is convinced that the world of in
vention is not up with the procession
and that cars should run everywhere
Thee is not night that he doesn't
run his train up stairs to the bed
room with a mighty footing and put
fing, and he announces his waking in
the morning by rafting his fast ex-
press down stairs to the breakfast
room with racket enough to serve the
whole neighborhood as an alarm
clock.
Just yesterday he was over to have
me telephone at once for the police.
He Was in deadly earnest and resented
the fact that l asked questions when
the matter was so pressing. By dint
of questioning l learned that a little
playmate had taken his hat and ran
y it'll it for half block. | couldn't con-
vince that little A-vaar-ald that it was
not a case for the patrol wagon and
he left me with the dire threat that
he was going right home and build
a real train of cars and run over that
boy on the first trip. Half an hour
later l saw them playing amicably to-
gether, but I'm positive that my little
curly head will do something very out
of the ordinary if he's spared to be
a man. detroit Free Press.

WAS A KING FOR THREE MONTHS
The Luck of Sea Captain Wrecked
Near the Caroline Islands.

Capt. Curtis of the wheat ship Fury
d ce was in the city recently. having
returned with his vessel to the West
Seattle elevator. He has had an eX-
perience within the past IL months
that might make many skipper en-
vlous having ruled as king of group

Capt. Curtis was the first officer of the

boats and left her at sea. had SIX
men with me in one boat, and the
Icaptain went in another boat. My boat
headed for the Caroline islands, and
after Is days we came in sight OF

the natives, who could not do enough
to honor us. lkickikee, king of the
Carolines, insisted that he should alb

successor. | did not assume the royal
garments and robes, for etiquette down

NEW WAY TO MAKE A TOWN.
Russia is Building 1t First and Will
Supply the Inhabitants Later

An engineer and some workmen
have been busy for months near the
Arctic ocean making little town,
says the New York Sun. They have
not bothered their heads about the in
nabitants, for the Russian government
| Will see to that. Instead of a lot of
persons settling in the same place
and making a town, the town is being
built and the residents will come
later The town has already been
provided with name before anybody
lives in it, and the most imposing
hing about the town as yet is this
name. There was nothing there a
year ago to show that white man
had ever seen the site. but now it
is beginning to look something like
town, needing only inhabitants to
make it quite a go-ahead place.
The town is in the bay of Kola, neal
the Arctic coast of Russian Lapland,
q flat and embarrassing region, in a
large part of which scarcely shrub,
much less tree, will grow.
In August last year the Russian
government sent to the site of the
proposed town, which had already
been selected civil engineer named
Olsen, whose speciality is harbor i'm
provements, and soon 20 men under
his direction were at work building
a couple of piers out into the hay for
the use of the fishing craft, which will
give the town all it's importance. Last
winter so wooden buildings were con-
structed at Archangelsk, on the other
side of the White sea. 1t is probable
that the work is now going on of
transporting them to the coast of the
Arctic ocean, where they will be ham
mered together and set up for the
people who are going to live in the
rev town, and as soon as everything
Is ready the town of Kola. farther
south, will be abandoned, everybody
there will be transferred at the ex-
pense Of Russia, and Jekaterinograd
W II be all ready to begin business.
The thing that will make the town
is the Arctic fisheries in the neighbour
hood, which employ about 1,500 men
every summer For the purposes of
these hardy toilers the new town Is
much more conveniently situated than
Kola. and that is the reason why Kola
is to be deserted and new town
sprung up nearer the sea.

TOPICS OF THE TOWN.

The bicycle face has had its day,
and now the golf face" is attracting
the attention of students OF the effects
of pursuits on mind and body. The
golf face" does not look as though
it is going to run into something or
get run into. 1t looks as If it is look
ing for something. The eyes have a
sort of steady, inquiring gaze and there
is an expression OF doubtful hope III
them. This is the legitimate result
of a game which has been described in
this wise: You take a very small
white ball and a very large club. You
swing the club around four or five
times and you smash the small white
ball. If you find it on the same day
you win"
Some people consider that tennis
is fit only for women, said devotee
of the game, but they are people who
never had racquet in their hands.
1t requires all OF the qualities which
go to make up good athlete any
wbere-skill, quickness, strength en-
durance, brain and nerve. With the
possible exception of fencing, it is the
most exhausting of sports. A man
who plays five hardfought sets gets
more exercise anG works harder and
faster than any member of ball nine
outside OF the pitchers box. There
is no game so healthful and not one
hat will put a man into good condi-
ton so fast 1t beats even handball.
