RAISES MADE IN SEVERAL ITEMS.
Several Members Go to Duluth to In
vestigate Schedules of Stocks
and Merchandise There.

The state board of equalization left
last evening on the IL o'clock train, over
the Eastern Minnesota, for Duluth, to
| make an investigation of the shedules
of the stocks and merchandise, similar
to the examination of the stocks of
| goods carried in ST. Paul and Mime
apolis which was made several days
ago. They will return tomorrow morn
ing. Several members of the board did
no go on the trip, but there was not a
quorum left to transact business today.
The Ramsey county assessments
came in for the attention of the board
yesterday, and there were four vigor-
Gus raises, of which the most impor-
tant was a raise of so per cent in the
assessment of moneys, other than
those of bankers, brokers and stock
johbers, which covers money on de-
post, etc. The assessors returns of
this item were $223,S32 and this will
now be increased to $33574S.
raise of 25 per cent was made in
item %, covering credits, other than
those of bankers, brokers and stock
jobbers. The assessment of this was
placed at $751;, 416, which is now increas-
ed to $959,255,
The Ramsey county saloon assess

Under item %, the board raised the
assessment of bonds and stock, other
than bank stocks, 70 per cent. This had
been turned in at $216,774, and the raise
VIC uld bring it up to 1868, 513; last year
it was 1915, 500 There was a lively
discussion over this raise which was
made at the suggestion of Capt. Hack
EFT, the member of the board from ST.
Paul. Assessor Seng maintained that
it was a great injustice. as many
stocks and bonds which had been valu-
able property a year ago, were now
worse than worthless, especially where
they involved a double liability, as in
these cases a man would actually be
assessed for what he owed 1t was
given out cold" by a member Of the
board that this change would be recon-

county was raised 20 per cent, bringing
it up to $212,S00.
There was decided raise in the sa-
loon assessment of Sherburne county.
1t was turned in at $40, and the board
thought that $50 would be about the
proper figure.
Most of the afternoon session was
taken up by that knotty question of
taxation of railroad equipment COM
panies and fast freight lines, under
the law passed at the last session of
the legislature. Attorney Genral Childs
was called upon to read the statute and
explain the meaning of it's sections,
after which the matter was postponed
fo' action until Friday, and in the
meantime the state auditor will pre-
pare a tabulated statement showing
the amount of taxes paid by the rail-
road companies and these transporta-
ton companies.

fort to jump from the car, but fortu-
nately no one was injured either in the
stampede or the collision. though
rumor, almost Immediately proved in
correct, was current to the effect that
Frederick Malone, the driver of the
wagon, had been thrown over the
bridge into the river.
The accident occurred shortly before
o'clock, when south-bound car be-
came unmanageable almost at the en-
trance of the bridge and slid down
the incline The brake held to some
extent and kept the car from gaining
a dangerous momentum, but could not
bring it to a stop. Frederick Malone,
a farmer living in Dakota county, was
crossing the bridge in the same di-
rCction with load of cabbages and
was caught in the narrow part of the
bridge toward the West side. Some
of the passengers on the car saw the
collision coming and jumped from the
rear platform. Pedestrians called to
Malone but before he could escape the
wagon was struck and damned against
the railing separating the foot pain
from the driveway. Malone was
thrown from his seat. while the still
moving car ploughed the wagon
through several sections of iron up
rights and rails, badly damaging the
vehicle and cutting the horse about
the body. The car did not leave the
track and, when it was learned that
Malone had not been seriously hurt by
his fall proceeded on it's journey.

The school will open week from next

State Superintendent of instruction
Pendergast reports that the girls DOR
mitory constructed this summer will
be filed. 1t will accommodate sixty
girls, but it was expected that only
about half that number would be in
attendance this year, and that by
building a partition half of the build
ing could be occupied by boys. AS it
is, it will be necessary to send some
of the boys to st. Anthony Park to
board, instead of at the school. There
will be over 800 boys at the school this
year.
Owing to the large number of in
quirieS from school teachers outside OF
the state asking for information as to
the requisites for obtaining certificates
enabling them to teach in Minnesota,
Supt. Pendergast is preparing a cir
cular to give them the desired infor-
nation.

BELLS ACTION o. X.
Rousseau County Attorney Endorsed
by Gov. CIOuGh.

by Gov. CIOugh.
They are having jolly little time up
in Roseau county, and it does not ap-
pear to have been improved by the &C
ton of Gov. Clough in the matter.
Last winter County Attorney r. ].
Bell came to st. Paul and labored long
and diligently in the interests of the
Roseau county relief bill, and it is al
legged that he collected his railroad fare
from the county after it and his per
diem had been paid by the Woodmen
of America. At any rate the grand
jury indicted him for misconduct in Of
flee and the charges were laid before
Gov. Clough.
The latter has now written Bell a let
ter in which he says that he has care
fully investigated the charges and
finds them not sustained by the evil
ence; also that there is nothing in
Bells conduct which would warrant
any action on his part.
Of course Mr.. Bell and his friends
are pleased at this termination, but not
so the opposition. The latter say that
the charges will be renewed at the
next session of the grand jury, and
they also charge the governor with
having violated the law by not provid-
ing for a commission to investigate the
matter instead of taking it into his own
hands.
1t appears that there is a factional
feeling in Roseau county and that this
is the outgrowth Of it. Mr.. Bell is not
only the county attorney but also pub
Usher of the Roseau Times.
