THE SITUATION

The iron ore problem OF 1898 is

citation and the amount of detail in
yolved would indicate that some time
will be required to perfect report
to the general association. Some re-
cent developments have made the sit
Nation little less promising for an
agreement that will include the prop
critics on the Mesaba. Among the
majority OF new range companies the
sentiment is favorable, but the rail
road factor Is still Il dominating one.
while another consideration is the
fact that less than 40 per cent OF the
Mesaba production is sold on the mar
ket, The producing-consuming inter
est, to which the greater part Of the
tonnage belongs, being patrons of the
two companies controlling the trans
portation facilities. Thus the main
tenance of q good freight rate and the
maximum tonnage at the rate is a
prime consideration from the stand
point of certain interests.

has it in his power to make things
lively and rule as he has mind to,
TO eat, the horses have oats, hay
and bran'mash; the men have bread,
beans, dried apple pie, cake, antiquat-
ed pork and sometimes some spoiled
spuds, the pork is unusual Old enough
to vote, but owing to the manner in
which 1t has been sailed, saltpetered,
barreled and brined in Chicago and
Kansas City, it might keep until
Gabe grows old blowing his horn and
still be us edible as now. When fried
it looks crisp, aud to the olfactory
organs its edibleness is brought
into question. When boiled it looks
like the inside of white cows hide,
and tastes like cod liver oil highly sea-
soned with salt, mustard and cheap
Worcestershire sauce, with little
capsicum.
A man who knows good deal about
such pork says that none but lumber
men buy that kind, that it is cooked
for most or ''many" woodsmen, that
boarding bosses reject it, that in pris-
ons and country houses it Is seldom if
ever tolerated, and that when the lum-
Der business is played, it, as a thing
of commerce, is likely to be played
too.
The little white bean, of which the
French boasts such fine "pea soup" is
often seen on the table, and for want
of better lubricant "Oleo" is used to
spread on the bread in order to make
speed in swallowing.
The dried apple pies are something
to be remembered.

up, the men go to the office, get their
time check, go to town. make things

Mining Land Taxes.

County Auditor Halden is engaged
in making ready for the stirring up of
taxes on mining properties in this
country that is to follow the recent
decision of the supreme court to the
effect that the tax of l cent per ton
on ore shipped from the mines was
unconstitutional. This decision
means practically that the shipping
mine have paid no taxes during all
of the time this law was in effect,
though their tax Of l cent per ton
was regularly paid to the state. The
county auditor will proceed as
though no taxes had been paid, and
if the mining companies think they
should be given back the money they
paid under the output tax they will
have to look to the state, to which
they paid it, for recovery.
There will be no opportunity of
guessing even remotely at the
amounts that will be involved in this
proceeding, until the valuations are
all fixed and the taxes placed on the
rolls. There seems to be an idea that
it is the intention Of the auditor to
place all properties on the lists at the
valuations fixed by Judge Nicer in
his findings. While for next year
and future years these valuations,
and even higher ones, may be used,
this is impossible as far as the years
that have elapsed are concerned.
For instance, suppose that in one
township the valuation in one year
had been $4,000 and the rate of taxa
tion 40 mills. A mine valued at
$4,000 is located in the township, and
during the time the output tax was
in effect it paid no taxes to the county.
If the mine was placed on the rolls
for that year at its real valuation it
would raise the valuation to 100000,
but as it would be impossible to lower
the rate to its proper level the mine
would have to pay too much taxes
and the township would get more
than it is entitled to. Therefore, as
it is impossible to lower the rate, the
valuations will have to be placed so
that the new tax will be no more
than it would had the valuation been
placed by the assessor and the rate
fixed in the usual manner. This will
require good deal Of figuring, and
the work will therefore take some
time.
Another feature Of the work is that
many of the iron properties that have
not been worked have paid small
amounts in taxes, not as mining lands
or on anywhere near their real value,
but adjoining pieces on which there
was no suspicion Of iron ore. Those
will be appraised by an official APP
pointed by the governor, and they will
be credited with the taxes they have
paid.
