County's Statement.


The financial statement of St. Louis
county, which is to be published next
month, has been prepared in the office
of the county auditor, and it is ready
for the board Of county commission
ers to look over at its meeting next
week. There is not a great deal in
the statement that the board has
power to change but in one or two
particulars the board is likely to give
it some revision. The statement will
make interesting reading.
The schedules of assets and liabilit-
les shows the county to be thoroughly
solvent. The liabilities are S746, sos. 81
and the assets $40, 5O0,251.81 and the
surplus of assets over liabilities is
$42, 1853, 686.14. The liabilities are
divided as follows: Bonded indebt-
edness, S64l, $50; interest Indebtedness
s25.812; orders outstanding, s72, SIS. 80;
redemption fund on hand, s.6SS. 2s;
total, s746.565.67. The assets are
divided as follows: Assessed valua-
tion of the county, $40, 71S. 1871; 1897
taxes outstanding, $50, 4O4.66; taxes
for prior years, Sill 600; taxes for 1898
now due, s131.l47.10; funds in the
treasury, s267, TAOS; amount in sink
ing fund, invested in county bonds,
$50, 900; value Of county buildings and
property, s163, 900; total, s43.5Oo, PSI 81.
OF the funds in the treasury SILL
622. SO is in defunct banking institut-
ions, and while it is carried on the
auditors books as cash on hand it
will hardly realize much for the
county.
The total receipts from all sources
for the year, including the balance
leftover from last year, were 1,791,-
292.S4. The total disbursements were

Not a Full Pledged Citizen.

1.-THE Duluth Herald answers the
question as to citizenship asked by
an Eyeleth reader. The question and
answer follows:
'If a man has what is commonly
called first papers, when his son comes
to this country at the age of eight
years, can the said son-on reaching
his majority-vote in the state of
Minnesota, providing he is an habit
ual resident? In other words is the
son full -fedged citizen at the age
of 81?
No. He may, upon showing to the
court that he, arrived in the United
States before the agssof Is. receive
second papers Immediately, and he
then may vote, providing his second
papers are secured more than three
months prior to the election at which
he exercises his franchise.

Auditor Explains.

County Auditor Halden in reference
to his recent request for the county
board to endorse measure allowing
him $1,000 more for clerk hire during
the coming year: ''If I had not need
ed the increase I should not have
asked for it. My men are kept at
work steadily, as hard as any other
set in the court house, and we could
not do with less men than we have at
any time. If the forfeited tax sale
comes off there will be vast amount
of additional work to do. In spite OF
this I should not have asked the
board to act upon the matter if I had
not been assured by all of them that
they were in favor of it. The board
endorsed the measure, though two OF
them voted against it,"
