ELY, MINNESOTA, FEBRUARY 2, 1900.
May b. Held.

There may be another forfeited tax
sale in Duluth this year, after all, In
spite OF tue action of the county
board, on the suggestion of County
Attorney Phelps, ordering County
Auditor Halden not to have one.
Mr.. Phelps discovery that the law
providing for the sale is not a good
one seems SO far as the reports have
come in to be confined strictly to
himself, and this is the only county
in the state where the authorities
have decided not to obey the law.
AS Il matter of fact it is Il some
what unique occurrence for public
officers to decide not to obey law,
which is clearly mandatory, because
they have been told that it is not Il
good law. There has been so much
adverse criticism Of the action of the
county board that County Auditor
Halden has decided to have the list
prepared, so that it can be proceeded
with in the manner provided by law,
and in the meantime he has gone to
st. Paul to lay the matter
before the governor and the attorney
general. If they say the law is AL
right, the forfeited tax will be
held.
The issue is wholly whether the
law is good or not. If the law is good
it will undoubtedly be the duty Of
the county officers to hold the sale.
regardless Of the fact that IL sale
was held here last year. If u fault.
in calling two sales in succession ii
is with the legislature, and
it seems that there is no option
for the county officers bal
to obey ii law which, as State Audi
tor Dunn says, is mandatory, convey
ing, us it does, a direct command to
perform certain duties.
The refusal of the county officers
to obey the law is due entirely to
County Attorney Phelps, who have
advised them not to obey the law be-
cause it is not good, Any punish
ment for not obeying the law would
not'be likely to affect them, for they
have the county attorneys
written opinion to fall back upon.

Welcome Snow.

About three inches of snow made
its appearance Friday and Saturday
and there probably never was a time
when snow was more welcome than
just at present. On the top of this,
the thermometer has been gambol-

all this week. The loggers have been
conducting their work under great
difficulties on account of the absence
of snow. Now there is enough to
to help them out in good shape,
