A Dangerous Practice.

Parties cutting ice on the river
here are in the practice ofleaving the
holes in an unprotected condition.
This is criminal carelessness and
those interested should watch out
that they are not called upon to an
swer to the authorities for their neg
lect to place sufficient protection
around such places. 1t is only a
year or two ago since one OF our citi-
zens lost little son from this cause
and this should be a lesson. There
are several such death traps now ex-
listing, one more dangerous than the
rest from the fact that it is right at
the foot OF a hill that offers great
temptation to the boys and girls
with coasting sleds. Should some
one of them take a notion to try
the coasting of this hill without in
vestigating the bottom, the result
is easy to imagine

Some Fast Settling.

L. Henderson says one of the
greatest surprises he has experienced
this season was while he was out on
that trip last week. He got up into
the northeastern part OF the county,
and while transacting the business
that took him up there, made in
quiries about the number OF home
steads there were in that part OF the
county. He was informed that the
two townships that we're about eigh-
teen months ago entirely without a
settler. had now been filed upon.and
thatss there were no homesteads, open
that's worth having. This land has
in most part been filed on by actual
settlers who are erecting farm build
ings and preparing to go into farm
ing operations. /--.s- IS.

McCOLLO1 ON GROSS EARNINGS
G. J. McCOllOm's Views on Gross
Earnings Tax.


In the following letter, which has
also been published in the Hallock
papers, Mr.. McCollom argues in favor
of a reduction of freight rates and
against an increase in the gross earn
ings tax:
EDITOR SHEAF Please permit me
through your valuable columns to
make suggestion to the farmers and
all others that have any interest in
the general welfare of Northwestern
Minnesota.
1t is much to be regretted that the
Anderson law has been annulled by
the United States supreme court.
Since this is the case there is little
doubt but what the legislature will at
the approaching session pass a law to
increase the gross earnings tax upon
railways.
Now it seems to me that all these
Northwestern counties should make a
move at once to get reduction in
freight rates, rather than to endorse
the bill to increase the gross earnings
tax. If the said tax is increased the
five larger cities will get more than
half of the benefit, and the share of
the increased tax that will inure to
the benefit of our own counties will be
too small to be Of any note, while if
we can get reduction Of only five
per cent on freight rates this would
mean a reduction of $3.50 on every
thousand bushels of wheat shipped
from Hallock to Duluth or Minneapo-
lis, and proportionate reduction on
shipments from other stations in this
and adjoining counties. Then again
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1900-12-27

through the Anderson law being
knocked out, our own county will
loose the taxes on thousands of acres
of railway lands that are still held
here. This direct loss to the county
will probably be five times as much
as the indirect benefit that our county
viii receive through any increase that,
may be made in the. gross earnings
tax.
My suggestion therefore briefly is
this, that we send largely signed petit
tons tothe legislature asking it to
enact law whereby the gross earn
ings tax on railways shall not be less
than three per cent nor more than
five per cent against any railway, but
that the specific rate for each railway
shall be determined and ordered by
the Board of Railway and Warehouse
Commissioners.
Also that we petition the Board of
Railway and Warehouse Commission
ers to be filed with the new Board as
soon as possible asking for a reason
able reduction in freight rates on
grain, potatoes, coal and wood, etc.
Then if the said Board of Railway
and Warehouse Commissioners CON-
plies with our petition for a reduction
in freight rates, and issues an order
to the Great Northern Railway for the
reduction, and this railway complies
with such order without litigation,
then in that event it should be under
stood that the Board of Railway and
Warehouse Commissioners shall not
order any increase in the gross earn
ings tax of this road from the rate it
is now paying, three per cent. But
if the road refuses to comply with
! such an order from the Board of Rail-
. way and Warehouse Commissioners,
{ the Board can increase it's tax to even
five per cent.
| Such legislation will give the Board
+ of Railway and Warehouse Commits
sioners sufficient power that the rail-
ways will not disregard the Boards
orders with impunity as they often do
now, but would quite likely consent to
reduction in rates when ordered.
If these suggestions impress any of
your readers favorably and they de-
sire to act on them, l will send blank
petitions to be circulated to all who
will write or call for them.
Yours truly,
@. J. MCCoLLoM.

Notices were served yesterday to the
property owners of the coal lands be-
tween Glencoe and Lewis Mills, west
of Bellaire, on the B. & o., to prepare
their deeds for the coal underlying
their property The amount of this
territory is 1000 acres, and the options
call for ten dollars per acre, making
the amount paid for this block Of coal
land $4,000. The options are held by
Merritt Green, OF Pittsburg, who is
said to be a member of a large coal
firm of that city. The options were
taken some months ago, and have been
taken up much earlier than was an
ticipated by the property owners. The
vein is six-foot one, and the coal will
be tapped by shafting. This coal has
high standard on the market, and 1t
is said the price paid was very low
and the owners would make a large
profit out of the deal. They estimate
that each acre will yield $4,000 bush
els of coal, which will make the
amount of coal lying in this territory
about 1850. 100000 bushels Of coal.

A merry rate war in coffee and sugar
is now going on among the local
wholesale dealers. For the past week
or so various dealers have been more
or less secretly cutting the prices of
articles in the grocery line, and yester-
day morning a prominent Main street
firm announced a rather big cut, which
probably eclipses any Of the others.
The firm has cut the price of Ar
buckles coffee from S12.64 to $12 per
one hundred pounds, and Lion coffee
from SILICA to Sill per one hundred
pounds. The same firm has also re-
duced the price of sugar from s5.35 to
SIS per one hundred pounds. From
present indications the cutting will
continue and it is uncertain just how
low the prices of these articles may
go.
