THE GAZETTE this week publishes
a list of the delinquent taxes, as
we'll as the clerk S list of lands to
be sold absolutely on account of the
tracts having been forfeited for de-
linquent taxes prior to 1897. Inas-
much as the lists'required the work
of two men from Wednesday noon
until eleven O o'clock SATURDAY. night,
with the help of third man during
a portion Of that time, our readers
will pardon US not giving them
more reading matter, aside from the
list, this and next week. It can be
said of the clerk s forfeited list that
there will probably not be another
list in the State of Minnesota which
will be so complete. Every year
for which a tax is delinquent is
stated in the columns, while other
counties, instead Of repeating the
year run it as follows; from 1886
to 1895 inclusive" or as the case
may be. In order to comply with
the form submitted to the printer
by the auditor and clerk The GA
zErTE used about $500 figure IS,
and there are probably 5000 figure
IS in this edition.
