The Finance committee reported having
gone over the Assessors duplicate, and
finding two properties omitted which were
added. Also. an omission as to the
assessment OF dogs, the Assessor having
understood that the enumeration was only
for the year of the passage of the ordinance.
Mr.. Best said that as the Assessor Of the
city did greater amount of labor than any
other Assessor in the county, for less COM
pensation, the Finance committee recon-
mended that the committee be empowered
to take canvass Of the dogs and present
the same to the Commissioners of Appeals
for assessment.

the Assessor. Had this official failed to
assess the real estate, it would be just as
to employ another person to do
that duty, as to employ one to do this
work now. This official is the second
highest salaried official in the city, and he
receives $500 for labor which could be
into months time. 1t was a
question whether we had right to assign
any one else to the duty He should be
satisfied if we let him off without vote
Of censure.
Mr.. Sithens thought the Assessor should
make the canvass. When the vote was
taken ON Mr. Best's motion, the President
was unable to decide, and instead OF roll
call, there was more talk between Messrs.
Reading and Best at the conclusion of
which Mr.. Best renewed his motion that
the Finance committee make canvass Of
dogs and present same to the Commissioners
of Appeal for assessment.
DIR. Reading move to amend that the
Assessor be directed to make the canvass
under direction of the Finance committee.
The President was unable to decide the
vive voce vote and division was called
for, which resulted as follows:
No.-Batten, Best, Davis.

The amended motion was then adopted.

Mr. Best said he was informed much of the
amount of last named bill was doing work
and placing gravel between trolley tracks
and gutter in first ward and wanted to
know if it was so He was answered that
it was true He said it was the business of
the trolley company to hold up their own
stone. Mr.. Munyan and DR.. Reading de-
Tended the expenditure Mr.. Best said so
far as he could see this gravel was put next
to the trolley tracks. 1t looked to him as
though somebody was looking for job for
somebody, and this was the only thing they
could find for them. 1t seemed to him
that this thing should stop. We must find
something for the city team to do, or sell
them. DR.. Reading plead newness in city
business, but acting with the light he bad,
now was the time to put gravel on the
streets If you wanted it to stay.
Mr. Munyan said il he had hauled a
load more than he ought to, be was sorry
for it.
Mr.. Sithens opposed hiring outside teams
when we have city team.
Mr. Davis said it simmered down to this,
that we must either stop the sprinkling or
hire extra teams to do this hauling, and we
can settle this matter quickly This ended
the kick over bills.

As we stated in the opening paragraph
the Clements and Beetles were neighbors,
owners of adjoining farms. These neigh
bors were not on good terms, their differ
ences growing out of the use by Clement Of
a road through the Beetle farm as an avenue
for reaching his residence Last year Beetle
undertook to close up the road and prevent
Cltment reaching his home that way.
Clement took the matter to Court and won
his contention that it was public road by
reason Of long use, and Beetle was enjoined
from closing it.

PLAYED II DRAW

The game of football played on
the Tower campus last Saturday af-
ternoon between the High School
teams of Tower and Virginia result
ed in draw, neither side being able
to score touchdown.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Virginia boys are much heavier
than those of Tower and more sys-
tematic in their work, our boys sue
ceeded in holding them down beau
tifully. In the first half the Virgin
ians succeeded in crowding Tower
down within a few yards of their
goal, and it began to look as though
they were going to score a touch
down. AT a critical moment, how
ever, Harvey Owens obtained poss-
ession of the pigskin and making a
magnificent run covered fully one
third of the distance across the
grounds. Hickey repeated the dose
few moments later and the call of
time found the boys battling hard
within five yards of the Virginia
goal.
In the second half Tower kicked
off and from that moment until
time was called both sides worked
heroically for game. Back and forth
they swayed, first one way and then
another. In this half some brilliant
playing was done on both sides and
for time it was difficult to tell who
was getting the best of the deal.
Virginia had the ball when game
was called.
The game was an exceedingly in
teresting one from start to finish.
Both clubs played with a determi-
nation to win and buckled into the
mixups in a manner that would put
modern day prize fighter to shame
The Virginia boys are gentlemen
and conducted themselves as such
throughout the game. The return
game will be played at Virginia one
week from next Saturday.-Tower

PASSING or THE BICYCLE.

The decadence of the bicycle is
clearly shown by the reports of the
Treasury department. Four years
ago, when ;all the world was on
wheels, this country exported to the
rest of the world bicycles and parts
of them to be made up abroad val
ned at ST ,898.O12. The next year the
value .of wheels sent abroad was
$7OO5,323. This was the highest
point reached during the craze. In
1898 the exports fell to $6,846,529, in
1899 to So, ,753,5 $50, and in 1900 to $3,551,-
025. The steadily dropping figures
indicate the gradual disuse of the
wheel abroad as we'll as in this
country. But it will not disappear
altogether. The novelty of the BIZ
cycle simplyis gone, and from a fad
it has become an article of use. In
stead of being ridden merely as a
diversion, it will be employed by
those who wish to get to business
in a quick and economical way.

STATE TIMBER SALE.

Seventy-five million feet of stand
ing pine, spruce, tamarack and &C.
dar belonging to the state will be
sold to the highest bidder at the
state capitol on November 14th. The
major portion of this timber stands
on school lands, though consider
able amount is on isolated tracts of
state swamp lands. The sale will
include timber in St. Louis, Itasca,
Cass, Beltrami, Becker, Crow Wing,
Aitkin and Hubbard counties, and
a conservative estimate of values
made by the state auditor is that
the stumpage to be sold should
bring between 100000 and $25O,OOO.
The timber cruisers in the employ
of the state have been busy all sum
mer in the northern tier of counties
making up a list of timber tracts
owned by the state and appraising
the valuation of the growth upon
them. This list has been passed
upon by the State Timber Board,
composed of Gov. Lind, State Audi
tor Dunn and State Treasurer Koer-
ner, who have made selections of
the lots to be sold. The timber is
valued at from $3.50 to $500 thous-
and, according to quality and loca-
ton.
The state has held no timber sale
for two years. This fall, however
the board decided to dispose of a
considerable amount, partly on ac-
count of the excellent prices that
prevail. The sales are made sub
ject to a permit from the state linn
iting to two years the time in which
the timber may be removed. The
lands on which the timber stands
will remain in possession of the
state and the money received will
go into the states permanent funds
Through the sales the permanent
school, the permanent university
swamp and state institutions funds
will receive substantial additions.

INCREASED SHIPMENTS.

Despite the unfavorable weather

the September shipments from the
Minnesota ranges showed an in
crease of over 100000 tons as against
the same period a year ago. The

rare that a range man asks for an
office, but if he does he is easily
convinced that he had better wait
until next, time.
Some Reas0ns Given by the Range

Some Reas0ns Ginen by the Range

Should be Carried at the
Coming Election.
1st. At present nearly all mort
gage foreclosures and expirations
of redemption are published in Du-
luth papers. If the county was di-
vided these legal publications and
a large number of others, would be
required by law to be published in
range papers. A low estimate upon
that work would pay to the range
papers $4,000 a year.
End. If the county was divided
and set of county officers located
in the new county, their salaries
will be earned by fees for work done
there, and they will spend the bulk
of the salaries 80 earned among the
business men on the ranges. The
money to pay those salaries will not
be- raised by taxation but will be
earned by the fees of the Offices. OF
course the fees of the Offices at Du-
luth will be reduced. That will be
an unfortunate, but necessary re-
suit.
.,3rd. At present if some poor dev-
il is sick and out of money, and
happens to live on the ranges, he is
told that he may get help by apply
ing to the poor commissioner, resi-
dent at Duluth, one hundred miles
away, or by looking up a member
of the board of county commission
ers, resident at Tower. Of course if
he has money he doesn't need to
apply for help, and if he has none
he can't get it. In Duluth it is diff
erent, because if really in need he
can get assistance by application to
the proper authorities, who are at
his door.
4th. In the past little money has
been paid for building of roads on
the ranges, and what has been paid
has been begrudged by Duluth and
spent at such long range by the
board Of commissioners sitting in
Duluth that the most of it has been
wasted, and the trails that have
been, located, called roads, can now
be found in most instances only by
a surveyor.
5th The money that will be col.
lected from the ranges on the pres
ent valuation would build a new set
of county buildings, and leave mon
ey in the treasury with which to
build roads, and the continuation
of like valuations and the raising OF
an equal sum each year would pay
all necessary expenses, and soon
build macade1nized roads between
all the towns on the two ranges, fur
nish employment for labor, and a
general condition of prosperity that
will be hard to get while the ranges
play tail to the Duluth kite.
9Th. Of course, if the people on
the ranges don't think they need
macadamized roads it will not be
necessary to raise so much money;
half the amount will be ample.
