GAINESVILLE.

From the Argus:
J. A. Markhim of Alma City was a
visitor in town Monday. He is rather
skeptical relative to the prospects of a
railroad basing his opinion on the
outlook for bonds Freedom will
probably vote down the proposition.
A lawn tennis club was organized
Saturday we learn with Mr. J. Ed

spirit in the new sport so far as actual
playing is concerned.
Rev. R. N. Joscelyn left this morn
ing for Mineral Point, Wisconsin,
where he will remain with his family
until Monday, when he will depart for
Fredericka in the southern part of
Delaware. Mr.. Joscelyn's friends re-
greet his departure and they trust that
he will be eminently successful in his
new field of labor.
Yesterday afternoon Messrs Ira
WEIGH and Eddie Golf canvassed the
town for the purpose of raising fund
to defray the rental of park grounds
for the enusing year and we are pleas
ed to say they met with success.
Their appeal met in almost every in
stance with favorable response. 1t is
the intention to keep the grounds in
good condition and to make such a re.
sort as the town may require and need.

: The Omaha railway has agreed to
donate fifteen carloads of gravel to the

GRAPE RAISING IN MINNESOTA
A Few Interesting Points Upon the Gull
tiyatiOn of That LusciOu us Fruit.

The Hon. M. II. Dunnell writes to
the Owatonna Chronicle as follows up
on the matter of grape raising in this
state, which will be of interest to all
who desire to cultivate the fruit, and
there is hardly any one but who might
have at least few vines.
This is the time when farmers and
gardeners who intend to set out some
grape vines this year should make an
order for them They can be ordered
as late as the middle of May, but it
will be time to set out when received
on an order made now.
1t has been to me matter of wonder
that so many people who have the
space of land where they can set and
grow vines, fail to have single vine.
Early grapes can now be had that are
sure to get ripe before we have any
killing frosts. The grape taken from
the vine is far more luscious than one
imported, there is immense pleasure in
seeing them grow, and it is an easy
matter to take care of them.
1 have had grapes for twenty-five
years and have had much pleasure
from them. In this county, l mean in
this state, we should set out only the
very earliest grapes For many years
| bought my vines from Geo. w.
Campbell of Delaware, Ohio. He died
two years ago. He made great be-
quest to grape growers in the early
grape, now called CampbelPs Early.
1t is proving to be a great success.
If | should be asked what grapes to
raise l should say. Campbell's Early,
Moore's Early, Worden, Brighton and
Agawam. Would certainly take two
of each of the above before l went out
side. l should be satisfied to have q
vineyard of 100 vines wholly made up
of the above.
There are other grapes that will get
ripe very generally but not always.
The Delaware is one of these. 1t is SO
good that l should want to have some
of them. The Woodruff Red is an
other and exceedingly fine but not
early. The Linley is another but not
so early. This and the Graetner are
not early but generally get ripe. Their
goodness has given them place in my
yard. I would have Niagara because
of its size and beauty. 1t is rather
late. l would not set out the Concord,
EARLY Victor, Champion, Martha
Hartford, Lady, Goethe, Empire State
or Wilder.
Geo. S. Josselyn of Fredonia, N. Y,
raises excellent vines and sells them at
very low prices. He will send his
catalogue to such as ask for it by a
postal. Yours,
NJ. II. DUNNELL.

TAXATION MATTERS.
Sentiment as Expressed at Austin Before
the Tax Commission.

Austin May 3.-Tax Commissioners
Childs, Ives and Hahn was here yester-
day and met representative taxpayers
from different parts of the county.
The principal speakers this morning
were S. G. Briggs, j. j. Furlong. G.
Proeshel, S. A. Smith, J. w. G. Dins-
moor and c. D. Belden. Mr. Briggs,
deputy auditor, told how taxes were
assessed in this county. Mr.. Furlong
thought farm lands were unequally as
sessed. Blooded stock if assessed at
full value would injure the introduce
ton. He also thought that to tax
mortgages at full value would drive
the rate of interest upon the borrower
Mr.. Proeshel said little attention was
paid to the difference in farm build
ings and improvements in assessing
farm lands.
S. A. Smith advised handing to
every taxpayer blank and let him
make out his own list and swear to it.
Real estate in cities should be assessed
at least once in two years, as values
change rapidly in particular localities.
J. W. Dinsmoor said that equalization
boards are dilatory and gave little at
tention to readjustng assessment rolls.
He thought the county assessor or
supervisor should be appointed to give
his whole time to the Office and study
taxation in each precinct and oversee
all values and have power unlimited to
rectify. Mr.. Belden thought the pub
licity of assessments essential, as in
Chicago. The 800 exemption should
be removed or modified, so that every
citizen should be on the tax roll, even
if only for few cents. In Austin,
out of /, 262 on the personal property
assessment rolls, only $50 are on the
tax rolls.
The general sentiment among those
thus far examined seems to be that a
county supervisor of taxes or county
board of review for that special pur-
pose alone should be appointed that
all mortgages should be taxed at a
level rate through the state; that
either a poll tax or the removal of the
exemption should bring everyone on
the tax rolls, and that tax dodger S
should be severely dealt with.

even more good than was anticipated.
The facts as enumerated in these col

would still be barren waste.

will be saved, though the chances are
much more promising than they have
been.
