DOUBTLESS acting upon the idea
of Auditor Halden in refusing hunt
ing licenses to minors, the State
Game and Fish Commission is out
in circular letter to county audi
tors suggesting the propriety of
refusing licenses to that class. The
letter also states, truly enough, that
there are great many adults!who
ought to be denied the privilege,
but that cannot be done.
Luke Harcourt, who shot and kill
ed Mike Shields in an Eveleth sa-
loon in a row over the famous Elv
lake dam, has been sentenced to a
term of eighteen months in the
Saltwater penitentiary by Judge
Dibell. The humor of St. Louis
county justice may be noted by
comparison of this sentence with
that of Bert Bellinger, who was re-
Gently sentenced in district court at
Duluth to eight years Imprisonment
for stealing set of false teeth and

THE personal tax case against the
Rat Portage Lumber Company, ar
guments in which we're commenced
in district court Monday, came to
close by stipulation of attorneys
The suit was for logs cut in the
northern part of the county, which
we're placed on the assessment rolls
at 50 per thousand. The company
refused to pay, claiming discrimi-
nation, the logs alongside the mills
in the city Of Duluth having been
assessed at only $2.75 per thousand,
and an c'ninertly proper con1pro,n-
Use was effected upon the latter BIAS

cans and Republican editors par.
ticulnrly, can point with pride, is
the work of the board of equalna-
ton. 1t was Gov. Lind's custom in
his last campaign to speak glow,
ingly Of how "1ny" board of equali-
zation had added half million dol
lars to the tax rolls of the state
This board was appointed by Gov
Van SAINT, but is not "his," but
the peoples b ,ard, and in two items
alone it added $1.65OOOO to the tax
rolls, and if even one of Gov. Lind's
hold-over appointees had stood out
with Auditor Dunn there would
have been another item of 100000
charged up to great corporation
The mining and city railway com
panies were raised over a million
and a half, and the Minneapolis Gas
comp any escaped a 100000 raise by
a single vote.-Weekly Bulletin
