GONE TO THE MINES
State Board of Equalization Visits
.-a=c., Northern Counties.

The state board Of equalization left last
evening for the iron range. They will
make an inspection tour of the mines and
ore properties, in order to be better quail
fed to assess them. They will return and
take up the work Monday. It Is not
likely that the board will raise the ST.
LOUIS county figure Of $3O,00O,0 00
State Auditor Dunn addressed the board
yesterday afternoon on the subject OF
franchise assessments. He favored flair
raise for the Twin City Rapid Transit
company. He wanted 100000 added tc
the assessment of the Minneapolis Gas
Light company, which is assessed $751;, 00C
on It's franchise this year. He said that an
error in the proceedings Of the last board
caused the omission Of some real estate
and that the company had resisted all at
tempts toward an adjustment. In order tc
bring Its assessment up he would add tc
the franchise value. He would have ar
advance made in the st. Paul Gas Light
cOmpany's assessment. The Minneapolis
General Electric company's assessment, he
said, should stand at the increased figure
of 1869, 900.
Two protests were received from Mime
apolis and referred to committees. One
was against raising the assessment on sa-
loon fixtures. The other was against the
valuation Of elevators. 1t was stated that

The writer's cook prefers this to hard

Where people use stoves for heating
we have up-to-dat soft coal burners

derful "Cole Hot Blast" heater, which
by thorough experiment, we know to
to be a perfect wonder-smokeles

without any difficulty. e..
Then There Is Ignite. Here again
we have experimental until now we
are able to furnish a stove which will
burn Ignite perfectly. It needs a spec
1al CRATE, that is ALL to give the best
RESULTS.
Then last there Is "Rocky Mountain".
Coal, a carload of which has just been
received, and which works quite nicely
in Self Feeders-rot as nicely as hard
coal, to be sure-there is little more
smoke and the liability to emit gas
if left altogether to itself; but a little
watching makes it very satisfactory
fuel It Is the best substitute for hard
coal we know Of.
So there you have 1t; we are not de-
pendent after all on hard coal, al
though we still believe we shall have
plenty Of it before January. We have
been doing a lot Of experimenting,
realizing that our customers would OK
pect us to furnish them intelligent ad-

Don't bother, even If you have not a
bucket Of hard coal In your bins. See
us and we will show you a way out
Of your difficulties.

The socialist labor party demands a
place on the ballot for it's candidate for
governor. Secretary of State Hanson has
been cited to appear before Judge Jag
gard Of the Ramsey county district court
to show cause why he should not receive
and file the petition nominating Thomas
Van Lear Of Minneapolis for governor.
The petition is signed by 1000 electors.
The petitioner Is Charles G. Davidson Of
St. Paul, secretary Of the socialist labor
state committee. The petition was re-
fused on the ground that the socialist
ticket, already filed, had the right to use
of the name. In reply the socialist labor
party said that since 1896 it had enjoyed
the use of the name in this state, and
could not be deprived by the claims of the
socialists. --r. e..

New Stock.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-It was announced
on good authority to-day, says the Daily
News, that a $25, 100000 increase Is to be
made in the capital stock of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad.
This additional stock will be issued to
stockholders at par. 1t is supposed that
the increased capitalization is for the
purpose Of acquiring Senator Clark
rights in road which is planned for con-
struction between Salt Lake and Los
Angeles. The St. Paul lines with the
Goulds roads give this combination a
route to Salt Lake, and the connection
with Senator Clark's project will give
the st. Paul an outlet to the Pacific
coast.

"Comparing front foot values, the as
SCISSOR values the corner of Sixth street
and Homeopathic Eustis corner-at $500
per foot on Hennepin; the northwest corr
ner of Sixth street and First avenue S
at 5000 on First avenue; the land occupied
by the West hotel on Hennepin at $4OO
per front foot, with a depth Of 1913 feet;
the land occupied by the Syndicate block
on NicOllet at $1,000 per front foot, or
S1,700 per foot as revised by the city board;
the upper half Of the block on the south
side of Nicollet avenue between Fourth

not been increased at all; and the entire
property in the wholesale district shows
