soa4ewhat Remarkable Experience In
Duluth, MIMI
In. a little vayside inn at a small
station SONS fifty miles west of Du-
luthr a haIf-dozen men from various
places CHANGED to meet recently.
The CONVERSATION opened with a
remark concerning the weather. and
from that drifted easily to the So
verify of winters in the different
parts Of tho Northwest
One man. who came from the Twin
Cities, told a sad story OF frozen
water pipes and other household In
conveniences occasioned by the rigid
weather there one February.
Another recounted tale OF suffer
ing endured by men and beasts on q
North Dakota prairie during a blizr
zard.
Stories we're thus told until five
OF the group had contributed In
stances upon the subject
There was a pause in ths' conver-
sation until an Irishman. who sat a
little apart from the others, quietly
smoking a pipe, remarked: Well. the
coolest winter OF liver put in was
summer in Duluth.

A great many of the people are be-
ginning OF wonder why Mayor Yeiser
has never appointed someone to fill
the vacancies on the board of alder
men. Is it because he can get no one
to take the places? II there had been
a full board last night the saloon or.
dinanoe might have passed. Only
five votes were needed, and they had
four Of them. II there had been
three other members the other vote
might have been found.

Down In Florida few years ago
at one OF the famous summer resorts
was a small street railroads. little
affair that did not amount to much.
but was supposed by its proprietors
TO be sufficient for all ordinary pur-
poses. One day in the course of a
discussion the owners we're accused
of being old fogies and behind the
times. why don't you get together
and be up to date?" they were asked.
You really ought to have a modern
equipment for a place Of this char
acter, instead of an old road Of
mule-drawn cars that date back to
the food"
After considerable deep meditation
and with many misgivings the road
was ordered changed to an electric
line, and an eighty-horso power equip
ment was ordered. The outfit arrived
and was installed but for some rea-
son failed to operate properly. An
outside expert was then called in to
examine the plant and locate the
trouble. AT a special directors meet
ing he reported that the rated eficien-
cy Of the plant was eighty horse
power. and that eighty horsepower
were being used for the actual opera
ton Of the road. At this one Of the
directors Jumped up and exclaimed
excitedly: Eighty horsepower for
what we used TO do with six mules?
| guess we had better go back to the
mules"

The demand in Psducah is for an
equitable assessment of property for
city taxation, and it is time TO begin
asking for it now. The tax rate de-
pends on the amount Of taxes collect
ed, and the amount of taxes collect
ed depends on the assessment The
general prosperity of the city, the
amount we have to spend for i'm
provements and for other things, de-
pends almost entirely on the amount
of taxes collected, hence everything,
indirectly, depends on our assessment.
We have had occasion in the past TO
oritioise the assessments, and now in
advance urge the authorities to get
up the right kind of assessment this
time. There has been too much favor
itism shown city officials in the assess
ment of property in the past All
should be assessed alike, from the su-
pervisors, who fix the final assess.
ment, to the humblest property own
er who is at their mercy. II a man
values his property at $4,000 he
should not be permitted to give it in
1t So, 900 or IS, 900 to the assessor. II
IN accurate assessment is made it will
be seen that there is an astonishing
decrease in the tax rate.

MORE MUNICIPAL HoRsEPLAY.

The board of aldermen brought up
last night the eligibility of the city
olerk of Psduoah and the question of
his right to hold two offices under the
constitution of the state and the char
ter. City Solicitor worten stated for
the benefit Of the board that it should
not fear any trouble on the score of
the clerks holding two offices, as the
msycr had no right to appoint him
back tax collector in the first place,
and his appointment being illegal,
was not holding the office.
This is rather peculiar state Of
affairs. The mayor, the council and
the board of aldermen have the consti-
tuition, statutes and charter to go by.
When a matter that must or is to be
acted on comes before them they can
tsfer to the charter and ascertain the
law in a few moments, and If they
haven't intelligence enough to COM
prehend it can call on the city solicit
tor.
If Mayor Yeiser had no legal right
to appoint back tax collector, why
did the council and the board of alder
men first pass resolution authorizing
him to appoint one? II it was illegal,
why did not the council and board Of
aldermen investigate the law and find
il out beforehand? And why did the
city solicitor allow the council and
aldermen to suooessively pass reso-
luton empowering the mayor to do
something illegal, and then see him do
something illegal by making the sp'
pointment, without offering protest
What is he paid for?
Another thing. The charter makes
it incumbent on the delinquent ia,
collector to make daily reports, which
is not done. it is understood, by sh'
present delinquent tax collector. The
main point is, however, that If the
city officials of Paducah do not know
the law, and the city solicitor will
not tell them the law, what are thu
taxpayers going to do about sucf
fragrant and defiant violations Of th'
lawl The Sun, at the time the city
clerk was appointed delinquent tai
collector, stated that the appointment
was illegal, and if the mayor haC
wanted to observe the law he coult
have easily found out whether it wa
legal or not He didn't want to know
it. It seems the object of few Of
our officials is to pile on their friend
and relatives just as many sinecures
as possible, aud the taxpayers mus
suffer.
The city clerk claimed he had NOR
work than he could do, and the mum
cipal boards illegally created the ofic

Mr.. Oscar Hank, the Republican

man of sterling worth, who is one of
the most successful tobacconists and

Tho barnstad Block.

Ole Barnstad informs US that he ex.
poets to have his new building ready
for occupancy in about six weeks.
The exterior will be quite similar to
that OF the Bank of Willmar, as they
Will both be together as one block.
The interior will be of hardwood finish
and all fitted throughout in keeping
with modern buildings. The lower
floor will be divided into two apart
ments, which will be leased for store
purposes: J. G: Jones, the clothing
man, will occupy the south half. The
other apartment has not yet been
definitely leased, but Mr.. Barnstad
has several applications from business
men, including some outsiders. It 10
probable that the Commercial Club of
this city will make definite arrange
ments to lease the upper rooms, nego-
tiations for which are now pending.
The plans call for large basement,
which will be used for the hot water
heating plant.
The location of the building is a
very desirable one, and as it will be
fitted up in the most approved man
ner, there will be no trouble in finding
permanent tenants.

was brought before Judge Bitterness

pay for a pig valued at Sc. 80, which
had been sold to Skoog & Anderson.

tempt was being made to put it into
crate in a wagon, preparatory to tax
ing it to the slaughter house. After q
couple Of hours chase after the critter
the butchers reported the escape of the
pig to the former owner, and demand
ed that it be produced before pay
could be collected. Judge Bitterness

strom, the total costs to skoog & An
derson being $14.42.
