While the tax dodger and some cor
porate interests are bowling about the
burden which listing property at its
full value would put upon those inter-
ests which have heretofore escaped
their just share of the tax burden,
have they ever considered that State
Auditor Dunn might take notion to
issue orders to assessors through the
state to obey the law as it now stands
upon the statnte books, and proceed to
enforce it. We have noticed that he
contemplated doing SO in case no tax
law was enacted. Truly the life of
the tax dodger is falling upon hard
lines

seems like dream. One can hardly
realize that the great change has been
wrought in the space of mans life
time.
At that time it was a hard trip
across the country through trackless
swamps, over prairie and through for
ests and the traveller did we'll if he
could make it within three days.
Now the trip is easily made in lux
urious passenger car in three hours
with every comfort at hand, and the
man of business can go. and return in
one day, transacting more business
during his brief stop in the city than
was possible for our early settler to
get through with in week.
We talk nowadays about facing
conditions which require plenty Of
nerve and good stiff back bone. but
the conditions which confronted those
three pioneers, and the men who i'm
mediately followed them, were such
as would often cause the strongest
heart to quail The, hardships which
they underwent that this wilderness
might be changed. into beautiful city
with farms made to blossom as the
rose, stretching out in every direction,
dotted here and there with prosperous
villages can never be told by words.
They were strenuous days. But those
hardy pioneers builded we'll, and
though the metropolis of their dreams
may not yet have grown here at the
big south bend ofnnthe Minnesota, time
only is needed to fulfill them.
In these fifty years much has been
accomplished. Then only the war whoop
of the Indian sounded among the
hills of the Minnesota valley, now the
whistle of the locomotive echoes and
echoes as it passes up and down
over the various lines of road burden
ed with the freight of human lives and
commerce. Then the sturdy pioneer
waited days to learn the happenings
of the outside world, while now mail

all directions and dispatched as often,
while the telegraph and telephone keep

points. v

NOVEL ADVERTTsENIENT

The management of the Santa Fe
system has decided to establish at AL
buquerque a large archaeological and
chronological museum. The purpose of
the venture is largely advertising, as it
is with view of providing a novel at
traction at that place. The museum
building will be 100 by 40 feet, and will
contain a collection to begin with
which will be valued at between $780,
900 and S150,OOO For two or three
years the officials of the company have
had agents all over the world making
collections for the museum, and one Of
the agents purchased for $4,000 a col
lection of Alaskan Indian relics at
Seattle. The collections will be large
ly from the ruins of New Mexico and
Arizona, but will include exhibits from
Africa, New Zealand BOrneo, Austria
liza, Hawaii, and, in fact almost every
country on the globe. 1t is expected
that the institution will attract many
visitors.

lowing To say regarding the use of
safety appliances on railroads:
The safety-applianCe law became full
Nv effective on August /, 1900. and the
benehCent results of its operation are
now being realized. The greatly in
creased security to life and limb by
Which the men on freight trains and
in freight yards now perform their
work is now apparent on every hand
Evidence of the improved conditions
resulting from the practically universal
use of automatic COupers on freight
cars appears i'm the records of acct
dents and in the testimony of railroad
OtlClalS and employees. Further proof
from a financial standpoint is also
found i'm the records of the railway
| claim departments, as we'll as i'm those
of the several trainmens associations.
Ihis gratifying state of affairs is due
to the Federal statute, the railroad
|Company's united action, and The eff
Gent performance of their duties by
the inspectors employed by the Com
mission These inspectors, who are
competent men of long experience i'm
/ car and train work, have taken note
|of all features of operation, improve
|mcnts, and repairs which seem to be
/ germane to the work i'm which they are
| Engaged, and this has proven satisfac-
| tory to the railroad presidents and
managers and has resulted IN estab-
Fishing amicable relations with the en-
|Tloyes. The various railroad technical
associations, including the American
Railway Association and tie Master
Car Builders Association. have contri-
huted in marked degree to the success
Of the law.
The report then shows that for the
year ending June 80, 1901 the number
/ of employees killed in coupling accidents
] was less than in the preceding year by
about 80 per cent and the number in
cured was less by about So per cent.
| Attention is called to the form Of acct

mission under the accident law of
March 3, 1901, under which precise de-
tinitiOns are given for the purpose OF
! these reports to the words KILLED" ana

/ cOrding to the accident returns for the
month of July, only 4 employees were
