New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-07-29

An examination of the foregoing fig.
ures must convince any fair minded per-
son that the assessment of Sleepy Eye
Lake as returned by the Assessor is much
too low as compared With the balance of
the county.
Since 1901, the number of tax paying
people in that district has fallen from
301 to 1914 or about IS per cent. There
has been decrease in the total valua.
ton since 1902 of about $4,000 or over
is per cent. In house. hold goods, this
decrease has exceeded 335 per cent the
past year. In watches and clocks, Spring
field returns almost four times as many
as Sleepy Eye. Other items show almost
as great discrepancy. This condition
Of affairs is intolerable and we have no
hesitancy in raising the assessments as
Incorporated in the foregoing resolution.
On the face of the figures, 1t looks very
much as though systematic attempt
has been made during the past three
years to unreasonably lower the assessed
valuation in this district and thus CON-
pei other portions of the county to pay
taxes which ought in justice to be paid
by this district.
The minutes were read and approved.
On motion Board adjourned sine die.

BEING AND LIVING.

Mine the shadowy wood-way dim:
Here in tune with the summer
peace,
Stainless, | walk. my JOY TO the brim;
Thrilled by each moments myster-

My heart poured out my life a hymn,
Earring to God and his sweet sur
cease.
Mine the dusty highway, friend.
Crowded with men who fight for
place,
Sweating and lame. Where / must

Just as / think to win the race,
A hand to my brother; nor look for
an end,
Glad for a moments wind in my
face.

POESIE a LA MODE,

| am going to make a poem, and |
think that ! shall take
A league or so Of shadOwy sky, dim,
misthaunted lake,
With the pale wrath of a legend
floating DER it like spell
But this strange, blood-chilling legend
/ must never really tell.
There must be blotch of color and
mystery intense,
But with music. feeling, beauty one
can easily dispense
And-though this is all sub-rosa-it
is best to leave out sense.
When I've made little poem,
Blurring over very well
And careless trace of clearness,
am sure the thing will sell.
