A BOLD THREAT.
Strikers Threatened to Throw Mine
Engineer Down Shaft.

Engineer Down Shaft.
Houghton, Mich, Jan. 20.-Two hun
dred striking trammers of the Quincy
mine marched Tuesday to the Mesnard
shaft, the only part of the mine in op
GRAFTON, and demanded that the miners
be called up at once and the engines
shut down. The captain in charge re-
fused, but was notified that IL miners
were not up by specified time the
strikers would throw him down the
shaft The engineers also were threat
ened, and as a result all the miners
were brought up.
The trouble was caused by the com
pany lowering wages S. a month for
TRAINERS because of the introduction
of an electric tramming system, the
change in wages being made without
notification to the employees.
The entire mine is now closed down,
surface work also being suspended. AS
a result the Quincy mills also will
close for lack of rock. The sheriff and
deputies are guarding the company's
property.

Estate Tax Commissioners, Lansing
Michigan:
"Gentlemen-I hold small portion
of Gods footstool in Clinton county
situated seven miles from Lansing said
to contain 140 acres more or less. Now
after fighting the fungi and insects in
furious to fruit all the spring, and the
squash and the potato bug the balance
of the season, l find l have saved enough
through showers to pay my taxes Fol-
this thank the Creator, who certainly
last season sent rain on the just and un
just in sufficient quantities.
'And now as look at my tax receipt,
find the assessed valuation of the lac
acres of land is $500, or aoout sew enty
dollars per acre Perhaps you would
like farming land in this vicinity at that
price. If so will promise you this 40,
and 700 acres of adjoining lands. Think
it over. 1t would make nice Angora
goat ranch.
''In 1895 the assessed valuation of the
40 acres was $4,000. l offered the land
as that time, as the State Republican
will show, at fifty dollars per acre.
Soon after this the valuation was raised
to 30, 100. Through all this time there
have been no improvements on this
land by the way of building or other
wise. AS farm produce brought higher
prices between 1895 and 1901 than it
does today, / can't see what has so en-
HANGED the value of farm property.
II have always been Independent in
politics, voting what l thought was to
the interest of the producing class. For
three years have voted the republican
ticket. Now must say, with the rest
of the farmers, did not suppose the tax
commission was created to further in
crease their. burdens. The majority of
the farmers do not own any taxable
property aside from the farms they till,
and the teams and the tools used to cul-
tivate their farms. This is property
that is visible to the assessor, and not
one dollar in $1,000 escapes taxation.
This is not the case with those whose
property is in notes, mortgages, stocks
and bonds. A large portion of this kind
of property does escape taxation, and
think if you had put some of your field
men working nearer home they might
have found those living within the
shadow of your Office making loans with
a mortgage running to parties out of
the state, taking back assignments to
themselves, leaving the last off from
record for no other purpose than to es-
cape taxation.
II have heard great deal said with
in Ae. last few weeks about taxation,
and several farmers in this vicinity say
their taxes are an outrage, but there is
no way they can help it. it may be
safe enough to send out your army Of

screw another turn by increasing the as
