The report Of the city board Of

1904, including the assessm ent rolls
prepared by the city assessor, g. y.
Minor, which We're presented at the
council meeting this afternoon
showed an increase of the personal

The real estate assessment total is
very near the same as that for 1908,
as the Increase for new buildings is
counteracted by the reductions on
outside real estate. The total assessed
valuation of the city, real and per-
sonal, is about $l35, 100000.

The other day the Miner man
recommended that Hogue of the
Leader had better 90 back ofarm-
ing. This vocation is so far above
any position the Miner man can
ever aspire to we consider it an
honor to be reminded of the fact
that We once belonged to the most
honorable and independent Of pro-
LESSONS, and in this our pleasure
Is equalled only by the disgust of
the farmers of Mclean county that
the Miner should so far underesti-
mate their intelligence as to as
sumo that the artful tax-dodger of
the Miner is fooling them. They
well know that the only farming
Harris is engaged in is that of
farming therfarmers." F..

ITS 1up TO- THE VOTERS"

The Miner man says he will ask
Treasurer Root yto explain how
things are taxed in Mclean county
giving as a reason the fact that
the Miner paid but 1888 taxes in
1902, and $l4.54 in 1908, and fur.
Their declares that this is a matte,
that lis up to the voters" The
Leader agrees with the Miner it sis
up to the voters" What have the
voters to say about this condition
of facts? In 1902 the valuation Of
the Miner was put in to the asses.
sor at 1926 and in 1903 at only
1920. Here is the Miner week af-
ter week boasting about the thous-
ands of dollars worth of new mate
rial and new machinery being con.
stantly added to the Miner plant
and profusely illustrated in the
Miner-and in face of all these
added Improvements Mr.. Harris
makes oath, for assessment pur-
poses, in 1908 of only a valuation
$35 less than the year previous,
And another thing that "is up to
voters" how it is for mortgage pur.
poses Harris can claim $500 worth
Of security and for insurance. pur-
poses a valuation to justify $4,000
risk, while for assessment purposes
he swears the full and true value
to be but $3.50?
In another paragraph Nh. Har-
ris declares that if he is "burned
out" there are more presses in the
world and he can rebuild again, It
looks that way. For taxation pur-
poses he values his plant at only
$3.50 but for burning out" pur-
poses he jumps to $1,000 and for
mortgage purposes" to $500. It
does not take much of a fnancier
to see that only one person can be
interested in a "burn OUT who can
succeed in mortgaging 1920 plant
for 81, 800 and insures it for $4,000.
It may be 'up to the voters" to
see that somebody is prosecuted by
the states attorney for perjury.

In response to an Invitation to pay up for the
Miner IN advance or as your statement reads:
't$l. Is pays you to Jan. lat, 1906" I. Rovig, man
ager Of the Goal Harbor Lumber Company at
Coal Harbos and Underwood writes under date
Of January IL. 1904, as follows:
II don't care to trust you for this amount fol-
| your paper is liable to 60 bump before 1905, II
you don t want to trust me cancel the rag.
Yours Truly,
1t is needless to say we Cancelled the rag
MIR. Rovig will find out that the farmers who
buy lumber from him will hereafter go else
where. The Miner is tile peoples paper and
they are supporting 1t. If you attack the Miner
you attack the people.
The above from the last issue of
the Miner shows what desperate
straits that institution is in. A few
months ago the whole energyo of the
novice, w~hopresides over the des-
TIMES of our contemporary sheet,
was devoted to the forcing of his
paper upon unwilling readers. The
post offices of the county were
flooded each week with copies of
the Miner-never wanted and us
ually refused. The Leader has
been a visitor to the Preside of
those people who want a live, en-
terprising and loyal Mclean coun-
ty newspaper for over twenty years,
It has not tried to foist itself as an
unwelcome visitor. but knowing
the sterling integrity and appre-
ciating the honest endeavors of our
constituents the Leader has been
continued to many, who have ap-
preciated it's efforts, one, two and
in some instances several years be-
yond the date of the payment of
their subscription. But in all that
time we have never threatened or
bulldozed our subscribers, nor have
we ever, as in the instance OF the
Miner, been insistent on subscri-
bers paying in advance unless it
was convenient for them to do so.
Perhaps there is method in the ap-
peal of the Miner to the subscri-
bers, but it is likely that the set
tier, who is a fixture in Mclean
county and who does not "threaten
to burn himself out" feels that it
will be time enough to pay for his
subscription to the Miner when the
money is earned than to pay for it
in advance.

In an article in the issue OF Nov
Goth, We clip the following from
the Miner
1--WE understand a petition is be.
ing circulated around among ou1
merchants to have them cut out
their ads, but as our merchants are
running their own business and do
NOT need The LEADER push toshow
hem"
According to the above, the bus
ness men know their own business
and did need The LEADER push
to show them. After the business
men took action the Miner comes
out and lays it all to The LEADEE
push. A change of heart in one
week! Now either show up the
truth ofthe statement or be branded
as a man who falsifes the truth.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1904-01-23

To those who signed the petitions and other
those who patronize us We will say that after
Jan. %, we will give you a list Of those who are
trying to run us out Of business. The merchants
are busy invoicing now so look out for the names
after chat date. We know you are anxious to
show the Leader push where you stand and you
have our SINGER thanks for what you have done
during the past two months. The merchants
and business men who are going to patronize
the Miner will be ready by Jan. %.
AS will be seen by the above
item which appeared in the last is
sue of the Miner, the "book agent
is quite anxious that the people of
Washburn, and especially the bust
ness men should show the Leader
push just where they stand. The
people of Mclean 70. have stood
for TIE LEADER tor over twenty
years and The LEADER has stood
by the people, and it is not likely
that they will appreciate to any ex.
tent the threat of the Miner tc
"black list" them if they do not see
fit to follow the idle whims and
threatening appeal of the up-start
who is just now decrying Wash
burn and attempting to create
strife and jealousy everywhere in
the county.

The e1-book agent, through the
columns of the Miner, informs the
public that "THE LEADER push "
influenced the business men of
Washburn to withdraw their pat
ronage from the columns of that
paper, and "it.makes-us-mad." The
editor of the Miner knows that ev-
cry time he makes that statement
that he lies, and his statement is a
falsehood from one end to the
other. We defy him to produce a
single business man who withdrew
from his sheet, to say that we in
dusnced them in any way-either
by word or deed. The Miner man
in nearly every issue of his "rag"
has thrown that misstatement of
facts to the public, and it is now
up to him to prove it. We brand
the statement as false, and he will
be compelled to lay the publishing
of the article to some one else not
willing to share the responsibility.
He has published several insinua-
tions, and when called to task said
they were published without his
knowledge, and it will be the same
way in this instance. Why don't
the young man produce his proof ?
We have always held that the bus
mess men had a right to do as they
pleased, and if they refused to pat
ronize a paper that was booming
some other town to the detriment
Of the home town, it was their right
to withdraw.
