AMAZED AT ACTION
AUTHORITIES AT A
LOSS TO UNDERSTAND BUFFALO
REFUSAL TO ACCEPT INsPEC-
TION OF GRAIN. a

Minnesota authorities are at loss
to explain the action Of the Buffalo
grain dealers in refusing to accept Min
nesota inspection. So far as they know
there is no reason for it. as the state in
spection has been accepted heretofore,
and there has been no friction that
would lead to such action. G. F. Staples
Of the railroad and warehouse commits
sion said:
We have directed an investigation to
see what reason, If any, exists for this
action. We have had no particular com
plants or controversy, with the trade
there, and do not know what has actu-
ated this move.
Some time ago a. complaint was made
about one cargo Of wheat, the Buffalo
parties claiming that 1t was mixed with
macaroni, or goose wheat" The COM
plainants found later that they were
largely to blame themselves, and apollo
gized. That is the only case know OF
where they have questioned the Mime

STATE CAPITOL
RAISES AUTOS /.
In HENNEPIN
STATE BOARD ADDS ONE-THIRD
TO VALUES RETURNED.
Ten Per cent Increase on Vehicles
Trouble with Ramsey County Returns,
Many Autos Being Listed in the
Wrong Classification.

The state board of equalization raised
the assessment on. automobiles in Hen
nepin county 33 l-3 per cent this morn
ing, increasing the average valuation
from $479.52 to $636.96. There were
374 autos returned from the county.
Ramsey county's valuation, 5000, was
raised so per cent to $463,50.s How
ever, there were only "a listed, while
1876 licenses had been issued May l by
the state boiler inspector. H. W. Fag-
ley, the st. Paul member of the board,
said he. would take the matter up with
the county auditor to see that the rest
were assessed. The eight autos in ST..
Louis county, averaging $331.25, were
raised 25 per cent.
Wagons in Hennepin, averaging
$26.1S, were raised 10 per cent. Last
year they averaged $72:77, but in that
schedule. street cars were included.
Ramsey s.. valuation, averaging $82.27,
was raised 25 per cent, as it was found
that in one district l,00S vehicles aver
aged $479. Evidently this accounted
for the disappearance Of part Of the
autos and a low valuation all around.
The board found other evidences of
juggling in the schedules, and the mem
bers expressed themselves forcibly III
criticism of assessing officers who make
a practice of listing property under a
wrong classification, greatly confusing
the work Of equalizinng. For instance
elevators in Hennepin are listed this
