frofessor Frederick Starr Of the Chicago
university, the man who said the Ameri-
can race was becoming Indian now states
that all OF US have some Of the marks Of
degeneracy about our persons. Among
these ne enumerates parting ones hair in
the middle, badness, gray hairs before the
age Of 40, stub nose, bat ears, small lobes
on the ears, receding chin, protruding lips,
e1t-handedness, cross eyes, fondness for
1eWelry for hand wear by men, red hair
for most people, aItho the professor de-
clares that the Irish are entitled to the
privilege Of having red hair without being
degenerates. Knock knees and similar
blem1shes are also booked as marks Of
degeneracy. 1t is a wonder what a crowd
OF bat-eared, bald-headed degenerates are
running this nation andyits railroads and
newspapers so successfully If we do not
misstate, Ralph Wheelock parts his hair

The Minneapolis Journal (rep), in al
luding to Congressman McClearys theory
of the tariff, that "it is safer to revise
1t upward than it is to revise it down
ward" says that the congressman us not
in touch with public sentiment This
sustains what the Times asserts In an
article elsewhere-that republicans gem
orally favor tariff reduction. This being
true, why in Sam Hill" do they vote
for men like McCleary, who announce
their opposition to reduction? Probably
The Journal can explain.-st. Cloud

We would rather yield the floor to Mr..
McCleary. He has reason, no doubt.

GRAY WON'T RUN FOR NJ. G..
He Turns Down an Offer of the Nom
nation.

Another man has turned down the
offer of the democratic nomination
for congress in this district, and the
democrats are seemingly more at sea
than ever in their search for Moses.
The last man to refuse the offer is
James Gray. The subject was
preached to NJ. Gray by M. Bres-
lauer as representing a number OF
leading democrats, principally Hearst
men, and was declined by Mr.. Gray
without even taking it under consid-
Grafton.
The Hearst men had hoped to get
Haynes to make the run, and to this
end had got a pledge from John Lind
to Haynes that the present congress-
man would not run under any circum-
stances. For this reason there will
be no further attempt to get Lind into
the race.6L 1#G5 Is zl5ss 3ayY

Assessing the Iron Mines.

BY gradual steps the assessed vaiu-
alton of the vast iron ore properties
of northern Minnesota Is being
brought to point where it bears some
relation to the actual value. Two
years ago it was placed at $3O,7OO,O00.
Last week the st. Louis county board
Of equalization took the figures as re-
turned by the assessors, about 2l,OOO,-
600, and multiplied them by two, Civ
ing the ore deposits a taxable value
of s42,OOO,O0O as real estate. This is
exclusive Of the stockpiles, machinery,
etc., which will bring the total up to
about $44,0O0,O0O.
It was only. a few years ago that
the mining companies were grooming
under a $15,000,000 assessment. They
are still grooming, but they are not
likely to make any strenuous fight
against this increase.
The boom in assessed valuation In
northern Minnesota really dates from
the formation of the United States
Steel company. The enormous capt.
talization of this trust staggered be-
lief, and this spectacular organization
drew such attention to itself that It's
resources were analysed everywhere.
To justify the enormous stock issue
ing. The value Of the great mills was
roundly estimated and the ore prop
critics Of the company were placed at
the enormous value of 100000, 900.
1t is well known that the largest ore
fields belonging ito the trust gare in
northern Minnesota and they must rep
resent large share of that s700,0O0,-
600. It has since been claimed that this
was an extravagant valuation, made
to influence Wall street, and the course
Of "steel common" would indicate
the truth Of that statement. However,
1t has been very apparent for the last
two or three years that the ore de-
posts of the Mesaba and Vermilion
ranges have been grossly undervalued
for. taxation purposes. The new as
sessnnent would be fair on an actual
value of s100,000,0O0, and there is
every reason to believe that this is
low.
! It is about time that the state and
the locality containing these rich prop
critics should be getting some ade-
quate revenue from them in taxes.
The Industrial returns to the state
are small compared with the great
values, involved. Nearly all the
skilled labor involved is employed in
the east. Year after year the ore
companies are following out the hills
and sending the rich ores to far-away
furnaces. Vast as they are, these
properties will soon decrease in value
If the steel trust companies are to dc
their part in maintaining the state
government, now is the time.

MRS c. w. PICKETT ILL. SHE EN-
DURED VERY CRITICAL OPERATION,
LAST WEEK THURSDAY.
At her home on Lynwood street, last
week Thursday, Mrs G. w. Pickett en-
dured a very critical operation for the
removal of a tumor of internal growth
and the presence of which was not even
suspected until about ten days ago.
The operation was performed by Drs
Otto G. Ramsey and Thomas H. Rus
sell, assisted by Drs Richard F. Rand
and Thomas V. Hynes. The advice of
all surgeons consulted was that the Op-
Grafton be performed without more de-
lay than was absolutely necessary,
hence Mrs Pickett decided to take that
advice even though her general health
had not yet given evidence of being
impaired. The patient endured the
ordeal of the operation with character
istic fortitude and her case is in charge
of the best surgeons in the country.
1t is too early yet to tell what the final
result will be, but Drs Ramsey and
Russell are confident of recovery and
complete restoration to health. The
nurse in charge Of Mrs Pickett is Miss
