AS will be noticed in the real es-
tate transfers published elsewhere,
the county fair association real es-
tate has been transferred to David
Alexander, the consideration being
So, $50. Secretary Dorm berg states
that the money derived from the
sale of the land will be distributed
among the stockholders this week,
after which the society will have
passed into history, and it will be
open to the business men of the
town to state whether a new socie-
/ ty shall be organized and secure the
double appropriation offered by the

The voters Redwood Falls town
ship last Saturday voted on the
proposition of bonding that town
for 81, 800 to assist in the construc-
ton of So, 600 bridge across the
Redwood river, 81 miles west of
this city. The county commission
ers previously agreed to give 81, 500
toward the structure, providing
that the town would raise a like
amount. Dwight Bissell has offered
to donate the required land for ease
ments free Of charge and the feel
ing of the officers of the town was
prior to the election that there
would be practically no opposition
to the same. 1t will require two
thirds of all the votes cast to bring
about a legal issuance of the bonds.
The'sta auditor has sent a cir
cular letter to judges of probate
courts, calling attention to the state
inheritance tax and it's provisions
and asking co operation in its en-
forcement. The circular gives in
formation that hereafter all inheri-
tances and gifts in excess of so, 600
are subject to tax as follows: Over
SO, 600 and less than $50, 900 u per
cent; over $50, 600 and less than
500, 900 3 per cent; 800, 900 or over
3 per cent. Probate judges are
asked to note that no tax can be
computed except where the amount
is over SO, 600 for each Inheritance
For instance, if an estate amounts
to $45, 900 divided equally among
FIVE heirs, then no tax can be i'm
posed. If an estate amounts to
800, 600 divided equally among five
heirs, the tax would apply to $10,-
900 on each.
