State Tax Levy.

State Auditor S. G. Iverson has
sent letters to the various county aud
itors throughout the State certifying
to the tax levy for the ensuing year.
It is in total 1.S-1O mills. It is made
up of the soldiers relief fund levy OF
one-tenth of one mill, the funding tax
levy of two-tenths of one mill, and the
State revenue fund levy of one and a
half mills. It differs from the lew OF
the previous year in two points. The
levy for the revenue fund is one-halt
of one mill more, an increase of 50
per cent, and the three-tenths of one
mill tax for the agricultural college,
which existed the two previous years
and brought in 1925, 1000 year for the
school, is abolished.
The increase in the general revenue
fund is because of the lavish appro-
priations made by the last legislature.
The previous year, when the general
revenue levy was but one mill, there
was but $500, 600 to be raised. Mr..
Iverson says that the general revenue
levy the ensuing year will have to
raise 81, 200, 900.

October Weather?

Hicks meteorological forecast for
this month is as follows:
The 18th, 9Th and 9th are reactionary
storm dates and will bring a decided
return to storm conditions. Storms
OF this period are apt to be attended
and followed by thick cloudiness, mist
and drizzle, causing sleet and posi-
BILE spurts Of snow toward the-north.
Change to much cooler will follow
these disturbances.
The next regular storm period is
central on the 18th covering the 18th
to 18th. Marked depressions of the
barometer and other evidences Of
gathering storm, will appear to the
westward and during the days next
following decided autumnal storms
will visit most parts of the continent.
Lightning and thunder may come with
the first stages of the storm, but gales
out OF the north, with severe dashes of
sleet and snow northward, may rea-
sonably be counted on. Sweeping
high barometer and cold northerly
gales followed by frosts will come out
of the north and reach far southwark
at the close of this period.
A reactionary storm period, central
on the 10, 20 and 81 will prolong the
tendency to cloudiness, cold rains and
S1Pet and thoro cho,,11 lo ;ooroo eoJ
storm tendencies to cloudiness, cold
rains and sleet and there should be
increased storm tendencies about the
10th and 21st, followed by change to
much cooler.
The last regular storm period ex-
tends from the 24th to 10Th, being CEN
trial on the 25th. There will be a
change to much warmer with de-
cided fall of barometer, these condi-
tions to be followed by cloudiness.
storm and precipitation. The storms
will reach their crisis and eliminate
in much force on and touching the
28th. A sudden and severe change
to much cooler will almost certainly
rush out of the west and north within
twenty-four hours of shutdown on the
2Sth.
AS the month goes out a reactionary
storm period will be in its first stage,
the barometer falling, with a change
to warmer and gathering clouds.

Putnam Defaults.

The county bard of audit met the lat
ter part of last week to check up THE
treasurer's accounts, and great was
their surprise to find shortage of
something over 81, 800. Geo. F. Put
nam, county. treasurer, acknowledged
that he had taken the money claiming
that he had used it to pay his own
private debts, and that it would have
been returned but for the falling
through of a deal whereby he ex-
pected to raise the money to put back.
He was by the board given until Sat-
urday at 10 o 'clock to make good the
deficit and before that time the neces-
sary amount was returned to the treas
ury.
The board at once notified Public
Examiner P. M. Kerst of the condition
OF affairs and asked that the records
be gone over and the exact shortage
determined. Monday afternoon. Dep
uty Public Examiner Kahn arrived
and at once went to work on the
books. 1t took until the middle of
yesterday afternoon to complete the
work of checking up, and as near as
can be learned the total amount used
by the treasurer was found to be over
ST, 900, about all of which had been
replaced, as above stated. Elk River

cessive. The application was ac-
guessed in by the board of commits
sioners and it was recommended that
the same be submitted to the State
auditor for+his approval.

to the board for an abatement of taxes
upon the real estate held by him and

matter of Geo. E. Mcclure.

BILE discussion. decided to make appli-
cation to the State for the loan OF

Raising Sheep Paws Well.

Many of the farmers of Kanabec
county have learned that the raising
of sheep is more profitable than any
other industry. They find that they
are cheaper and easier to keep than
cattle and bring larger return.
Sheep will thrive where cattle would
starve. They are also of great assist
ance in subduing underbrush on raw
land.
We have interviewed a number of
sheep farmers recently on the subject
and they are luminous in the opinion
that nothing pays the farmer better
providing he has some knowledge of
raising sheep and, gives his flock the
attention it requires.
John Gjerstad, one of the prosper
Gus farmers of Knife Lake, sold 81
sheep to cattle buyer here Monday.
Mr.. Gjerstad states that he finds sheep
more profitable, than anything else he
raises on his farm. bought about
so sheep a year ago. From these
sheep, in the sale of wool and lambs,
he has realized 1886 the past year
and his flock is in as good condition
as when he commenced. ~
In conversation with G. D. Lobdell,
a farmer from Brunswick, the other
day he stated that from his experience
since coming to the county a few years
ago, sheep raising pays better than
anything else.-Kanabec Co. Times.
