Funeral Held Sunday.

The funeral of Peter Swanson,
whose death occurred osuddenly
at the Office Of DR.. J. E. Mitchell
Friday, Decem Der, LIST, was held
from the Norwegian Methodist
church last Sunday afternoon,
the Reverend Harve conducting
the funeral services. Among
the relatives from out of town
who were in attendance at the
funeral was a sister from Min
nesota and brother from Ev-
erett. Washington. The remains
were Inferred in the Protestant
cemetery.
The deceased was born in
Sweden and was thirty-two
years old at the time Of his
death. When but sixteen years
of age he began sailing on an
ocean vessel which he continued
for number of years during
which time he was advanced to
the position Of captain. He was
on the vessel that took young
Vanderbilt and his bride on their
wedding tour to Europe, Italy
and Jerusalem. The disease
which caused his death was from
a fall sustained while sailing
which crushed in his chest and
since that time had never re-
gained health and was obliged
to give up sailing.
The deceased has a mother,
five brothers and three sisters
living, three OF whom reside in
this city.
The relatives wish to extend
their thanks to the many friends
who assisted them and for their
kind and cheering words. Also
the members of the Scan dina
Wan church, the pastor and the
young people who. assisted in the
funeral services and to those
who presented the beautiful
floral decorations.

ceived by large audience. The

TOWN OF WASHBURN
Decide on Amount Of Taxes To Be
Raised This Year.
RATE WILL BE .02Os PER CENT.
Town finds itself In good financial condi-
ton, will raise $16,8RA.45 in taxes
this year as against $24,t67.33
last year.

The town board of the town of |
Washburn have completed their
levies for the year and find that |
the town will be in first class
condition financially, and that it |
will not be necessary to burd en- |
the property owners with an ex
cessive tax. A year ago when
the levies were made the town
had no tangible assets and we're
compelled to make a high levy
for the purpose of supporting
schools, building roads and for
the payment of other expenses
incident to running a municipal
ity. The city had recently been
incorporated and this left the
town without any money. A
great cry was raised because of
the high taxes, but those who
knew the condition hardly ex-
pected otherwise.
Last year on a total valuation
of S713, 5000 a levyof 1913, 1878
was made, this fixed the rate at
.0325. The Dynamite plant which
is located in tie town was then
in the course of construction and
could not be assessed very high.
This year the valuation will be
as follows:
Personal property S 71,616.00|
Real estate 739,215.OO|
Total valuation S81O.631.O0
There has been levied for all
purposes the following amounts:
County and state Sc, 1854. As
General fund 100000
Highway fund 100000
School fund 100000
Total levy $16.864. 45
There will be q noticeable de-
crease in the taxes on farming
land. and this will be welcom e
news to those who are attempt
ing to settle on the lands. The
valuation of the dynamite plant
has been raised and that on tim
bered land has also been ma
terially increased. The rate this
year on decreased valuation
farming land will be .O2O0.
Nc town in the county will be
in better shape than the town of
Washburn for, besides having
raised enough upon which to run
the town it will receive from the
sale of the bonds of the city of
Washburn which was deter
mined by the referee in the
settlement between the town and
the city $472O.45 for the town
and ST., 96S. AS for the schools.
With this amount in the treas
ury it is more than probable
that the taxes for next year will
be less than half of what they
are this year.
The great question however
before the people in a town like
this will be that a great number
of roads will have to be built,
and the building of roads costs
money. New school houses will
also have to be provided for as
the country becomes settled.
The officers of the town have
been criticised, but regardless
of this they have given their
town since it's organization a
good administration.
