The city council fixed a schedule
of MAXIMUM rates for water to pri-
vate consumers, but the existence of
artesian wells in the lower part of
the city and windmills with abundant
water flowing to nea the surface on
the hills, will protect the citizens for
all time against oppressive rates
from the water company. The corpo-
ration must sell water at reasonable
rates for domestic purposes, or get
no patronage. 1t was a hard PROPOSE
ton for the company to go up
against, but they have shown their
faith in the future growth of Ros-
Well by undertaking an enterprise
that cannot pay any profits until the

Minneapolis Chamber of Com
MERGE Man Relates Condi-
tions as He Saw Them.
ARE MANY EMPTY CARS
But Agents Would Not Let
Elevators Load on Account
Of Inability to Move.

Travellers coming in from over the
state say there is danger of the worst
tie-up this country mas ever known.
Fred M. McCord of the chamber Of
commerce of Minneapolis has returned
after trip through the congested
grain area of the northwest. The.
American Cereal company sent out,
Mr.. McCord, who is their northwest
representative, when it developed that.
transportation conditions had broken
down, and stories Of grain congestion
and fuel famine appeared. Mr. Nc
Cord made some of the most remote
points. The situation, he says, has
been understated with relation to
transportation facilities. There are
signs of prodigious efforts on the part
Of the roads to do better, but no eff
forts appear as yet.
From Grand Forks to Devils Lake
Mr.. McCord found 1853 empty freight
cars, and at stations from Lakota
west, from five to twenty empties
could be seen at every point. But a
heavy snow has covered the country,
and is from one and half to three
feet deep on the level.
At Lakota $4,000 bushels of wheat
is on the ground, piled there recently,
and all the elevators of the town are
full. The elevator men say they were
unable to get empty cars. Mr.. Nc
Cord, in looking a.ound the yards,
discovered twenty-seven empty cars.
He reported to the elevator men that
these empty cars were there. They
said they knew it. The cars had been
there for ten days. The agent did not
give them to the elevators for loading
because he said if they we're loaded
the railroad could not haul them out
anyway. 1t looked like an effort to
keep the graiH out of railroad pos
session until there was assurance of
being able to move it to avoid railroad
responsibilities.
At Hillsboro Mr.. McCord met E. Y.
Sarles, the banker. Mr.. Sarles says
there has been no relief worth noting.
From Grand Forks out to Minot Mr..
McCord found the side tracks full of
cars, loaded or empty. Snow had
drifted in about them, and it will be
difficult to move them. Mr.. Sarles
agrees with Mr.. McCord that there
will be no general relief until the
breakup in the spring.

-FOUR CONVENTIONS SOON
Local Men Have Much to do With Max.

ing to be Held at MinOt.

There are four Grand Forks men
who are busy making arrangements
for conventions to be held in February
at Minot. These four men are C. N.
Barnes, M. Norman, D. Mcdonald and
Mayor George E. Duis. The conven-
tons arrangements for which are
largely in their hands are the Hard
ware dealrs convention, the Furniture
association, the Undertakers and the
Implement dealers.
Mr.. Barnes is secretary of the Hard
ware Dealers association. He has
been busy for some time past making
arrangements for this event, and
states that the program for it will be
ready in few weeks.
MIR. Norman is president. of the
Furniture Dealers association, and as
such, the duty of making arrange
ments for it fall on him to some ex-
tent.
Mr.. Mcdonald is at the head of the
Undertakers association of the state,
and this position gives him consider
able of the work connected with the
convention.
George Duis is with the Implement
Dealers association, and will have con-
siderable work to do in connection
with the next meeting. All of these
meetings will be held during the week
commencing February 4.

TURNER DID GOOD WORK

Before retiring from Office Sheriff
A. F. Turner will make his report to
the board of county commissioners
showing the amount of delinquent
taxes collected during the last two or
three months. This report is now be-
ing made out by Deputy Sheriff O.
OVERLY, and the totals will show that
something like $4,000 in personal
property taxes have been collected
and turned into the Golfers of the
county.
During his term in office Sheriff
Turner has made an enviable record
in the matter of collecting delinquent
personal property taxes. These taxes
60 back number of years, and many
thousands of dollars have been COL
lected by Sheriff Turner and his depu-
ties in the last two years.
Many Of the accounts are against
people who have moved from the
county and state, and in these it is i'm
possible to force the claim. Every
one of the accounts of this nature
have been traced down, and the coun-
ty knows just where it is at on de-
linQuent taxes.

ganized townships. Many of the au-
ditors had not been up against this
proposition, and therefore were not
familiar with such conditions. 1t is
probable that before the close of the
meeting. some legislation covering the
defect in the law in this particular
will be proposed and adopted.
Mr.. Irving of Sargent county moved
the drafting of bill making each in
corporated village a separate politi-
cal unit and separate road district
with authority to levy road taxes.
This motion was amended by direct
ing him to draft the proper bill and
present the same to the legislative
committee.
During the morning hour the man
who does not know much about the
county auditors work found out that
he knew much less than he had taken
credit for. The auditors talked about
things that would have set the aver
age businessman mad in month.
Among such things which came up
in an informal manner was the mat
ter of taxing telephone, telegraph and
express companies. There seems to
be no definite way of ascertaining the
mileage owned by these concerns, and
they usually make as little returns to
the county auditor as it is possible
and the only thing the auditors can
do is to make the best guess he can
ana trust to luck for success. An
other thing which is of interest is
the fact that the $40 rebate can be
so distributed under the present sys-
TEN of assessment that one man by
having property in number of diff
ferent townships can get a half
dozen of them. One instance was
pointed out wherein the head of the
family had property taxed to seven or
eigth members so that each one Sc
cured the rebate and made a decided
profit.
J. B. Wineman addressed the meet
ing this afternoon, and made the fol-
lowing recommendations.
That the law with reference to the
bonds of county depositors be amend
ed so as to provide that they should
be recorded at length in the Office of
the register of deeds before being filed
with the county auditor.
That the association recommend a
county assessor rather than township
or village assessor.
That a law be passed requiring a
station agent to report to the county
auditor in April each year the name
and number Of each private car at
his destination during that month. The
county auditor to report to the state
board of equalization the following
month.
That law be enacted providing
that no county auditor shall issue a
tax deed that the state or county had
IBID in for delinquent taxes until such
taxes had been paid.
That the provision of law which
allows purchasers Vt tax certificates
should be amended so as to not allow
the payment of subsequent delinquent
taxes until within three days of the
date of sale.
That each assessor be compelled to
comply with the law requiring each
owner of personal property to make
oath at the time he signs his tax list.
That the so-called foreign building
and loan associations be required to
pay franchise tax.
