The editors Of the country
journals in this state have inaug-
urated a movement to secure the
passage of a law providing for
the publication of the personal
property tax list. : There are
many reasons why this list
should receive more publicity
than it has at present. It would
give each individual taxpayer a
knowledge of the amount of tax
paid by his neighbor taxpayers
and would have a tendency to
equalize personal property valua.

Untaxed State Lands.

Untaxed State Lands.
The most serious handicap to
the growth of northern Mime
sofa is the policy Of the state in
holding back it's large domain of?
state lands from settlement,
after the fashion of an absentee
landlord who cares for nothing,
except the prospect that one day
he will be able to sell his lands at
a higher price.
While a large sale of state. lands:
is to:be held this spring, it is the
first for numb Der of years, and
the policy Of the state has been
to hold it's lands for speculative
purposes, to the detriment of
northern Minnesota Besides,
it owns millions of acres of
swamp lands which it secured
fromsthe federal government in
consideration of a promise that
it would drain them, and so far
it has refused to appropriate the
money necessary to carry out
this contract. ....- .
In the meantime, areas open for
settlement, in many cases., are
absolutely unavaila BILE because
they are surrounded by state
lands that pay: no local. taxes,
help build no schools, and con-
tribute nothing toward the con-
struction of the roads that are
absolutely necessary for develop.
ment and growth. The fairest
bit of farming land in the world
is absolutely; useless'i if it is sur
rounded by dormant state lands.
The man who would settle upon
it would = be- guilty of the most
,arrant folly, for there would be
no one to help him build a school
Fhouse in which Il" his children
might be educated, no one to help
him build roads over which he
might carry his, produce to
market, no one to help in the
support of county, township and
school district. 49,.
This policy of the state has
been blight upon northern
Minnesota, as desolating in it's
effects as a plague or a drouth.
It is this that has caused the
press of northern Minnesota to
rise in a body and demand that
a more liberal and farsighted
policy be adopted. It. is this
that has caused the people of the
northern half of the state to- de.
mand that the state shall have
some thought for those who are
trying to bring their sections
into the fullness of prosperity
that their resources warrant. It
lis this that has given rise to the
cry for strong men for the legis-
lature from this end of the state
men who are capable of bringing
about the change in policy that
is SO sadly needed.
The suggestion has been made
by a local citizen that the state
should be compelled to pay local
taxes upon it's dormant lands so
long as it persists in holding
them back from settlement
This idea is a good one, but it's
realization depends upon the fair
ness and patriotism of the mem.
bership of the legislature. Sell
tishness on the part of members
from central and southern Min
nesota would be fatal to its sue
cess. But if they look at the
question with an eye single to
the growth and prosperity of the
entire state, they will either
grant that this request is reason,
able, or will speedily set in mo-
ton policy that shall relieve
northern MINES ta of it's curse
of speculative landlordism. -Du-

Tough Old Heart Found.

After being preserved in soda for
1851 years, the heart of Rameses II
has been unwrapped and inspected.
The Complies Rendus of the Paris
Academy tells the story in one of its
recent issues. Several months ago four
vases containing the heart and viscera
OF Rameses II were bought by the Ma
tional Museum of the Louvre.
Three of the vases contained bundles
of linen wrappings which, with their
contents, had been hardened by the
carbonate of soda and resinous SUBJ
stance which had been employed.
The three packages presumably con-
tanned the stomach, intestines and liver
OF the king, but these had so mingled
with the preservatives used that they
could not be identified.
The fourth vase, whose cover bore a
representation Of Jackal's head, was
found actually to contain the king S
heart, but transformed into sort of
hard, oval plate Of hornlike texture.
The only way in which sections of 1t
could be obtained for microscopical ex-
animation was by. saving of piece
and reducing 1t with a razor
These specimens were found to have
muscular construction peculiar only
to the heart and the tongue. AS the
mummy of Rameses II, now at Cairo,
has not lost its tongue, there is no
doubt that the horny plate at Paris is
all that Is left OF the rulers heart

MANY BOOKS DISAPPEAR

OAKLAND. Sept 5-One thousand
eight hundred and tventy-four books
have disappeared from the Public
Library during the fourteen and a
half months ending August 81 of this
year. according TO the report made 10
the Board OF Library Trustees by Lii
brarian Charles s Greene It is be-
lleved that many Of the missing vol
umes were deliberately stolen by per-
sons who had access TO the shelves.
while others We're taken by individ-
usls who intended TO return them,
but who have forgotten Il do so As
a result OF the great loss Of books
from the library il is probable that the
privilege OF allowing patrons access
10 the shelves TO scan and select VOL
unes viii be withdrawn. The book

Librarians report has grown with the
abuse OF the open shelf privilege.
