LOSES TAX CASE.
Lumber Roads to Be Taxed
in Counties Where Head
quarters Are.

st. Paul, Feb. II. The SUI
preme court yesterday decided
that lumber and logging roads
must be taxed in the counties in
which is located the principal
place of business of the company
owning them.
The decision was rendered in
the case of the Board of County
commissioners of st. Louis
county VS.. the state auditor. The
companies interested in the case
are the Northern and the CLOG uet
Lum Der companies of Carlton
county. They are the owners of
the Duluth & Northern and the
Missabe Southern railroads. The
st. Louis county officials sought
to tax these roads in st. Louis
county. The supreme court held
that railroads not doing a regu-
lar passenger or freight business
for hire should be taxed in the
county where the headq uarters

Report of Finance Committee
Recomme nding Bond Issue
Published in Full.

The finance committee of the
city council in a report filed with
the city clerk Dec. 4, 1905, recon-
mends the issuing of bonds in
the sum of $4,000, and it will be
interesting to many to know that
the action of the city council in
calling an election was made
after this report had been con-
sidered. The report follows:
To THE HONORABLE MAYOR
AND CITY COUNCIL, City of Be-
midi.
Gentlemen The finance com
mittee, after due consideration,
recon mends that this council
take immediate steps to call a
special election to vote on bond
ing the city as follows:
100000 to take care of old
orders outstanding issued under
the Village of Bemidii.
100000 to be placed in the
permanent improvement fund.
$8,00O.OO to be placed in the
permanent improvement revolv-
ing fund.
We recommend the 100000
to pay the outstanding orders
because it is necessary that all
orders be paid in the order that
they are recorded and should our
treasurer pay the new orders
now being issued by this council,
he makes himself liable and can
be forced to pay orders as re-
corded.
We also feel that the servants
of this city should be paid in full
for their work and receive their
money without delay.
The $1,000 for the permanent
i'm provements is recommended
because it is impossible to raise
money to be used during the
coming year by any other means
than bond issue and it is abso-
lutely necessary that this city
make some start toWart sewer
during the coming year, as well
as doing some work on other
permanent improvements.
The $4,000 for the permanent
improvement revolving fund is to
enable the work of putting in

Gan Editor Defined.

The definition of an editor, given by
the Spectator in a review of the new edi'
ton of Blake's poems, is worthy of quo
tation:
"A good editor in an immortal benefac'
tor. His work, unlike the work of the
critic, can never pass away. He loses
himself, subordinates all hispersonal pre-
dilections and aims to the meaning of his
author, and his reward is perpetuity fol
his work and oblivion, it may be, for him.
self. He helps readers to their destina-
ton, and like the engine driver of a train,
is forgotten as soon as they have arrive in
safety. He is like a perfectly transparent
window through which the light of his
author streams without diminution or
distortion; while the aesthetic and origi.
nal critics resemble a window of colored
glass which permits the passage of only
80 much light as will serve to set off the
pride of the artist"

r. A. Adams In j.. Chains.

Gov. Hayward has received the follow

Colleton county: II have R. A. Adams
under chains. What must I do with
him?" In reply Gov. Hayward stated:
"Telegram received. Hold prisoner in
safe keeping pending sentence as re-
quired by law"
When Adams escaped from the Collie
ton county Jail at Walterboro about three
years ago there was great deal of talk
about the lack of proper precautions at
the Jail, and Sheriff Owens indicates in
his telegram that he proposes to hold the
prisoner this time. There was reward
of 81 600 for the capture of Adams but
this did not have to be paid, as the fugi-
tive was captured by the sheriff and his
posse, after the exchange of shots.
1t is quite probable that an effort will
be made to get pardon for Adams aud
the pardon board will have stiff propo.
sition in this case if the petition should
be sent in. Adams indicated while he
was in detention at the State prison in
Columbia that he would try to get execu-
tive clemency.-Columbia State.
