New Mortgage Tax Law.

What is a new and novel law
and one which may have a tend.
ency to reduce the rate of inter,
est on real estate mortgages is
the mortgage tax law which goes
into effect tomorrow.
Com m encing tomorrow
morning, all real estate mort
cages, before being filed for
record, must bear the certificate
of the county treasurer showing
that a tax of fifty cents for each
500 or fractional part thereof
has been paid.
By this payment the mortgage
is exempt from taxation and the
party loaning the money need
have no fear of his or her mort
gage being listed for taxation.
This money, at the time of
making settlement, is appor-
toned to the several funds of the
county and state, the same as
though it we're real estate tax,
and each town, the state and the
county receives it's proportlonate
share of the money.

Walker & AkeIey Purchase Holdings
Giving Them Over One Hundred
Million Feet.
WAS IN ALMOST INACCESSIBLE
COUNTRY AND WAS NOT CUT
Timber Will Be Logged BY Railroad
and Taken to AkeIey for
Saving.

Walker & Akeley, the logging
firm that furnishes the ssraw
material" for the Red River
Lumber company's big sawmill
at Akeley, has acquired all the
pine in what is known as the
Kabekona gulch country, east
of Lake George, and is already
making preparations to cut the
tim ber next winter.
The stands which lie along the
''gulch" contain what is believed
to be the very best white and
Norway pine to be found in Hub
bard county. The timber was
secured several years ago by T.
B. Walker, G. F. Ruggles, T. Fl.
Shevlin and others, but has never
been cut, owing to the almost
inaccessible condition of the
country. The gulch, which ex.
tends from a short distance east
of Lake George to Kabekona lake,
is a deep ravine, the banks on
either side of which in some
places beng fully 100 feet high.
The pine covers these banks,
and owing to the steepness of the
hills, it has always been consid-
cred as next to impossible to cut
the timber and log it to any ad-
vantage, as the cost Of building
logging roads that could handle
the work would be- almost pro.
hibitive. However, Walker &
Akeley have decided to log the
tim Der, and will build a railroad
in order to do the work. Many
contractors have looked the tim
ber over, and it Is the general
conclusion that the only feasible
method of logging the stands is
with a railroad.
Walker & Akeley have let a
contract to John Moberg of Be-
midi to build two miles of the
railroad that will be used in log
ging the Kabekona pine. Mo-
berg, this week, began hiring
men and laying plans for putting
in the road, which will be no
small task. He expects to have
the road constructed and fully
equipped for business in ample
time for next season s logging.
Mr.. Moberg states that, as a
rough estimate, Walker & Axe
ley now have with their recent
acquisitions) fully 100000
feet of the finest Norway and
white pine in the Kabekona
country, all Of which will be cut
and hauled by rail to the mill at
Akeley.

CHECKED IN TIME
Big Loss at Miller & Peck Fire
 Water and Smoke Mainly.

A fire that threatened to wipe out the few remaining frame buildings in the center was discovered last night in the store of the Miller & Peck company, 53 South Main street, by James Hoard of Hamilton avenue, who saw the smoke, satisfied himself that something was burning and then sent in an alarm from box 2, Ex- change place. This brough out En- zine No ? Chemical No 1 and hook & Ladder No 1 with Hose companies and 2, but when Chief Snagg arirv- ed and took in the situation he thought it would be good plan not to take any chances and promtply sent in second alarm calling out Engines and 8, Chemical No 2 and Hook and Ladder Co No 2, with Hose companies Nos and 6.
 In the meantime the companies that responded to the first call had attacked the fire in front and rear and after short but lively battle succeeded in subduing the flames be- fore great amount of damage was done to the building, but of course the loss to the stock was consider able, nearly everything in the imme- diate vicinity of the fire being deluged with water. In this department there was stock valued at about $25,- 900. Stock in other parts of the three buildings occupied by the con- pany, valued at about $80,00O was | damaged more or less by smoke and water, but to what extent will not be known until after an inspection and | inventory. The Miller & Peck company oc- cupies all of the building owned by Charles Miller also the one belong ing to Mrs Daniels on the North and portion of the Brown block in the rear.
 The' fire started between the joists of the second floor in the Daniels block and spread like lightning working clear across to the south side of the alleyway between Miller's block and the rubber store. Here the | firemen offered stubborn resistance and by successfully checking it's ad- vance saved the Turnbull and Bergin block and prevented a conflagration that would have done considerable damage. The damage to the build- 1 ings will not exceed $500.
 Joseph Fava, the tailor. occupied the second floor of the Miller build- ing. His loss is principally by water. MT Fava is in Canada and has not yet been heard from.
 It is thirteen years ago since there was fire in the store before. At that time the city government made an effort to prevent MT Miller from repairing the building, but he took the matter into the courts and won his point.
