Collections Good.

County Treasurer Froseth reports
that the collection of delinquent
taxes are better this year than they
have been for long time. This
showing in face of the fact that the
delinquent list is much smaller than
in previous years is exceptionally
gratifying. Since the delinquent
rolls were turned over to the Treas
urer So, 978. Al had been collected up
to last night, while a year ago the
collections for the same period
reached the sum of $2,43982. The
sale on the 21st of May will undoubt-
edly be the smallest in years. That
is there will be fewer descriptions
to be sold.

Met Friday.

A meeting of the Comme rcial
Club was held at the club looms last
Friday afternoon for the purpose of
perfecting plans for appearing be-
fore the County Board at it's meet
ing next Monday, with a view
to getting an appropriation for
road out in the four mile creek coun-
try. The matter is of great lmpor-
tance and will furnish an outlet for
the many farmers who are settling
on the barrons in the town of Bell
and Bayfield,. The proposed road
will be constructed on the town
lines between the towns of Bayfield,,
Washburn and Bell and it is hoped
that the plan will be successful.
The towns of Bayfield,, Bell and
Washburn are not interested
enough in the road to expend town
money in it's cons tructiop, and this
being the case it is expected that
the County Board can be pursuaded
to take the matter up.
The question of asking the North
arn Pacific to build a new depot
here instead of repairing the old one
which was partially destroyed oy
fire a few days ago, was also dis
cussed, and a committee was appoin-
ted to convey the decision of the club
to the officials of the road.
