Itasoa County Would Be Hard Hit.
Grand Rapids, Mimi. Feb. Follow
at the mass meeting held here Monday
night to protest against the passage of
the tonnage tax law Hattie F., Booth,
county superintendent of schools, has sent
out a statement of school conditions which
shows that the proposed law would de-
stroy the schools in this county in the
districts where they are most needed.
Says Mrs. Booth:
1.-THE mining property stands for one
third of the assessed valuation of the
county. In Districts No. and No.
there Is practically no revenue except
from the mines. In District No; there
is an assessed IS valuation Of Of $ins 6 OF
state has loaned the district $1OO.OOO to
carry on the school work, and the re-
moval of the mines from the assessment
roll p w tSa asse up the psrcts ana and
mining is the only occupation OF the peo--
pie, and IL the bill becomes law we will
have to close the schools. The effect of
children who would become criminals and
the state would have to support them In
institutions"
Itasca county is interested in the ton
mage tax as business proposition to q
greater extent than St. Louis. county:
The mines here are just being developed
at high cost, much of the ore requiring
special treatment. 1t is assumed that
under tonnage tax no new mines would
be opened and the operating companies
would not prosecute the development OF
low grade properties for many years, not
until the ones which are less expensive
in the mining had been removed from the
other ranges.
Itasca county will send a big delega-
ton TO st. Paul to fight the passage OF
thu tonnage tax law.

Pittsburg, Pa.-With the death of
Mrs. Cassie Chadwick every effort
will be made to keep from the public
her statement regarding money she

ment was made in connection with the
suit of Mrs. William J. lutte against
Friend and F. n. Hofstott for the re.

Mrs. Chadwick's deposition was Or
dered sealed by Judge Shafer, but
Mrs. Jatte appealed the case, and it
was ordered opened for use before
the Superior Court. That would
mean its publicity, and Friend and
others were trying their best to pre-
vent it. With Mrs. Chadwick dean

plain her allegations.
1t is said Mrs. Chadwick secured
from Pittsburgers as much as $780,

The Scientific American quotes the
Iron Age to the effect that evidence
exists that a work similar to the IA
nous Simplon tunnel, but on a small
er scale, was executed some twenty
four centuries ago. Owing to the bad
state of the water supply of Jerusa.
lem the King ordered a reservoir to
be made at the gates of the city, to
which water was to be brought from
various springs. The Shiloh tunnel,
by means of which water was brought
down from a source to the east of
Jerusalem and poured into the pool
of Sloan, was 1850 feet long, and
is in a straight line. 1t has been
learned that work was commenced at
both ends of the tunnel, and the di'
rection. altered a number Of times
The floor of the tunnel is finished
with great care. The width varies
from 10 to 5 feet and the height from
8 to 9 feet. There is much specula.
ton as to how these engineers gagged
their direction so well as to be able
to recognize and correct errors in
alinement, as was certainly done.

80 THE TRAP NEST DOES.

WHAT THE TRAP NEST DOES.
II shows which hen lays the egg.
It shows just what each hen is doing.
It picks out the 3o0-egg hen, the
20o-egg. the 1o0-egg, the 50-egg and
the drone. Feeding the drone is one
of the greatest leaks of the poultry
man.
It picks out the wintar layer. 1t
enables one to get acquainted with
each individual hen.
The frequent handling and moving
hen from the nest tames her and the
tame hen is a paying hen.
1t prevents egg eating, as the
prft is easily detecte and killed.
1t picks out the hen that lays the
infertile egg, the brown, the white n
the yellow egg.
ii picks out the hen that raises the
best chicks. Not always the high
est scoring hen raises the winning
chicks.
It is the only practical way that a
breeder can pedigree his stock. Poul-
try will in time be pedigreed as is
other pure-bred stock. Trap nests
may be placed in a building or yard
away from the laying hens (when
used for sitting hens) and they can
be removed once a day for feed and
water. When they return to the nest
they shut themselves in and the other
hens out so they cannot crowd on
and break the eggs.
The trap nest is a simple contriv-
ance by which the door is set on a
trigger which is sprung by the hen
when she enters. The door closes
and she cannot leave the nest until
removed by hand.
A numbered band on each hens
leg enables the owner to tell exactly
what each hen is doing by writing her
number on the eggs in the trap nest.
