The great tumble in stocks on
Wall Street, seems to have caught
and ruined more amateur specula-
tors than any other event in recent
years. Hundreds Of cases, all told,
have developed in which trusted
employees of banking houses had
ventured upon the use Of cash and
bonds in their reach, in sums rang
ing from small amounts all the
way up to a million dollars, send
ing bad money after worse. In one
case a bank teller in New York
utilized about $500, 900 Of railroad
bonds to keep up his margins, and
another in Boston took 500, 900 Of
the funds of a corporation of which
he was secretary and treasurer. OF
course the money went like pouring
water in a rat hole, and the men

ASSESSMENT OF THE CARS
]. B. Wineman Preparing Bill Of I'm.
portance-Must Report Refrig.
orator Cars on Hand April 1.

States Attorney Wineman is making
preparations for the drafting and in
PRODUCTION of bill into the state leg
islature compelling all railway agents
in the state to report to the state Of
ficials the first of April every year, as
to the number of private cars in OPP
Grafton in the towns of the state, so
that the taxes can not be evaded. Mr..
Wineman's action comes as result of
the recent agitation of the Swift Pack
ing company of this city for reduc-
ton on assessment on the refrigerator
cars, which, although being utilized
for storage purposes, it is claimed be-
longed to the Swift refrigerator line,
States Attorney Wineman does not
agree with the argument which has
been advanced that because coal deal
ers made storage houses out of cars
owned by the railway companies the
packing houses should have their own
cars and by using them for storage
purposes, escape taxation.
The packing houses in this state
have almost no other taxable property
and transact business that totals up
into the millions every year.

HANCOCK DOES NOT
WORRY OVER
SALARY
Annual Fees Of Office Are
Larger Than the Annual
Expenses.
MANY PAPERS ARE FILED
And the Registers Office Fund
is Sufficient to Pay Salaries ;.
Many Years.
MANY PAPERS ARE FILED

Register Of DEEDS need have no fear
but what he will collect enough fees
during the next two years 50 as to be
able to receive his salary, and even
though the office should not scollect
one cent in fees Tor the two years, he
would still be assured his salary.
The law concerning the salary and
expenses of the register Of deeds Is
peculiar one. It provides that ex-
penses of the Office shall be paid for
out Of the receipts. Should the re-
ceipts not be as large as the expense,
the officer would not receive his salary
or at least that part of It which the
receipts would not cover.
During the last few years, the fees
OF the Grand Forks county have been
over and above the running expense
about $4,000. until at the present time
there are several thousand in the
register Of deeds Office fund. If, dur
ing the next year, no money should be
collected, the expenses of the office
would be taken from this sum.
In 1906 there was collected in the
register of deeds Office in fees, the sum
Of $6,785.65. The salaries of the office
amounted to $4,000 with the running
a balance Of almost $4,000 which is
placed in the registers fund.
