TAX COMMISSION WILL
VISIT BELTRAM| COUNTY
Member OF Commission Will Visit With
Assessors and County Auditor
May End.

County Auditor Wilmann has re
ceived a letter stating that arrange
ments have been made for the
tour of the state to be made by
the tax commission for the pur
pose of comforting with the county
auditors and assessors.
1t is the plan of the commission
that one of its members shall
visit each county seat in the state,
and the purpose of this is to advise
the county auditors and assessors
of the manner in which their work
should be done to conform to the
records of the commission.
The letter informed Mr.. Wilmann
that one of the tax commissioners
would be at Bemidji to hold the
Beltrami county meeting on Satur-
day, May End, and he would like
to meet every assessor of Beltrami
county at that time for the pur-
pose of talking over the assessments
for this year.
The law provides that the asses
sors shall hold an annual meeting,
but it is to be held on the last Thurs
day in April.
The letter received by Mr.. Will
mann, however, conveys the inform
alton that this special meeting, which
will be held after the regular meet
ing would be held, will take the place
of that meeting. Assessors are
allowed some expenses for attending
this meeting, which is paid by their
town.
The work, as laid out by the state
board, will consume the entire time
of the three members of the board
from March 23rd to the close of the
first week in May, and in order to
accomplish it in that time it has
been necessary to divide the state
into series Of trips arranged accord
ing to geographical situation of
county seats, and the time of meet
tings has been arranged with close
relation to time of trains.
Through the county auditors,
assessors have been notified of hours
for meetings and all have been
requested to be at the county seats
at the time announced.

The Buck tails.

Twas the month of April, in eighteen sixty-one,
That our Unions Flag was threatened by the
fall of Sumter's guns;
Each loyal heart was beating true and waiting for
commands.
To shoulder arms and give their lives to save
their native land.
Among the hosts of patriots who heard their
country's call,
Were band of hardy mountain men, a sturdy
race ana tall,
who volunteered their services, these men of
daring deeds,
And only waited for man, they to the front
to lead.
A leader came soldier true, all honor to his
name,
This man was one of natures best, twas Thomas
Leiper Kane,
He was man of sterling worth, a natural soldier
born,
Who knew these mountain men from birth, and
loved them as his sons.
From Elk and Cameron and McKean these
sturdy men came FORTH
With Kane to guide through fire and flame as
they fou yht for the North,
Their deeds are known by young and old, their
their names are household words.
These patriots who volunteered to fight with
gun and sword.
"THE BUCKTAIL REGIMENT they were
called, their honor they upheld,
Through many bood-stained battle fields where
they faced shot and shell,
They never knew the word retreat, quailed
at deaths alarms
The Unions trust was in them placed defended
by their arms.
Meohanicsville and Malvern Hill, Bull Run and
Fredericksburg,
Antetam and South Mountain too, their battle
cry was heard,
Gains Mill and droveton, Gettysburg The Will
derness also,
New Market Cross Roads, where brave blood in
rivulets did flow.
Catlets Station was the same and yet Bethesda
church
Where ldeath did stock in bullets form, for
soldiers lives to search,
The Bucktail Regiment never hinched twas
always in the van,
The mountain men stood side by side to save
their Yankee Land"
We raise this monument to-day, to those who've
gone BEFORE
And they who have been spared to us, we warm
ly greet once more.
All honor to the Bucktais; their names willnever
die,
May they receive all blessings here, and eternal
peace on high.

The Bucktail Campfire Song.

(Tune Marching Through Georgia)
Dear Comrades, once again meet, in Penn
sylvania's land,
Just forty-seven years ago we were that gallant
band.
Who started out, with spirits bold, our country
to defend;
We are the Pennsylvania Buck-tals.
CHORUS.
Three Cheers! Hurrah! for Bdde and for Kane,
We wish that they were here with us again;
But still we know that those who've gone, have
homes in heaven gained,
And their spirits watch over the Bucktails.
Our country now is safe again, the Bucktails
work is done,
No more the bugle calls them to fight with sword
and gun,
But still the Nation loves them all, yes each and
every one,
And blesses the Pennsylvania Bucktails.
CHORUS.
We cheer and love tIis gallant soldier band,
Who fought TO save the honor of our land,
The Bucktail stands for liberty and all that it
commands,
Three cheers for the Pennsylvania Bucktails.
