Cresco Loses to Harmony.

Cresco lost the game yesterday to
Harmony, and in doing so lost for the
first time this season. The score stood
6 to 8. There were two great contrib
uting causes for Cresco's defeat; one
was the curves of Eikens of Caledonia
who was in the box for Harmony; the
other wrs the poor support given by
the Cresco team to Sanders, who
pitched a good game. 1t was decided
ly an off day with several of the home
team.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending June Is, 1908.

For the week ending June Is, 1908.
Des Moines, Iowa.
! The average temperature and sun
shine have been below the normal dur
ing the past week in all parts of the
state, and the rainfall was below nor
NAL over the northeastern, and above
over the southwestern half of the
state. Showers occurred in some part
of the state every day during the week
yet there was an average of four days
without rain, and work in the corn
fields was vigorously pushed. Most of
the early planted fields have been culti-
waited once, and, in many localities, the
second cultivation is well advanced.
Considerable planting and replanting
was done in fields which had previously
been too wet. Many fields in the river
bottoms and on flat, undrained land are
still covered with water, or are too wet
to permit any work being done, but for
the state at large there has been de-
cided improvement in the condition of
our staple crop, altho there will be a
decrease in the anticipated acreage, as
many fields have been or will be aban-
doned. The final acreage will prob
ably be about the same as that of last
year. The cool weather was beneficial
to small grain, in preventing the de-
velopment of rust, and those crops, to-
gether with grass and potatoes, are
reported to be in a very thrifty con-
dition. Hay making is reported as
having begun in Iowa county, and some
alfalfa has been cut in Marion county.
The yield of cherries, which are now
getting ripe, will be large over most
of the northern and light in southern
districts, but Strawberries give promise
of fair crop in all parts of the state.
The apple crop will be light.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-05-22
Iron County, Michigan

The slump in mining has struck
Iron county the hardest of any
county in the Lake Superior dis
trict, for, out of total of twenty
seven mines, all but nine are closed
down and the nine that are being
worked are operated with greatly
reduced forces, reports Crystal Falls
Drill. Not alone have the produc-
ing mines been closed but explora-
tory work has been curtailed until
it is a mere shadow of what was be-
ing done before the slump occurred
This is especially true of the west
side of the countrys in the Iron
River and Stambaugh districts
where options have been dumped
on an unprecedented score of late.
Every exploration that is not ex-
ceedingly promising has been let
go of and no one wants anything
that is not very promising.

one there's a funeral, cut flowers

can use a word or words yard
long without him or anyone know
ing what they mean; but if the ed

a doctor goes to see another mans
wife he charges for the visit; but
if the editor goes he gets charge
of buckshot. When thedoctor gets
drunk it's being overcome by the
heat and if he dies it's from heart
trouble; when an editor gets drunk
it's a case of too much booze and if
he dies it's the jim jams. Any old
college can make doctor; an editor
has to be born"

Boy Describes an Editor

I don't know how newspapers
came to be in this world. l don t
think God does, for he hain't got
nothing to say about them and ed
itors in the Bible. l think the ed
itor is one of the missing links you
read of, and stayed in the bushes
after the flood; and them came out
and wrote the things up, and has
been here ever since; don't think
he ever dies; / never saw a dead
one and never heard of one getting
licked. Our paper is a mighty
good one; but the editor goes with

why the editor had to suck the

go to bed when he had a shirt

took me out in the woodshed and

makes a mistake folks say he ought
to be hung; but if a doctor makes
any mistakes he burries them and
people dassent say anything because
doctors can read and write Latin,

TURNED DOWN
Tax Commission Against the
Ore Country

The county commissioners of the
three range counties werenot hand
led with gloves by the state tax
commission in dealing with the pro-
posed abatement on the assessments
of the mining properties on the
range. Their recommendation that
the allowance be made received a
most unceremonious turn down at
the hands of the commissioners.
The mine officials whose proper
ties were concerned in the matter
are also smarting under the sting
of the cold rebuke administered to
their desires by the commissioners.
1t was a case of the judgement of
the whole. north country against
the three tax judges.
The abatement asked for ON the
assessments aggregated about $45,-
100000. The applications were
submitted to the tax commissioners
only after they had been approved
by the county commissioners in the
counties in which the properties are
located.
The applications were based on
grounds that practically attacked
the method by which the commits
sion arrived at the valuation placed
on the properties. The commission
rose manfully to a defense of its
position and declared that it was
impossible to grant sthe petitions
because it would necessitate conf
p1ete revision of the valuations.
In few of the applications where
the evidence of valuation were
too clear to be disputed the abate-
ments were granted by the commits
s1oners, but the great majority were
instantly turned down.
Before filing upon the valuation
of these properties the commission
made a personal inspection of the
properties and then held hearing in.
the Office at the state capitol at
which the mining interests were al
lowed to present their views as to
the proper valuation to be placed
on the various properties. The
commission then decided upon the
valuation for each property, which
increased the total valuation of the
iron ore properties in the state
about $12O, 900, 900. The valuation
thus fixed was subsequently review
ed by the state board of equalization
and after a hearing at which the
representatives of the mining in
terests were heard they approved
the valuation fixed by the tax COM
mission.
