to skate on the ice in the Fayal
pond, Eveleth, and went into the
water. John Benson in trying to
rescue the Rosila boy was also
drowned and Joe Munich who was
assisting had narrow escape.
Edna Geary, the 12-year-old
daughter of Richard Geary the
Hibbing jeweler was shot and
killed Sunday evening at the home
of w. c. Barrett by the 10-year-
old son of the Barretts. The child
rem were playing teatricals and the
william represented by young Bar
rett secured a revolver and in the

The grading for No. E ore yard
at Two Harbors has been begun by
Jones Bros. of Cincinnati, the con-
tractors. Several sub-contracts
have been let. Sixteen new tracks
will be laid.
Chisholm is rapidly rising from
the ruins. Mayor Haven of Du-
luth, who has had charge of the
work of seeing after the sufferers
reports everything in good shape.
The mayor says; Work is now
being carried on on the eighty-fifth
house erected for fire sufferers.
This probably is all that will be
built under orders of the commits
sion. Nearly all the other houses
of this number have been complet-
ed, and most of them are occupied.
If the local committee so recon-
mends, the construction of more
buildings will be authorized.
There is an air of general salts
faction prevalent in Chisholm, and
the people seem invariably well
pleased with the manner in which
the relief work has been carried
on"
The long drawn out contests
between the Finnish Socialists and
the Finnish Temperance societies
of E,ve1eth, resulted in more frict-
ion Sunday night when the last
named organization had a detail OF
police placed about the Urania hall
and admission was denied to those
holding to the Debs' tennents. 1t
is expected the affair will again be
aired in the courts.
The cities of Virginia and Ev-
eleth on the Mesaba have each
adopted the municipal court act
and their judges willbepaid asalary
instead of fees as heretofore. Judge
Carey of Virginia gets 81, 500 a
year while Judge Prince of Eveleth
will receive $1,000 year.
Pat Walsh, sheriff off Koochich-
ing county, died in the hospital at
Bemidji last week. He has been
seriff for some time and at the last
election was reelected.
The race for sheriff of Itasca
county has narrowed down to a
majority of 20 votes in favor OF

The government has selected a

OFFICIAL COUNT
st. Louis County Board
Completes Canvass

The official count of the recent
election has been completed by the
board of canvassers and with the
exception of Governor John A.
Johnson the whole Republican
ticket carried in St. Louis county.
William H. Taft, for president,
has majority of 1872 votes over
Bryan. This is about the majority
that Mr.. Cu1kin, chairman of the
Republican county committee,
claimed before election. Although
Debs pol1ed 1905 it was not as
many as his followers had hoped
for. Sheriff Bates, on whom
strong fight was made by Charles
Jesmore for sheriff, carried the
county by 2,S83 votes, and this
was the smallest majority given
any candidate on the Republican
ticket except jacobson, who was
beaten by 713 by Johnson for gov
ernor. The tax amendment was
beaten by more than 5000 votes.
The total vote cast was Is, 987, and
of this number ]. B. Middlecof,
for judge of probate, received
-, 646, the greatest number cast
for any single candidate. John H.
Norton, for county attorney, poll
ed 1851, or IS votes less than

The city council met last evening
to fix the assessment of taxation for
the year 1908.
The assessed valuation of all the
property in the city, based on a 80 per
cent valuation this year amounts to
$3.50, 1861, as against $2,733, S37
last year, when the assessment was
based on IS per cent valuation. This
would seem to indicate an actual in
crease in the valuation of property in
this city this year over last year of
% per cent, considering the valua-
tons amount TO almost the same, not
withstanding a reduction in the basis
of assessment from as per cent to so
per cent.
The following resolution was adopt
ed by the council fixing the rate and
making the distribution:
Be it resolved, By the mayor and
the common council of the City of Bis
bee, that there be and there is hereby
levied upon the assessed value of
real and personal property within the
city of Bisbee, as shown by the equal
lied assessment roll Of the city of Bis
bee, for the year A. d. 1908, the fol-
lowing taxes.
]. Four mills on the dollar of such
assessed valuation to defray the sal
aries of officers and the ordinary and
contingent expenses of the city not
otherwise provided for.
2. Twelve mills on the dollar of
such assessed valuation for the pur-
pose of constructing and repairing
streets, sewers. sidewalks and cross
walks, bridges and culyerts.
3. Four mills on the dollar of sucn
assessed valuation to defray the inter
est Of the public debt of the city.
That warrant be issued by the clerk
for the collection of said taxes.
II will be seen from the above that
the rate this year VIII be two cents
on the dollar, an increase over last
year of two mills. This will mean
that the city taxes tais year will
amount to a sum total of $4,000.

The Douglag Dispatch SAYS:

The Douglas Dispatch says:
Yesterday new Richmond in Ari
IONA, the Warren team, came over and
they, too, succeeded in putting the
kibosh on the locals to the close score
.of to 1.
1t was pitchers battle. The mighty
Wimp of Warren was pitted against
the luckiest find of the season-no one
else but Physical Director Baltzlev,
of our own dear Y. NJ. c. A. Moth
ing could have been better than the
performance of these two stars. Baltz
ley proved himself one of the most
skillfuI and neTviest pitchers ever seen
on the local diamond and this, toe
in face of none too good support and
an opposing slab artist of the first mag
nitude. In the pinches Baltzley was
there smiling, strong and invincible.
And the same can be said Of the phe-
nomenal Wimp, who, but for one Of
the most unfortunate accidents, would
have scored a no-hit, shut-out game.
Well may Warren be proud of its
team, for Douglas has no kick coming
for losing to her ball players, even
though our wizard Baltzley struck out
10 men and allowed only four hits.
II that Warren TOwnsite company
does not literally support the War
rem team, let's send their stock to
'steen cents.

a battle royal, for never were two
teams more closely matched. Analy-

gained one point in every twenty-eighE
shots fired and a lead of twelve in
score of 1106 was not an overwhelm-
ing victory. Still the blues were not

baseball seen here this year and those
fans who were faithful enough to keep
on going to the games despite the
wretched baseball that has been the
order heretofore this season were re-
warded amply.
The game was a fingers battle with
little to choose between the two men.
To a man out OF the rain neither side
had much license to keep from smash
ing the bali. The pitchers didn't seem
to have anything. but whatever they
had or did have they got away with
