A TIMES HOLD-UP
Delinquent Tax List Appears Only
in Weekly Times
LIMITED CIRCULATION
County Pays Nine Gents Per DeS-
CriptiOn While Seven Other Papers
Offered Four and a Half

The official proceedings of the Board
of Commissioners of Stearns county
show that the delinquent tax list is to
appear only in the St. Cloud Weekly
Times. The resolution awarding
this printing reads as follows:
Whereas, said offer is the lowest
that has been received by this
board for the printing of said de-
linquent tax list in comparison
to the ST. Cloud Times as a med
ium to bring the news before the
taxpayers of the county,
Therefore, be it resolved, That
the list of taxes be published in
the St. Cloud Weekly Times at
9 cents per description.
The second bid of the Journal-Press
which was ignored by the com
missioners-was at the rate of Az
cents per description and that propo
sition carried with it the agreement
to print the list in the Daily and
Weekly Journal-Press, the Sank Cen
tire Herald, the Melrose Beacon, the
Albany Tribune, the Paynesville
Press, the Cold Spring Record and
the Richmond Standard.
No honest man in his sane moments
would for a moment claim that the
circulation of the Weekly st. Cloud
Times exceeds or even equals that OF
the papers above mentioned. Yet
the commissioners deliberately voted
to deprive hundreds of taxpayers OF
the county of the privilege of reading
the delinquent tax list, and on top of
that voted to make said taxpayers
pay double price for inferior service.
That's the official record
The st. Cloud Times, in its editorial
columns, laid great stress upon plac-
ing the official printing before the
German citizens of the county through
the medium of Der Nordstern, which
the Times assured the public would
be used in connection with the Daily
and Weekly Times. The official
resolution of the commissioners
awarding the printing of the tax list
promises of it's official organ

AFTER JOHNS JOB
Attorney General Announces Can
didaCy for GovernOrship
ed SAYS III WANTS IT
Appleton Man Makes Formal State
nent and Leaves the Rest to the
Party to Decide

ST. PAUL, Jan. 20.-Attorney Cen
eral Edward r. Young wants TO be
governor of Minnesota.
1t had been suspected all along that
the astute head of the states legal
department had sleeps eyes fixed
on Governor Johns chair.
Now he is out in formal an
ncuncement of his candidacy, the
sum and substance of which is that
if the people want him all they have
to do is to call and he will answer
in the affirmative Along with this
formal advertisement of Mr.. YOung's
gubernatorial aspirations comes the
statement that he will not be a candi-
date for a third term as attorney
general.
Eds announcement clears the poll
tical atmosphere-and then again it
doesn't Things are clarified so far
as Eds aspirations are concerned
But right here things are muddled
again. Governor Johnson and the
attorney general are said to have
been On terms of the closest intimacy
and it has been freely predicted that
if one got in to the game for the
governOrship the other would stay
out Within the past few days it
has been said-sub rOsa--that the
pleasant relations heretofore exist
ing between the officials have been
strained of late, and now that Ed
has SHE'D his castor into the ring, he
means war to the finish against his
brother official across the way.
What effect Eds candidacy will
have on the Jacobson boom is a prob
lem still to be solved. There are
likely to be several other entries
soon. Mr.. -Young's announcement
follows:
1.-The question of the personnel of
the next republican state ticket has
for some time been the subject Of
great interest and general discussion
My name has frequently been NEIL
toned as candidate for governor
or for reelection to the office of at
tCrney general My friends and the
public generally are entitled to know
my position, especially as to the Of
flee | now hold. After mature re-
Election | have concluded not to be
candidate for reelection at attOrn-
CIV general, but | will be candidate
for the republican nomination for
governor.
The rank and file should be left
free to choose between the many who
are qualified to lead the party. 1t is
to the credit of all that no one has
been thus far pushing himself for
the place.
81 have neither the time to take
from my duties, nor the desire to
make a campaign for the nomination,
nor is my candidacy to be taken as
unfriendly to that of any other as
pirant Let the people decide whom
they want, and the delegates, when
fairly chosen, can then easily settle
the matter Any candidate so chOs-
ell will have my support.
II have no special claims upon the
office, and only desire to say that if
chosen | would represent no special

While Officer Becker was patroling
on his beat he noticed that someone

found a tall man behind the counter.
A tussle followed, and officer Becker
dragged the man to the street. Two

Fr. Art Gives Pen Picture of a
Visit to the WOr!d-Famsd Dwell

f'r Arts letter this week gives al
Interesting account of the celebrated
monastery Of Mar Saba He writes
as follows:
and started for the famous monastery
of st. Saba, or as it is called in the
language of the country, Mar Saba
The monastery of Mar Saba lies III
The desert tn the southeast three
hours ride from Jerusalem. We did
not fake the direct road for Mar Saba
but tset off almost directly southwark
TO see the desert We passed at
some distance to the west the unim-
portant village of Su Bahir, and af-
ter an hours ride We came in full
view of Bethlehem situated ON the
hill over to the westward Soon We
entered the mountains of the desert
ard stopped on the summit of one of
the mountains to view the land. The
view is picturesque but wild and des-
olate. To the eastward in a deep
valley lies the blue surface of the
Dead sea lying in the midst of death.
The reflection of its calm surface cast
a blue light over upon the long range
OF the mountains of Moab which form
q nigh, irregular wall along the east
EN- border of the valley of the Jor-
dan.
In all directions the view stretches
out over mountains and vOiceless soil
tude. The mountains are not in
chains, but rise in wild and irregular
confusion, and the narrow valleys
wind about and cross each other in
every direction. A few wandering
tribes of Bedawin pasture their goats
On the hills and raise a little grain
in the valleys and on the gentler
slopes. They pitch their tents in the
valleys in the winter and seek the
higher altitude in the hot season. All
the Bedawin are ruled by chiefs call
the land among the members of the
tribe and rule over them.
BY far the greater part of the des-
ert is bare sand and rock. In this
southern desert the rock are
not prominent feature. Many
of the mountains are of sand
and s&fT, crumbly stone. They re-
semble gigantic heaps of sifted ashes.
One can form a good idea of the land
by imagining that a mighty primeval
wind had blown sand and soft rocks
into gigantic drifts.
At the border of the desert We came
10 the tomb of MUSLIN Fagmis. The
term Fagmir signifies poor, and is
applied to these Muslin monks who
proft SIS remuneration of all earthly
things. Tradition says that this
wanderer came up from Egypt to
this spot and here died. They buried
him in the desert and erected a tomb
over him under a small dome of
stone. There is a watchman always
a. the grave and every year Muslims
come here and perform acts of their
wild religious cult in his honor. ROM,
about and over the tomb were hung
dirty bits of cloth which had been
offered to the Fagmir as vOtive Of
ferings. Out here in the desert we
found a few ruins of an old Christian
monastery, but it's history no man
knows.
Our way was mountain path wind
ing over mountain, along the side of
precipice, and through deep valleys.
Al intervals we asked the way of the
shepherds on the mountains. At
times jackal would dart across the

Tho Porcelain Secret.

The porcelain industry OF Germany
is comparatively young, says the Berlin
Morgen Post. and Its development was
rapid. Although 1t Is generally believed
that the Chinese kept their processes
Of manufacture secret, Julian's transla-
tlons of their voluminous encyclopedia
show that this Is not true. All who
could have read the work might have
known also the porcelain secret. But
evidently no German fathomed the me-
chanical mystery until the apothecary's 3
apprentice Boettgar. 200 years ago,
made the first German porcelain at
Dresden. Some years before he had
attracted attention by proclaiming the
discovery of method Of changing
base metal into gold. King Frederick
|. gave him orders for the precious
metal, which the sixteen-year-old In,
yeutor could not execute, and In fear
he fed to Dresden and became a sub
ject of King August the Strong. While
endeavoring to make gold he discover
ed the porcelain secret and inscribed
his door thus; Into a potter was
changed by Almighty God man who
thought he could make gold"
