Rev. Schiffrer has had charge OF

him much success in his new field.
He was accompanied as far as
Tower by Rev. Father Buh and
three of his young friends, Ger

Vincent F. Habian. The farewell
given when the train pulled out
was demonstration and showed the
high esteem in which Rev. Schiffrer

TAPS SOUNDED
Aged Civil War Veteran
Passes Away

James H. Felt, father of Mrs.
las. Moonan, who with Mrs. Felt
has made his home at the Moonan
residence since last fall, died Sun,
day of paralysis. His demise is re.
GREETED by a large circle of friends,
who, during his visits here, had be,
come attached to the kindly old
gentleman
lanes H. Felt was born in Shen-
ango County, New York, II years
ago, his ancestors being English
While young man his parents re.
moved to and settled in Iowa where
young Felt enlisted and fought
two years in the Civil War. He
was shot through the leg and II
years ago the leg was amputated
Two years later his other limb was
taken off. Since that time he has
made his way about by means OF a
rolling chair. After the war he
settled in Clear Lake, Iowa, where
he was married to Sarah Ann
Houk, AZ years ago. He also lived
in the Black Hills, Dakota, Duluth
and Minneapolis and two years age
went to Portland, Ore. Last fall
he returned to Ely and has made
his home here since.
The widow and her only two
children, Fred Felt, of Minneapolis,
and Mrs. Jas. Moonan, OF this city,
survive him. The remains were
prepared for burial by Undertaken
Fenske and Tuesday morning were
taken to Duluth where they were
placed in a vault, later to be inter
red, in all probability, in Clear
Lake, Iowa. The surviving family
accompanied them to Duluth, re-
turning Wednesday evening, &C
companied by Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Felt.

Pay Your Taxes

Tomorrow is the last day for pay
ing personal property taxes. On
the first of March a penalty of 10
per cent will be added and on April
Is, the account will be placed in
the hands of the sheriff for collec-
ton.
Real estate taxes for 1908 are due
and may be paid in two equal in
stallnents, one half on the last day
of May and the other half by the
last day of October. If one half is
not paid by May 31st ten per cent
penalty will be attached to the
whole tax. Ten per cent penalty
will also be added to the second
half if not paid by October 31st.

hasten the construction of the
plant. The steel plant will not
only boom Duluth, but add value
to all lands within a hundred and
fifty miles of that city. 1t will
mean prosperity for Duluth and all
tributary territory. And it will
help the entire state of Minnesota.
Minnesota wants all the manufact-
uring plants it can get. l am in
favor of this talked-of Armour
plant for Minneapolis; and even
though St. Paul doesn't like it, I'd
favor it if the plant were to be To-
Gated on Summit avenue. If you
don't like its smell, down here,
move it up to Our country; we'll
be glad to get it.
i believe that this Legislature is
made up of a lot of good men; and
that they want to do what is right
and just. We only ask the same
fair treatment for northeastern
Minnesota that the rest of the state
gets. I do not believe that simply
because you have the power to i'm
pose this tonnage tax, that you
will do it. Might does not make
right, though it did in the dark
ages. 1t is excellent to have
giants strength, but it is tyranny
to use it like giant. Gentlemen,
1 thank you.

already in progress by various
avowed candidates. So far definite
announcements have been made by
Judge Osborne and Thos. Jury for

Landlord Cox, of the Exchange
claims he will be compelled to close
his dining room unless change is
made. The time between trains at
noon is such that the travelling man
can do his work and get out at 3
o'clock. They have their meal on
the car coming UP and thus the ho-

will be made to have the evening

all expensive high school building
and its maintenance. But the diff
ference is Our own concern and not
the states business. Because OF
the high assessment of the mining
properties, the local rate where they
are located is necessarily low, but
it is no reason for the state to de-
mand heavier rate"
Mr.. Dunn called attention to the
fact that in the northern Minnesota
counties are located the bulk of the
state land grants-the swamp lands
and the railroad lands, And these
vast areas are not taxable. That
this makes the question of local
taxation very serious in certain
parts of the northern counties and
the districts are some of them un-
able to maintain schools. The
Legislature in all fairness should
permit these counties, with so little
property to assess, the right to as
sess and collect the taxes from the
iron mines that their schools may
be kept up and their roads and
bridges built.
Mr.. Dunn stated he had read the
report of the tax commission very
carefully; and that he could only
agree with Mr.. Hall and not the
other two members. The report
asserts that in so or 100 years the
mines will be only holes in the
ground and not taxable.
If this is true, said Mr.. Dunn,
why not permit these northern
counties to prepare now in their
taxation matters, for the coming of
the evil days. Not only will the
mines be non assessable in years to
come, when the ore is gone, but
you must remember that in the
north we have not the general rich
land of southern Minnesota, al
though we have our garden spots.
Twenty per cent of the land in
northern Minnesota will not be un-
der cultivation in 200 years. These
counties need all the dollars they
can get now by taxation, need it
badly
The reason of demanding the
tonnage tax, explained Mr.. Dunn,
seems to be the belief that with the
iron mines paying more, other peo-
pie in the central and southern
part of the state will pay less taxes
accordingly. Mr.. Dunn asserted
tnat history proves that the IN
crease of tax income by direct tax
alton methods, does not decrease
the amount to be raised by direct
levy; that the more money there is
raised by indirect methods. such as
a tonnage tax the more money
state spends.
l believe Duluth will have a
steel plant said Mr.. Dunn, that
will cost $40, 900, 900 to SIS, OoO,-
900 and employ 10000 to $1,000
hands. But if the state is going to
establish all unfair tax and discrim-
mate against it, l believe the COM
pletion of the plant will take long
time. / favor such action as will
