John D. a
Poor Man

Poor old John d. Rockefeller. He
feels very poor--once q year-about
the time that the assessor comes
around, and he really feels sorry
for everybody, the assessor as we'll,
He knows that the average assessor
is an overworked fellow. and he has
given strict orders to his various
managers to render them what as
sistance they can. For instance, As
SCISSOR McCutcheon of this city, re-
ceiyed the following letter from the
manager of the Standard Oil Co.,
j. L. Carter, whose headquarters are
at Fargo. 1t is so interesting. and
shows the kindly old fellows con-
siderate way of doing business. that
we publish it below: &s
City Assessor, Minot, N. d. @@.
Dear Sir:-Below find a list Of
personal property owned and in pos
session of the Standard Oil Co. in
your city, April l, 1909. Opposite
.hese items, you will find the valu-
ltion of same. We submit these fig
Tres, in order to assist you in max |
ng your assessment Of our personal |
,rOnorty n
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1909-04-22

You will note that John does not
value his property very high. His
old crow-bait horses are worth
only $50 apiece and the price of oil
evidently has come down--in the old
fellows mind
The assessor is taking the matter
under advisement Last year the
Standard Oil Co. in this city was
assessed at $500. 1t will probably
not go over three or four thousand
this year.

North Pole in Doubt.
President Town Council.


I DR.. Cook and Robert e. Perry both
claim the honor OfdiscOvering the north
pole and flying the first American flag
therefrom. The people IN Delaware,
Maryland and adjoining States have
their doubts as TO which one the honor
really belongs. But no one doubts for
minute that Cubbage's Pure Oakland
Buekwheat Flour is far superior to any
other brand manufactured in the East.
Seventeen years ago Mr. Cubbage began
to make a speciality OF buckwheat -four.
His sales then was only few thousand
pounds a season but by making good
and pure article, his business increased
by leaps and bounds until now his
sales go into hundreds Of thousands Of
pounds. He has the largest and best
equipped buck wheat plantin Delaware.
His sales books and railroad shipping
order book will show that he manufac
lures and cells more buckwheat flour
than any mill in the State, and more
than all other mills combined in Sus-
sex County. These are the results Of
making a good and pure article Of diet.
