Safety valves have been placed all along the top

larger boys of the class. On returning
home his mother questioned him in re-

child in a frank way, replied: ooh,
mamma, it was all about God and love
and a lady named Eve, and how she
gave an apple to a man called Adam,

explosions took the lives of 700 men,
one of them-at the Monongah mine

mining disaster in the history of this
country. There were 356 victims.
During 1908, there were but two acct

very heavy; one in January at the
Hanna mine, in Wyoming, with a loss
of 70 men; the other, November 2S,
at the Mariannam mine in Pennsylvania,

Along with establishment of this station and

Tax Commission Visits wilma,

j. G. Armson of Saltwater,
member of the Minnesota Tax Com
mission, was a courthouse visitor
yesterday. The tax commission has
just started on a trip which will
include one half of the county seats
of the state, and they are endeavor-
ing to come in closer touch with
the county auditors in order to Sc
cure information regarding the
workings of the present taxation
laws, and also receive suggestions
regarding changes and improve
ments which may tend toward bet-
ter and more accurate assessments,
which again will mean a more
equitable distribution of the bur-
den of taxation.
One of the important things at
present considered by the commls-
sion is the advisability of recon-
mending to the legislature a law
permitting the appointment of
county assessors who are to devote
all their time to the work, receive
a reasonable salary, work under the
direction Of the commission, aided
by special deputies. The present
system Of town assessors has a good
many defects, and the commission
is inclined to think that the new
scheme proposed would prove more
satisfactory.
