MINI. STATE TAX
LOWER NEXT YEAR
DECREASE DUE TO THE WIPlNG
OUT OF THE FAMOUS "PoRK
BARREL" BILL.

ST. Paul, Sept. 2s-The state tax
collectible for 1910 will be ESQ mills
This is against 3.33 for the present
year.
Notices to this effect were today
sent to the various county auditors of
the state by State Auditor S. G. Iver-
son. They were directed TO levy and
extend the same upon all personal and
real property in their respective divis-
ions.
The drop in the levy is due to the
wiping out OF the 100000 road and
bridge fund known as the pork bar
rel" and the increase in the personal
valuation of the state by the state
tax commission. The funding tax of
last year is also eliminated.
The tax is distributed as follows:
State revenue fund. .......... .001
Soldiers relief fund. ....... .001
State road and bridge fund. -. .OOO05
University Campus fund $500. .0017
Prison building fund ..... .00025
State school tax ........ 1.23
One of the new items this year is
the levy for the prison building fund.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Sept. ga larger short
interest exists In September wheat
than the trade has had any idea of.
There were many wild stories around
about the size of the holdings Of an
eastern SPECTATOR, one Of the stories
last night being that he held 100000
bushels Of September, but the best
information gathered among those who
know about the actual holdings said
that they were less than a million
bushels and the same party who had
the largest line OF September here has
nearly 500. 900 bushels bought In New
York and reports from the latter city
said that Armour would deliver the
cash wheat on the September sales
there ina day or SO.
1t was the gossip among the wheat
professionals last night that while the
southwestern situation remains bull
ish, prices have had a fair advance and
with December 81 conservative traders
were advising caution in loading upon

breaks they regarded It safe to buy

Working on Cement Plant

Contractor Sylvester, who was award
ed the contract for constructing the
fume, reservoir and other work for the
Inland Portland Cement Co.'s new
plant at Metaline, has about 60 men at
work at the present time. Nearly 80
acres of the reservoir site have been
cleared and the brush and waste burned
The sawmill that he constructed will be
operated in few days and then the
actual work of constructing the fume
will be started. Mr.. Sylvester has had
large contracts in the vicinity of Spo-
kane during the past few years for the
construction of power plants. Among
other jobs was the big Nine Mile dam on
the Spokane river.
The work to date has been hampered
somewhat by the scarcity of labor and
some slight labor troubles at the various
camps along the line of the proposed
fiume.

THE CITY MUST ACT.

The sewerage project is by far the
most important matter demanding
the attention of Brownsville today
'Oldtimer, in yesterdays Herald
makes a suggestion in connection
with this subject which is well worth
considering. That is, that. in the
event that the citizens fail to raise
the money to finance the project. the
city should lease the franchise to a
company that will build it. This is
not an unheard of thing. Other cities
have done likewise, and have made
it a ego" A sewer plant is profit
able thing. 1t would be very easy
to interest capital in it. The Herald
believes, of course, that the city
should by all means own the sewer
age system. as it owns the water and
light plant Owning the water, it
could naturally operate the sewer
plant to better advantage than could
any company that would have to buy
the water. But, if the city cannot af-
ford to undertake such improvements
then we should delay no longer in OBJ
tanning outside help to do it. The
plan of the citizens who have been
endeavoring to raise subscriptions
for the construction of the sewerage
system is along this line-that is,
10 secure the franchise from the city,
with the distinct understanding that
within a certain term of years, The
city may buy the plant at cost. With
the money pledged by the leading
ocl1dzens and property owners, the
construction of the plant within a
reasonable time after the franchise
shall be granted is assured. 1t only
remains therefore to raise the money
and put the project through. If.
however. the matter is going to hang
fire indefinitely, The Herald sincere
~ hopes that the city council may
take a hand and not permit any
further delay to retard the acqui-
sition by Brownsville of the sewerage
system. An advertisement or two in
some of the leading trade or indus
trial Journals of the East would soon
bring to the city offers of capital for
the building of sewers or any other
public improvements, and plans
which would insure the construction
of the best and most modern plant
for the least money would be as
easily available. The city council
should not wait longer to make
move in this vitality important mat
ter. The citizens who have been
struggling to get the move definitely
on foot have but one object in view
That is. to secure a sewer system for
the city. They do not expect to make
more than moderate profit on the
4nvestment-no more than they could
easily make by putting their money
out at interest. They are doing this
work for love of the town, in order
10 promote the general welfare. If
they fail. they would be only too glad
to have the council take the matter
of their hands and push it to sue
cessful conclusion. Therefore the
council should prepare itself to deal
with the subject effectively, without
loss of time.

DR.. Cooks Records Sent to Uni.

New York, Nov. 25.-Among the
passengers on the Scandinavian
American liner United States, sailing
from New York today, was a special
messenger bearing the polar records
OF DR.. Frederick A. Cook to Copenha-
gen. In addition to the original data,
DR.. Cook is sending an analysis which.
he hopes, will render it unnecessary
for him to appear personally before
the experts of the University OF Co.
penhagen, who will pass upon his
claims OF the discovery of the North
Pole. In regard to the matter, DR..
Cook said:
The object of accompanying my
original field books with a compre-
hensive detail of my Journey to the
pole is to explain all questions which
in my belief, | could explain if | were
personally present before the Danish
scientists. My Gnaltered original field
notes and my instruments, when
recover them, will, of course. be avail.
able for examination by the National
Geographic Society, upon condition
that Commander Peary agrees to
submit his original data and instru.
ments for examination at the Uni.
versity OF Copenhagen.
IAN expedition will be organized
to go to Greenland next spring fol-

me to the pole and to recover the in.
