Cherry shrugged her shoulders and
showed her white teeth In a smile.
"Mr. Marsh anticipates slightly.

Marsh started to speak, but Mildred

intently. was before him.

Mildred could have done murder at
the expression she saw In Cherry's
face. The woman she had scorned had
BUNDLED her in earnest. With flash

'Since you were so prompt In an

Good God! What a scandal IL this

Bushel TAKERS" tonnage tax

must be suppressed. This is certain.
This comes forcibly to us when we
consider the effects of such law.
The farmers i'll the southern part
of the state are as mad as hornets
over the bushel tax which is levied
on the same principle as the ton
mage tax would have been. Min
neapolis formerly taxed the eleya-
tors 100000 and now under the
bushel tax" law gets SIS, 900.
Yet these same farmers, goaded On
by Heatwole and few disgruntled
politicians would be tickled to
saddle a tonnage tax on the north
ern part of the state.

WHILE Ely has the highest tax
rate of any city in the county tn IS
year, the taxes will probably not be
higher than las.year. In explain
alton it is stated by the municipal
authorities that the valuations on
the mining properties here having
been decreased about a million and
a half, the valuations on residence
and other property was decreased
to correspond. This raised the
rate but in the end will work oft
all right. The city is now out of
debt, practically, and has smooth
sailing for needed improvements
this year.

DID it ever occur to You that a
man S life is full of trouble ard
temptations? He comes into the
world without his consent and goes
out against his will and the trip
between is exceedingly rough
The rule of contraries is one Of
the features of this trip When
he is little the big girls kiss him;
when he is big little girls kiss him.
If he is poor he is a bad manager;
if he is rich he is dishonest. If ne
needs credit he can get it; if he is
prosperous everyone wants to do
him favor. Tell a man you like
him and he is suspicious; tell him
you don't like him and he is sore.
If he is in politics it is for graft; if
he is out of politics he is bad
citizen. If he DOESN'T give 10
charity he is stingy; if he does give
its for show. If he is religious lie
is hypocrite; if he is not religious
he's tabood. If he shows affection
he's a soft specimen; if he cares for
no one but himself he IS cold
blooded. If he dies young there was
a great future before him; if he lives
to an old age he missed his calling.
If you save money you're pig;
if you spend it you re spendthrift:
if you get it you're CRATER; if you
don't get it you're fool. So
what's the use?

SOME 800 men are employed in
Duluth at present on the steel plant
railroad. Another month will see
a force of over 1000 at work on
the railroad and bridge. The
attention of some law makers IN
the southern part of the state is
called to this fact. 1t is also we'll
to again recall to their minds the
undisputable fact that it is not
alone their particular township or
county that has made Minnesota
the most famous state in the Union.
Watch the northern end grow.
Give us re-apportionlnent and a
square deal and we will take care
of ourselves in good shape besides,
as we are now doing, about two
thirds of the counties in the south

MIXED UP
Is the Lake-St. Louis COun-
ty Situation

The officials of Lake County
have taken notice since the first of
the year or since County Auditor
Halden of this county has placed a
strip of land supposed to be in
Lake County on the St. Louis
county tax list.
When the MINER first gave the
news of the action of the school
board of this district requesting
the county auditor to take the
necessary steps, the officials of
Lake county laughed at the idea
and figured it bit of joke on our
part. Since then they have dis
covered that a little one horse
school district as they termed it,
could cut little more than a four
horse swath and that resolution to
the auditor was not meant as a
bluff but was a scheme to get what
belonged to the district and taken
therefrom by an illegal action.
Lake County is now taking
notice.
The Two Harbors Journal-News
in commenting on the matter says
the following:
Duluth has so justly earned the
distinction of hogging everything
in sight, that it comes as no surprise
to the residents of Lake county that
a move has been started to acquire
strip of land one mile wide along
the whole western border of our
county by the officials of St. Louis
county. The term of officials of
St. Louis county" is misnomer,
for in reality this means the officials
of Duluth.
When Lake county was set
aside from St. Louis county the
western line of the county was
fixed at the mouth of the Knife
River. Later it was found that
this river was constantly changing
its channel and it was not a de-
pendable boundary mark. There
fore in 1894 the state legislature
passed a special act fixing the
boundary line between ranges IL
and 12.
When this proposition to per-
manently establish the boundary
line came before the legislature
Lake county had no representative
and the special act was introduced
by a representative of St. Louis
county and with the consent and
support of that county's delegation
the bill was passed and became a
law.
Now, after sixteen years, it has
been discovered that a valuable
mine is located on this strip of land
on the western boundary of orr
county. Duluth and St. Louis
county proposes to set aside this
legislative act as unconstitution al
and make grab for the property
that promises to be revenue pro-
Queer, on technica1ity.
If Duluth and St. Louis County,
persists in its claim and the matter
is brought before the courts it will
prove difficult problem to produce
witnesses to locate the original
boundary line.

stead of re-reserving them, went
with the understanding that the
old reservation would do for the
new number, thereby causing a
little confusion.
