while the gross income in payment of
the finished product is brought in from

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
FILES DECISIONS IN GROSS
EARNINGS CASES.
JUSTICE HARLAN READS DECISION
$4,000 To Be Paid Into State Treas
ury-Great Northern and Great
Western Are Railroads Which
Must Settle Deficit.

Washington, D. C. The state OF
Minnesota won a complete victory
over the Great Northern and Great
Western Railway companies when the
supreme court of the United States al
firmed the decision of the state court
holding that the railroads were liable
to a 4 per cent gross earnings tax
AS a result of decisions by the

per cent gross earnings tax cases,

ed against the Great Northern and

ments are the largest ever obtained by
the state.
The decision was announced by JUS

tions at issue very briefly. He
sketched the creation of the Western
Pacific road, which subsequently be-
came a part of the Great Northern
system, the legislatation under which
the road was taxed and the claim OF
the Great Northern that this legisla-

state, under which the rate of taxa

vided in the 4 per cent law.

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty Of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began US
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil l was
very ill most of the time. About four
years ago I left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me-
"Then 1 changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. I lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day I gained IN flesh and strength
tirely disappeared and I feel that
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 73 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa-
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time, but after he tried
Postum for a few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.

has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be-
cause they have had such good results
from it."

STEEL TRUST WILL PUSH MINING
From 100000 to 100000 Tons to Be
Taken Out In 1910.

New York, N. Y The United
States Steel corporation will begin
taking out ore from its Great North
ern ore properties this year on large
scale. Since the execution of the case
with the Great Northern trustees min
ing operations of the steel corporation
on properties have been confined to
stripping and development work.
Some ore has been taken out, but
the amount has not been consequent
ial. About 100000, 900 tons have been
located. Preparatory work has now
proceeded far enough, to begin actual
work of taking out ore in substantial
amounts and beginning shipments.
A high official of the corporation
stated that he expected that from
100000 to 100000 tons would be
taken out in 1910, and that rapid pro-
gress would be made thenceforth.
Shipments of 100000 tons this
year will be twice the amount of the
increase on which the corporation will
have to pay royalties in 1910.
1t will be recalled that under terms
Of teh lease, royalties were to be paid
by the corporation on basis of
100000 tons mined and shipped in
1908 and on an additional 100000 tons
year thereafter.
On Dee. 81, 1909, the corporation
was therefore 2,25O,OOO tons behind in
it's shipments.
Other things being equal, it would
be to the advantage of the United
States Steel corporation to mine the
maximum amount of ore from the
Great Northern fields each year, as
the sliding price scale in course Of
time would make considerable differ.
ence in the gross amount which the
corporation would have to pay for
material.
According to the stipulation of the
lease the maximum amount which can
be mined in any one year is S,250,00O
tons.
This would be reached in 1917 under
the minimum scale by which there is
to be an annual increase of 100000
tons in the amount of ore taken out.
There is nothing to prevent the cor
poration from taking out the max
imum amount of 8,250,000 tons in any
one year if it wishes to do so.
Ore to be mined from this tract dur
ing the current year will cost the
United States Steel corporation SITS
per ton delivered at the docks at Lake
Superior
1t was provided that beginning with
1907 the rate should be $1.65 a ton at
Lake Superior docks, increasing "a C
per ton annually thereafter so that
the 1910 output will cost the United
States Steel corporation 1860 per ton
more than it would have cost in 1907.
Of the gross price soc per ton goes
to the Great Northern Railway COM
pany, representing the freight charges
for shipping the ore from the mines
to the docks.
