AVIATOR MCCOY
GOING SOME

Aviator McGoey, who absolute
ly refused to "go' at the St.
Louis county fair at Hibbing and
who has been guilty Of like stunts
at various places since, has been
making a record for himself at
the head of the lakes the past
week, and has weakened the opin-
ion held by many that a man
could walk on the water with
pair of snow:shoes just as effec-
tually as Mccoy could make his
machine climb off the ground.
But it will take a great deal of
persuasion to make many who Wis.,
tied the county fair with a view
to seeing the bird-man fly believe
that he is not a four-fusher of the
most approved type, as he posi-
lively refused after the first two
unsuccessful attempts to go on
with his show, although he was
content to rake in the dimes of
the curious for a peep at the ma
chine.

WOULD ORGANIZE
RANGE PRINTERS

John D. Chubbuck, special or
ganizer Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, has been on tie
range this week looking after the
organization Of the range print
ers, and on Sunday next a meet
ing Of the range craft will be held
at the European Hotel in this
city for the purpose Of formally
perfecting such organization. MIR.
Chubbuck explains that in case
Of organization it would include
the range towns under one label.
Such a move will receive the en-
dorsement of those of the range
newspaper men who have at
tempted to use labor half way
right, paying time and a half for
over time, but will likely meet
with some objection on the part
of that element which has rat
ted it's workmen and compelled
night and Sunday work in addi-
ton to regular time in order to
hold a job.

NINE VALUES WILL
Be INCREASED
Mining Men Confer With State
Tax Commission as to Probable
Valuations. Expected About
Ten Millions Will Be Add
ed to Last Years Figures

At a result Of additional mine
developments in St. Louis, 1tas-
ca and Lake counties during the
past year it is probable the mine
valuations Of this rich ore section
will be increased by the state tax
commission by $10,000,000 or
thereabouts.
This course was practically de-
cided upon by the commission at
a meeting held at the state capt.
toll on Tuesday, at which a num-
Der Of mining men were in at
tendance. There was little OBJ
lection to the increases proposed,
although in some cases the COM
mission apparently had mistaken
ideas Of the status Of certain
properties.
Last year the commission made
a sweeping arbitrary increase on
all mine valuations of 5 per cent,
but the present year the assess
ments were permitted to stand.
On May 1st of each year the CON-
panies file statement Of the gen.
eral conditions Of their properties,
which statements are verified by
the commission, it's final adjudi-
cation of assessments being based
on it's findings. The increase the
present year affects only new de-
velopment work, and in but few
cases was the development over
estimated.
Among the mining men in at
tendance at the conference were
H. F. Kendall, of the New York
State Steel Co., C. E. Moore, of
the Ruddy Mining Company, F.
j. Webb, Of the Republic Iron &
Steel Co., L. c. Harris, Section 80,
William Wearne, Indiana Steel
Co., j: A. Savage, Shenango Fur
mace Co., j. Uno Sebenius and
Werner Pressentin of the Oliver
Iron Mining Co., and L. L. Will
cox, Of the Republic Iron & Steel
Co.
