COMMISSIONERS AbA7F
|LDEVEDSFN'S TAXES
Propritor of the Great NorehosW
Hotel has Taxes Reduced 70 ExAe01
Of $325.7a-others May Ash ~
Same Consideration. .

The county commissioners aba&0A
the taxes of Peter and Rakel Ildvo1-
sen, owners of the Great NortheFa
hotel, located on lots 13, IA and u q
block 4, original townsite OF the caty
of Minot, for the years 1909 and mo
10 the extent of $325.73,
Mr.. lldvedsen claimed that his 1eo-
perty was assessed higher than stAss
property in that locality.
The entire board was in session a&
time that Com. Hurd moved that th0
taxes be stated according to the
above figures, and Com. Jens Gleia
seconded the motion. All commit
sioners excepting Olaf LokenaGaSA
voted in favor OF the motion.
The commissioners have s pse4ose
right to abate taxes on property IN
whole or in part, il they co1sidsg
that they are unjust or illegal. h
their judgment is good in the above IA
stance, they are entirely within the
law. Mr.. Ildvedsen could have aD-
peared before the board of eQuAliSa-
ton in July, but he did not do 70.
He claims that he has paid excessive
taxes for years, upon the property. but
that he did not care as long a. no was
doing a good business.
Ildvedsen's 1909 taxes were abat>d
70 the extent of $165.79 while the 1910
taxes We're abated s159. "a.
Ildvedsen's 1910 taxes were origin
ally $4S5.96, but were abated 10
1926 .02.
The county commissioners ought
to know what his property is worth,
as several of them have made the
Great Northern hotel their headquart-
ers while in the city for some time.
The Independent suggests that 4
there are any other tax payers In the
county who believe that their taxes
are excessive, they might appear -
fore the honorable board and ask that
justice be done If Mr. Ildvedsen en-
have his taxes abated, there are NO
doubt others who should receive the
same consideration, providing thag
can put forth arguments as conv1ns-
ing as those Of Mr.. Ildvedsen.

SEVEN SCANDINAVIAN
MINISTERS IN N|N0T
Sturdy Sons Of the Northland Take
Prominent Part in Religious Affairs
OF the city-AIl OF our ministers
Product Of the old World.

It is a rather interesting fact that
just seven of Minot's ministers are
of Scandinavian birth. The good
people of the land of the mid night
sun" have ever taken great interest
in affairs of q religious nature and
it ID rather . strange coincidence that
every one of Minot's nine minister's
have the blood Of the old world flow
ing thru their veins.
The Scandinavian ministers now
in charge of the Minot churches are:
Rev. N. A. Larsen, First Lutheran
church.
Rev. Mr.. synness, United church.
Rev. Nicolay Nilsen, Zion Lutheran
Rev. o. T. Nelson. Haugee Synod.
Rev. T. A. Olsen, Methodist
church. .....
Rev. Mr.. Erickson, Presbyterian
church.
A Swedish minister constitutes the
seventh Scandinavian minister in
Minot. He has received call here
and will be with u in July.
Rev. Jos. Raith. Of St. Leo's
Catholic church was born In Germany
while Rev. Mr.. Cowan. the "wee
meenester" in charge Of tile Episcopal
church was born in the land OF the
heather.
Rev. ]. M. Sutherland Of the Con-
gregational church, 10 from good,
sturdy Scotch stock, also.
Minot's ministers are all right.

Many APPLY FOR
SEED AND FEED
Up to Wednesday, Just 12s AppIt-
cations had been Received at the
Auditors Ohice-Number Will Pro-
badly Reach 500.

Just 1923 seed grain and feed appu-
cations had been received by the
county auditor up to Wednesday, Feb.
Is. The applications are coming In
quite fast and the number will run
up to 500 or more. The applicants
have until March /, to put In the app
ncations, though It is well to not
delay the matter at al.
Most of the applications come from
south of Minot, from the Douglas
and Ryder countries, though some
come from east and west OF the city.
Very few applications have been re-
cefved from north OF the city. The
crops last year were no better on the
average in one locality than in any
other, but some localities have been
settled UP longer than others and in
consequence the farmers are in better
shape financially, therefore do not
need to ask assistance from the
county. .-
The limit for seed IL $50 bushels
Of wheat, or tho equivalent In various
kinds of seed. There Is no Am1t on
feed-the commissioners viii allow
what they think 10 necessary. The
amount Of feed will run from IS to
100 bushels generally.
The commissioners have not fully
decided whether the county win pur-
chase seed and feed and distribute
among farmers, or not, but It IL likely
that warrants viii be issued and the
farmers be allowed to buy their grain
from the local elevators.
You can secure application blanks
from your local banker.
