Cardosa was supposed to have operat-

At the congress of Scandinavian
dentists, in session in Christiania, DR..
Hansen, a youthful Norwegian dentist,
announced that he had succeeded in
discovering the bacillus of pyorrhea
alveolaris, which causes the loss of
teeth. His colleagues assert that Han
sens discovery is epochal in the sci
ence of dentistry.

$1.35 for five years and $161 for the
next fifteen years. The farmer liv-
ing on the road would have to pay a
little more and the farmer two miles
back a little less.
In the town of Grant Valley, the
average assessed value of a forty is
$1.60. The Dunn amendment then
increases the state tax on this forty
from $.04 to SIS per year. The
proportionate cost of the Duluth-St.
Vincent road is the same so that to
the Grant Valley farmer who owns
160 acres and lives one mile off the
main road the increase in taxes the
first five years will be SLAB and for
the next fifteen years $1.69.
The road enters the county at the
junction point of sections 81 and 80
town of Frohn, and runs north to the
corner of II, IS, 19 and 20; turns
west to the village of Nymore; fol-
lows the road into Bemidji; runs out

He forced the reduction of the Pull
man berth rates in the LOTUS cases
and saved travellers over $3,000,00O
annually.
He successfully fought the express
companies in the Sundberg cases
which resulted in general reduction
of over fifteen percent and is an an
nual saving to consigners of over
$2O,000,0OO.
He believes in and will work for
the iniative, referendum and recall,

other progressive legislation which
will give the people direct control

Many years ago, in Switzerland. nat
ural rock asphalt was discovered, and
for more than a century it was used
for the purpose Of extracting the rich
stores Of bitumen. it contained. In
time 1t was noticed that pieces Of rock
which fell from the wagons and were
crushed by the wheels formed a mar
velously fine road surface when as
sisted by the heat of the sun. A prop,
er road of asphalt rock was then
made, following upon the discovery,
and in 1854 an experimental roadway
was laid in Paris. From that time the
use of rock asphalt for the making Of
roads and pavements has increased
and extended to many countries.

area that to the one Individual it is
merely a matter of cents.
Many farmers have stated that
they were opposed to the state road
and also the Dunn amendment be-
cause it meant added taxation for
them. The Elwell law provides for
the state roads but the Dunn amen
ment proposes to increase the state
fund for roads from 100000 to
$1,2OO,00O year by increasing the
tax from one-quarter to one mill.
With the Dunn amendment to quad
ruple the state fund, the workers
under the Elwell law can 20 ahead
four times as fast. That is, in a
given year they can build four times
the amount or road.
According to the books in the aud
itor's Office, the average assessed
value of forty acre tract in the town
OF FROM is $140. At present the
owner pays one-fourth of one mill
state road and bridge tax. On such
a forty the tax would be s.O4. The
Dunn amendment proposes to in
crease this tax to one mill which on
such a forty would amount to $.14
per year. The amount on one farm
is SO small that it figures down to
cents.
Granting that the Duluth-St.
Vincent road is built through here
next year and that the Dunn amend
ment passes Tuesday, the average
farmer who lives one mile back from
that road and who owns 160 acres
will have an increase in taxation OF
