Once more the State Tax Commis-
sion has raised valuations. Once mora
the people. are sla ed to bear tie
brunt OF the taxation and the big
railroads escape. Once more Mr.. Link
the land expert OF the Commission,
says to the people OF the State by
his action that nothing but wild cat
valuations in land goes with him.
With Mr.. Link a railroad is in at
full value when it is in at 500 Of
what its stocks and bonds are worth,
but q farm is not at full value until
it is in at 10Oor150% of what some
tendertoot will pay for it. The Tax
Commission allows the railroads to
turn their schedules In on the basis
of their income but the farmer and
the business man are not allowed to
! take their income into consideration
at all. although in other states in
the union they are allowed this pr
vilege, and men OF sense every where
say lands and business propert es
are only worth what they will pay a
reasonable rate OF interest on.
Land which the Tax Commiss' on
and the railroads fight the hardest,
Is now valued by the Tax Commss-
sion, against the hest judgment Of
practically every assessor in the
state, higher than in any other state
in the union that is,like Colorado on
full value. Land like that have as
sessed at $115 per acre is assessed
in Kansas and Nebraska at $50 per
acre, but in the latter state this
valuation is divided by five TO get
the valuation on which taxes are
. based. The richest county in Iowa
values itA lands ON an average OF $85
per acre only. and in the great state
of Illinois. where land sells from
$50 to $500 per acre, land is valued
at $75 to 500 per acre for assess
ment purposes Only in Ohio may We
find valuations placed on land that
approximate the valuations here .and
there the farmers are in open rebel.

TRACY is DRY.

Since last night Tracy is in the "dry"
column.
The action of the Council last Tues
day evening, June 23d, in refusing to
grant license for another year to the
saloon men settled that question for the
year beyond any question of doubt.
The vote stood three against the issuance
of license and the other two not voting.
AT the spring election the ''drys''
received a majority of % votes. But an
error had been made in the petition for
the submission of the question to the
voters and the case was carried to the
District Court. The Court found the
petition illegal and declared the election
void and Of no effect. This gave the
saloons permission to operate until their
licenses expired and put the question Of
operating further up to the Council and
by vote of to that body voted to
abide by the decision as registered by the
voters at the spring election.

held that the heirs are not entitled to the
property of Father With.

nelu CnaC Ine nelrS are not entitled to the
property of Father With.
The main points that were. urged III
behalf OF the heirsswere that the contract
was an executory one, that it was against
public policy and that the Order having
knowingly permitted Father lWirth to
take out the copyrights in his own name
and to retain, use and control this
property, should be barred from claiming
any interest in any thereof. The de.
cision was written by Justice Hughes
and is in part as follows:
Associate Justice Hughes in deciding
in favor Of the order, held that member
ship in the society was voluntary and
that Father Wirth might have with
drawn at any time. He said the books
Father Wirth wrote and sold may have
owed much of their popularity to his
membership.
''We are not concerned" said Justice
Hughes, with any question of &c.
clesiastical requirement. or monastice
discipline, The question is solely one
of civil rights. The claim in suit arose
upon the constitution of the complainant
corporation and the obligation inherent
in membership
After quoting the obligations assumed
by member Of the order, Justice Hughes
said it was clear that Father Wirth was
not entitled to retain for his benefit
either the moneys he received from
churches he served or those from the sale
of his books.
1T was necessary consequence, .
said the justice, ''of his continued mem.
bership that his gains from whatever
source belong to the complainant organi.
cation and that as against the com.
plainant he could not assert title to the
property which he received"
Referring to the argument that the
constitution of the order was against
public policy Justice Hughes said tina,
this disregarded the explicit provision
Oh Cne society as TO voluntary With.
drawal. It overlooked, he said, thai
distinction between civil and ecclesi
astical rights and duties between the
order of St. Benedict of New Jersey anc
monastic brotherhood subject to church
authority.
It may interest Review readers tc

started the only brother and a nephew

State House Is
Well Protected
PIECES OF ORDNANCE BROUGHT
HERE FROM u. S. NAVY
YARDS.

If our old rival Sleepy Eye has any
notion that at some future time she will
descend upon our city in force and carry
away the Court House bodily, she had
best think twice before attempting the
job. These reflections were aroused by
the sight of the monster pieces of ordi4
nance that now guard our state house
and the still more 'monsterous'' ammu-
milton with which the. guns are supplied.
One of the latter, could it be persuaded
into the great gun which it accompanies,
would shatter all hopes of wrestling the
coveted honor from, the grasp of its
present holders and Sleepy Eye or any
other envious municipality must stand
back and content themselves with won
Shipping from afar.
The work of setting the pieces Of
ordnance, four in number, on the Court
House Square at this writing is about
complete. The two siege guns placed at
the North East and South East corners
are mounted on bases of cement. The
bore OF each measures 4 inches. With
these guns are so cannon balls. each
weighing about rs pounds and measuring
8 to 8 inches in diameter. A pyramid bf
rs balls is built up back of the guns and 5
balls are placed handy for loading j,bt
beneath the breech. The guns each
weigh a little over $500 pounds. The
cannon balls were brought from the
Portsmouth, n. H, navy yards and the
guns from Plymouth, N. II.
The other two guns are lighter. carry :
ing ball only one and half inches|in
diameter. They look like enormous
pistols as they have a handle and trigger
at the breech similar in shape to the plip
on revolver. These guns are automatic
one Founders. They were brought from
the Mare Island Navy Yard. The
freight cost Of getting the guns here Was
$233.5O.
Inc small guns are already quite pfc

Later when the industry develops and
more money may be required to operate
it, others than the present owners of the
stock, may be given an opportunity to
purchase some.
1t is claimed for the Jaeger battery
that its recuperating power is superior to
that OF any on the market and that is one
reason why Mr.. Otter thinks that he
will have no trouble to dispose of enough
batteries to make the company profit
able one. It might be stated in passing
that the contracts for batteries are
usually made year ahead of time and
for that reason it is not expected that the
business this year will amount to any,
thing, but it is believed that next year
at least one million batteries will be
manufactured and sold by the home
concern. At the start probably not to
exceed 10 or Is people will find employ
ment, but it is confidently expected that
within few years the business will have
increased to such an extent that in the
neighborhood of $50 people will be
employed.
We will put New Ulm on the map,
was remark Mr.. Otter made at differ
ent times. He is confident that the
business venture will be. success,
because all dry cell factories SO far have
made money. The nearest dry cell
factory to this territory is in Madison,
Wis. When it is considered that the
State OF Minnesota last year used 5
million batteries alone and that batteries
are only short-lived and must be replaced
every so often, there is reason to believe
that this factory should prove financial
success, especially as there is profit of
about 10 cents on each battery over and
above the cost of production.
No. 6 batteries are sold to the jobbers
at this time according to Mr.. Otter at
18 1-2 cents piece wholesale. This is
the same battery for which the consumer
pays the sum of rs cents. The different
items of-expense that go into the manu-
facture Of one No. dry cell battery are
given by the promoters as follows:
manganese LOS cents, graphite GAO,
chemicals 0.66, zinc 2.07, electrolite O.O5,
carbon 100, brass connections O.4O,
miscellaneous 0.5O and factory labor
l.5O, making a total of 1888 cents per dry
cell battery. For the. present one or two
machines will be imported from Germany.
In the space of one hour one of these
machines will turn out between 1000 and
5000 No. s batteries, only 1900 Of the
larger size, No. 8; or 5000 Of the smaller
size for novelty purposes. AS soon as
the matter of the building is settled, Mr..
Otter will busy himself getting contracts,
because in not to exceed 80 days every
thing would be in readiness to turn out
the first batteries from New Ulm's new

PARK. BAND PLANS.

Sunday nights park concert was vel
attended, many being DESTROYS of hearing
the Hunting of the Shark The com.
position was the third number on the
program but an Extra thrown in con-
fused many who could not see the num-
bers posted and the question was oft
repeated, "Have they played that new
composition?" 1t is an assured fact
that the boys will be asked to repeat it
soon. A megaphone announcement
might not be bad idea, in addition to
the placarded numbers. Speculation
as to the nature of the Shark was rife,
many being misled by the Rhine" of the
Ancient Mariner, thinking the Shark
hunting was a part of that old classic.
It may be said that the whole tale is bit
of vivid imagining worked out in music,
the Shark being a creature of fiction
like the trolls and other weird creatures
of fancy.
The next concert will be given Satur-
day evening, July 4th, as the only amuse-
ment provided for the Fourth in New
