Warm WEATHER TO BE THE
RULE.

Warm summerlile winters that will
soon transform the Northwest into
a southern paradise, is to be the COM
mon occurrence from now on accord
ing to Weather Observer Cowdick.
While residents of this section are
surprised at the mild weather which
is bringing forth buds on shrubbery
that in years past was buried under
the snow while the temperature ragged
around the zero mark at this date,
Mr.. Cowdick is not at all astonished,
and he claims that he has solved the
puzzling phenomenon.
'In years to come cold weather,
rather than warm, will be condition
to marvel at during this time of the
year," he said. "Next winter and
the one after that for many years to
come will be mild"
The observer bases his deduction
on the fact, now generally conceded,
that the Japanese current, which for
ages has given Alaska and the Ca
madam northwest a temperate eli
mate, has become diverted by vol
canic disturbances in the Aleutian
islands. He says that the high baro-
metric area to which can be traced
the weather conditions in this lati-
tude has been found in Alaska I'M
til lately, when it has been discovered
in the latitude of Puget Sound, which
would indicate warmer weather for
this section of the United States
, Mt. Lake View.

ARE HELD TO Be TAXABLE
Memberships in Exchanges Declared
to Be Personal Property by the
State Supreme Court

Memberships in the Duluth board
Of trade and Minneapolis chamber OF
commerce are held taxable sin, a. deci-
sion by the state supreme court. This
settles continued agitation of several
months in the two cities and is OF
great importance to the hundreds of
members.
This is the first time in the United
States that such decision has been
given. The appellant in the case, S.
A. McPhail, member OF the Duluth
board of trade, asserted that all de-
cisions had been against taxing such
property. The court holds that this
statement is too broad, that the the
Dry Of such decisions has not been
against taxation, but admits that men,
berships in trade organizations never
have been taxed $50
The only question to consider, the
court says, is whether memberships
are personal property. In this con.
nection it holds they can be bought
and sold, have recognized fluctuating
value, are accepted by banks as col
lateral and can be transferred by will
or descent. The Duluth memberships
are found to have been worth $4,000,
and applying all these tests the court
finds memberships are personal prop
erty and therefore taxable.

Road improvements in Nicollei Co.

Nicollct county will have approx
mately $4,000 to spend for the i'm
provement and betterment Of it's
state highways during the coming
year. This county's share of the
money raised by the Dunn / mill
road tax, together with the appropri-
atoms required by that law, will give
a fund of about $4,000. OF this
amount $4,000 must be set aside for
maintenance, and the first payments
on the two Elwell roads laid out last
year will amount to $4,000.
That they might get in touch with
road sentiment in all parts of the
county the commissioners last week
called conference of the chairman
OF tl,e various town boards. It was
held in the court house last Thurs
day ,aan Of the townships represented
with the exception Of Bernadotte
ami CORTLAND. In several instances
tho entire town board attended the
meeting, which was the first of it's
kind ever held in the county.
C. H. jackson, chairman Of the
county board, proposed that a def
mite road program be adopted. He
favored expanding sufficient sum to
fully complete one road year, be-
Lowing that a plan of this kind would
work out most advantageously. The
township representatives, however,
asked that appropriations be set
aside for work on three different
state roads, and the tentative plan
agreed upon was as follows: -
State Road No. -

later
Although Colonel Roosevelt has said he
would not accept the nomination he adj

He is reluctant to make the fight, both
on account of the condition of his health
and the bearing which defeat might
have on the Progressive party at large.
