IMMENSE LUMBER YIELD
Suburban House From Single
 Sugar Pine.

Washington: The Government has received $99. 40 in settlement for a single sugar pine tree which was cut in trespass in the Stanislaus National Forest, Tn California, and which yielded more than enough actual Ium- Der to build a good-sized subur- ban frame house. The tree sealed 18.933 board and was val ued at $5. .25 per thousand feet.
 Not many trees contain enough lumber to build a two-foot board walk nearly two miles long, and this is believed to be the first case on record in which a single tree felled in a National Forest was valued at almost S100 on the stump, although National Forest timber is frequently sold at considerably higher rates.

biggest village on earth is apparently
facing another period of publicity
that will keep it in the limelight for
some time to come and will be vari-
ously involved as has been the case
with the publicity given Hibbing in
the past.
News of the payment of the taxes
reached Hibbing early last evening
and was quickly circulated over the
town. The first reports varied and it
was announced that the entire amount
had been paid. Joy was unconfned.
Hibbingites felicitated themselves gen.
orally. Later when the facts were re-
ceived and substantiated there was
some disappointment, but the general
opinion was expressed by Mayor Pow
er's supporters that Hibbing was out
of the woods in the tax controversy.
Properties In Village Limits.
The properties on which the taxes
were paid are all within the village
limits. The mining concerns paid the
taxes with full knowledge of the fact
that the best legal authorities in the
state had held that even if the state
auditor ordered the leases Cancelled
the mining concerns could 60 into
court and have them reinstated. SUBJ
stantially the situation is unchanged
except for the fact that it's intensity
has been possibly heightened.
Of the amount Of taxes paid yester-
day the Pickands- Mather company
paid $4,000 and the Oliver Iron Min
ing company $4,000. The action Of
the mining concerns safeguards the
rights of the state of Minnesota so far
as they are involved in the Hibbing
tax fight.
Mining Concerns Want Showdown.
It is the claim of the mining COM
panies that they refused to. pay their
taxes in Hibbing this year for the sole
purpose of having the equity of the
situation involved adjusted in the
courts. They took the only course
open to them, when they declined to
pay their taxes, to bring about an ad-
justment of what constitutes an
equitable assessment.
Vice President Mitchell of the
Oliver Iron Mining company last night
gave out the following statement of
the position of the mining concerns at
this time:
"The mining companies feel that a
lessee under state lease has the same
right as any other property owner
would have to contest his taxes and to
permit them to go unpaid after June
l. They also feel that by making this
small payment now, they are avoiding
all possibility Of litigation over q
question that is really without merit,
is really we'll settled and which is of
no particular Importance. The pay
ment does not affect the general con-
test on the taxes claimed to be invalid
and improper"

BY paying the delinquent taxes and
penalty due on the Scranton, Poole
and Philbin mines in the Hibbing dis
trict yesterday, a total of $4,000, the
Pickands- -Mather and Oliver Iron Min
ing companies, two of the II mining
concerns in the Hibbing district who
have withheld the payment of their
taxes on the ground that municipal
expenditures at Hibbing we're unduly
extravagant, removed Hibbing's tax
controversy from the realm of state
politics, where it was placed some
time ago by Mayor Power through a
request to State Auditor Preus to can
eel all the leases on state mines for
the reason that the mining concerns
had violated one of the terms of their
lease in failing to keep leased pro-
perties free from tax encumbrance.
The greater part of the sum was
paid in village warrants Of the viii
lage of Hibbing, familiarly known on
the Mesaba Range as "1ron Money"
That portion of the taxes which goes
to the state and county was paid in
cash. There still remains delinquent
and unpaid in taxes due the village of
Hibbing the approximate sum of $780,
900. The effect of yesterdays ac-
ton by the Pickands- -Mather and the
Oliver Iron Mining companies con-
tributes no immediate relief to the
situation arising at Hibbing through
the refusal of the mining concerns to-
pay their taxes. 1t is generally con-
sidered a neat coup at the expense
of Mayor Power, amounting in the
last analysis to fine bit of sarcasm,
while it is consistent with the atti-
tude the mining concerns have always
taken that they desire to have the
whole matter disposed of on it's merits
from an equitable standpoint.
News of the action of the mining
concerns reached Hibbing last night
and was hailed with acclaim by the
village authorities and the supporters
of the Power administration, who de-
clared the mayor of Hibbing had won
another victory of considerable i'm
portance in his controversy with the
mining concerns, in it's various angles
extending over a period of several
years. However, the most conserv-
ative authorities still consider the
general situation at Hibbing drawn
battle, with the ultimate chances for
it's final disposal largely in favor Of
the mining companies.
Mayor Power Pleased.
Mayor Power was manifestly pleas
ed. He is said to have given out a
statement to the effect that Hibbing
has won it's fight in the controversy
and expressed the belief that other
mining concerns would follow the &C.
ton of the Pickands-Mather and Oliv-
er concerns within a few days.
