Dig holes at least 8 feet in diameter
and 2 feet deep in good soil, and
make them four feet across in poor

free from sods or other decompos-
ing organic matter, about the tree

place the roots of the tree, spread
them as evenly as possible over the
earth, put in and cover with or 8
inches of fine top soil. Tramp
firmly with the feet and fill the
hole with good earth, leaving the
surface loose and little higher

Annual Meeting

The Ely-Burntside Outing com
pany held their annual meeting
Tuesday evening and mapped Out
the business for the season besides
electing officers for the ensuing
year.
Officers chosen were: c.. T.
Ayres, president; Jas. Laing, vice
president; Peter Schaefer, secretary;
P. 7. Brownell, treasurer; M. J.
Murphy director for three wears
who together with Jas. Moonan
and Geo. L. Brozich compose the
board of directors.
The reports from officers were
read and accepted. The offer OF
the Duluth & Iron Range to con-
struct a telephone line to BURNSIDE
was accepted on a guarantee basis.
This will prove of benefit to those
who visit the lake in a hundred or
more ways and a pay station there
should be good investment. 1t
is safe to estimate that hundreds of
people are at the lake every Sunday
and telephone connections with the
city and outside points will prove
of much pleasure and benefit.
The Outing company has con-
structed a large boat house in the
bay at the portage with necessary
approaches and large dock. The
boat house is divided into stalls
and capable of housing four large
launches. Mr.. Erickson has been
engaged and is now at the lake
prepared to let out boats and
canoes. The Lodge opening date
has as yet not been announced.
1t is anticipated that there will
be an active season at the lake as
already large numbers of letters are
being received from outside parties
requesting information and reser-
vations.

GUT THE RATE
Ore Transportation from Mesaba
Range Cut to 55c per Ton

A Washington dispatch of Tues
day says:
The existing rate of 90 cents per
long ton of iron ore from mines on
the Mesaba range, in Minnesota, to
vessels at Two Harbors, Mimi. and
Duluth. Mimi, and Allouez Bay,
Wis, was pronounced unreason-
able today by the interstate com
merce commission and the Duluth,
Missabe & Northern, the Duluth
& Iron Range and the Great
Northern railroads were ordered to
establish a rate of not more than
SIS cents. No findings were made
by the commission on the rates
from mines on the Vermilion and
Guyana ranges, but representatives
of the Cuyuna range, however,
the commissions report declares,
said during the progress of the
case that even if no order were
entered with respect to that range
the rate for the Mesaba would be
controlling. The report says the
United States Steel corporation
indirectly controls the Duluth &
Iron Range company and the Du-
luth Missabe & Northern Railway
company and owns the larger por-
ton of ore shipped over them, and
that this fact demands a strict
Interpretation of any standard of
reasonableness which is adopted,
although the right of these roads to
earn fair return upon the prop
erty devoted to public use is not
questioned.
1t was argued that a rate in
excess of a reasonable rate would
be tantamount to a rebate to the
United States Steel corporation and
that was not contradicted by the
carriers.

ORE PRICES
Last Years Figures Seem to Pre-.
vail at This Stage

Cleveland advices are to the
effect that between four hundred
thousand and five hundred thous-
and tons of old range non -Besse-
mer has been sold at last year. S
prices, namely s. per ton says
Skilling's Mining and Market
Letter. 1t is also stated that 1885,
900 tons of Mesaba non -Bessemer
has been sold at $2.S5. It would
appear that last years prices are
to prevail during the opening
months of the season, but the con-
ditions are unusual, and expectant.
With the iron and steel industry
expanding steadily and general
prosperity recognized to be at hand
it may be expected that these
prices will be advanced after, say
July l. The sale of the nom
Bessemers suggests that S3.75 will
prevail for old range Bessemers,
and $3.50 for Mesaba Bessemers.
The Vermilion range ores, Besse-
mers, usually command a premium
because of quality and structure.
The present prospect, therefore,
would suggest that Vermilion ore
will command from 81. 40 to $50.
Beyond a doubt, from present
prospects, all Lake Superior ores
will command a little better price
before the present season is very
far advanced. 1t seems too bad
that the independent iron produc-
ers cannot conserve their interests
in the same manner as the copper
producers.

enemies to punish. Every tax
payer in your district is entitled to
a square deal--no more and no less.
1t is the duty of every owner of
personal property to list it for taxa
ton. If he neglects or refuses to
do so it becomes the duty of the as
SCISSOR to list and assess it according
to his best judgment. In such
case, upon request, the assessor is
required to furnish a statement
showing the amount of the assess
ment so made.
There is very prevalent opin-
ion that when a person lists his
property and swears to its correct
ness. the assessor must accept the
same because sworn to. Such is
not the law. No taxpayer has a
right to make his own assessment.
The list he furnishes the assessor,
even when sworn to, is only a
statement or inventory of the pro-
perty owned by him. The assessor
must himself value the property
and such valuation may be more or
less than that of the owner.
That taxes are going higher
throughout the state cannot be
denied. Practically every taxing
district is raising more money by
taxation now than formerly. This
increase is due largely to growing
expenditures, both state and local.
1t should be borne in mind
that, with the exception of the
state levy, all taxes are local and
under the control of the county
and its subdivisions. including
school districts. If they are un-
reasonably high the remedy is in
he hands of the people them
selves"

Monday. He visited Burnside
lake where Mr.. Rogers owns
several islands. While here he ar
ranged for the construction of
several buildings on his holdings
to be occupied by himself and
friends as summer homes. He
feels very much impressed with

Its easy access and says several
other eastern parties will build on
the islands within a short time.

Gives WARMING

In another column will be found
notice issued by Chief of Police
LaBeau, that hereafter the city
ordinances regarding speeding on
the streets will be enforced and it
will be well for drivers of vehicles
and motorcycles to look the matter
up. Regulations regarding the
driving on the wrong side of the
street and the turning of corners
will be particularly watched. The
corner speed is placed at 8 miles an
hour and the street traffic is made
at Is miles an hour. This speed
is little in excess of that allowed
in other cities but the hills on the
city thoroughfores must be
negotiated at little higher speed
and therefore the limit was made
Is miles. The muff1ers must not
be cut out according to the orders
of the chief.

ANNUAL LETTER
State Tax Commission Issues Letter
to Assessors

The State Tax Commission has
sent out their annual letter to the
assessors. Last year a similar
letter was sent out and the assessor
of this city made his valuations ac-
cordingly. The valuations as thus
made passed the local board of re-
view and the county board. When
they reached the State Tax Com
mission they were promptly shot in
the neck to the extent of reducing
the valuations on mining property
and leaving the other classes as
listed. The letter reads as follows:
Before entering upon your i'm
portant duties we desire to impress
upon you the necessity of a thorough
listing and an equitable valuation
of all property subject to assessment
this year in your district" the
commissions letter reads. The
higher the tax rate is in any
district the greater the injustice if
the assessment is not made in ac-
cordance with law. Every effort
should be made by the assessor to
render his assessment as complete
and equitable as thoroughness and
human judgment can make it.
While the assessor is not re-
sponsible for the amount of the
tax, he is largely responsible for
the equality of taxes. His work
forms the basis of the completed
assessment. If poorly done, no
subsequent steps by boards of re-
view or equalization can overcome
its defects. A poor initial assess
ment will in nearly every case
mean a poor completed assessment.
The taxpayers of your district
are entitled to the best service you
can render them. They have
right to rely on your integrity,
fairness and good judgment. The
greatest injury you can inflict on
the community that elected you is
to willingly or carelessly omit tax
able property from your assessment
list or undervalue the property of
some of your friends and overvalue
the property of others. Neither
favoritism or vindictiveness should
influence your work, nor should
you have friends to reward or
