Rates on Cream Shipments Reduced

Through the efforts of Ed Tote
& Co. new tariff has been issued
by the Booth line, making rate
of Is cents hundred pounds on
shipments Of cream, butter and
eggs from Chicago Bay and inter-
mediate points to Duluth, and also
gratuitous return of empty cans
from Duluth to shipping points. This
special rate is great incentive to
an industry which is being de-
vel6ped in this county and which
will increase rapidly from year to
year.
The first shipment of cream from
Cook county to Duluth was made
about SIX weeks ago, and the tests
and returns on the shipments that
have been made up to this time have
been very satisfactory and enoourag-
ing.
The dairy industry is fast develop
ing and increasing. The farmers
are wisely raising their stock to
maturity instead of selling it for beef
as heretofore. Land clearing is
also receiving moro attention in
preparation for large herds of cattle.
Our development Of the farming
industry has been steady and sure,
and it will continue to increase as
the interest and attitude of our
farmers is of the type that means
results, and the establishment of
Cook county as a good, progressive
dairying community.

Comments on the North
Shore Automobile Drive,

"Speaking of Northern Minneso-
ia Roads you have them all skin
ned Il thousand miles, both on
roads and scenic beauties.'
IL was surprised. how did you
finance the road with it's steel brid-
ges and large concrete culverts ?
This road will be so popular after
it becomes known that garage and
hotel room will be at a. premium
soon".
"You sure have some roads,"
This road will put Cook county
on the map.
"If the people of Minnesota knew
of the North Shore Automobile
drive you would have to enlist the
aid OF every residence witha spare
room in the village to hold them.
D o o
II had been told of few bad
stretches in the road from Duluth
to Grand Marais and was looking
for them but failed to find them.' -
o O Q
In the "Where Shall We Drive
Tomorrow" article of last Saturdays
Duluth Herald was described the
north shore drive from Duluth to
the Pigeon river and ended by say.
ing: "When the north shore drive
becomes better known it should. be
a favorite with tourists. Minnesota
has nothing like it. In fact there is
nothing quite like it any place in
America, and if the thousands OF
tourists who are looking for cool
weather, good roads, and fishing
knew of the beauties of this trip,
there would be procession of them
along the route. AS yet compare.
lively few Duluthians know the
route beyond Beaver bay"

Local Bank Changes Hands

A deal was brought to head this
week, whereby L. G. Lundquist, of
this village, and his brother, G. F.
Lundquist OF Strandberg, S. D.,
take over the management and the
bulk of the stock of the Cook Coun-
ty State Bank.
G. f. Lundquist was formerly
with the First State Bank of Strand

able banking experience, while L..
Z. is we'll known to the people of
this county, having resided here for
the past three years. He was an Of
tcer of the local bank up to a year
ago.
The capital of the bank will he
increased from $4,000 to $25, 900
with surplus of $4,000, which will
take effect as soon as the articles of
incorporation have been legally
amended, the publication of which
will probably be commenced next
week. This will glvo us bank
with adequate capital to handle the
business of the community, and 1t is
safe to say that with these men as
managers, it will be run strictly on
business principles.
&. +. Lundquist left last week to
move his family down here and they
are expected in few days. The
new management will take charge
Immediately upon his return.

Sunday evening about ten
o'clock.
Funeral services were held at
the home of Clay Keen in Es-
tancia, and the remains were
sent to the former home in Tex

Death was due to an accident
which happened near Mcintosh
Sunday morning
The boy was riding a bucking
horse, and was finally thrown,
striking on his head and the
horse falling on him. He was
rushed TO town where medical
aid was given, but it was found
that there was a fracture of the
skull at the base of the brain,
causing blood clot, and death
ensued in about twelve hours
after the accident.
Deceased was born July 30,
1900, and was therefore little
past sixteen years of age.
He was an unusually intelli-
gent, bright boy. and his death
is a severe trial to his parents,
who have the warm sympathy of
the community.
The family came here from
Texas last spring.

THE MINE TAX Law

Perhaps some of our reader!
donot fully understand the al
lusion in this paper last week tt
the mine tax law.
This law is fine example o1
what the Republicans have beer
doing to the people of this state
1t is known as the Springer.
Hawkins law, because Charles
Springer and W. A. Hawkins
framed the law.
Charles Springer is treasurer
of the Rocky Mountain & Pacific
Co. of Colfax county, the largest
coal producer in New Mexico.
w. A. Hawkins is general
counsel for the Ell Paso South
western Railroad Co., and con-
sulting counsel for the Stag
Canyon Fuel Co., of ColfaX coun-
| ty, the second largest coal pro-
ducer in New Mexico.
Under this law the mines are
taxed on the output, and not on
the value of the property.
In 1915 Mr.. Springer's COM
pany reported to financial journ-
ais and stockholders assets of
$19, 900, 100000, which supposedly
represents the actual value of the
property it owns.
1t was assessed under the
Springer-Hawkins law at So, 843,-
002.00, less than one-siXth of its
value.
Is there a man in Torrance
county who got his property in at
one-siXth of its value?
If there is we would like to
hear from him.
Such things as the above are
what really concern the voter,
and it is an organization that is
responsible for them-the Repub-
lican party.
There were good men in the
legislature that passed that law,
who protested, but they were
oger-ruled.
There were good men in all the
legislatures which passed all the
unjust and unfair laws who pro-
tested against them, but were
over-ruIed and put down.
1t will be remembered that E.
P. Davies protested against the
county salary law, but it had no
effect.
Just so, no mans protest has
any effect.
AS before said in this paper,
there are good men on the Re-
publican tickets and in the Re-
publican ranks.
But they don't have any effect.
It's the same old machine.
There is but one remedy
smash the machine.

parasite, the professional politi-
clan, makes a livelihood at the
expense of the tax payers. This
fact is admitted by all except
those who are dishonesty self
seeking. Like the saloon, there
| are so many ways to exercise the
good there is in it that it is al
together bad.
Perhaps at the risk Of being
charged with reiteration, l want
to say that in the consideration
of the two essential things in
life, politics and religion, we use
less common sense than in the
consideration of anything else.
In the conduct of public business
our methods are several decades
behind the times and our taxes
are more than double what they
should be. More than two years
ago | proposed to conduct the
business of Torrance county for
one half what it was costing and
to do it better than it had ever
been done or could be done under
the present antiquated methods.
That proposition was made in
good faith and still holds good.
The same conditions that make
it possible for me to do this in
Torrance county prevail in every

Editor News-H Herald:

Editor News-Herald:
The large type editorial in your
last issue relative to the use and
abuse of political parties rings
true. Permit me to congratulate
you on the courage displayed in
its publication.
Every intelligent person knows
that in local issues, in municipal,
county and state elections. the
political party has outlived its
usefulness, if it ever had any. 1t
is the means by which that ex-
pensive and worse than useless
