PASSPORTS RULES DEFERRED.

Under an order from Washing ton, local immigration officials and American consul, are defer the provisions in the passport law recently ordered.
 Daily or periodical traffic across the border can ontinue for 15 days more, the law going into effect relative to this traffic on December '1st, says Thurs day's Herald.
 All those who cross the border daily or periodically will be forced to show temporary regis tration cards but it will not be necessary for the American Con. snl to visae these cards until his work is cleared up.
 At the present time American Consul Lawton is swamped with work and it will be some time before he can visae all of the provisional passports. Consul Lawton is experimenting the work in the consulates at Doug las, Naco, Yuma, Calexico, Campo and Tia Juana on the border and at Ensenada and Cananea in the interior. He is furnishing literature. informa- tion and instructions to the con- suls at all of these points, rela- tive to the new passport laws.
 Consul Lawton has wired Washington for instructions regarding the issuance of pass r,0rtS hu tho Eo1oro1 count fo o1I Americans on this side of the line. Many persons cannot afford to make the trip to the Federal court at Tucson and Consul Lawton will endeavor to obtain a ruling which will permit him to receive applications here.

AID THE Y. M. c. A.

The following circular letter is being mailed to the residents of Santa Cruz county this week by the mem 6ers of the commit tee in charge of the Y. M. c. A. drive for funds to make life pleasant for the boys in the ranks of the army:
 My dear Sir:-In the Y. M. c. A. national drive for thirty five million, Santa Cruz county has been asked to raise 2,5OO. We think this a small quota. It is a duty and privilege for those of us who remain at home to do all in our power for the comfort and welfare of our own boys who are sacrificing their time and interests so generously.
 It is the desire of the commit tee that this amount be raised equally from all. We have there fore made an apportionment which we think will be fair. You are asked to contribute s..
 One of the committee will call on you shortly, as this must be raised this week.

GALES IS LOYAL.

The following telegram from Douglas, dated November 18th, will be interesting to both friends and enemies of Governor P. Elias Gales of Sonora:
 Gov. F. Elias Gales of Sonora is loyal to the Carranza govern ment and will use the armed strength of the state to maintain allegiance to federal authority, according to Consul Ives G. Lelevier and Col. A. Camou, military commander of the north eastern district of Sonora. To- night Mir. Lelevier said:
 The report that Gen. Gales is planning secession move ment in Sonora is without basis of truth and is, think, circulat. ed by enemies of President Car ranza, in the United States, with the desire to cause friction be- tween the federal government and the state of Sonora.
 Colonel Camou said tonight:
 am in almost constant touch with General Gales and yester- day received orders from him to be on the lookout for any dis loyal interest which might be active on this part of the border. I have wired him for an official

Twenty five million feet of lumber is
the mark set by General Manager Fred
w. Hebard of Chas. Hebard & Sons
saw mill at Pequaming.
This cut will be the largest ever
made in one season by the concern and
it is going.to keep Mill Superintendent
John Van Abel and Woods Superinten-
dent Oliver Morris, as well as their
crews, hustling to have this big cut on
the piles before Christmas. About
twenty million feet has already been
cut and unless something out of the
ordinary occurs the finish of the run
will be made on time.
Chas. Hebard & Sons have shipped a
large quantity Of lumber this season
both by water and rail and they have
plenty of room in their immense yards
at present, something that is unusual
for them, as it is about this time of
the year that the crews begin worrying
where they are going to pile the finished
product. The shingle and lath mills
are also enjoying steady, prosperous
run this year.

DOES NOT SELL
KNITTED ARTICLES.

A story is being industriously circu-
lated to the effect that sweaters, socks
and other articles knitted for the Red
Cross are being sold either to the pub
lie in stores or direct to the soldiers.
Harvey D. Gibson, General Manager,
American Red Cross, has issued no.
tice to each Chapter in the Central Di-
vision, denying this story vigorously.
No articles whatever either knitted
or otherwise made by Red Cross work
ers turned in to any Red Cross Chapter,
Branch, or to Auxiliaries, or to any
Red Cross Supply Warehouse are sold
either to the soldiers or to any shops.
Mr.. Gibson warns that if any willful
case Of this sort should come to the at
tention of Washington Headquarters.
the charter.of the Red Cross Chapter
or subsidiary organization sanctioning
it would be Immediately withdrawn
with full publicity. Should it transpire
that any actual instance Of the above
character occurred wherein an individu-
al sold articles after their having been
turned into the Red Cross. such action
would be clearly in violation of the
fundamental law of the Red Cross and
the officials would take vigorous steps
to prosecute the offender.
1t is also true that any case of per-
sons other than those acquiring the
right prior to January, 1905. using the
name or emtlem of the Red Cross, to
assist in the sale of merchandise is a
violation.of the provisions of the Fed
eral Criminal Law and the offender will
be reported to the United States Dis
trict Attorney for prosecution.

COMMISSIONERS MAKE
BIG CUT ON ROLLS.

To the casual observer and the su-
pervisors of the various townships 1t
would seem that the board Of state tax
commissioners does pretty much rs it
pleases when it comes to slashing the
tax assessment rolls, at least so it
seems in Baraga county, or to be more
explicit, in Baraga, Covington and
L'Anse townships in this county, and
the supervisors have no appeal other
than to the board of tax commissioners.
A couple of weeks ago the state tax
commissioners had hearing in l. L'Anse
on the complaint Of the Sturgeon River
Land & Development Company that
their lands in Baraga county were as
sessed too high. twill be remembered
that year or so ago the board had a
similar hearing on the same question
and at that time cut down the super
visors' assessment figures. According
to their latest decision, they still fur
ther reduce their own figures on the
same lands nearly fifty per cent on the
whole parcel of lands, and in some cases
they have cut the assessment on certain
parcels down from $500 to as low as
500.
In Covington township the assess
ment was cut down from $243, 600 to
sl23, 200, in Baraga township from
$26s. 500 to SLAP, 325 and in L'Anse
township from 81, $50 to $S75, a reduc-
tion on the whole of $247, ,25O from a
total assessment of $513, $50.

REGULAR SESSION
OF SUPERVISORS.
A Brief synopsis Of the Annual Meet
Ing Held at L'Anse This Week. r..

The annual meeting of the board Of
supervisors was held at L'Anse this
week, and inasmuch as the official pro-
ceedings will not be ready for printing
until next week, we herewith give .
brief synopsis of the business transac-
ted.
The board approved the raising of a
$32, 900 county tax, a 81, 600 county road
tax, s., 500 Jail bond tax. tax of
$14.3O0 as the county's portion of the
Federal highway tax, and also fixed
the rejected tax. The state tax will
also be added to these figures, the
state tax being higher this year than
last.
The assessment rolls were also equal
ized, bills allowed and reports approved.
Antoine E. Erickson was re-appointed
superintendent of the poor.
Miss Kate Curry was re-appointed
county school examiner.
August Hutula was appointed county
road commissioner to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of John Lyons.
The contract for publishing the pro.
ceedings of the county boards and the
contract for job printing was again
awarded to the Baraga Journal and the
L'Anse Sentinel.
The board turned down the petition
of the county officers for raise in sal
ary, and also left undecided the matter
of lights for the poor farm, the ap-
pointment of county sealer of weights
and measures. and the matter of whet-
her Baraga county should have coun-
ty agent.
The heavy burden which the taxpay-
ers will be under next year has caused
the board to scrutinize carefully any
expenditure not absolutely necessary
at this time, and it is safe to say that
hereafter they will try and save every
cent they can to cut down the increas-
ing expense.
About:the most interesting matter
which was up for the board to decide
or do with as they please was the mat
ter of the Won Zellen claims against
the county. These claims go back as
far as the nineties and the Won Zellens
are asking for twelve thousand dollars
as settlement. The board of super
visors offered to settle the claims at
two different times, but when the last
offer was made and accepted an injunc-
ton was issued restraining the board
from paying. This injunction has never
been dissolved and after the cases have
lain dormant on the calendar for a
number of years, it looks as if matters
were quickly coming to head. Judge
Sullivan looked over the claims or tes-
timony at the last term of Circuit
Court and recommended to the board Of
supervisors that they pay claims
amounting to five thousand dollars and
interest. The board took the view that
they wanted to pay any just claim in
full. with no part payments, but be-
lieved that twelve thousand dollars wat
beyond all reason. The plaintiff could
not see matters any different and there
the discussion ended. Undoubtedly the
matter will now be taken through court
for decision.
