Pursuant to notice, special meet
ing of the Board of Education for
the purpose of meeting the architect,
G. Howard Parsons and considering
matters relative to the new Industrial
school building was called to order at
three o'clock P. M. by President, A.
j. Fenske. On motion duly carried,
Mr.. Henry Chinn was appointed tenn
porary secretary. On roll call, the
following members were found to be
present: Chinn, Fenske, King, Lock
hart and White. Absent: Ayres.
The following recommendations
were submitted by the architect:
Having examined the south base
for the new Industrial school, and
depth of the storm sewer running
through the site of same and also
taking into consideration the grade
at Boiler house and high school,
recommend that the grade of the In
dustrial school be established two
feet six inches above the sidewalk
level at the southeast corner of the
Washington school. This will raise
the new building two feet, six inches
further out of the ground and gives
the west Side basement windows a
better natural clearance of the pres
ent ground and makes the future
terracing that much simpler"

concentrations of the architect to
raise the grade of the new Indus
trial school building two feet, six
inches were approved. 5 ayes and

On motion duly carried, Madsen &

passing interest. 1t is encouraging
information that there was gross
increase in the inventory of Min
.nesota iron ore of considerably more
than one-half billion tons in about
10 years. Of this amount the Tax
Commission credits the Guyana range
with 70,S57,865 tons as existing in
1914. The balance was found in the
Mesaba and Vermilion ranges, and
since 1913 on the Guyana range,
through drilling, exploration and dew
elopment work. So it appears that
the original tonnage as of 1907 not
only had been maintained to May l,
1917, but had increased more than
one-quarter billion tons.
1t is reasonable to predict that
there will be a big drain on Min
nesota ores, both iron and mangan-
ferrous iron, during the next ten
years. That the unmined ore re-
serves as now existing may be main
tanned at the end of that period is
altogether probable, providing ex-
ploration is encouraged. But there
is at present little to encourage the
prospector and developer of mines,
either for speculation or for indie
pendent operation. If he discovers
an ore deposit that requires under
ground operation it must be of an ex-

BEAUTY SPOT READY.

Sandy Point has been made ready
for the season of 1919. The seats
have been placed and the tables made
ready for the picknickers. The park
keeper has freshly whitewashed
every birch tree, and the greasy
newspaper and ditto shoe box lunch
container is not yet in evidence. The
old springboard has been freshly
sanded and the bath houses aired out.
All is in readiness and everything
is clean and neat. This is a very
popular summer resort for the people
of Ely. It is an ideal spot in which
to spend an afternoon or an evening
and thousands visit it each year. The
buildings are intact and nary a rock
has been SHE'D through a window
during the winter months of idle
ness. The bathing beaches are in:
comparable. The fine sand is UNI
beatable anywhere. The shade is
excellent and the name of the place
is no misnomer. One other name
might be added to it-that of
Breezy Point" for it's location gives
to it the benefit of every breath of
air stirring and always it is cool and
delightful there. Perhaps ere long
it will be formally opened by a big,
community picnic and dance, if the
Man from Medicine Hat is only kind
to us.

PENALTY FOR EVADERS.

Evaders of the new semiluxury tax
law, which became effective May 1,
are subject to arrest and fine, &C
cording to word received from the
internal revenue department, and
purchasers, as well as dealers, will be
liable to penalty. Moreover, pur-
chasers are prohibited from spool
ing" their orders so as to evade the
tax and dealers as well as employers
must guard against such attempts to
escape the tax.
The tax is measured by the price
for which the food or drink is sold.
1t is on the actual sales price at the
rate of one per cent or fraction there
of of the amount paid for any of the
articles mentioned in Section $50 of
the law. Each sale for ten cents or
less is taxed at one cent and every
sale for over ten cents is taxed one
cent for each ten cents or fraction
thereof of the price.
The tax is paid upon the whole
amount of the price paid by the pur-
chaser, the order reads. "When the
price is paid at one time though in
payment for several articles which
are the subject of a single transac-
ton OF purchase and sale, the total
price paid is the unit for computing
the tax"
Thus, If the purchaser orders two
sodas at the same time, each for Is
cents, the tax is three cents, and not
four cents. If, however, he buys one
soda for 10 cents the tax is two cents,
and II ne then Immediately purchases
another 15-cent drink the tax is two
cents on the second sale, which can
not be treated as part of the first sale.

SHOWS UNMINED
ORE RESERVES
THE TAX COMMISSION REPORT
SHOWS KNOWN RESERVES
INCREASING YEARLY.

The Minnesota Tax Commission in
a late report states that between May
1, 1907, and May 1, 1917, newly dew
eloped ore to the amount of $685.
811,782 tons was reported in this
state, says Skilling's Review. This
is gross increase, representing the
difference between the ore that re-
manned unmined in 1907 and in 1917,
added to the total shipments from
1907-1916. To be more explicit, the
ore remaining unmined in 1907 was,
according to the state inventory, l.
191, 969,757 tons, and in 1917 the
amount was 1,455, 56S,770 tons. The
net increase, therefore was $780,
013 tons. The shipments 19O7-1916
amounted to 303,212,769 tons, and
when added to the net increase of
unmined ore we get a total of $685.
811,782, representing the gross in
crease.
These statistics are of more than
