from Kenneth NJ. Clark. a Harvard
graduate. who is now cruising timber
lands in the Northern Quebec wilder
ness.
Exploring strange trail With a
guide, Clark wrote, he found a rough
igloo, nearly buried in snow. Inside
was lone Eskimo or half breed, clothed
in furs. A notebook in corner Of the
hut, together with papers and bits OF
metal, apparently parts of a sextant:
caught Clark's eye. and examination OF
the book disclosed the name of DR..
Frederick A. Cook. The pages con :,
tained notes on weather, latitudinal and
LONGITUDINAL data. condition Of ice foes
and other memoranda. Eighty nine was

with the help Of his guide, the tim
Der cruiser said he learned from the
lone occupant Of the igloo that he was
a wanderer Of the wilderness. He had
been with the Cook expedition, he indi-
cated--one of the few who stayed with
the explorer after his party had been
split by blizzards, thinned by scanty
provisions and forced to turn back
when the dogs went mad.
Before leaving the man said he took
the notebook and other articles and
had been carrying them since. ct was

clined to criticize severely the board
members who voted against the office.
In justice to these men, it must be
said that at least half of those vot-
ing "no" were doing so because they
honestly felt that their people wanted
them to do so. Their people wanted
taxes reduced and the board is elected
to Go the wish of the people.
But how about your taxes saved in
cutting out the county agents office?
The county pays $4,000 per year for
maintaining the position, the remain
der is paid by the state and national
govern Nlent. None of the United
States governments share is raised
by direct taxes, and very little of the
states share comes from direct tax
1t is raise largely by income taxes,
inheritance taxes, moonshine fines,
etc. But no matter where it comes
from, abolishing the Office in st.
Croix county does not save the tax
payers any more than the $4,000
tear. There have been many ex-
pressions as to how much this
amoc,nts to on each PERSONS tax re-
eeipt. Here are the exact figures:
|. Six and ore-half cents on each
$1,000 of assessed value.
2. An average Of 10 cents per per-
son.
3. An average of 50 cents per farm.
a. Less than one-third of one cent
on each dollar of taxes.
Now get out your last tax receipt,
see what your assessed value is, then
figure out how much you have been
saved. Then wait till the County
Board proceedings are published next
January, read the County Agents re-
mort and see whether you think the
County Agents work justified the ex-
penditvres made during the past year.
Yes. and look oven the report Of GARD
proceedings to see if your representa-
tive followed your plea for economy
by making other reductions. In 9TH
ed words. was the plea for economy
consistently followed out?
But even some of those who voted
against the proposition this year
state that st. CroiX county will come
back next year that she will then con-
tinue to progress in agricultural
lines as she has in the past three
years. In short, they feel that st.
Croix county will "carry on"
