STATE ORE TAX BLANKS
SENT OUT TUESDAY.

The first step in the collection of
the iron ore tax from mining COM
panies operating in Northern Min
nesota in conformity with the Min
nesota occupation tax law held valid
by United States supreme court. was
taken Tuesday when Minnesota tax
commission mailed out blanks for
tonnage returns to the various oper-
ating companies.
The blanks call for a report for
the business done in 1922, although
the companies are two years in ar
rears of their tax settlement.
Blanks calling for returns of 1921
tonnage was mailed year ago, but
q temporary injunction granted the
companies in the lower courts held
up the returns.
1t is expected several weeks will
elapse before returns are filed. The
tax due the state is estimated to
total more than $5,0O0,00 for 1921
and 1922.

BONDS
OVER 81, 100000.
UNTIES BEGIN LENDING
CREDIT UNDER NEW ROAD
BOND LAW.

Although the plan for state high
way bonds for needed improve
ments was not made law, the last
Legislature did authorize more than
$11, 100000 more county reimburse
ment bonds for trunk route work,
and a highway bulletin this week
states that twenty-five counties al
ready have voted or are consider
ing issues of more than 100000
under the new law.
The first issue of 100000 has
been sold by Pennington county.
Others exceeding 81, 100000 have
been voted by Beltrami, Carlton,
Carver, Goodhue, Meeker, Nicollet,
Steele and Wabasha counties. Blocks
ranging up to $250,00O each are
proposed in Becker, Dodge, Doug
las, Grant, Kittson, Morrison, Otter
tail, Pope, Sibley, Stearns, Traverse,
Waseca and Wabasha counties. No
reports of action have been received
from remaining counties sharing the
authorization, the bulletin states.
While more than $11 100000 is
authorized by the legislature and
100000 already is up, the high
way department is fighting to hold
the grand total for the 2-year
period to 100000.
''The department stand on bonds

trunk h ig hway improvements
knowing the economy of paying in
terest on good roads instead of
larger amounts for cnstant repair
ing on inadequate roads. REIN
bursement money must be used in
the county issuing the bonds, and
the law opens the way for improv-
ing roads serving few users ahead
of those used by many, contrary to
fairness and the spirit of the high
way plan. So where motor vehicle
reports would be encountered to
build minor betterments before
those most necessary, department
will be withheld"
Experience in the next two years
will demonstrate the necessity of
providing way of financing need
ed improvements, he intimated. al

on motor vehicles will pay the i'm

not have turned her eyes away from

CHAPTER XVIII
The Sheriff of Ell Gallon.

About the middle of the forenoon
of that day Madeline reached the
ranch. Her guests had all arrived
there late the night before, and want
ed only her presence and the assur-
ance Of her well-being to consider the
last of the camping trip rare adven-
tupe They reported an arduous ride
down the mountain, with only one in
cident to lend excitement. On the
descent they had fallen In with Sher
iff Have and several of his deputies
who were considerably under the in
fuence Of drink and very greatly en-
ragged by the escape of the Mexican
girl Bonita. Have had used insult
ing language to the ladies' and, ac-
cording to Ambrose, would have In
convenienced the party on some pre-
text or other If he had not been
sharply silenced by the cowboys.
Madellne's guests were two days in
recovering from the hard ride. On
the third day they leisurely began to
prepare for departure. This period
was doubly trying for Madeline. Her
sister and friends were kindly and
earnestly persistent In their entreaties
that she go back East with them. She
desired to go. 1t was not going that
mattered; 1t was how and when and
under what circumstances she was to
return that reused In her disturbing
emotion. Before she went East she
wanted to have fixed In mind her fu-
ture relation to the ranch and the
West. When the crucial hour arrived
she found that the West had not
claimed Her yet. These old friends
had warmed cold ties.
1t turned out, however. that there
need be no hurry about making the
decision. Madeline would have well
coined any excuse to procrastinate
but. as 1t happened. a letter from Al
fred made her departure out of the
question for the present. He wrote
that his trip to California had been
very profitable. that he had q propoh-
