Geo. w. Rash, Belden township, said
that he has a tax of S135.O2 on his
80 acres, for 1928, that he has not yet
paid it and does not intend to pay it.
He repeated the statement that he
has made on other occasions which
is something like this: If the same
conditions continue to prevail then
inside of 10 years all of Pine county
will be in the same financial con-
dition as now exists in the northeast
ern townships of the county and all of
the state of Minnesota will be in the
same financial condition as are the
counties in northern Minnesota. He
says he can see the handwriting on

ASKOV GARDEN CLUB
LEARNS OF BULBS

The Askov Garden club met at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. MAIDS Nielsen
Monday night in its regular monthly
session and besides attending to the
regular business, learned something
new about the care, storage and plant
ing of various Towering bulbs in
Guiding a special demonstration on
tulips by Anker Petersen, who has
spent some time with Duluth and Min
neapolis florist concerns. The paper
and demonstration indicated much
work and thought on the part of Mr..
Petersen who is well versed on that
subject.
A reading entitled "The Mystery of
an Autumn Leaf" was presented by
Miss Carolyn Ovestrud, after which
lunch was served.
Mrs. A. w. Conway had prepared
a paper on reporting house plants, and
although this was not completely read,
it contained many valuable pointers
on the subject.

and thus get some of the lands back
on the tax rolls, as many taxpayers
are about ready to pay up if some in
ducements are offered.
Mr.. Empey closed by saying: "My
own selfish interest in this matter is
that l want to sell some land in Pine
county,"
Praises Mr.. Empey.
State Representative ]. E. Therrien
of Pine City, the next speaker, lauded
Mr.. Empey as a tax expert, and said
that he has stated taxes well. Mr..
Therrien also said that he is on an
interim committee and will, together
with the other members, submit some
recommendations for improvement in
the tax situation to the next legisla-
ture. Talking about the State Rural
Credits Bureau, the speaker took a
slap at H. H. Flowers, one of the
members, and said he is an egotistical
man, adding that the state now has
1900 farms on its hands on which no
taxes are paid. Mr.. Therrien added
visualize half of the farms in a
school district not paying taxes" The
speaker also took credit for having
the courage to criticise, stating that
his criticism of the county commits
sioners at a meeting in Wilma town.

not spending any more than what cash
they have. Mr.. Therrien concluded
by praising Mr.. Empey again.
Opposes Auxiliary Forest.
George Schlecht, forest engineer of
Duluth, who had come to attend the
meeting, was called upon for a few
remarks by Chairman Ronnback. Mr..
Schlecht stated that he was affiliated
with the organization opposing the
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1929-10-17

state auxiliary forest, and while he
appreciated the ability of Prof. Chap
man of Yale university, he takes is
sue, with him on several matters. In
the first place, said the speaker, Prof.
Chapman was endowed by the Weyer-
haeuser lumber interests and came to
Minnesota to study forestry for pro-
ponents of forests. He said also that
he is not disputing that there is tax
problem but the auxiliary forest will
not solve the delinquency, adding
there is way to solve it, but don't
let the Weyerhaeusers do it. Mr..
Schlecht said the owners of cut-over
lands are the land spectators and
big lumber companies. Referring to
the increased acreage of tax delin-
quent lands, of which Mr. Empey
spoke, Mr.. Schlecht said that so far
as st. Louis county is concerned that
is largely brought about by the re-
fusal of the Weyerhaeusers to pay
their tax on 72,420 acres which they
have petitioned the county commits
siOnerS under the new auxiliary for
est law to put aside as an auxiliary
forest and on which they would in the
event it goes through pay only &c tax
per acre annually for local purposes
and &c per acre for fire protection.
More Efficiency Needed.
Mr.. Schlecht said that an efficient
forest service is needed in this state
and that the forest fire fighting here
is not 25 per cent efficient. He said
that in Minnesota we are spending
annually $250,O00 for forest fighting
and added to this is about $4,000
federal aid, making total of 100000,
while in Wisconsin they spend only
$4,000, and in Minnesota is where
we have had the big forest fires. Re
ferring to the situation in Beltrami
county of which Mr.. Empey spoke, Mr..
Schlecht said that the bad tax prob
lem there was due to the wholesale
ditching which cost millions of dol
lars, engineered by politicians and
big ditching companies, and left the
settlers with an overwhelming debt
Remedy Generally at Home.
Editor Hjalmar Petersen of Askov,
said that so far as Pine county is
concerned, the tax problem is mostly
a local matter and if each township,
village and school district takes care
of its own matters properly the stu
alton will improve very materially
The tendency is always to blame some
one else, and we are so reluctant about
seeing our own mistakes. There is

THE REV. DYREBORG
GIVES GOOD ADVICE
TO YOUNG PEOPLE

A large gathering was present at
the Young Peoples meeting Sunday
evening to hear the Rev. o. H. Dyre-
borg give his last lecture before that
body before he and his family depart
for their new home at Perth Amboy,
N. j., which will be within two weeks.
The pastor said that he had pom
dered for some time over the question
of what he might say at this last
meeting, and added that it was his
desire that it might be something
which would have value for his aud
fence, something to be remembered.
He had come to the conclusion that
he would give a reading and so read
one story of Lawrence P. Swanson,
written by Carl Hansen.
Lawrence P. Swanson was a Danish
immigrant who lived in the village of
Elmdale where the crops were good,
the soil fertile, and financial condi-
tion good. He was single man and
never laughed heartily. He forgot his
mother tongue and the church. But
a change came about in his life,
there was feeling of loneliness, he
started to read and soon the sound
of the church bells was good music
to his ears, the cheerfulness of neigh
bors added mirth and happiness and
the little sunshine in his heart COM
menced to develop. His next Christ
mas was real happy one when he
sent letters and gifts to relatives.
After the reading of the story which
was also very humorous at times, the
Rev. Dyreborg explained that there
are two paths to choose for the young
people and no one escapes the selec-
ton. The one path which leads to a
withered life may be caused by money,
laziness, indifference and the like
The other path calls for honesty, en-
ergy, efficiency, economy, cheerful
ness, and not to be carefree, which
leads to happiness. He admonished
the young people to cling to their
Young Peoples Society and the song
evenings which lead to cheerfulness
and happiness and said they can get
much help through good schools, the
congregation and the church. 1--WE
must have a SOUL" said the pastor,
land the greatest help is that we have
given ourselves to our maker; it Of
fers the most help and finally eternal
happiness"
The reading of the story and the
good words he added was all done in
about 40 minutes, and that this
splendid discourse was deeply appre-
ciated, was plainly apparent through
the rapt attention accorded the pastor.
His interest in the young people and
his good work with them throughout
the three years he has been in Askov
is deserving of commentator and in
behalf of the Society, Hans Mosbak,
the president, expressed appreciation.
Several songs were sung by the
audience with piano accompaniment
by Miss Verla Hansen, a little bust
ness transacted and Sigurd Stovring
spoke briefly on the project of con-
tributing money to the work of DIR.
Erling Ostergaard in the Santal mis-
sion. Lunch was served and de-
lightful and profitable evening was
rounded out with the playing of ring
games.

Greatest Catastrophe.
Eleven years ago today residents of
Northeastern Minnesota were engaged
in normal pursuit at farms, homes, Of
fees and factories. A day later they
were faced with what many persons
call the greatest catastrophe in the
history of the Northwest.
The fall had been unusually dry,
and usual grass, brush and peat fires
had burned in several places. Little
attention was paid to them. Then,
late in the afternoon of Oct. IL, a
strong wind arose, whipping the
brush fires and igniting nearby for
ests. The big fire apparently started
at Poupore, thirty miles northwest of

Moving at a terrific rate, the fire

stopped only at the outskirts of Du-
luth because of a change of wind.

 THEIR SON

LOS ANGELES, Feb, 18, R)- Theodore Hugh Plunkett shot and killed Edward Doheny, Jr., 36, and then shielded with the same gun.
 Plunkett was the confidential secretary and close friend of the multimillionaire oil man. Both died from a single shot.
 Dr. E. c. Fishbaugh, family phy- sisian who discovered the bodies, said Plunkett evidently had gone mad, the result from a nervous collapse. Dr. Fishbaugh had called at the Doheny home to attend to Plunkett and arrived shortly after midnight.
 The doctor said while he and Mrs. Doheny were walking toward the guest room where young De- heIly and Plunkett were, Plunkett came out and said You stay out of here"
 Dr. Fishbaugh said Then the man turned and ran back and the door swung shut and shot rang through the hall. Plunkett's body was spraWled on the floor face down with the gun beneath. De- heny's body lay near an overturn- ed chair"
 Mrs. Doheny said she heard the first shot. Both Mrs. Doheny and Edward, Sr., collapsed at the news.
