walking in from Duluth. He was en-

WILL CONTEST
INCOME TAX
u. S. Steel Corporation Will
Contest Suit of 5000, 349
on Income Tax.

The action to adjudge five sub
salaries of the United States Steel Cor
poration indebted to the state for the
amount of unpaid income taxes, filed
Friday in district court, will be con-
tested according to the announcement
of Elmer F. Blu, general solicitor for
the corporation in Duluth.
The taxes will be contested on the
ground joint return of all subsidiaries,
showing a net loss, is permitted under
a state law. The state contends that
filing of joint return is contrary to a
state law. The income tax law was
passed in 1888.
The state also seeks interest at 6
per cent on the taxes from March Is
1884, besides $40 penalty fines on each
company.
The taxes sought from each company
follows: Oliver company, $1,591.77; Du-
luth, Missabe & Northern Railway Co.
$144, 593 SO; Duluth & Iron Range Rail-
road Co., $51,077.52; Proctor Water and
Light Co., $1,074.16, and the Spirit Lake
Transfer Railway Co., $2,O1246.

POWER SLIGHT
FULL Dividend
Minnesota Power and Light to
Pay Dividend and Restore
Half of Pay Cut.

Payment of a full dividend to its
Is 900 preferred stockholders, and re-
storation of one-haf of 10 per cent
pay cut to its TOO employees, was voted
by the board of directors of the Mime
sofa Power & Light Company at is
meeting last week and according to
dividend ad appearing in these columns
last week.
This action increases the dividend on
the company's preferred stock from
three quarters to the full rate, and re-
stores one-half of the cut in pay made
March 1892 to the companys employees
The boards action reflects not only
the greatly improved water conditions
throughout the company's territory, but
also a substantial upturn in business
from the low point reached in 1888
Last year, due to low water and the
greatly reduced capacity of its hydro
electric plants, the company was obliged
to keep its Duluth steam station in
operation for approximately eight
months. The additional cost of opera
ting this plant, alone was $226,0O0 as
more than $4,000 tons of coal were
burned during this time.
This year the Duluth steam station
operated only during the first two
months, as due to the deep SHOWS of last
winter and the heavy rainfall since
then, there has been an ample supply
of all the water power needed.
While the board restored the full
dividend on the company's preferred
stock, no dividend was declared on the
company's common stock, on which nc
dividends have been paid since early
in 1882, and none can be paid until all
the back dividends on the preferred
stock have been paid in full. These
dividends in arrears on the company's
preferred stock amount to approx
mately $500 per share at the present
time, as only a one-aalf dividend was
paid on the preferred shares, beginning
July 1, 1888 and continuing until July
l., 1894 when this was increased to
three quarters, and this rate has been
maintained until the present time.
OF it's $4,000 preferred stockholders,
some IL, 900 reside in the territory served
by the company. Payment of the divi-
dend for the present quarter on the
company's preferred stock, at the full
rate, will be made on October first, next.

not exceed ten dollars. The proposal
does not apply to individuals obtaining
minnows for their own use.
Attempting to avert recurrence Of
last winter when deep snow took a
heavy toll of deer because of lack of
food, the suggestion was made that the
state buy all cedar swamps in the deer
area and maintain them for winter
feed for the animals. A halt in pro-
miscuous logging of cedar swamps for
commercial use was also recommended
and the suggestion made that civilian
conservation workers refrain from cut
ting young cedar growths in thinning
operations. The cedar, authorities said,
was the main source of winter feed for
deer.
Considering the few fish caught dur
ing the winter, the club went on rec
ord favoring the opening of all lakes
in this area for winter fishing. Last
year BURNSIDE. Armstrong and White
Iron lakes were closed for winter fish
ing.
voicing strong protest against the
late opening of the duck season in this
area, which if effective, will be the
same as a closed season because of eli
matte conditions, the local group joined
other sportsmen's organizations of the
state in a recommendation to the fed
|eral government to zone this state in
a separate unit with an earlier OPEN
ing date. The suggestion is made that
the season be opened on October l.
but not later than October 10. The law
now effective places the opening date
as noon of October 81.
