Lindauer's Eishtieth Anniversary
Recalls Early History or Laurel

Of the 18, one was the Fenton
home, then located on the east side
of what is now First avenue be-
tween East Main street and East
First street. 1t now stands on the
northwest corner of First avenue
and West Fourth street.
There was a Congregational
church that also had been moved

one was owned by Archie Taylor
and the other by o. C. Bundy and

LAUREL OUTLOOK

(The information contained in
the following is from Mrs. Car
RE Lindauer.)
G. F. Lindauer celebrated his
eightieth birthday Nov. 27. In the
evening some of his old friends
dropped in and talked OF old times.
He decided he was almost a pio-
neer.
AS a young man of 35 he came
TO Billings in June 1906 and to
Laurel in July of that year, work
ing for F. w. Schauer west of
town. September found him in Lau-
rel because of negotiations then in
progress between the Northern Pa
cific and L. A. Nutting for the
purchase of Nutting's ranch prop
erty on which the railway wished
to construct a roundhouse, car
shops, and railroad yards.
At the time there were 18
houses in Laurel, seven of which
were practically new. One of these
is the present home of Mrs. Carrie
E. Erb and was the ranch home of
E. B. Camp, which had been pur-
chased for the townsite. At least
six houses had been moved in from
the old townsite, a mile west of
Laurel.

Dry Cleaning
Of Home Fabrics

There are many items in addi-
ton to the garments we wear that
can and should be dry-cleaned reg
ularly, such as: drapes, cushion,
upholstery covers, lamp shades,
small mats and rugs and many
others.
Your dry cleaning establishment
can advise you in this connection
as to whether your home fabrics
will clean satisfactorily, and if so
will gladly give you estimates on
the work you wish done.
Keep your house as smart look
ing as your clothes. Not only is it
more pleasing to the eye and of
great Importance in the impression
that you make with others, but it
is also the economical way too.
An unclean drape or rug will not
last as long as a clean one for
this reason. Dust clings to the nap
of the cloth because of an oily acid.
Wherever there is smoke present
in the air so is this acid that is
responsible for reducing the wear
of the fabric into which it becomes
embodied.
You will notice as you walk
down a busy thoroughfare in an
industrial area how the stonework
on the various buildings are pitted
and marred by this acid.

If YOU AGREE that Minnesota taxpayers
should be treated alike, you may be surprised to
learn how differently they ARE treated.
Take property taxes. Like you, the iron ore pro-
ducers pay general property tax. But what differ
ence in assessment Minnesota farm-homesteads are
assessed at 20 Of full and true value farm lands at
33h% industrial real estate at 409. But iron ore is
assessed at 5O%. 80.
1913 ore property taxes were $13,25O,OO0. Now
it's true that the bill HAS run even higher: in
1921, for instance, some SIS million. Why did the
dollar yield drop? Simply because, since 1921,
America has used up most of the highvalue iron
ore then in the ground. Actually, because the mill
rate has risen sharply, the BURDEN of ore
property taxes is far heavier than ever.
Take another kind Of iron ore tax-occupation and
royalty taxes In 1921 the rate was 3d. and the
amount paid to Minnesota $2200000 In 1913 the rate
was ~ Git is 12T) the amount paid for 1913
for royalty and occupation taxes alone, $13600000.
In contrast, other Minnesota industries paid cor
porate income tax at a rate OF SAY to 6@O.)
OF course the iron ore producers know full well
that Minnesota looks to them for substantial tax
revenues. But HOW SUBSTANTIAL can they be?
Today this industry Is at the crossroads. Its
future-alOng with the taxes IL can pay and the
number of people Ii can emplOy-depends upon
the costly development Of lOw-grade and tacOnite
ores. And the tax treatment the iron ore industry
now gets will naturally help shape this future.
Why we publish these facts
We of the iron ore industry want to stay in Mime
sota-permanenty.
We want to insure the future of Minnesota's iron
wealth by investing the millions Of dollars needed
to hasten development Of lowgrade and taconite
We want to help make possible for the people Of
Minnesota to enjoy greater benefits from this
expanded industry-both in dollars and jobs-for
many generations to come.
. We publish these facts that matter who you
are, where you live, what you do for living, you
may rest assured that
A FAIR DEAL FOR MINNEsoTA's IRON ORE MEANS
A GOOD DEAL FOR you
