Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Lack of Snow. The almost entire failure of snow thus late in the season is causing considerable anxiety and some loss. The logger, particu- larly the small logger, depends upon a good fall of snow to get his logs to the dumping grounds, while in this country, good sled- ding means that the farmer will bring large quantities of wood to market. Thus the lack of snow is immediately felt by all classes. Even a light fall of snow' would wonderfully stimulate business. It is the small logger, however, that suffers the most severely. He cannot well bear the expense of iced roads and depends almost entirely upon snow to get his logs to their destination. Even the work of the big logging camps is much facilitated by an occasional light fall of snow, keeping the roads clean and slippery. A good fall of snow would put more dollars into the pockets of Northern Minnesota than any other single thing just now. Local Taxation. As shown by the figures pre- sented by the Pioneer, the bur- denof local taxa’o‘ion is a heayy one and because of the newness of Beltrami county it must be a heavy one for some years to come. Beltrami county is devel- oping rapidly, new school houses are needed, town halls must be built, good roads are imperative, ditches must be dug. All these things were done by our fathers and our grandfathers in older settled counties -but here we must do them ourselves, and while it is no more than right that a portion of the burden should be borne by our posterity, it is nevertheless a fact that the greater part of the cost of these pressing improvements must be raised by immediate taxation. It is therefor gratifying to know that the valuation of the county is rapidly increasing, and that while thereis need for large sums to make the needed im- provements we are daily growing more and more able to pay these sums. IT SEEMS, according to the courts, that the state has no claim against Congressman Buckman for timber trespass. Let us see, wasn’t this matter of timber trespass settlements one of the things which made R. C. Dunn ‘‘unfit’”’ to be governor? Timber settlements may be des- perately wicked, but judging from the actions thus far decided in the courts, itis only through a settlement that the state can recover anything. THE Hennepin county delega tion is solidly for Gilfillan for senator—at least the Minneapolis papers say so. It is noticeable- that the members of the delega- tion donot say so. Perhaps they want to be free to swing to the real Hennepin county candidate, Thomas Lowry, if the proper time can be made to come. THE appointment of Professor W. M. Hays of the Minnesota agricultural school as assistant secretary of agricultureis natur- ally gratifying to the people of anesom Mr. Hays, himself, deserves the appointment by reason of the work that he has done, and Minnesota likewise de- serves the honor by reason of her contributions to the science of agriculture. The Minnesota Pillsbury’s Best ” Sets the Pace for Flour Excellence the world over. W. G.
