The farmer liv- ing on the road would have to pay a little more and the farmer two miles back a little less. In the town of Grant Valley, the average assessed value of a forty is $1.60. The Dunn amendment then increases the state tax on this forty from $.04 to $.16 per year. The proportionate cost of the Duluth-St. Vincent road is the same so that to the Grant Valley farmer who owns 160 acres and lives one mile off the main road the increase in taxes the first five years will be $1.43 and for the next fifteen years $1.69. The road enters the county at the junction point of sections 31 and 32 town of Frohn, and runs north to the corner of 17, 18, 19 and 20; turns west to the village of Nymore; fol- lows the road into Bemidji; runs out Fourth street along the south side of sections 12, 11, 10 and 9 town of Grant Valley; turns north one mile at the corner of sections 9, 8, 16 and 17, and thence runs through the town of Jones to the county line.

Ritchie, sporting editor of the Minneapolis Journal, tells the following story on Bill Rigg. Rigg is well known in Bemidji as he comes here regularly to sell his famous line of baking powder. Ritchie says that Rigg got the idea that he could call in ducks by using a phono- graph. “William sent to Camden, N. J., and purchased a recording attach- ment. ducks and finally succeeded in break- ing a wing on an old mallard and capturing him. Taking the irate duck up to his house, William thrust his head into the recording horn and started the machine. At intervals he slapped the old duck with a lath and the flood of duck language that flowed into the horn made glad the heart of William. When he had fin- ished and tried out the new record Then he went gunning for He successfully fought the express companies in the Sundberg cases which resulted in a general reduction of over fifteen percent and is an an- nual saving to consigners of over $20,000,000.

HIGHWAYS COST FARMERS LITTLE (Continued wrom first page). e area that to the one Individual it is merely a matter of cents. Many farmers have stated that they were opposed to the state road and also the Dunn amendment be- cause it meant added taxation for them. The Elwell law provides for the state roads but the Dunn amen- ment proposes to increase the state fund for roads from $300,000 to $1,200,000 a year by increasing the tax from one-quarter to one mill. With the Dunn amendment to quad- ruple the state fund, under the Elwell law can go ahead four times as fast. given year they can build four times the amount or road. According to the books in the aud- itor’s office, the average assessed value of forty acre tract in the town of Frobhn is $140. At present the owner pa¥s one-fourth of one mill state road and bridge tax. On such a forty the tax would be $.04. The Dunn amendment proposes to in- crease this tax to one mill which on such a forty would amount to $.14 per year. The amount on one farm is so small that it figures down to cents. Granting that the Duluth-St. Vincent road is built through here next year and that the Dunn amend- ment passes Tuesday, the average farmer who lives one mile back from that roed and who owns 160 acres will have an increase in taxation of the workers | That is, in a/ He believes in and will work for the iniative, referendum and recall, uresidential primaries, direct elec- tion of United States senators, and other progressive legislation which will give the people direct control of the law. BAG FORTY-TWO DUCKS A. H. Jester and Clyde Bacon drove to Mud Lake Wednesday and upon reaching there found the lake covered with ice. This, however, did not discourage them, so they drove across country to Rice Lake, where they found the lake fairly covered. Although they had but a few hours of shooting, they returned with for- ty-two mallards and bluebills. These crack shots of Bemidji sportsman and seldom come back empty hand- ed. TURTLE RIVER. Mrs. John Dale, who has made her home in Bemidji the past sum- mer, has moved to Turtle River to live during the winter. J. 8. Wheeler is at Cass Lake, where he is doing carpenter work.

Paquin will again take charge of his barber shop. it sounded like a regular suffragette collection of ducks in conference. “Taking the new record and the machine out to his favorite duck blind in Dirty Squaw lake, William sat down with his shot gun across his knees and waited for ducks to come in. He set out decoys and whenever a string of the transients appeared on the horizon William put on a loud needle, wound up the ma- chine and filled the hills with duck squawks and calls. “But it didn’t work. The ducks merely rose higher and higher and went south like a man beating it in front of a fellow who wants to borrow ten dollars. Baffled and somewhat surprised he went back to the camp to wait until the morrow. He tried it every day for a week and didn’t get a shot at a duck and never found out until Saturday night just before he had come home what was the matter. Then an old guide two men are considered among the] came in, and Bill, to amuse him, started the machine and explained how the calls of the duck had failed to lure the birds as hoped. “The guide listened gravely to the whole record and then laughed. “‘By gar, jess soon wave red flag at duck,’ remarked Plerre. ‘Das no duck call he-drake make for you. Das drake as make record call you every bad name duck can know and duck he know a lot. He hollerin’ for all ducks get de blazes out o° here. He say you are a boom and a loafaire an’ that comin’ duck better flap hees tail an’ beit it fas’. ‘Stead of calling duck has been givin’ alarm to all ducks in state to get out. He what you call twice-cross you an’ you not only spoil duck shoot for yourself, but you suckaire, you spoil it for all French boys and fellows what got sense enough to sit an’ keep still when birds comin’ in.’ “Then William tumbled. The duck, under his larruping persuasion had given a general alarm, and instead of drawing them in to the gun, William Mr.|had shagged them clear to Towa. “There is & cheap phonograph for sale by application to one Willlam J.
