In an interview with Auditor Beery on Monday in regard to the economical manner in which the county govern- ment is being conducted, he replied that the county commissioners and his office has the interest of the taxpay- ers at heart and do not shoulder a burden of taxes on them in the man- agement of the county. The state board of equalization raised the valu- ation of the real estate made by the county commissioners 15 per cent. From the above tabulation of levies it will be noted that the highest levy made by the county is for roads, and keep in mind with this included, the taxes are less for the maintenance of Grant county than they were in 1918. Everyone knows that money spent on bridges and roads casts a reflective | value on real estate, and the county has something to show in the way of an improvement. { Despite the fact that all improve- ments on farm property have been removed from the assessment rolls, allowed to drain, placed in a box coy- ered with a moist cloth and allowed to germinate for five to seven days.

Father Louis Hennepin, Franciscan missionary, wrote in 1679 of a “cole” mine in Illinois, a map of which he drew. This mine was above Fort |Crevecour, near the present site of Ottawa. v It was not until 1759 that coal came into general use and it was nearly years later before coal mined in rginia was shipped north, where ‘During the revolutionary war coal was used for the first time in a manu- ham, Va., in the making of shot and shell. During the late world war the price of coal attained its highest mark. in the hills, has no troops in the town the army depending upon an occasion- al patrol to keep in touch with events. The American summoned the Gemeindevorstaher, or chief official of the town, who informed the officer that this was the third attempt of the “Frohsinnists” to rule the village and mittee that would have charge of the that the action was directed against the Catholic priest for whom the young men had pronounced a dislike. The American officer summoned the executive council of. the society, pro- vided them with pick and shovel and had them dig up the flag pole, amid the applause of the conservative ele- ment of the village. He instructed the burgomaster to withhold until further notice any authorization for meetings of the “Hilarity,” gave the executive council a dressing down and instructed the one German policeman to patrol Luetz at all hours on Sundays when most political meetings are held. Each member of the “executive council” promised to be good here- after and none of the society members were arrested. They agreed that the American had convinced them that “revolution” did not pay. The rev- olution had lasted six hours.
