On Wednesday afternoon of this | week the board of county commis- sioners met in speci.l session in the guditor’s office at the court house. ‘There were four members present— verton, Fuller, Leeman and Myers, hairman Rellis being detained in Swan River as deputy postmaster. In the absence of the permanent chairman, Mr, Fuller was chosen to temporarily preside. In that capacity he discharged the duties of his office | m.a_ business-like manner. A large} ‘amount of routine matters pertaining to taxes and bills were carefully con- sidered and passed upon. Chair- mau Rellis was present at the ‘Thurs- day meéting but did not preside as he was forced to return home on the 2.50 train in the afternoon. ‘The financial statement was presented by Auditor Farrell and received signatures of the board, which confirmed its. accuracy, and was ordered published. As some parties who were interested, question- edthe permanent legality of the desig- nation of the official newspaper for the ensuing year, a resolution was offered confirming the action taken by the board at the regular January meeting and authorizing the county auditor, on behalf of Itasca county, to enter into a contract with the publisher of the Grand Rapids Herald-Review for the publication of the financial state- ment, proceedings of the board, notices and all matters required by-law to be published, at the maxmium price allowed by law. ‘The resolution was promptly carried, and the Herald-Re- view will continue to be the official paper of this county for the year 1899. The former designation was sufficient, but to obviate the possibility or any future litigation the commis- sioners preferred to protect the tax- payers against any unnecessary ex- penses. The full official proceedings will appear in the next issue of the Herald-Review. Itis quite apparent that the present board will prove sausfactory to the people. For once we can fully agree with the Magnet when that paper says: “As it is now made up it 1s undoubtedly the best the county ever had and the people! may expect good service at its hands” There is. evidently a firm purpose to transact the public business in a man- ner that will meet with general appro- bation from the taxpayers of the county.. Chairman Rellis is a men of much experience in public life, a good par- limentarian and possessed of an inde- Com- a shrewd business tinction between yes and no, mission Fuller is man who well understands the needs of the county, and _ his general know- ledge will make him a valuable and trustworthy member. C. E. Leeman may always be depended upon to know just where he is at before he votes. He is not a man who will listen to every petitioner with a request for favors, but willy’ act’ as his judgment and _— conscience dictates. He will be known as the “kicker”—and a “kicker” is a mighty valuable clement in all legislative bodies. © W. E. Myers, who success- fully contested the seat held by A. E. Wilder from the Second district, starts out to discharge his official duties in a way that. makes it appar- ent that he will be a bad man for coiruptionists to trifle with. Billy will always do what he believes to be right, and in addition to that he will give all questions ample consideration before taking action. Warren Ever- ton, the representative from District No. 1, hasan immense territory to look after and his constituency will require no small amount of attention during the next two years in the matter of road building and other public improvements. Settlement by farmers in his district is rapidly in- creasing and better facilities for travel is absolutely necessary, He will finda shortage of county funds aud a big demand from the settlers. Butit is safe to say that in the end Mr. Everton will give a good account of his stewaidshp. His long resi- dence in this county and his know- ledge of the treasury will enable nm to.act wisely and ai the same time; secure all possible for the people whom he represents. Commissioner Everton is, one of the ablest members of the present board.- Auditor Farrell handles the business of his office with a degree of profficien- cy that would do credit to one of many years’ experience. He prompt- ly mastered the details of his work and is prepared at all.times to answer questions pertaining to records. His tax list and financial statement are the most complete documents ever pre- pared in this county. ‘iiax judgments will be good on the list published _ to- day, and it is the first correct list ever printed in Itasca county. The next special meeting is called for March 15.

Aldermanic candidates are being discussed and a number of possibilities are being urged to become village fathers. Recorder F. A. King will have a walkaway for re-election if he desires it, as will also Alderman J. F. O’Connell. President Trainor positively refuses to be re- elected. He says that he 1s now per- fectly willing to permit someone else to stand the kicking for a while. Clerk of Court Rassmussen has been mentioned for the :position. If he should decide to make the run he would be a hard man to defeat. Land- lord D’Anjou of the French House, has been urged to become a candidate for alderman. He has not yet decid- ed whether to submit or not, but his popularity would surely result in his election should his name be placed upon the ticket. C.H. Seelye and and John Hepfel are also among those urged to represent the village onthe council A few days more and the campaign will become warm, A Valuavle Reference Work. The Year Book and Almanac issued by the Globe Company, of St. Paul, isthe best work of the kind which has come to our notice. Complete in every particular, it combines history and facts, statistics and general in- formation, properly classified and in- dexed ia a manner which permits of instant reference. The statistics are most complete and admirably arranged for intelligent understand- ing. Sixty pages of the 900 which this wonderful book contains are de- voted to Minnesota, and the political information is the most comprehen- sive and valuable ever pnblished in the state. We bespeak for this work the consideration of every intelligent person in the state, and we can say without hesitancy that itis valuable alike to merchant, farmer. mechanic, sportsman or politician. The price of the book is cents, mailed any- where, and, considering the amount of information it contains, it is worth fully three times that amouut. Elsewhere in this issue will be founda serial story by the pen of County Auditor Farre]l entitled “Delinquent Tax List, Being a List of Taxes Delinquent Upon Real Pro- perty in and For the County of Itasca, Minnesota, for the Year A. D. 1897, ‘Together With the Penalty and Costs Accrued Thereupon.” Attached thereto is/an preface by Clerk of Court Rassmussea, wherein in a few, briefsentences he informs the owuers of the sundry parcels of land com- prising the list that he has entered judgmefft against the said parcels for the amount of taxes delinquent upon the same together with the penalty and costs thereupon. We soon be recomménd a careful perusal of the story by the taxpayers. -
