On the front page o' the Herald-Review 1s a business pro- position by the Itasca Mercantile company that should attract the atten- tion of every 1eader of this paper. Manager Dickinson has long since es- tablished his reputation‘as a man who absolutely makes good every statement made to the public through the medt- um of the press. His personal honor as well as business reputation depends upon the faithfulness with which he fulfills his ofters to the trade. When he advertises that the Itasca store 1s making reductions 1n the price of cer- tain goods, and states what that re- duction is, you may be sure that the offer will‘be made good to the last cent, The Itasca coupon advertisement in this issue really means a great deal to the trading public. The amount that the average family can save by taking adyantage of the liberal discounts offered 1s no small sum in the matter of household economy. As _ will be noted, the sale starts on Monday next. Here is an extract from the published advertisement: “Every coupon here printed is worth something to seme one. ‘They all tell of merchandise that can be bought at this sale, at less than regular prices. Cut out the cou- pon that interests you, bring it to the store and pocket the savings. Posi- tvely no goods sold at these prices without the coupons. We want to know how many read our advertise— ments and the coupons will tell the story. Don’t forget to bring the cou- pons.” Remember to take along the coupons as pmnted in this issue of the Herald-Review. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ISSUED. “Pine Needles” is the title of a sixty-page annual just issued by the Grand Rapids High school. The publication is profusely illustrated with beautiful halftone cuts, representing many scenes in and about Grand Rapids, pictures of the graduat ulty, school buildings, etc. It con- tains a large amount of useful and in- teresting reading matter relating tu ed- ucational subjects, and also essays by the graduating pupiis, and many pa- pers that combine to make it one of the most useful publications ever is- sued ia Grand Rapids. Next week the Herald—Review. will give a more extended review of the work. _The entire tssue has been turned over to C. H. Dickinson at the Itasca Mercantle store, where copies will be for sale at 50 cents each. There o— be no trouble finding sale for t S unequal taxes being had may be ac- credited to the taxpayers themselves. ‘The first matter in the making of ap assessment is the election by the people of the assessors, and we find that itis the prevaling custom for the taxpayers to furget there is such an Official as an assessor, and when they choose one they vote fur anyone who seems to want the jub. Fitness and qualification counts for naught; the office is awarded to whomsoever willtake it. Hence it is that in some towns the valuation of farm lands-and what is communly called cut-over lands will be placed at $15.00 per acre, while the assessor of another town will place a valuation of $4.00 upon land which has an equal market value as those placed at $15 per acre. ‘This same discrepancy will appear in all parts of the county, and perhaps will be more noticable in the valu- atioas placed upon village lots. Grand Rapids will probably be assessed more justly in proportion to the value of the lots than other platted lands, but itis only reason- able to supose that Mr. Huntly will not materially lower the average yaluations of our village property. But in other places we will find when the rolls are turned into the county auditor’s hands, that the valuations placed upon the lots are not in com- parison with these of the lots of this village. For instance, if we are to judge by the past, we will find that the lots that cannot be bought in the village of International Falls for $3,500 will be assessed. for about one- third of the amount that lots that can be bought for $1000 in this village will be listed at. This has been the prevailing custom for years, and there is no reason to suppose that a Moses will arise in each of the several villages and relieve us of this unequality of assessment. Grand Rapids bas been proclaimed from every housetop in our neighboring villages as being a *‘hog,” and in the matter of paying taxes we certainly have been hoggish. We have paid at least treble the taxes upon our prv- perty that lands of equal and greater yalue have been called upon to con- tribute to the county coffers. We do not claim that the valuations of our property has been placed too high, | but we do assert that like property iu other parts of the county have been assessed ridiculously low, making the tter of taxation most glaringly unfair to us. We believe that this is one of the evils that ought to be edied, and would ugeest tf the is edition © from open pits after many million yards of overburden have been re- moyed from the ore deposits; the re= mainder,lyiag deeper, will be mined by the underground system, and in both cases, because of the presence of sand in quantity, it will doubtless be necessary to treat a considerable por- tion of the producd vy the washing process, adding to working forces and increasing mining costs. Shafts are sinking, costly plants of machirery are being installed and in general plans are being carried out for many years of large annual production. ‘Thousands of men,the best class of la- bor procurable, will ultimately beem- ployed inthe mines about Coleraine, and in town now being built they will enjoy a model place of residence which in its advantages and environ" Mments is expected to go along ways in solving the sociological problem and making of the miners and their fami- lies better citizens. A liberal policy has been adopted with reference to the sale of building lots and further pro- vision has been made to convert into the municipal treasury the proceeds of these sales, out ot which will be met the cost of sewerage, water, and light systems and other improvements of public nature. he erection of build- ings will not be permitted until the plans therefor have been approved by the companys’engiueering department and speculation in realty within the city limits will be discouraged. Sa- loons will be permitted to flourish but they will be limited in number and will be compelled to bow to certain re- strictions with reference to closing hours and the sale of liquor itself. A start has been made on the construc- tion of the school house which it is un= derstood will cost in the neighborhood of $75,000, and it is the reported inten- tion of the company to erect a $40,000 office building. It has only been within recent years that the presence of vast deposits of ore on the Western Mesaba has actu- ally been determined, and there is no* question now that the formation ex- tends acruss the Mississipi river fur a considerable ance. Drillshave been at work in this territory for some time past for the Steel corporation aad other 1uterests, and while the ore thus far fuund is largely low in metallic iron, enough is already kuown of the country toassure that in years tocome ‘it will be the scene of insportant min- ing operations. Exploration has been difficult and of necessity has been con ducted rather blindly, for the reason that, contrary to the case in other districts tributary to Lake Superior, outcroppings are lacking, drift cover- ing the formation to such a depth as tw obliterate surface ijuaicatious of, the presence of ore. wag goguens DEFECTIVE PAGE
