By the Rules and Regulations all members of the Grand Army of the Republic are directed to observe June 14th as Flag Day. 1n 1908 June 4th occurs on Suaday. While I can not conceive that the display of the Stars and Stripes, the emblem of “that rightousness which exalted a Nation,” could in any way be regard- ed us adesecration of the Sabbath, still, out of deference for the opinion of those who may possible think oth- erwise, I request that the comrades observe Saturday, the 13th.

They came to the county seat to get the supplies necessary for the work to be done and to receive instructions as to the manner in which property should be assessed. They were an intelligent lot of citizens, many of whom had Two Dollars a Year. much per acre throughout a town- ship, but each tract should be valued seperately. Improvements upon the land should be assessed seperately from the iand. Improvements con- sist of building and permanent struct- ures on the land. This applies to town and city lots as well as farm property. Incorporated banks in the state are to be assessed according to section 48, tax code. Many private banking con- cerns have been incorporated since the last assessment and will come under the assessment method describ- ed in section 48, of the tax code. Shares ef stock in all corporations, whether domestic or foreign, when the property of the corporation is not assessed in this state, should be list- ed and assessed to the owner thereof.

Grand Rapids may well congratulate her- self on having this honor bestowed on her high school, yet the credit is largely due to the hearty support given the local schools by the citizens and the generous interest manifested by the board of education. We quote the tollowing from the report of this association of schools and colleges:=“The Association is very conservative, believing that such action will eventually work to the highest interests of the schools and the Association. It aims to accredit only those schools which possesses organization, teaching force, stand- ards of scholarship, equipment, esprit de corps, etc., of such character as will unhesitatingly commend them to any educator, college or university in the North Central territory.” Try a want ad. in the Herald-Re- view, : served as assessors in former years.

Particular attention was called to the following vital suggestions in the making of assessments: lt is of the greatest importance that the assessor should place all property, both real and personal, .up- on the assessment books. The assessor should actually view all property so far as possible. He should not accept the valuation placed upon it by the owner, but should make his own yaluation. The assessor cannot deduct debts from credits unless the person claim- ing the same shall make an affidavit required by law. Assessors have no authority to grant the $100 exemption.

QOME STIR IN LOCAL POLITICS Jesse Harry, Chief of Police, is Re- publican Candidate for Sheriff. PRATT WOULD BE COUNTY ATTORNEY Will File for Republican Nomination —Frank F. Price May be Dem- ocratic Nominee—Mayor Riddell Also Talked of. Local politics is picking up a bit. Soon the campaign will be on in dead ernest and the woods will be full of candidates. The latest filing is that of Chief of Police Harry, of Grand Rapids, for the office of sheriff on the Republican ticket. He made the fil- ing yesterday with Auditor Spang, and may be regarded as an active candidate for the nomination from now on, As head of the Grand Rapids police department during the past five years, Mr. Harry has made an excellent reputation as a peace officer. He has also served as deputy under ex-Sheriff Tyndall and has been one of Sheriff Hoolihan’s able deputies during his incumbency in office and has acquitted himself in a manner that leads his friends to look upon him as a strong candidate be- fore the voters of the county. He has resided in this county for twenty years and no man has a wider ac- quaintance. He has many friends here and in other sections of the county who will regard him as a sure winner and who will‘work hard for his success. There are now three candidates before the Republican primaries for this office--T. T. Riley of Nashwavk, who is especially strong in the range towns, and Wa, Hulburt of Deer River. Mayor George Riddell of Grand Rapids is a Much talked of candidate for the Democratic nomination for sheriff, and we have frequently heard the name of O. E. Moore of Deer River in connection with the shrievalty nomination. Chester L. Pratt announces his in- tention to become a candidate on the Republican ticket for the office of county attorney. In a letter to the Herald-Review Mr. Pratt says: “I am after the county attorneyship this year again; the seven years L served heretofore in that office ap- pears to me now not enough. U'll be fifty years old this fall, and have been practicing law since my twenty-first birthday, eighteen of those years in this county. Do you know any reason why I should not go after \t and lard it? If you do, speak now or forever hold your peace.’’ Frank F. Price has a host of friends in both the Democratic and Republi- can parties of the county who have urged him to become a candidate on the Democratic ticket, but up to the present time he has not filed for the nomination. W. A. Rossman, who is the present assistant county attorney, has also received consideration in connection with the office at the com- ing election. Attorneys Bither of Boyey and Geer of Coleraine are like- wise reported to be receptive candi- dates. Morris O’Briea has not yet ex- pressed his willingness to be a candi- date for re-election to the office of county commissioner, but if general sentiment is a safe indication he will not meet with much serious opposi- tion, ard the same is true of commis- sioners Mullins and King. Frank Caldwell, Sr., of Big fork was ip town the other day and filed asa candidate before the Democratic primaries for the office of commis- sioner from district No. 1. Great Minstrel Performance.
