The board of county commissioners held their semi-annual meeting on Monday, July 12, aod several matters of minor importance were disposed of. A contract was let forthe construc- tion of county road No. 52, which is aroad running from Swan River to Feeley. The board of commissioners will meet in the commissioners’ rooms as the board of equalization on Monday, July 19. After the various bills against the county had been disposed of the commissioners ad- journed uatil their next regular meet- ing, which will be held on Thursday, July 22. WATER TOO LOW FOR NAVIGATION Steamer Oriole Tied Up at Aitkin Wharf—River Gauge Indicates One and a Half Feet The stage of waterin the Mississippi river at this point has fallen so low that the Mississippi Transportation Company have been compelled to tie up theirsteam-bouat, the Oriole, until conditions become more favorable, Says the Aitkih Independent. When the Oriole reached Crooked Rapids last Tuesday on her Swan River trip she encountered sucha shallow channel that Capt. Viebahn tied up there for the night, and by morniag the river having fallen still lower, he decided to abandon the trip, and with difficulty returned to Aitkin, where the boat nag since been tied up. The government guage at this place yesterday registered 1% feet, which is lower than for many years. Capt. Viebahn has applied to Major Shunk the army engineer at St. Paul, whois in charge of the government dams and reservoirs at the headwaters of the Mis: ispi, for sufficient water to be released at Pokegama dam to float his craft, but he has not receiv- ed much encouragement. SUPREME COURT KNOCKS OUT ACT “Pork Barrel’ Appropriation of $600,000 for Roads and Brid- ges Held to be Illegal The“ pork barrel’’ appropriation of $600,000 for roads and bridges was knocked out by the state supreme court last Friday in a unanimous de- cision, written by Chief Justice Charles M. Start. The decision of Judge H. R. Brill, of Ramsey county, is affirmed and the law is held to be unconstitutional. Many counties in Minnesota have already begun bridge work in antici- pation of getting the state money Aug. 1. Some provision will have to be made for payment on these con- tracts by local authorities. Chief Justice Start’s opinion finds that the mandamus action brought by Senator L. O. Cooke cau be maintained against State Auditor Iverson, in spite of the rule that the state can- not be sued, because courts have al- ways held that mandamus can be brought against an official to restrain him from a ministeral act. Healso holds that the appropriation is illegal, when taken from the state revenue fund, becauseof the constita- tional provision holding that the state cannot engage in works of in- ternal improvement. The claim of the attorney general that ‘‘inter- nal improvement” does not apply to roads is rejected. Under this decision the only aid the state can give to road making is through the road and bridge fund, which is provided for by the state. TAX COMMISSION AT GRAND RAPIDS Members Now Making Tour of Northern Counties to Investigate Values of Properties. The members of the state board of tax commissioners, consisting of Samuel Lord ,chairman; J. G. Arm- son and O. M. Hall, and Rukard Hurd, secretary, accompanied by F. A. wilds of Hibbing, who is connected with the state auditor’s office, were at Grand Rapids today. Tht tax com- mission is required to make a tour of at least half the counties of the state each year and this year they are examining the counties of north- ern Minnesota. Their last visit at Grand Rapids was made two years ago and the gentlemen expressed surprised and admiration at the man- ner in which Grand Rapids is forging to the front. They have been in- specting the various improvements that have been made on the mining properties around Hibbing and spent today in conference withCounty Aud- itor Spang. From here they will go to Bemidji and inspect Beltrami county tax affairs. The tax commission was created to take the place of the state board of equalization and the purpose of their visits to the various counties is to adjust the differences, if there be any, between the county and state WOULD ABANDON MARCELL BRANCH Minneapolis & Rainy River Railway Company Petition Railroad Commission.

COHASSET > CULLINGS | Boating, fishing and picnicing is fine pastime these days on Pokega- ma and other lakes hereabouts. Wild strawberries, raspberries andj. blue-berries are plentiful, and berry picking is the order of the day now. The lots for the site of a new Catholic Church in Cohasset have been selected in Riverside addition. Some fools are still setting fires in the woods, notwithstanding the unusually dry season. Mr. Lane is an experienced mill man, and intends to locate neay by with a plant of some description. Mrs. Mable Baker has bought lots in Riverside addition and will build a substantial residence on them. John Lane of Iron River, Wis., has bought lots in Riverside addition and will build several houses on them, one for himself and others to rent. The Woodenware company are now erecting a large saw mill near their factory and will begin operating it this fall. John Main’s saw mill is about com- pleted and some sawing is already being done. This mill intends to manufacture tamarack blocks for pavement. Some fine blooded cattle are com- ing into this district. E. L. Buck received a fine young sire of the Guernsey breed last week, from the pure blooded heard of Wood & Richardson of Mankato. Mr. Buck paid $350.00 for this animal, and has placed him on his farm at Pokega- ma Lake. The Village fire hose can now be connected with the pump on_ the steamer Undine which gives the fire department much better facili- ties for fighting fires, should any break out. The Undine can lay at anchor at various points along the river front and thus furnish water to cover most any fire. A large amount of cement sidewalk is being laid in Cohasset. Messrs. John Costello, Dunn & Marcia, Harry Jones, and E. L. Buck have all just completed new walks in front of their respective properties, J. H. Crouch, of Bemidji being the contractor. And now the same party will begin at once to construct walks in front of the residence of F. W. Stockwell, Carl Nelson, H. H. Carrier, W. W. Fletcher and Morris O’Brien. In this way the village is taking on city airs and demonstrates that Co- hasset is going to the front. Other improvements of this character, also some extensive street improvements, will shortly be made. Notice of Presentation of Petition for Judicial Highway.
