And this is as plausible story as any he

Minneapolis Shows Her Teeth and Presents
an Impediment-Five Year Contract Made
for Operating the st. Paul Boom.
There was quite a lively meeting of the ST.

DR.. Chute, Richard Chute, James Loveioy and
stephen Lovejoy appeared in behalf of the
Minneapolis Boom company. The Minneapolis
company declared their intention to levy toll
of 30 cents per 1000 feet for allowing the logs
to pass through the river. They claimed that
it would cost that amount to sort the logs in
their boom.
st. Paul squarely notified them that she
would pay no such tribute. 1t was not only
unjust, but illegal, as the river Is highway.
and as to sorting the logs, the st. Paul COM
pany declared its ability to do that work indie
pendent of the Minneapolis Boom company,
each one taking care of their own. The de-
mand and refusal We're very emphatic. and
Minneapolis put on her wraps and went ont

In view of the fact that the Founder of the

another meeting and made contract with

pany, to operate the st. Paul boom for FIVE
years. These gentlemen are building the boom.
