| A TALK WITH GOV. HUBBARD.
Gov Hubbard, in an interview in the mat
ter of the appointment of Mr.. Hospes as sur
veyor of logs and lumber for the st. Croix
district, made the following statement yes
terday afternoon:
Numerous statements have been made,
more or less contradictory, regarding the
saltwater lumbermen's board of trade. 1t
has been stated that many of the members
have no interest in the lumber
business, others a slight or remote
one, and also that nearly third
| Sixteen or thereabouts), of those present at
the meeting, joined that day for the purpose
of voting on the recommendation of sur
veyor general, and further that some large
| lumber interests we're not representa-
What the facts are in this regard / do not
pretend TO say. 1t was made evident that
there was a decided division of sentiment
among prominent lumbermen of the St.
CroiX district upon the question of a choice
of surveyor general. | promptly stated to
all parties who conferred with me upon the
subject, that l was disposed to appoint the
man who should seem to be sup
ported by those representing a majority
interest Of the lumber business of the dis
trict. From the best information | have
been able TO obtain, | am satisfied that Mr.
Hospes has larger endorsement of that char
acter than any other candidate. While Mr.
McKusic has substantial backing, and Mr.
Deregish also has friends among the lum Der
men. the expression, so far as IL has reached
me, Is as | have stated. There does not
seem to be any particular advantages as re-
CARDS the qualifications upon the part OF
either candidate, the friends Of each conced-
ing, 5elive, the fitness of the others.
| will add that MIR. Hospes is an old SOL
dier of the First Minnesota regiment, who
served through the war; which is n subtantial
consideration in his favor, questions of
character aud qualifications being equal.
The following of mills in the district and
their capacity, and also number OF logs
scaled during the season of 1884, and the
| preferences Of their owners for surveyor
general will substantiate the conclusion ex-
! pressed above. The statistics of these state
ments have been verified by Jno. S. Proctor,
the present surveyor general. The parties
favoring Mr.. Hospes have generally writ
ten letters expressing their preference.
Some have indicated 1t by personal state
mcnt, as have also several who favor Mr..
| McKusick. There are seventeen mills on the
81. CrOix lake and river with saving capac-
| ity of 1874, 900, 600 feet. OF these eleven with a
capacity of 1875, 600, 900 feet favor Hospes as
