GREAT PINE WEALTH.
The Virgin Treasure in Northern
Minnesota.

Washington Special.
For several years number Of million
aire lumbermen In Minnesota and Can
ada have been trying to get at the mag
nifcent pine land tract on the Red Lake
Indian reservation in Minnesota. This
Red Lake Indian reservation is the most
remarkable piece of country in the
United States. 1t is the only virgin
tract of land on this continent. 1t has
never been coded by its Indian Occu-
pants to anybody and its title remains
tO-day,eXactly what it was when De Soto
discovered the Mississippi. The entire
ervati0n, as estimated by expert lumber
prospectors, Is put at not less than
S30,000,000. This pine stands on the
watershed between this country and the
British possessions. A chip thrown into
the streams on one side would float
down to the Gulf of Mexico, or if a
Whit of wind started it in a slightly
different direction might finally reach
the Gulf of st. Lawrence. For ten years
bills have been introduced to get rid OF
the Red Lake Indians. If any one
of them had passed the 2,400 or $500
ChippewaS could have been educated
like lords and fitted out with firSt-claSS
farms, blooded horses and cattle, and
supplied with white servants to do their
drudgery. But every time congress has
come anywhere near passing these bills
something has interfered. This session
a more determined effort than ever is
being made to steal this Indian pine.
knute Nelson has introduced q bill ask
ing for charter and right of way for
the Duluth. Rainy Lake River & South
western railway, to run from the head
of Lake Superior to the Red River of
the North, cutting across that vast in
land forest. The preteXt for the road is
that the immense wheat crop of Dakota
requires this outlet, while the vast de-
posts of iron along the roadway justify
its construction. The real object of the
bill is to drive the Red Lake Indians out
of the country. The Indian has to re-
tire before the railroad, and with the
Duluth and Rainy Lake road projected
the Red Lake Chippewas would in ali
probability in few years be transferred
to the Turtle Mountain reservation in
Dakota, or else narrowed down to few
hundred farms around the White Earth
agency. while the rich pine land thieves
would gobble up the millions of lumber
on their reservation. The next step in
this programme is the introduction of a
bill proposing to sell this timber by some
sort of hOcuS-pOcuS apprOiSement and
public auction

prominent men of the stat,
are present and taking par
in the proceedings. H. ID. Sherman
state dairy commissioner, occupied
most OF the forenoon in a lengthy ad
dress, taking for his subject, Cheese
He claimed three-fourths of the cheese
consumed in Iowa was produced out
side of the state, coming principally
from New York, Ohio, Illinois and Wis
consin. He did not know. taking into
consideration the cheapness of our
land and its productiveness of the
best and most succulent grasses, why
was there any good reason why Iowa
should not produce all she required for
her consumption? Iowa was capable of
producing more cheese than any state
In the union. Most of the cheese shipped
In from abroad was skimmed-miIk
cheese, made from centrifugal separ-
ated milk and cheap deodorized butter
that would take cast iron stomach
to digest. The average price of
milk at the creameries in Iowa
was, the past year, 20 cents per hundred
pounds, while milk made into cheese
would average so cents after deducting
boxing and marking the cheese. and
that the cheese factories paid an aver
age dividend of % per cent above butter
factories. There are 1,243. 900 COWS in
Iowa; there were produced sc, OOO, 900
pounds of butter i'll Iowa the past year,
which sold sold at an average price of
20 cents, which brOugh to the state
17,200,000. The value of stock in Iowa
is more than the capital of all the
national banks in the United States.
The afternoon session was occupied
mostly by local farmers upon themes
interesting and instructive. In the even
lngl large gathering assembled to
hear President Chamberlain, of the
state agricultural college, one of the
most learned men of the country, on the
theme of the Worlds Workers." He
took the ground that it was not true the
farmers and laDorers hold up the world
on their shoulders. That the farmer
was not the only producer, that there
were many branches of productive in
dustry that the world cannot do with
out. He showed that skilled labor was
the main factor in commercial values.

airy.
Columbus. (O.) Special.
The charge is made, and so far has
not been denied by the Ohio peniten-
tiary authorities, that E. l.. Harper, the
convicted vice president of the defunct
Fidelity bank, in addition to the other
unusual privileges enjoyed by the dis
tinguished prisoner in his alleged con-
finement, is engaged in operating a
bucketlshop in Cincinnati. and daily
makes deals in the Chicago market. 1t
is alleged that so successful has Harper
been in some of his dealings that he has
turned several thousand dollars within
the last two weeks. 1t is incredible
that such a condition OF affairs should
be allowed to exist in this institution,
yet the unheard-of privileges so far al
lowed Harper lend an air of certainty
to the matter that otherwise would not
emerge from the vision of imDrobabllity.
He has plenty of time and numerous
opportunities to carry on the business
of dealing in the Chicago market, and,
no doubt, is making use of the excellent
business talent that he is universally
credited with.

time are to ret the DrinciDai

twenty-five years, and at the end of that
time are to get the principal.
This time Limitation Is the feature
which SITTING BULL and his brave
chiefs strenuously oppose. 1t would
bring the payment of sum in compari-
son with which their share of the
annual interest would be insignifi-
cant at time when they might
reasonably expect to be roaming around
i'll the happy hunting grounds. They
have no desire to permit their descend
ants to spend the odd hundreds of
thousands upon the riOtouS designations
of the paleiaces with which, through
the civilizing influences of time, they
might become acquainted. Rather than
that they will sacrifice themselves and
devote the remaining years of their
lives to spending the money themselves.
Accordingly SITTING BULL protests,
and will be content with nothing but
immediate payment. He will find
plenty of sympathy with his ideas of
immediate possession in Washington,
and if the senate committee entertainS
the belief, prevalent in the West, that
the only good Indian is dead Indian,
it may be induced to do its part toward
regenerating SITTING BULL and his fol-
lowers by acceding to the demand that
they be at once placed in possession of
the purchase money.

When the weather's raw and cold and mar

And all around the town he's got to run,
Inquiring when the cable will be threaded

Who sleeps always with one eye on the gun,
And keeps the same we'll filled with ball and

When he's told to take in what they call a

something that he d rather like to shun,
When he has to wait to see who gets the

When they lay the corner stone of the ice

And he's got to be on hand to see it done,
And hustle round with Little Crows and

The reporters lot is not happy one.
When he sits in court and listens to trial,
With Hal Reid on the stand a-facing Mum,
When he'd like to laugh like others, but he

When he's writing up something he thinks

And innocently hazards he a pun;
When he wakes next morn and doesn't see

The reporters lot is not a happy one
When he's sent to do party or a social,
A high-toned soiree a la Washington,
When he doesn't know MORE from a light

The reporters lot is not happy one.
When, perhaps, he's spent the evening at the

A-jotiing down some yarns hayseed's

When he's told next day the man was only

The reporters LOTS not a happy one.

And walk about as if you weighed ton,
And find next day your scoops" a hoary

AN EXPLODED SENSATION.
The Young Maid of Waseca Who
Didn't Have $4,000 for Her Hus-
band to Run AWAY With.


Special to the Globe
WASECA, Jan. 24.-The Democrat
prints the details of a story which at
one time promised to develope into a
sensation. The gossips have been re-
lating how certain young man came
to this city last fall, saw and fell in
love with, and wooed and won and
speedily married, certain fascinating
young lady. After remaining here a
short time two strange ladies made their
appearance upon the scene. These two
ladies, it is claimed, were looking for
the Identical young man who had so
fearleSSly woOed and so speedily won the
fair maid of Waseca. Their anxiety to
find him was explained by the alleged
fact that both had in their possession
small but important doc
ument which proved that they both
had the supposed legal right to claim
young and festive bridegroom and
spouse of three fair charmers learned
of the presence in town of wives No. l
and No. 2, fastened to tie up his bundle
and shake the snow of Waseca off his
feet. But before taking his leave he

victim. Mrs. Beckworth was seen
and at once stated that the whole
story was a base fabrication.
Her daughter MOlie, she said, married
Mr.. Scoville last October. He made
her acquaintance ON July IL. The home
of Mr.. Scoville is at Winthrop, To-, but
her daughter is now in Owatonna with
her husband. Both she and her hus-
band, Mrs. Weckworth says, came here
two weeks ago Thursday and went
away OH the following Saturday. She
had not heard anything of the strange
ladies claiming to be wives of Charles
Scoville, and if Charley ran away to
avoid them he took his wife, Mollie, with
him. AS to the $4,000, Mrs. Weckworth

representatives of both industries are
in the right. 1t would certainly be to
their advantage to get their raw mate
rails at cheaper rate, and, if they
would thereby cheaper their product to
the consumer, the public, too, would be
better off.
The chances are, however, that so
long as they did not suffer any compe-
tltiOn in the manufactured article they
would not voluntarily lessen their
prices. The lessened cost of production
they would simply convert into an in
creased rate of profit.
What the people generally want and
what they are going to have, unless all
signs fail, is just precisely what these
manufacturers, most of whom are high
tariff men, are asking with regard TO
this raw material. The latter want
special articles exempted from import
taxation because they have discovered it
to be to their advantage. The people
want everything that enters into gem
eral consumption exempted from all
import taxation except SO far as it is
necessary to raise revenue to defray the
expenses of government. Protection to
infant and struggling industries was all
we'll enough when it was necessary, but
the infants of former days have become
full-grOwn and vigorous. They are now
quite able to take care of themselves.
1t is hOmely but time-proven adage,
that what is sauce for the goose is also
sauce for the gander; and we, therefore,
commend this view of the matter to the
consideration of the high tariff gentle
men whose tariff belief does not include
a tax upon the articles III which they
are particularly interested.

FREE RAW MATERIALS.

Recently Boston paper sent out in
quiries to the leading carpet manu-

their views as to the expediency of
placing the raw materials used in the
manufacture of their product upon the

replies were in favor of such action.
Now come the furniture manufacto-
ries of Grand Rapids, who argue in the
same view. That is to say, they point
out the fact that with free raw material
the furniture industry will be given a
great impetus, more workmen will be
employed, the product can be made

hlbiting the sale of tobacco to minors
and the suppression of the cigarette
habit to the control of corporations. A
large number of bills referred to rail-
way control. In the senate less business
was done. The taking up of the house
concurrent resolution OF investigating
Warden Martins management of the

lengthy discussion, in which Payner,
Ringer and Young opposed both con-

Senator Dodge defended the neces-

The Deficit in the Manitoba Pro.
vinciaI Treasury Growing Larger


vinciaI Treasury Growing Larger
Daily.
Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., Jan. 24.-The de-
falcation of the Norquay government
will prove away beyond what was at
first even limited at. Already Green
way has discovered a deficit of over
S5O0,0O0. The Investigation has revealed
that, for sixteen months, from Septem-
Der, 1885, till January, 1887, not single
entry has been made in the cash book
OF the provincial treasurer. Inyestiga-
ton revealed that on the first of the
present month the cash deficit was
S3l5, $50, besides an issue of provincial
bonds to the extent of 100000, making
deficit OF $475.138.60, In addition to
TINS there are large number of floating
debts, which it is confidently believed
will swell the liability to considerab ly
over 100000. The examination
showed that the $25O,OOO subsidy
received early in January had all been
spent with the exception of a few
thousand dollars, and that one of the
last acts OF the Harrison ministry had
been to pay themselves and most of the
civil servants up to February /. 1t is
the intention of the government to
prosecute the audit in order that the
true state of affairs may be learned.
The new provincial treasurer, Jones, re-
turned to the city tonight and will put
a couple OF experts on the books tO-mOr-
row in order to get at the worst. 1t is
hardly likely now that the conserva-
tlyeS will oppose reelection of the
ministers, as the party is so much dis
gusted with the recent revelations it
would be impossible to elect support
Ell of NOrquay. Greenway intends to
get some good contractor to take hold
OF the Red River Valley railway and
complete it outside of the government.
Sir John Macdonald, becoming alarmed
at the turn affairs are taking in Man
ltoba and contemplating vigorous re-
sistance to his policy, is proposing a
compromise. He promises the Canadian
Pacific railroad will build branch lines,
the government will make Winnipeg
the head of lake navigation and other
concessions will be granted if the PROV
lnce will only cease agitation and allow
the Canadian Pacific railroad to con-
tlnue in possession of the monopoly till
1891. This will never be agreed to. The
Manitoba will fight for their rights until
they are conceded, regardless of conse-
duences to the Dominion.
