Discussion of the st. Croix Boom Com
pany's Affairs.
THE STARCH FACTORY SITE.
Indications Point to the Opening Of
the New Street Railway
About June /.

The present charter of the st. Croix
Boom corporation IS about to expire,
the limit of it's existence being some
time next year. but as the concern, as
reorganlzed Wednesday, steps into eX-
President Martin Mowers shoes, it is
supposed that now. since matters have
assumed different phase. an extension
OF the charter can be secured at the
hands of the legislature without oppo-
sition; or, that move not being effected.
that the company will be the bene-
fciaries of the Wisconsin company
which has just secured charter to
build and operate boom Oh the oppo-
site side of the river. However,
whether the Wisconsin boomers merely
secured a charter for the purpose of
compelling the Minnesota concern to
pay them tribute and buy out their
franchise. OF whether the Wisconsin
charter was worked from this side
through friendly Wisconsin influence
in order to forestall threatened hostile
| moves by certain men on the east side
of the river. is not clearly explained.
