CORRIDOR CHAT.
William Anglim and E. D. Childs. of
Crookston, arrived at the Clifton yester-
day in very hostile spirit. They had
with them petition, signed by nearly
all the residents of Crookston, in favor
of the Crookston bond bill, now in the
hands of Senators Daniels and Burk-
hard. On being asked the cause of the
hostility shown by residents of that part
of the country to Senator B. Sampson,
Mr.. Anglim said: Senator Sampson
has played us false. AS the GLOBE
pointed out yesterday, he has deliber.
ately hornswoggled his constituents. In.
that interview on Wednesday he re-
ferred to a gentleman who had been
down to see him about the bill, and
seemed to have got lost. 1 am the man
he refers to. He knows that we went
down together to CrookstOn on the
train, and after he returned to st. Paul
he knows was in Croekston. Senator
Sampson promised us to pass the bill,
and has deliberately violated that prom
Use. We have got out red-hot petition,
| signed by twO-thirds of the Polk county
| taxpayers, asking for the passage of the
| substitute for the absurd bill introduced
by Sampson. This will be placed before
the senate tomorrow"
-
E. d. Childs here broke in, saying ::
s'Sampson said in that interview that he
| had paid $1,000 in taxes in the last three
years. Mr.. Chase has q telegram from
| the county treasurer sho wing the
| amounts he has paid" Here Mr.. Chase
| produced the telegram, which stated
| that Senator Sampson only paid SS3 in
| 1888, and this years taxes would not
| amount to nearly so much. These gen.
| tlemen say that the whole county is
aroused, and show copies of the three
papers published there giving Senator
Sampson doses of hot shot at every par
| agraph.
W. f. Phelps, secretary of the Duluth
! chamber of commerce, and S. f. Wad-
hams strolled around the Ryan last
| evening, looking perfectly at home
! Mr.. Phelps, who, by the way, was A. s..
| Tallmadge'S predecessor in the st. Paul
! chamber Of commerce, said: 1--WE are
| down here as bearers of an invitation
! from the city council and chamber of
commerce of Duluth to the legislature;
| to come and visit u.s." Mr.. Wadhams
| said: I'VE want them to come down;
| and spend day with us, and we will

| We are to see the st. Paul & Duluth
| men tomorrow, and hope to be able to
| get transportation for the whole crowd.H
Yes" said Mr.. Phelps, 1--WE will give
them quite NICE little picnic if we can.
| induce them to come" -

T. w. Mayhem, of Grand Marais. is a.
| misunderstanding citizen of Cook
! county. AS he sat in the Ryan last
evening" stroking his long, silvery beard j
he said':. II got out of Grand Marais,
earlier than usual this year, After, a:
! long winter, with mails brought weekly
| by dog trains, the advent of the OssiI
| frage ON her first trip was quite an
| event. She intended to have gone ON
| to Port Arthur, but there are twelve.
miles of ice still blocking the entrance.
| to Port Arthur harbor. and she went no
| further than Grand Marais. 1 came
| down here at once to get into civiliza-
| ton for awhile. | am always the first
man out in the spring, as it is very tedi-
Gus in small town like ours during the.
| winter. The fur trade this year prom
| iSeS to be very good, as all furs are up
| in price. Why, l do not know, as they
are about as abundant as in years gone
| by. For some time mink and lynx
| could not be sold for more than 40 cents
| to 60 cents skin, and the trapperS did
| not bother with them. Now they are
| worth money and are becoming fashion,
able. Beaver and otter are much more
expensive than they used to be. A great
deal of beaver is piucked and dyed and
sold for seal. Few people. can tell the
difference if it is properly treated, and
| the result is that beaver skins have
| more than doubled in price. l remem-
Der the time when we used to buy real
SealSkin caps for rs cents. Now they
are SIS, and every fur has risen CORE
| spondingly. The March sales set the
| prices for the balance of the season.:
! and an early opening of navigation like
| thSs is bonanza to us, as it enables us
| to get our peltS OH the market in time
| for the March sales. L am heartily glad
| to get into st. Paul after being locked
up in Grand Marais all the winter, with
| no way OF getting out except by long
tramp of several days through the
| woods"
Emil Hartmann, one of the heaviest
| owners of iron lands OH the Vermiilion
| Iron range, came into the Ryan last
| evening, and kept the crowd of friends,
| who always gather around him, in fits
of laughter at the comieal stories he
| told in his rapid German dialect. He
| told one about his dog Pussy" which
is worth repeating. though it loses
| much of the effect when told by any lips
but those of this iovial German. "You
| know my dog Pussy?' he asked. Il
have been getting him a set of false
teeth. You need not laugh, as it is an
! absolute fact. Colt in himmeli Have
| never told you how he lost his others?
| He and had been out in the woods for
| over six weeks prospecting, and had
lived on nothing but pork and beans
all the time. Now Pussy has only
three legs, but / think he has three
stomachs also. He had been very good
for some time, but one night when L
had cooked lot OF pork and beans he
suddenly ate the whole painful up5
Potztausend, aber ich war hitzig !!
! Those beans swelled him up so big
that his three legs would scarcely carry
him. L seized an AK, as was deter4
mined to have those beans at any cost:
l hit at him but just succeeded in
smashing all the front teeth in his
lower jaw. got dentist in Chicago
to take cast of his mouth and make
him set of artificial teeth on a plate.
When he got them in he seemed to like
it, and eats now just as well as he ever
did."
Abe Rohrbach, of Saltwater, owner
of the Well-known horse Mike Wilkes.
was around the Merchants yerterday.
He says they are jubilant at Saltwater
over the prospects for successful race
meeting this summer. 'sOf course we
cannot offer much more than 5000 in
prizes, but we have a good mile track,
and, as preliminary TO the Minneap-
oils and st. Paul meeting, and taken in
connection with them, we cannot fail
