Ex-Attorney General Joseph Martin, of
Manitoba, was in st Paul Yesterday register
ing at the Merchants. Mr. Martin looks as
though he enjoyed attending to private bus
mess rather than that of the public, and a
look of relief comes over his bland counte-
nance when he mentions the fact that he is
no longer filling the responsible position of
legal adviser to the Manitoba government.
As he was a member of the government at
the time the Northern Pacific built into Man
itoba and was really connected with the line
he is especially well qualified to speak on the
subject of the proposed sale of this line to
the Canadian Pacific.
Il would not be surprised he said in an
swer to question, IF the Northern Pacific
should make transfer Of its Manitoba line
to the Canadian Pacific, although I am not
here on business connected with such
transfer. have heard great deal of talk
about it, and 1 know the officials of the
Northern Pacific in our country are claiming
that they cannot make the road pay It
might be good move from a financial point
of view for the Northern Pacific if d sale
was made, although it would be very unsatis-
factory to the people Of Manitoba, who want
competition"

CHATS IN CORRIDORS.

Harry E. Ives, the handsome editor of the
st. Hilaire Spectator, dropped into the city
yesterday and spent a good portion of the
day chatting with friends he CHANGED to meet
in the Merchants lobby. Mr.. Ives, who is,
by the way, nephew OF ex-Dairy Commits
sioner Ives of Hutchinson, as well as the
present lieutenant governor, possesses that
liking for politics and political life which
is such characteristic of the family, and
although Young man, is already pretty well
to the front in Polk county politics. Like
his two distinguished uncles, Mr.. Ives is a
Republican, but owing to his desire to see
the local ring in his county Inundated, his
paper rather supported the Alliance move
ment. Now that this feat has been accom-
plished, he is again advocating Republican
doctrines with his old-time force.
'The outlook for a good crop" he said
yesterday. :" was never better in Polk county
The rain came just when it was most needed
and with further favors Polk county will
raise the largest crop of wheat in her history,
and this is saying great deal for she is one
of the best of the Red River counties as well
as the largest in area. A good crop and
fair prices will cause the greatest revival in
all lines of business ever known in the
county. There are sections of the county
where l am sure that wheat could 90 to
harvest without another drop of rain, and at
the most it will not absolutely need great
deal more"

1t is understood that upon the question of
selecting his assistants for the Office, that the
comptroller to be, will act very cautiously,
for there are many points to be considered.
Mr.. Ponthan declined to speak upon the
matter yesterday. but current gossip was, as
usual very busy. 1t was suggested that Sec
rotary White, of the board of school inspect
ors, would resign his position, nay, had re-
signed, in order to be appointed chief clerk
under Mr.. Ponthan, but If such was the case
the school inspectors were not in possession
of the facts at the meeting they held yester-
day afternoon. That White will resign from
the school board secretaryship Is, however,
highly improbable.

Traffic Manager Shelby. OF the Great North
ern. is enthusiastic on the Northwestern crop
outlook. Said he, speaking of the Dakotas
and Montana: THAT country never looked
so well. The rain that has fallen so copiously
from here to Helena has worked wonders,
improving the ground wonderfully and send
ing crops on the high road to a bountiful
harvest. 1 never saw grass grow so luxuri-
antly in Montana, and the country is just a
sea of green. The cattle on the ranges are in
prime condition, and will be ready for ship
ment on July 1, a month earlier than usual,
and the beef will be of the finest quality. 1
cannot say, of course. that the wheat will go
to harvest without more rain. but in my
opinion it doesn't need a great deal more
and in some places could pull through with
out another drop"

The return of Hon. Ben T. Cable to

est In the question of filtering the city's
water supply. Some time since THE
ARGUS vehemently demonstrated against
the manner in which certain self coust;-
tuted critics sought to cast discredit upon
Mr. Cible's magnanimous gift to the
city, and asked in the interest of fairness
and justice that they refrain from further
unfavOrable comment. Being fully &C.

gested, or anv interference whatsoever,
with the project he had grstuitously and

Mr., Gable has fully justified US in that
belief since his return. He has expressed
himself as being greatly disappointed at
the partial failure of the undertaking. or
rather the incapacity of ;bs

that he proposes to rectify the error in

Bridges WIN Not be C,oss d

Much concern has been expressed of
late by Rock Island merchants on account
of the report which has gone out that the
Rock river bridges would be closed while
the repairs which have been ordered are
being made. This being the busy season
when the farmers use the bridges the
most, the anxiety felt by our merchants
is very natural and it would indeed be q
great inconvenience to the farmers as
well. Upon investigation by TIE ARGUS
this morning it was found that the bridges
will not be closed, as one side will be re-
planked while the other side will be left
open for traffic. and in this way the diff
Guilty that 1t was first thought that the re-
pairs would occasion will be avoided.

Were Setting Along Nicely. Thank

You.
Because The ARGUS has seen fit to
take the part of Rock Island against the
unjust criticisms made by Davenport
papers in holding the city accountable
for the deeds of one selfish citizen, the
Union says:
Somebody ought to go round to THE
ARGUS office end brace up the boys there.
They're in the worst kink Of funk be
cause the Davenport papers have been
Growing over the approval of the canal
route that shoots boats across the Missis
sippi over to the Iowa shore for hsrbor,
as against the route that provided a splen.
did basin on the north shore Of Rock river
readily accessible to the commerce of this
city.
THE ARGUS force needs no bracing up,
thank you. when it comes to standing up
for Rock Island and of contrsdicting any
false statements about the city, intended
to do it injury. or of placing the blame
for an injury which has been done Rock
Island just where it belongs. or of with
holding condemnation of whosoever may
do Rock Island an injury, no matter who
he ia or what he is. MOI no. THE ARGUS
needs none of the bracing up the Union
can offer. 1t has gotten along so far in
UNFOLDING and advancing Rock Islands
interests very nicely, and in many instan-
ces has found the Union on the other
side of the fence, but it has gone right
along Just the same, and in the end has
come pretty near getting there, too.
But listen to the Unions conclusions:
Rock Island has has been defeated but
it has not changed its views and has no
apologies to make for the stand it took
against an engineering wrong based on d
causeless and slanderous pretext.
This is pretty story for the Union to
send out to the world, isn't it-that Rock
Island has been defeated. The ARGUS
holds that Rock Island has not been de-
fested. 1t has gotten the canal as much
as it ever had it, and is not going to lose
interest in the measure now or fail to
realize its benz fits simply because it did
not come quite as near US as we would
have wished. The best way possible to
drive the benefits of the canal to Daven-
port is to adopt the Unions policy, that
that city is alone to be benefited. We
don't believe that, and wouldn't say so if
we did, unless we had some grudge
against Rock Island. Furthermore, Rock
Island has no homes to pick with the en-
gineers. They have done US 20 wrong.
