Duluth Warehousemen Comply
ing With the Law-New Incur-
porations.
The new law governing the admins
tration of the elevators of the state Is
more to the liking of the owners than
was the law in the past. This fact is
exemplified by the many applications
that are being received by the state
railroad and warehouse commission for
licenses to do business under the ban of
the new provisions. Still. it is barely
possible that there is potent influence
behind it all that does not appear
Superticially. 10 be explicit. it
is possible that the posi-
tion recently assumed by the
Bank of Nova Scotia mas induced the
elevator men to come under state con-
troll. 1t was not long ago that the
GLOBE gave recital of the differences
that were operating between this bank
anu the elevator concerns. The bank
expressed i'll no unmeaning terms its
dlStruSt of private elevators, so called,
and said that it did not seek invest
mentS in The securities that such instl
tutiOnS might tiud available in CONNER
Cldl llIdlI1dCtIOilS. IL Odlh Hldtlt all
extensive inQuisitiOn into the methods
employed by both systems. and gave
uOlIce that il had 10 funds to lran pri
vate elevators. 1t is notorious fact
that the ereat majority OF the elevators
of The Northwest are conducted upon
| money borrowed from the Bank of
Nova Scotia. BE that aS it may. all the
great elevators of tile state are
taking out lirenses under the new
order of things. Yesterday tie
Duluth system came within the province
OF the states control. George Spencer,
To particulariZe, WHO is The receiver of
the Lake Superior Elevator company
and of the Union Improvement Ele-
vator company. Dotn of Duluth, made
application for license for the entire
Duluth system 1f elevators, and the
staff of clerks of the stale board of rail-
road and warehouse commissioners is
busy making out these licenses. All
the elevators at the head Of the lakes
are to become public elevators. 1t was
Year ago that good many Of them
Withdrew ami became private ihstitu-
tiOns. Prior 10 that time, however, they
had been public elevators, operating
under the stale supervision.
The state scholastic examining COM
mlttep began its WORK at the capitol
yesterday. The Office of the Committee
is 10 examine and grant certificates to

formed by s. J. Race, or Redwood Falls,
who represents the county superindend-
entS of schools, and &. b. Gilbert. of ST.
Paul, who represents the city superin-
tendents. The work of the day was
confined to considering candidates fOrti-
fled with cOllege diUomas. There were
,It.f.-
certificates IN this department, and on
the PSI the examination of candidates
upon merits will be held. There are
SIX applicants under this head.
There seems 10 Ue some foundation in
the recital given ny prOmine Duluth
citizen to GLOBE reporter the other
day To tile effect that there is a we'll
organized effort 10 force the Duluth,
MlssaUa IL Northern Railway company
10 20 into the hands of Il receiver 1t is
cold Lay that tnere are nU mechanics
liens against the road filed in the Office
OF the secretary OF State. Yesterday
there were two. One was by Brandt Il
BergstrOm, for grading ana conStruc-
ton, and the sum applied for is only
Sl22. 2.4S. The Water Power Sandstone
company sets up that it has supplied
the road with certain materials, and
that there Is due and unpaid to the firm
the sum OF S474.SO, and a lien is filed to
secure the same, The gentleman from
Duluth Just quoted AYERS that there is
no danger or a possible wreck. The
heaviest iiuanciers of the country, he
says, have unqualified confidence in the
Railroad, and Incy will take care of the
corporation, no matter how many liens
are filed.
