CAUSTIC ROB DUNN.
He Opens His Mouth and Delivers
a Roast

Hon. R. G. Dunn was in close confab
with Senator Leavitt, of Litchfeld, at
the Merchants last night. When ap-
preached by GLOBE reporter on the
point of his possibly looking after the
state authorship for himself, tie genial
Bob frankly said:
II am not looking for the office, and
should make no strong play to get it. |
have comfortable business any way,
but if it should come my way l would
probably take the place."
Mr.. Dunn felt particularly good over
the decision in the pine land case from
Mile Laos county against G. A. Smith
& Co., of Minneapolis.
II understand" said he, "that State
Auditor Biermann may try to explain
his position in this matter in the morn
ing papers. wish could see proof,
and then I could answer his argu-
ments III the same issue. Tnat
would be what the French call a coup
d'etat, l believe. l tell you, Mr.. Bier
mann cannot justify his action. This
matter is not party question. l
honestly believe this questionable prac-
tice of disposing of pine lands has been
going on for twenty-five years. When
MIR. Biermann attempts to Justify his
acLlon on tne ground mat he acted on
precedent-from the example set by his
predecessors In Office - that does not
excuse him. A bad precedent should
not be initiated.
| defy any proof of any appralsement
of this sale to Z. A. Smith & Co. He
cannot produce it. Now, Eli tell you
something. This land is on the Mile
Laos Indian reservatlon,as You know. It
was not known until eighteen months
ago that it would pass from the United
States government to the state. There
was no reason it should be appraised
until then. Sabin 81 Wilder, we'll
known in st. Paul, own an immense
tract In this reservation. Mile Laos
county attempted to tax it. Mr.. Braden,
then state auditor, filed his opinion
that it was untaXable. All the eX.
plantations Mr.. Braden can possibly
give that the sale at 50 per thousand
was Unsuitable or that it was all the
timber was worth, falls 10 the ground.
There were half dozen parties, Reed
q Sherwood among them. stood ready
to pay from 81 to s4.25 for the pine, and
will pay that for the balance that is
left.

to any statement that Mr.. Biermann
may make In the daily press through

MR.. BIERMANN EXPLAINS.
WHY ne SOLD PINE ATs2 PER THOU
SAND FEET

Mr.. Braden Had Often Sold Land
Without Advertising in the
Regular Way Experts
Thought the Pine Sold c. A.
Smith & Co. Not Worth Over So
Per Thousand Feet.
State Auditor Biermann has addressed
a letter to the public explaining his
position with reference to the sale of
pine to G. A. Smith IL Co., at 81 per
thousand feet. He shows by letters
from timber examiners that the pine on
the land in question was not considered
worth more than 81 per thousand feet,
that it was not an unusual thing to sell
pine at private sale when there was
danger that it would be destroyed by
forest fires, and that, finally, Capt.
BradeD, his predecessor, had many
times sold such pine at private sales
and nothing was said about it. The
letter in full follows:

your good opinion and a just respect for
the confidence you placed in me in

Switchmen's Mutual Aid association,
arrived here in the morning. These two

session during the day. Grand Master
Sargent was interviewed by GLOBE
reporter at the Merchants late in the
afternoon, as to what was done. He
said:
I'VE met and listened to the state
mentS made by the several committees
representing the men in the Chicago
Great Western train service, as to the
alleged violations by the company
of the schedule. But this is not
all there is in this matter.
The company'S side of the matter is yet
to be heard. We formulated a com-
munication addressed to General Man.
ager Egan, requesting all audience with
him as SOON as possible for the commit
tee and the grand officers, that we might
discuss the grievances of the men and
effect an adjustment. We were notified
that General Manager Egan is out of
the city. He was in St. Joseph, Mo-,
today. as we were told. Upon receipt
of this information, we then addressed
communication to General Superln-
tcndent Shields, requesting him to
communicate with Mr.. Egan, Informing
him that the grand officers were here,
requesting conference. and to advise
us by O'Clock tonight when Mr.. Egan
would be III st. Paul to meet us. Mr..
Shields replied that he would do 500
Grand Master Sargent was asked to
state Just what the grievance was that
the Chicago Great Westerns trainmen
complained of. as the matter has been
somewhat indefinite. He replied:
1.-The engineers and tiremen and con-
ductors and trainmen complain that the
company has violated its agreement in
regard 10 the schedule. The switch
men desire schedule"
General Superintendent Shields was
visited at his office at p. IN. He said
that he had not had time to receive any
reply from Mr.. Egan, but thought it
perfectly safe for the GLOBE to state
that since MIR. Egan would certainly not
reach st. Paul before tonight. of course,
the conference could not come off until
Monday.
