TOWNSHIPS OPENED.
Enormous Crush of Prospective FiIers or
Hand for the Valuable Lands

Enormous Crush of Prospective FiIers or
Hand for the Valuable lands
Another of the old-time land rushes
was experienced at the Duluth land,
office last Wednesday, when towns
1928, 155-29, 156-27 and l56-2S were
opened. ] in many cases the entries
cOnflicted with Indian allotments.
THE crowd began to form at the land
office door as early as 6 o'clock the
previous evening and all through the
long night kept their stand. At 10
o'clock a crowd of ST. Paul and Mime
apOlis timber and stone men, entered
the lobby from the First street side.
The janitor tried to eject them but
could not succeed until an officer was
called, who succeeded in pushing the
crowd out of the Fifth avenue en-
trance, directly in front of the first
crowd stationed there. This was
exactly what the Twin city crowd
wanted and they succeeded in getting
to the filing desk as soon as the land
office door was opened. The crush
was terrific and some of the men who
went through it were well nigh worn
out. The weather was warm and the
men were dripping with perspiration.
There was one women in the crowd
but she did not participate in the
crush, having claim which she will
have to contest for anyway.
In all thirty-nine applications were
received. Nineteen were accepted,
thirteen being timber and stone
entries and six homesteads. Twenty
of them confiicted with Indian allot-
ments and some with the state swamp
land grants.
Thursday township $50 was opened
for entry and while there were only
four entries there was some lively
hustling for time. The four men
who filed were settlers and although
determined effort was made to get
them out of line they succeeded in
holding their positions. Three made
entries under the homestead law and
one under the timber and stone act.
One man, Lars B. Asbjornsen. is loca-
ted on claim which lies one-half i'm
township 5S-lO and the other half in
58-11. The latter is not yet opened
and he will have to go through the
rush again when that town comes in.

The Moose.

Archie Philip, was up from rover
Monday evening. Mr.. Philip is game
warden for this northern section and
is keeping his eyes peeled for law
breakers. He informed us that the
moose he confiscated in this city few
weeks ago, has been taken to St. Paul
where it will grace the state park.
He also says the petition gotten up in
this city for the retention of the
animal was never sent in, or the COM
missioners would have acted favorably
towards this city on the same.

FOR TWO HARBORS.
The ID. q 1. r., Will Make Costly Improve
ments at Their Machine Sfrous.

| ments at Their Machine Shops
A large amount of granite from the
Hinsdale quarries has been taken to
Two Harbors during the past two
weeks by the ID. & I. r., and it is con-
f1dently expected that the much talk
ed or improvements to the machine
shops will be built. Plans for improve
ments were prepared in 1892. by
Master Mechanic Bryan and since that
have been perfected somewhat. When
finished, the plant win be one of the:
| best i'm the west,
| One of the improvements manned
so long ago is an addition to the
machine shops. The foundation for
that was, in fact, laid abous two
years ago. If completed at once the
machinery will be moved in and in
the present shop five erecting pits for
locomotive rebuilding will be con-.
struct.d. An area between the.
machine shops and the blacksmith
shops and boiler shops will be covered
with an iron roof and the space thus
Iobtained added to the two latter
shops. 1t is intended to double the.
capacity of the round house, making
1T a complete circle. Toproyide room
for that, the Office and store building
and oil house will be torn down. The
large paint shop will be remodeled
into offices for the master mechanic.
ana Storeroom and a new paint shop
erected later. 1t is intended to re-
build the oil house some distance
north OF the shops and to connect it
with the round house by pipe line
terminating in small building Ia be
attached to the north side Of the
round house, in which there will also
be an office for the foreman. The
passage between the round house and
machine house will be enclosed and
contain the general foYeman's office
and the tool rooms. 4 system OF
transfer tracks will be a feature.
The plans also provide for the erec-
tion of an addition to the car shop
just double it in size, and the extern
sion to the north from the new addi-
tiOn of the machine shop, distance
sufficient to give five more erecting
pits, placing the machinery convent
emily between the two ending shops
and the round house. To do this the
foundry will be removed. The car
shop will not be built this year, and
the last named machine shop extern
sion is provision for the future.

MOTION DENIED. /.
Tho Famous "Section 80" Case, Again
| Ruled Upon by Secretary Smith.


Ruled Upon by Secretary Smith.
A Washington dispatch of the
10Th, says: Secretary Smith,
late yesterday afternoon, rendered
the following decision on the mo.
tions for review filed by Emil
Hartmann and w. w. Billson, two
of the parties interested in the
celebrated ''Section 30'' land case,
technically known as Hyde ct al.
versus Mcdonald ct al, from the
Duluth district:
81 have carefully considered all
the errors alleged. They present
no question not already fully con-
sidered in the original decision.
Under such circumstances the de-
partment has repeatedly held that
motions for review should be de-
Med"
This disposes of one of the most
celebrated and bitterly contested
cases ever before the department.
Any further proceedings will have
to be taken in the courts.
In promulgating the decision
the local officers are directed to
notify Hyde and Mcdonald, who
claim to have not received notice
of the secretary's first decision,
and who would have filed motions
for review, had they not been
barred by constructive laches
under the rules of practice.

Must be StOppeG,

We are informed that the Ely youngsters.
of both sexes are have habit of going to
the park and picking the flowers. breaking
down trees and otherwise destroying the
beauty of this popular resort. This is not
right and must be stopped. 1t may be a
source of pleasure to the children, but to the
people who put in the plants it is not. The
park has been laid out for the benefit of the
public and no one has right to molest
either tree plant or schrub growing therein.
Stop it or you may be sorry.

GOLD STANDARD IN CHILE.
Convinced the silver Standard Is a Fail
ure-To Stand with Other Nations.

In spite Of the warning of silyerite
statesmen the prosperous republic of
Chile has abandoned the cheap silver
basis for her currency and has adopted
the gold standard. Chile is one of the
most enlightened and progressive of the
South American countries, and her &C
ton is an evidence that she has found
the silver standard to be a failure and
wishes to be in accord with the major
ity of the great commercial nations with
which she trades, AS all her outstand-
ing loans, both principal and interest,
are payable in gold the change in the
standard will cause but little confusion,
and financial interests are already nd
iusted to the new basis.
While Chile adopts the gold standard
Of value, the same as in this country,
she will continue the use Of silver, and
the banks will be authorized to issue
paper currency somewhat on the plan Of
our national bank system. Only as much
silver will be coined as can be main
tanned at a parity with gold. The result
Of the change will be to give the bust
ness interests of the country a stable
financial system, which will Doubtless be
Of great advantage to it III its competi-
ton with silver standard countries.
1t is now in order for our silverites to
denounce the horrible crime of 1895, by
which the wicked goldbugs secretly de-
stroyed the prosperity Of Chile.

The sound currency committee of the
Reform club has Just issued o short
pamphlet entitled Free Coinage Dis
sected." 1t puts the case against free
coinage In the clearest possible light,
and the language is SC simple and the
sentences SO short that no ordinary me-
chanic or farmer need have any difficulty
in understanding the discussion. Ex-
Congressman John De Witt Warner, the
author of the pamphlet, dissects in turn
each of the principal claims Of the free
coinage advocates.
Many excellent answers to COINS
Financial School" have been written,
but heretofore there has been no first
class pamphlet to put into the hands Of
the millions who have not read COINS

who will be glad to get in this con-
densed form not only the principal OBJ
j~ections to COINS" book, but to the
whole question of free coinage at 16 to /.

eral distribution and merits a wide cir
culation by the friends of honest money

The W. j.. Press after remarking
that the Republicans will have no walk
over this year says: "We do not have
very far to hunt for the reasons that
have produced this change of feeling.
They are the result in part of wasted
opportunities by the last legislature.
We were promised many and radical re.
forms by that body, but when we look
at the work accomplished we are forced
to the conclusion that the promise was
kept to the ear to be broken to the
hope. The work was scarcely begun
before it was ineontinently abandoned
and for no satisfactory reason. 1t is
true that IL carried out to the letter it
would have hit a number of gentlemen
who are enjoying sinecure positions,
and made an onslaught upon the ex-
penses of the courts which in the ma
ture judgment Of the reformers can not
with propriety be curtailed. 1t is be-
cause the reform was stopped short
never to 60 again that other Republi-
car besides the editor of the Jerseyman
have come to the conclusion that the
party is not going to have a walk. over

Trolley Roads.

Chancellor McGill has just rendered
a decision that is Of general interest.
now that trolley's are likely to become
the motive power for communication in
country sections. He holds that before
a trolley company can operate its line
on a country road in New Jersey it
must have the consent not only of the
local authorities but the abutting prop
erty holders along said road. The AS
sumption that a trolley railway is en-
titled to take the public street as its
roadbed, without asking permission of
those most interested, will not bear ex-
animation. In the city the trolley lines
must go on the public streets or not go
at all, but there is no such restriction
of this in the country. This is open
land for the right of way on every hand
if they are willing to pay for it, but
most of them think they should get
their roadbeds free, and that the public
streets should be utilized for their
tracks. The trolley is a great improve
ment, but there is no justification for
its siezing upon and spelling all the
public roads. If it uses them it should
be limited to the side of the road, and
make some adequate return for the
right Of way granted TO it.

Capital" which are such a prominent
feature in the free coinage press and
literature. Capita is denounced as o

urged to vote for cheap dollars as o

italist, To any one who knows what
capital really is-that is, wealth saved
for the purpose Of aiding to produce
more wealth-these denunciations are
extremely silly, Of itself capital is an
inert thing and can do nothing without
human labor and natural resources In
the form Of money its only use in pro-
duction is to purchase real capital
buildings, machinery, raw materials,

adding to the general welfare. If a man

way in which silverites regard the white

are mistaken. A metal can have no
"rights, and it is merely playing with
words to talk of enforcing them. Wheth-
er we shall have free coinage and the
silver standard or limited coinage on a

as great political change in Parliament
as the election last Fall did in this
country. In 1892 the Gladstone Liber-

majority wei the Conservatives and

with no utilization with rings or factions;
unpledged and untrammeled, whose
past record is known-a record that
will stand the test of examination and
honest criticism, whose personality and
individuality are a guaranty to people
that he will do what he promises.
With a platform, no tariff, no free sill
yer or sound money, no Endorsement of
the State government or plank In it,
but float him on a single plank, holding
a banner with a single inscription,
