Poems Come High.

There has been a "poet" living
up on Long Island for q great
many years, not unknown to the
readers of New York dailies for his
unique rhymes, metres, and sub
jects. For about twenty years his
poems have been appearing in the
village paper, and not in despised
poets corner, but in the advertis.
ing columns. The other day the
editor sent in a bill to the veneer.
able and aged poet for $2,450, for
printing said poets poems on first
page, at top OF column, for nineteen
years, nine months and seventeen
days. The poet refused to pay

court, and got his money.

So our British friends are altogether
too forehanded with their congratula
TONS The advantage is wholly on our
SIDE 1t carries with it no such re-
sponsibility as has been assumed. The
United States stands exactly in the po-
sition that it occupied in 1928. It's i'm
mense advance is in the recognition of
that position, always disputed hereto
fore, by perhaps the foremost power in
Europe. Our institutions are touched
only when occupation of American soil
or the establishment of virtual SOW
ereignty over an American govern
ment is concerned. In all matters
which stop short of that differences
must be settled between the parties
themselves. Great Britain may salve
her wounded pride, if she pleases, by
assuming that this country makes it
self liable for the good conduct of the
governments whom it is bound to pro-
tect against virtual conquest, but that
is neither the spirit nor the letter of
the Monroe doctrine, and is not i'm
piled in the victory which we have

REEVES AN OLD CHARTER.
New Northern Pacific Digs Up an
Ancient Paper.

The charter under which the new
Northern Pacific Railway company will
operate, is rather an ancient document.
Failing to secure a new charter by act
of congress, the road will fall back
upon a charter passed by the Wiscon-
sin legislature in the session Of 1876,
or twenty-siX years ago. The original
charter was granted to the Superior &.
st. Croix Railroad company, and it has
proven very valuable heirloom Of the
Northern Pacific people.
The act Incorporating the road was
officially published April 6, 1870. The
original stockholders in the road were
I. w. Gates, r. G. Coburn, E. W. An
derSon Jr., Hiram Hayes, S. H. CIough,
Hiram Robbins, d. w. Maxon, John J.
Tallmadge, H. l.. Palmer, S. B. Ores
ser and o. s. Powell. The name given
to- the company was the Superior & ST.
Croix, and the incorporators were
granted a perpetual succession. The
original or preliminary route given in
the charter was as follows; Beginning
at some convenient point on the West
ern bank of Superior bay, or on the
south shore Of the Bay Of st. Louis, in
the county of Douglass, running thence
south by a route as direct as practi-
cable through the counties Of Douglass,
Burnett, Polk, st. Croix and Pierce, via
ST. Croix Falls. Hudson to Preston,
with branch or extension running
westerly from the above named places
of beginning, in Douglass county, to
such a point on the Minnesota bound
airy north of the Nemadji river as may
be deemed desirable by the directors Of
the said railroad company. The char
ter gave the company unlimited per-
petual rights, and one of them was to
Join its road with that of any other
company. Section says that the COM
pany created by the act should be
capable In law Of taking and holding
any land granted to it by the govern
ment of the United States, or Of the
state Of Wisconsin, or by individuals or
corporations, to aid in the construction
of the road.
The original capital stock was $5,000,-
600 and the limit was placed at 100000
900 in shares Of 500 each.
The charter was repeatedly enlarged,
amended and new features added until
the printed form consisted of twenty
seven pages Of type. It is a valuable
document to the company, in view of
the fact that the corporation has no
other under which 1t can hold all it's
apdS etc

MILLIONS IN CLAIMS
FILED WITH MASTER CAREY
AGAINST THE OLD NORTHERN
PACIFIC COMPANY.
TOTAL IS OVER sI00,OoO,ooO.
ASSETS OUTSIDE OF LAND ARE
LESS THAN TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS.
NEW COMPANY LARGEST CLAIMANT.
After 1t Come Attorneys, Agents and
Other Creditors for Relatively
Small Amounts.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 1.-THE
last claim against the old Northern
Pacific company has been filed with
Master A. L. Carey, and the filing of
objections will at once begin and con-
tinue until the first Monday In January.
Mr.. Carey said today that the total
amount Of claims against the corpora
ton is over 500, 00O, 00O In this are in
cluded many minor claims, all running
from 81 900 to $500, 900 and more. The
principal claim is by the Northern Pa
cific company the reorganization body
which owns all the bonds. This claim
is for $97, TAO, 5000, which amount is due
on mortgage under which bonds and
stocks are issued. The company in
claiming this amount has not allowed
anything for the procedure Of the sale
of the property, for the receiverships
and all the expense that has been con-
nected with them. Another large claim
is that of the Seattle, Lake Shore &
Eastern railway, one of the leased
lines, for over $6,000,000. Then come
the claims of about 100 attorneys,
agents and commission men, of firms
who sold supplies to the company and
others. The proceeds of the sale of
the property last summer aggregated
100000 in round figures. To these
assets are added about 100000 acres Of
land not covered by mortgages. These
lands are in Minnesota and in North
Dakota.
