Interesting Chats With Some of st.
PauPs Visitors.
Edward A. Noonan, formerly mayor
of st. Louis, where he was also city at
torney and also a judge on the local
bench, arrived in st. Paul yesterday
from the West, accompanied by John p.
Rogers, a prominent real estate man
from the Mound City. The two trav-
elers were at San Francisco, and later
passed through Seattle, where they
heard much of the excitement over the
rich gold finds in the Klondyke region
of Alaska Mr.. Noonan is not man to
be carried away by high conversation
and points out in his own practical
way, that although there is undoubted-
ly large quantity of gold in the sec
ton mentioned, the exceedingly short
season when work can be done and
the extreme northern climate, even
during that season, will tear down the
constitutions of men who stay there for
any time.
In addition, he points out that the
Klondyke region is in undisputed
a short time there will be such an i'm
post placed upon nonresident miners
that the Canadians will practically hog
the enterprise. Taken all in ALL Mr..
| Noonan is of the opinion that unless
man has a good constitution and not
less than $500 or So, 900 to start off
with he might better stay at home and
work in the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium
and then hunt for gold in Jerusalem.
Among the visitors in ST. Paul who
came here by boat is Attorney General
Milton Remley, of Iowa, who is stay
ing at the Metropolitan hotel with his
fc.J ilxy Mr.. Iowa
City, and will remain here for day
or two, when he will make trip from
Duluth to Mackinac and home from
there by way of Chicago. Yesterday
he paid visit at the capitol to lnsur-
ance Commissioner Dearth, with whom
he discussed in a friendly way the in
surance trouble, which is still pending
between this state and his own. Mr..
Remley, seen last night at his hotel, eX-
pressed the opinion that the action or
Commissioner Dearth in resembling the
order keeping out the Iowa companies
would solve the trouble as State Au-
ditor Mccarthy, who is insurance COM
missioner in his tate, would probably
withdraw his order SO far as it affected
companies which conformed to the
state laws on the matter Of proxies at
meetings of directors. He explained
that this rule was applied with equal
force to local companies, and seemed
be no feeling in the matter, and said
he looked for speedy termination of
the trouble to the satisfaction of the
departments in both states.
Maj R. B. Basford, Of Winona the doughty
member of the last house of representatives,
who gained quite reputation for the tire4ess
manner in which he fought all claims for
Indians and their descendants, came to town
yesterday from Livingston, Mont, where he
has considerable property interests and where
he he's spent the past fortnight. Almost the
first man the major met when leaving the
train E. E. Mcdonald. of Ramsey, who
came to the rescue of the bill for the relief
of the widow of the Indian chief, Mazomanie
when it came up for passage in the house.
There resulted a spirited tilt between the two
gentlemen, and when they greeted each other
yesterday the bill the chief topic of con-
versation. Due largely to the opposition of
Maj. Basford, the bill failed of passage. He
will remain here several days, and is at the
Windsor hotel.
