ROYALTY REBATE BILL PASSES.
The bill for providing for the
rebate of royalties on iron ores
mined on state lands and manu- .
featured within the state, was
formally sent to the governor on
Tuesday. The Importance of
this measure to St. Louis county
and more especially to the city of
Duluth, is estimable, and it is
not entirely improbable that in
the future Duluth will become, in
result of effects of such measure,
an iron manufacturing center as
we'll as an ore producing center.
ORE RAIL EREIGHTS REDUCED.
Announcement is made of a
reduction in ore rail freights
from the Marquette range to the
Escanaba docks of z cents per
ton. the new rate being As cents
per ton as against So cents last
season.
The two railroads having ore
docks at Marquette have an
nounced IS cent rate this sea-
son, as against IS cents last
year.
The railroads tapping the
Minnesota ranges hold a stiff
upper lip and continue hauling
ore at the old rate. Independ-
ent mine owners not liking the
rate may cart their supply to
the Duluth harbor in a wheel
barrow after the opening of the
Miller trunk road, if they so de-
sire.

GET READY TO PULL PUMPS.

There is a vast difference in
the attitude of F. Rockefeller
today as compared with the
time, shortly after the last gen
eral election, when he was the
center of attraction among. the
parasitical newspaper cores
pondenrs Of the Zenith y c ity,
and told them to inform the
world that because of the cleo.
ton of VIM. Mckinley the
Franklin mine was to put on q
force of 500 men in a short time
and would act as the vanguard
of prosperity on the Mesaba.
The woful manner in which
such blusterings have thus far
fallen short, has paved the way
for the people of harden their
hearts against fate and take
things as they come. Hence
The Enterprise representative
failed to go into Mysteries and
even neglected to cuss the cap
italist when told by General
Manager Boss, of the Franklin
group, last evening, that he had
just received a letter ordering
him to make all necessary pre-.
parations to pull the pumps and
blow the boilers at these proper.
ties on short notice.
Such word gives deeper
tinge to the sky blue outlook for
Virginia's future, and should
such orders go into effect, it
would mean much to Virginia.
The step would not be taken un-
less a long period of idleness
had been decided upon. as the
damage done by water would
cost the company many thou
sands of dollars. Nor would the
company close without seeing
in such expenditure a saving
above the fixed expenses of con-
tinuing the property as at, pres
ent during the period of idleness'
Mr.. Rockefeller may yet see
his way clear of the freeze out
methods being employed against
the smaller mine owner, and be
enabled to dispose of or operate
the property, and we certainly
trust such may be.

The Nesu Council Cuts Salaries aud Makes
Municipal appointments For The

Ensuing Year.
The second meeting of the
new council on Wednesday even.
ing was an interesting session.
large number of spectators be
ing in attendance.
After the reading and correc-
ton of the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting, the first business
of Importance was the report of
the Ways and Means committee,
recommending a slash ia salaries
and a retrenchment in all ways
possible. The estimated income
for the ensuing year was placed
a. 513. 900, while the total esti-
mated expense was $13, $40, the
estimated salary expense being
IS, $40 as against nearly or quite
$40, 600 last year. The report of
the committee was unanimously
adopted by sections, the only
objection entered being by City
Recorder Eaton, who entered a
protest in his own behalf to have
the recorders salary retained at
it's former figure, but without
avail. The resolution cut the
chief of police from $40 to $50,
patrol police from $50 to $50 and
provided for two patrolmen dur
ing the summer and one during
the winter months. provided for
$50 per month for a street CON-
missioner six months during the
year, reduced the recorders
monthly stipend from $50 to $418
and the chief Of the fire depart
ment from $50 to $40, while the
city attorney was swiped from
$40 to s25 per month with a stat.
ed rate of IS per day and expense
while absent from the city at the
city's request. The library ap-
preparation of $25 per month was
entirely eliminated. The rec
ommendation cutting off the sal
ary of IS per month each to tie
firemen and in lieu thereof pro-
viding for two practice meetings
each month, attendants to re.
ceive 81 for each practice, $3.50
per hour while engaged in fight
ing fire and 81 each for false
alarms, not to exceed twelve dur
ing the year, was referred to the
committee on fire and fire de-
partment, to be reported upon at
the next regular meeting. The
assessors salary was placed at
800, the rent at $40 instead of
$50 per month for a city council
chamber, while the price to be
paid teams for fire purposes was
placed at 50. The health officer
salary was cut from $40 to 5000
per annum.
The auditing Of bills was fol-
lowed by a report from the Sec
rotary of the library association,
showing 60 card holders and es-
timating twenty visitors daily
during the past month and seven
hundred letters written in the
reading roo MS during the past
year. The report was accepted
and ordered placed on file.
A petition was received from
the residents of the south size of
Birch street, between Central
Avenue and Lake Boulevard, and
upon motion was referred to. the
proper committee.
The matter of appointments
for city positions was then taken
up. the applications of M. Scol-
