At a meeting held in this city
Monday called for the purpose
of organizing an association oil

Ranges of Minnesota was form.

the charter officers:
President-P. E. Bowling, of

Vice President-Geo. West

Secretary-D. E. Cuppernull,

Treasurer-W. E. Hannaford,
of the Enterprise.
The idea of such an Associa-
ton is not a new one, but the
short notice upon which the
meeting was finally called pre-
Guided the attendance of some,
but it is the expectation that all
papers will be represented at the
next meeting, to be held early IN
June.
The organization adopted a

citation for the mutual benefit of
the publishers of the ranges;
providing for the admission of
new members by a two. thirds
vote of members present at any
regular or special meeting; fix:

nominal sum of s1.00 per year;
providing for two regular meet

on the second Mondays of May
and November, and prescribing
for the election Of officers at the
May meeting, and the duties and
endorsement Of such officials. !
The Association is devoid of

benefit of its members, who
readily realize that certain ends
are not to be attained singly and
believe that in the strength of

OFFICIAL TOWNSHIP PAPERS.


At a meeting of the board of
supervisors of Missabe Noun
tain township held at the Office
of the Adams mine Tuesday af.
ternoon, it was unanimously
agreed to publish the official
proceedings of that body in The
Enterprise and The Eveleth
Star, rate of 374 cents per folio
each being allowed, or one full
legal rate for both papers for
such work. :: In view of the fact
;hat Missabe Mountain township
covers so large an area, the de
cision of the board to publish
such minutes in two papers, one
at each end of the district, was a
proper one, and to the members
of the board in designating The
Enterprise as the Virginia paper
to do such publishing we extend
our thanks and commend them
upon their sound judgment.

SEt LATEST .iCCESSIONS,

The Philippine Islands ex-
tend almost due north and south
from Formosa to Borneo and the
Molrccas, embracing an extent
Of Is degrees of latitude and 8
degrees of longitude. They are
over 400 in number; the two
largest are Luzon (area 40,025

106; Cabecera, 29,057. There is
"a small resident population, but
a large number of Chinese. The
native Inhabitants are mostly
Malayan, but there are some
tribes of the negritos. The gov
eminent is administered by the
governor general and a captain
general, and forty three provin-
ces are ruled by governors, al
caldes or commandants, accord
ing to their Importance and posi-
ton.
The estimated revenue of the
Philippine Islands in 1894-1895
was e2,715,680, and expenditures
1855, 026. There is an export
duty on tobacco, and almost
every article of foreign produc-
ton is heavily taxed on being
imported. On muslins and pc.
troleam the duty is about 100 per
cent of the cost.
The chief products are: Hemp,
80,183 tons in 1892; 97,787 tons

TRULY SAID,

The following from the Evel-
eth Star. an independent pape:,
hits the nail squarely, and meets
the hearty approval of the PEG
pie of the ranges, irrespective of
party:
THE old dyed in the.wool re-
publican war hi rse, Hon. Neil
Nc nnis OF Tower, is out this
year for the nomination of clerk
of court.
If St. Louis county Republi-
cans have one man more than
another in their party that de-
serves recognition, so far as
good work for the party goes
that man is Neil McInnis. Mr..
McInnis has worked in and out
Of season for the best interests
of the party. He has always
been with them and never asked
fol an Office that had any real
compensation attached to it. In
the many appointments made by
Judge Morris for St. Louis coun-
ty, none have fallen to McInnis.
Now that the Republican party
of St. Louis county nave an op-
portunlty to do something, it is
| but fair that the Vermilion man
should get the nomination for
clerk Of court. But, on the
ranges as we'll as in Duluth. it is
generally conceded that Neil
McInnis will be nominated for
clerk of court"
