The UNION frequently is accused of
charging too much for legal printing
and occasionally we run up against
man who even accuses US of robbing
him. For the benefit of these wise in
dividuals the UNION publishes the fol-
lowing extract from a letter received
during correspondence concerning the
sale of the Northern Pacific lands by
Special Master Carey:
II have this day passed to voucher
your bill for $4,000 for above publica-
ton. You should receive payment of
same now within a very short time.
There has been considerable delay in
this matter owing to the fact that I
was obliged to wait until the bills from
all of the twenty-five papers, in which
this notice was published in Minnesota,
were received. The bills varied all
the way from $6S.75, the lowest, to
$4,000, the highest, and from twenty
seven and one-half folios to fortyfour
folios. I knew that there must be
some happy medium, but after all the
bills were in, the variation was so
much that had to go to Expert State
Printer Whitney to have the matter
measured so that I could secure some
uniformity. He measured up the no.
tice from a printed copy I furnished
him and gave me a certificate to the
effect that the notice, as published in
nonpareil type in regular newspaper
columns, measures thirty-six folios,
and for six publications at legal rates,
amounts. to $4,000. Your bill being in
strict conformity to this measurement,
I take the first opportunity, after re-
ceipt Of this. certificate, to pass it to
voucher w.. Il

Northern railway companies and is for
the recovery of $4,000 for the loss of

Bruckart, then a practicing attorney
of this city, December 80, 1897. Orig
inally the cases were commenced in
the district court but they were trans
ferred to the United States circuit
court. Later they were remanded to
the State courts and as Mr.. Stewart

the cases for trial at the next term of

The Northwestern Telephone COM
pany's work in this village is finished
and the crew has gone. A booth was
put up in the exchange room at the
Commercial Monday and the telephone
is in place. There are few poles
missing still on the Elk River end of
the line and a few insulators between
here and the Junction City and when
these defects are remedied everything
will be ready for the public. The
Northeastern company's instruments
for the local exchange have been de-
layed in transit, but Mr.. Nobel says
it will be the work of a very few days
to get the exchange in working order
after they arrive. Wiring has been
completed for thirty-tive phones and
more are promised.
