Washingt ton, Nov. q. Ac.ss
cording to \ report about the
interior department there. I'd:
every reason to believe that ar-
engagements will soon be per.
fected whereby about 14o, 900, vi
|O0c feet Of pine timber on Indian
reservations in Minnesota will
be placed on the market. No
verification can be obtained
that the formal decision has
been reached to accomplish this,
but it is part of the depart.
mental program and it is be-
lieved it will 60 through. The
timber in question is on the
coded portions of the Chippewa
reservations aud is described as
dead-and- down timber. The de-
partment officials have been at
work on this problem for several
weeks, the points under con-
sideration covering not only
dead.and- down timber on coded
reservations, but also on the
diminished reservations. Re-
Gently it was determined to dis
pose of the timber on the dimin-
ished White Earth and Red
Lake reservations.
A Large Tract to Be SOLD.
But the most important fea-
ture of the timber sales will be
the disposal of what IS estimated
to be more than 40, 900, 900 feet.
Another feature of the sale is
that It is believed all the timber
will be cut and marketed under
the direction of Indian Agent
Mercer of Leech Lake.
This policy would indicate
that if carried out along the
lines proposed the timber opera
tions will come under the direc-
tions of the Indian office instead
of, as heretofore, under the land
department. Indian commits
sioner Jones was asked tonight
as to the action of the depart.
ment, but he declined to discuss
the subject in any way.
Tie details of the plan, under
which the tim Der is to be dis.
posed of wi IL be made public in
a day or two. Every means is
being utilized to avoid the fric-
ton which has heretofore been
Involved in Minnesota timber
operations, and the statement
is made that the timber
will be cut by Indian labor
and sold to the highest bidder.
This action has not been taken
without very careful considera-
ton, il having been considered
from every point Of view.
Indian Agent MERGERS advice
was sought, he having been in.
vited here for the purpose, and
his opinion was that delay
would mean the loss of thous.
ands of dollars to the Chippewa
nation. AS he is a practical
lumberman his representations
had great weight with Secre-
tary Hitchcock. The amount
to be disposed of during the
coming season will depend upon
Capt. MERGERS ca9acity to
handle it with the means at
hand. Formal notice of this
sale will probab bly, be made the
latter part of this week.

CONCENTRATION By ELECTION

4 s5 kN0OASA&SA ~ ~ AANkSsy$si
st. Paul Dispat c A: Rumor per.
3sists ia asserting a. "A fact that
MI. James ]. Hill, who IL prac.
tically the Great n orthern. and
Mr.. J J. Pierpont Morgan, who IL
practically the n them cific,
have arranged for the election
Of Mr.. Hill As a director ia the
Northern Pacific; and Of Mr..
Morg an,. or one Of his selection.
ii the directorate Of the Great
Northern. It is generally ac-
cepted that this arrangement,
il made, is for the purpose Of
making permanent such rela-
tions between the two companies
that there shall be no competi-.
ton between them in transpor
tation rates. r. At the recent
meeting Of the Baltimore & Ohio
three representatives of The
Pennsylvania lines were elected
directors, and the purpose is the
same as that of the rumored in
terchange of directors in the
continental lines.
Mr.. Hill, it may be noted, is
also a director in the Baltimore
& Ohio. .#.&.~ s :,
That Mr.. Hill might promote
such an exchange is very prob.
able. He wished to control the
Northern, Pacific for several
years. He is said to have stat
ed, on his return from the East
a few years ago, before the ia
nous consolidat suit, that he
had broug.s back the Northern
Pacific IN his grip. Any
motive for gaining control
must have been strengthened
by the purchase of the st.
Paul & Duluth by the Northern
Pacific. That purchase made it
a more actual competitor with
she Great Northern and it's Off
spring, the Eastern Minnesota
than when it had only it's cir
cuitous line by way of Brainerd.
But the decision of the courts
sustaining the anti.consolida.
ton laws of this state put a
quietus to the consolidation Of
the two roads by any direct
method.
If the rumor should material.
ize in fact, we will have, as in
the case of the Baltimore & Ohio
and Pennsylvania companies, a
virtual and practical consonli.
dation of these Two great com.
panies by the simple and less
expensive method of election.
The capital of railway systems
has become far too great to make
ownership through stock pur-
chases possible except under
very exceptional conditions, but
the tendency to consolidation,
beginning with railways and ex-
tending to industries, is too
strong to be prevented eli her by
leg islation or financial obstacles.
That which cannot be accom-
plished in one way can be in an
other; if not directly, then indi-
rectly. Ii railway is prohibited
by law from buying up bodily
it's competitor, it need only to
secure representation in its
board of directors 10 obtain all
that it could have got by the
more direct, but also more ex-
pensive manner. IF consolida-
ton by purchase is forbidden,
consolidation by election is. fea-
sible. Unless, indeed, it should
be held by courts that in such
case, as in some Others, that
which is forbidden to be done
directly shall not be done indi-
rectly. }..-n... .
President Mellen, of the
Northern Pacific, is much dis
pleased over. the reports that
the Great Northern people have
secured the control of his line.

founded, but they are causing
