To remedy the admitted evils of trusts

We commend the present congress for

Politics 1nterferes.

Mr.. I. f. Cole, superintendent of
the Oliver Iron Mining company. was
in town Tuesday looking through
Section Is and other properties with
Agent w. Ell. Johnston. Mr.. Cole
says there may have to be some re-
trenchment of operations in the COM
pany's mines, as they have no place to
put the ore at their works or docks
these being filled now to overfiowing.
He says this is due to the political con-
ditions wholly. The company has an
immense amount of orders on hand
subject TO the political outcome. and
if Mckinley is elected there will be a
great rush to take care of the business.
He says many men have been laid off
a. the Pittsburg mills as well as at
the coke ovens, and that they are
swamped with ore at all points. Mr..
Cole says few people realize the
amount of new work they have sub
ject to McKinley's election and that
similar conditions exist at all other
big manufactures in the country.
He says men with money fear Bryan
methods and will wait until after
election before making extensive pur-
chases in the iron and steel line

has good statute authority for hold
ing on for two years more if he wants
to. 1t is a small matter anyway, fol-
while the candidate for the office has
to put up $40 for filing his certificate
of nomination, the office is such a
useless one in this county that it is
doubtful if it earns enough to reim-
burse the $40 fee or not. 1t is 4-year
office, and while the calls for the
county conventions of both parties
directed the nomination of a candi-
date to fill it. there is no vacancy this
year. as the present incumbent was
elected two years ago.

| A very important ruling was re.
ceived at the local land office Friday
from the general commissioner which
affects several thousand acres of val.
liable land In the Duluth district and
and IS victory for the Northern
Pacific railroad company over other
claimants. The ruling is one of the
outcomes of recent decision of tile
federal supreme court which held
that the EASTERN terminal of the
Northern Pacific is Ashland instead
OF Duluth. In October, 1895, Frank
W. Eaton OF Duluth made a
timber and stone application for the
northwest quarter of section 9-54-12.
lying about twenty-five miles north
east of Duluth and supposed to be
valuable for timber and minerals.
The land office at the time rejected
the application on account of conflict
ing with the rights of the Northern
Pacific to the land. Subsequently.
however, the land department held
that the railroad company had no
rights and awarded it to Eaton, who
on May 10, 1898, made final proof
under his timber and stone applica-
ton, paid for it and duly received his
final receipt. But last April the
famous decision of supreme court was
handed down which wiped out the
contention of the land department
and determined that this and all
other tracts of land in the same status
belonged to the railroad and that
Ashland was the terminus. This
decision, ofcourse, destroyed the hopes
OF a large number of timber claimants
and settlers who had been fighting
for the land since 1895, and left
them without relief excepting
such as might be had under the act
of Feb. 81. 1898. This act is construed
by the land department gives all set
tiers and purchasers who paid for
their lands on or before Jan. 1, 1898. a
prior right to it because the railroad
company had accepted the conditions
of the act. Unfortunately for Mr..
Eaton and many others, however,
he did not purchase or pay for the
land until May. 1899, or after the pre-
scribed date. and therefore he does
not secure the protection of act. Re-
gister Culkin said today that there
are perhaps seyenty-fve other filings
in the Duluth Office in the same con-
dition.

Put Their Foot in It

As can be seen by the council pro-
ceedlngs in another column, the city
fathers made small mix i'm the NAT
ter of selling the city lots. By read
ing the bids it will be seen that the
bid of Wm. Scott was 1926 more than
what the lots were sold for. Scott's
bid was hard TO read. it is said by the
members of the council, and a mis-
taken idea prevailed which cost the
CITY the amount above mentioned.
The city attorney who is hired to look
after these things nladei If a point Ia
see nothing and in consequence he
was awarded one Of the lots on his
bid. An excuse for the blindness on
the part of the emminent iurist is
noticeable at first sight. 1t is also
plainly 20 be seen that our city attor-
ney is there for the purpose of draw
ing his salary, $500 year. Another
question which we would very much
like to see answered is how "A city
official can enter into a contract with
the city under any consideration. Or,
is this law only applicable to certain
few in the city. Mayor Sletten, who
was not present at the meeting has re-
fused to sign the deeds however. until
he gets legal advice from disinterest-
ed parties. One good thing the
council did do at the last meeting was
the turning down of the News-Tri-
bune's bill for 500 for fake write-up
of the city.

1t is known fact that nearly all of

The Tribune seems to be in favor of
county division but why, is a mystery

not explain why they want division

Thursday morning in the office of the

of royalties paid each year to amount
to rental of at least $40, 900 per year.

Two fellows struck town three weeks
ago and proceeded to do them all.
Suckers bit fine and large catch was
the result. 1t was nothing more or

NORTH MAIN AVENUE PAVE.
Has Now Been Completed Only as
Far as Providence Square.

City Engineer Phillips said yester-
day that there is no probability of the
North Main avenue pavement being
completed by the Girard Construction
company before cold weather sets in,
The company has now got the pave
ment completed only as far as the
Providence Square, which is about half
way. They have got the concrete laid
about 500 feet further on and it is
probable that Mr.. Phillips will in a
short time refuse to allow any more
of the street to be torn up, in order
that the pave may be entirely COM
pleted to certain point before the
frost causes discontnuance of work.
To illustrate how slow the COM
pany has proceeded with the work.
Mr.. Phillips showed the Tribune man
n carefully compiled schedule prepared
by him when the contract was first
awarded, giving the time when the
company should reach certain streets
This schedule, he says, was prepared
by him with a great deal of care and
he says he allowed more time than
was necessary in it.
According to this schedule, the
Square should have been reached on
June % and the pave should have
been completed by this time. Thus
it will be SEEN" said the engineer
that the company is just three
months behind time"
