Porto Riean Not A Citizen.

New YORK, Oct. 30.-The applica-
ton of Frank Juarbe, Porto Rican,
for peremptory writ of mandamus,
directing the board of registry to regis

he became an American citizen by
virtue of cession of Porto Rico by Spain
to the United States, has been denied
by Justice Friedman in the supreme

Justice Friedman in his decision says
that the treaties taking over the is

left the determination of their civil

Frink's Record Invites Inspection.

If the voters will carefully study the
record of Senator Frlnk they viii dis
cover that while in the legislature of
the state of Washington he always
voted in favor of the Workingman.
He has paid out over ST. 100000 as an
employer of labor to his employees at
the Washington Iron Works, Seattle,
where no strike ever occurred, and
good wages have always been paid.
Notwithstanding the statements of
the opposition press and speakers he
has persistently voted III the interests
of the farmer. The only two measures
of relief ever passed by the legislature
of the state Of Washington upon the
question OF freight rates were the Was
son and Anderson bills. Senator Frink
voted in favor of both OF them. Con-
siderable discussion arises over what is
known as the Helm Morgan BILL
Iden tically the same bill was concur
rently introduced in the senate and
house. In the senate it was known as
the Helm bill--in the house as the
Morgan bill. The Morgan bill passed
first; the Helm bill in the senate was
indefinitely postponed, Senator Helm
as we'll as Senator Frink voting in IA
vor Of the postponement il order that
action might be had on the Morgan
bill. When the vote was taken on
this bill Senator Frink Is recorded as
having been absent The bill failed to
pass, but when Senator Grow. OF
Whitman county moved for a recon
sideration in order to make further
effort to pass the bill, Senator Frink
voted with him, showing his friendli-
ness to the measure. With respect to
the Railroad Commission bill, it was a
creature of Governor Rogers, tackled
onto another bill which was almost
unanimously voted against by the Re-
pubhcans, in which they were joined
by the middle of the road Populists,
who determined not to allow Rogers
any such liberties. 1t was therefore
not Frink's opposition, but the Popu-
lists themselves who killed the bill.

Announcement.

Owing to the unusual press of work
incident to the campaign, have found
it impossible to visit the people Of
Mason County, and feel that some ap-
ology is due, especially to the Republi-
cans whose support l hope to receive.
However, a residence Of fourteen years
within Mason County as publisher of
this paper, has made us generally
acquainted, and nothing / might say,
in person, would likely change the re-
suits. / believe I know what you
need, and with the aid of Mr. Gunder-
son, (should we both be so fortunate as
to secure election,) certainly expect to
secure some good results in the way OF
legislation, if hard work will accom-
pllsh it; and to return home merit

The Iron Ore Market.

The Iron Trade Review says: The
ore market waits upon pig iron for
the supplementary buying movement
that is expected to take up the bulk
of the yet unsold output of Lake Sup
erior mines for 1900. 1t is not that
BUYERS expect to get lower prices for
ores, but that they want to be more
fully assured by orders actually book
ed. that they can market at a profit
the iron they would make between
May, 1900, and May, 1901, from ore
and coke at prices bringing cost up to
SIG a ton at furnace.
Furnacemen have received notice
from dock companies that the rebate
of cents on ore shipped from the
dock will be discontinued, and the
new regulation is made TO be effected
as of Jan. /. The dock Companies
state that after going through the
month of January on the new wage
schedule for loading ore from docks,
the expense was found to be so greatly
increased that the rebate could not
longer be allowed without loss.

To Compel the Execution of a Lease.

J. M. Underwood has begun another
suit to compel the execution of lease
to mining property on this range.
Thursday he began one against the
Robinson Lake Iron company. and
Friday he began one against FL. V.
Goetchius and others. The property
consists of lots 3, 4, and 6, and the
mel of the sw4 of section I, 62-13, and
it is claimed that last year he made a
contract with the defendants by
which they were to give him 50-year
lease of fine property beginning July
7, 1900. Under that contract he ent-
cred upon the property for the pur-
pose Of exploring for iron ore, and in
that pursuit he expended a consider
able sum of money. Now he wants
The lease and lie says that though he
has demanded it the defendants re-

court to compel them to de- so. The

tons must be mined before July 1,

re given them by County Auditor

are given them by County Auditor
Halden and they are supplied with
the necessary books and blanks with
which to do their work. The work
of assessing real estate is not soheavy
as it might be, however. for there are
not likely to be many changes. The
iron mines will probably remain much
as they were fixed two years ago,
though some of the mines that have
become shippers since then may have
their values pushed up little, and
some Of the little shippess that have
become big ones may undergo the
same operation.
One matter that will probably be
worked out during the proceedings
incidental to the regular tax routine
this year is the question Of the bound
airy between Lake and st. Louis
coun4ies. 1t will be remembered that
there is dispute between the two
counties as to where the boundary
should come, and it is going to be
settled by the auditors putting the
property in the disputed strip on the
tax rolls foa this county. 1t is already
on the rolls for Lake county and of
course when it comes to be taxed in
both counties there will be no lack of
opportunities for getting the question
settled in the courts. for the owners
will Immediately protest against
being taxed in this county. This will
bring the matter before the court.
1t is possible however that it may
be tested in another way, If County
Auditor Halden should refuse to put
the property on the tax rolls it might
be necessary to bring mandamus pro-
ceedings would bring the issue before
the court probably as well as the
other way. The point is whether the
legislature of the state of Minnesota
had a right to change the boundary,
taking property from st. Louis county
and giving it co Lake county without
consulting the people of ohe counties
interested The state laws provide
that that cannot be done, but ST..
Louis county will claim that it has
been done in this case. The ground
upon which the boundary was fixed
by the legislature was that Knife
river, the month of which formerly
acted as the start for the boundary
line was a shifting point, and that in
the course Of years it had moved the
boundary over SO as to swallow up
part.of Lake county, The intent Of
the legislature in fixing the boundary
was merely TO return to Lake county
the territory that st. Louis county
had innucently stolen because Of the
meanderings Of the Knife river.
County Attorney Phelps maintains,
however, that Knife River never
wandered in the manner it is
credited with and that its mouth is
confined SO within rocky walls that it
could not change. So he will try to
knock out the law fixing the bound
airy in one of the ways mentioned.
There is Il large amount of property
involved. but the principal item is
the section 30 iron lands.
