The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-12-21

The iron ore rate case which has
been occupying the attention of the
Estate railroad and warehouse commits
| sion more or less for the past few
weeks, seems destined to prove a
hopeless fizzle so far as obtaining a
reduction in the ore rate is concerned.
To the residents of the iron ranges
the whole affair is of little conse-
Iquence and were the reduction in
rates procured would in no way react
TO tile benefit of the independent
mine owner. The furnaeemen and
manufacturer would be the only ones
benefited
liz the ore rates are reduced, extern
siYe railroad improvements by the ore
carriers will be greatly curtailed and
the wages of their employees certainly
lowered. Nearly all of the wage
schedules of ore carrying roads are
based on existing ore rates, and the
maintenance Of such schedules will
depend upon the continuance of such
rates Based on the present gross
earnings. a reduction Of 10 cents per
ton in the existing ore rates alone
will mean a loss to the state and peo-
pie Of Minnesota of more than $500
a year in taxes.
The last Investigation into iron ore
rates were made i'm 1898 and after sew
eral morths consideration was drop
ped by the commission. 1t is not IN
likely that the present investigation
will share the same fate. A recent
dispatch from st Paul to the Duluth
News Tribune says of the subject:
''The iron ore rate hearing is to be
resumed again tomorrow before the
state railroad and warehouse COM
mission.
The Duluth. Missabe s. Northern
road, whose case has been undergoing
a series of continuences during the
past month";, the last of which was
taken Tuesday. will come before the
body.
1t is doubtful if any satisfactory
progress will be made in the case, as
the counsel for the defendant road
have reiterated their inability to pro-
cure the desired testimony with
in the time allotted. and nothing can
be done until this evidence is forth
coming.
The testimony, up to the present
time, has. been upon the right of WY
of the company and the cost of repre-
ducing the road; this has been COM
pleted apparently to a satisfactory
degree, aud now the situation de-
mands that the especial contracts"
by which the Missabe does business
with the shippers, be brought into
evidence.
The attorneys have asserted several
times that these contracts. the most
important of them at least, are in
New York and that it will not be pos
sible for them to be procured without
one of the council making trip after
them. This being the case. it would
seem rather improbable that the case
will be proceeded with this morning.
The commission will assemble, how
ever, and the railroad will. in all
probability be represented.
Next Monday is the time set for the
hearing of the case of the Eastern
Minnesota and the third road inyolv-
ed, the Duluth & Iron Range It be-
ing practically impossible to get the
Missabe out of the way by that time,
it begins to look now as il there would
be very decisive collision OF these
which is not now apparent.

pared with what they We're a few years

True, IL may be said that business OF
certain kinds there is not so brisk as
formerly This is hard on a certain class
OF heartless commercial parasites who
cry that these places have been ruined,

alton for summer resorts for all decent
people.
II sincerely trust the News will con-
tinue this fight until public sentiment is
thoroughly aroused on the subject, and
proper legislation is demanded"
ALDERMAN GRAY'S VIEW.
Alderman Abraham Gray. OF the Second
ward. is a far-seeing man, and his en-
dorsement of the News proposition should
carry considerable influence with IT.
Alderman Gray gave IT as his opinion
that Crescent Park and the adjoining
lands, including, of course. Bullock's
Point, would be a most suitable spot for
a state reservation. .fg..
He referred to the present indebtedness
OF Rhode Island, and the continued need
of appropriations for improvements. ETC.
lie argued. however. that the state
should certainly secure a site for park
on the shores of Narragansett Bay before
the opportunity is lost.
