PUT TO THE TEST.

Many prominent trust repre-
sentatives, the news dispatches
announce, are visiting Washing
ton for the purpose of ascertain
ing President Roosevelt's views
toward the trust question and the
attitude which he is likely to take
in his message to congress. In
all probability there is much un-
easiness felt by the syndicates
with regard to President Roose-
velt's policy on this issue. His
Minneapolis speech, made when
he had no reason to anticipate be-
ing called to the presidency, was
an emphatic utterancs. The gen.
eral understanding is that Mr..
Roosevelt has made q careful
study of the operation of these
great combinations of capital and
has reached the conclusion that
they are menace to the general
welfare. With such conclusion
reached there is a belief that
President Roosevelt will align
himself on tho side of the people
against the trusts. If these
monopoly corporations could have
controlled events Mr.. Roosevelt
would never have attained a
prominent place in American
public life. They have distrusted
him from the beginning. The
trusts have consistently feared
him as bold man likely to serve
the people in preference to being
the servant of the monopoly caste.
Their representative in public life,
Mark Hanna, has always been
antagonistic to Roosevelt's adj
vancement and prompt to belittle
Roosevelt and to create the i'm
preston that he was an unsafe
statesman. Now that the man 50
unfavorably regarded by the
trusts and their agent is Presi-
dent of the United States a neces.
s,ty for cajoling or coercing him
into syndicate submission is sud.
denly created. Every influence
possessed by the trusts will be
brought to bear on President
Roosevelt to this end. Whateve,
can be done to make him a trust
instrument will assuredly be done
The situation thus created is an
interesting one. President Roose.
welt is now probably about to
undergo the severest test yet
applied to his integrity as an
American aud q friend of the
people.

EVEN some of our republican
friends have become sick of fur.
nishing pap for the ''infant in.
dustries'' of which We heard sc
much a few years ago. The tariff
has been found to be tax, and il
seems that even leading republi-
cans now see the injustice of max
ing the foreigner CD pay it. The
next democratic platform must
present strong anti-tariff plank
and the people will vote for it.

COST OF RAISING STOCK.

After asserting that no state or
territory in the United States is
freer from disease for stock than
North Dakota, and that a yesrling
steer can be raised here cheaper
than in any other state in the
union. J. A. Atkinson of Sykes
ton, Wells county, N. d., gives the
following interesting figures, in
the Fargo Record, as to the cost
of raising stock in the JamesRiver
Valley. He says:
Now as to the cost OF production:
1 will figure that on the basis OF 100
head, taking the cost of 100 COWS at
s35 per head, making $500; cost OF
shed ample to shelter 100 head, 800.
Interest on $4,000 at 8 per cent. $ $50

ing at 20 per cent.................... 20

Cost OF man and board for four

Total cost OF 100 head of year
lngs ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. GU
To raise steer the second year, you
leave off the item OF interest on cost Of
COW, $3.50, and one aud half tons OIL
hay at 40 cents per ton. making in all
$3.4O; deduct this amount from $6.4O
leaving SO, the cost of caring for stee,
the second year, and making a two year
old steer cost $9.40.
[ would say in explanation OF
the cost of hay, that for several
years I have kept an itemized
account of cutting and stacking
the same, allowing thee dollars
per day for each man or boy and
team, and that forty cents per ton
has been rather over than under
the cost. As the items of cost of
all else, except hay and shelter,
is about the same here as upon the
open range, [ will allow the reader
to form his own conclusions which
place to risk. I am satisfied to
take my chances here. While I
put the amount of hay per head at
three tons, I have seldom found
it necessary to feed that amount;
but with all that amount of hay
on hand in the fall, stockman
can feel safe that his stock are not
suffering under any circum-
stances. This winter I do not
think stock are going to consume
an average of two tons per head.

MONDAYS MEETING.

The same aldermen were present at
mittee appointed to draft new poor con-
tract reported form of contract, which
the board adopted as the contract to be
submitted to the contractor for care OF
the poor.
Aid. Higgins thought the board should
take action at once toward awarding the
contract. The other three aldermen pres
ent thought the matter should beldeferred
until Aid. Patten could be present, and
this suggestion prevailed.
The board took a recess until Wednes-
day evening, in order that the full board
might be present, and so that each man
who had signified his desire to become the
contractor for care of the poor could be
notified that new form of contract had
been adopted by the city and to make
new bids or withdraw. With their bids,
the contractors are requested to submit
names of their sureties. The board of
aldermen reserves the right to reject any
or all bids.
After the board had taken recess to
cussion after the meeting, change in the
contract was suggested, and a special
meeting was called to order.
The vote adopting the contract as read
was reconsidered, and it was voted to
strike out the clause reading sPersons al
ready at the date of this contract main
tanned by the city as insane persons over
twenty years OF age are also excepted from
this agreement" and inserting the clause,
sit is expressly understood and agreed
that under this contract the party OF the
first part shall furnish support and main
tenance for Tena Babbidge.n The con-
tract as amended was then adopted, and
the meeting adjourned.
THE NEW CONTRACT.
AS many are interested in this poor
contract, THE AMERICAN prints it in full
below. The principal changes from the
old contract are as follows: This con-
tract is binding for five years, while
under the old contract, the contractor
could throw up his contract at the end of
one year by giving three months notice.
Under the old contract the city had to
take care OF pauper idiots as Well as its
insane; under the new contract the con-
tractor must take care of pauper idiots.
Under the new contract, the contractor
must expend s25 annually in repairs on
farm buildings. There are many other

quietly reading a paper 10

''Throw up your hands," cried
one conventionally.
"Good evening, replied Lars, who
speedily discovered that it was q
business call and became meek ac-
cordingly.
One visitor kept gun a foot long
under the merchants nose and the
other rifled the safe. The booty Sc.
cured was 500. To the excited
crowd which visited the store dur
ing the following two hours Lars ex-
planned: II could have dropped
them both when they ran out of the
store, but had no weapons.
The men were strangers.

to Build a stamp Min.

According to the Financial News
the directors OF the Adventure Con-
solidated Mining Company have de-
cided to build q three-head stamp
mill, with a capacity for handling
1900 tons of rock daily. They have
not as yet decided on a site for the
mill, but they have three under con-
sideration, and will probably make
selection within few days.
The Adventure has pushed de-
velopment work very rapidly during
the past year, and now has, it is
stated, nearly 10000 feet of new
openings. The management feels
certain that it will experience no
difficulty in supplying the new
stamp mill with rock when it is
ready for operations. The mill will
be built during the coming summer.

A GIGANTIC MOVE.
A 500 Company Expects to Bring

The following clipping from the
Minneapolis Journal, dated Duluth,
January II, goes to prove that Sault
Ste. Marie has great future before
it, il the plans of General Manager
II. H. Clergue, of the Lake Superior
Power company, are brought to
successful examinations:
''The Lake Superior Power com
pany, mentioned in dispatches as
being in combine to erect Welland

works except at Sault Ste. Marie.

pany, is now in London inaugural

which he expects to bring over
so. 900 immigrants in the next five
years. The Lake Superior Power
company has just commenced work
at the 500 on IA 500-ton blast furnace,
a 200-ton open hearth plant and
500 ton nickel steel rail mill. The
company has just been guaranteed

blild their docks for transhipment
from barges of ocean going freight
to the ships it now has under way

begin the expectation of iron ore
as well as manufactured products. F"
II 10000 immigrants are brought
over from Europe during the next
five years to work 10 the plants and
mines controlled by the Lake Su-
perior Power company, and the ma
jority of them are dumped into the
American and Canadian 500 and the
mines about Michipicoten, the cop

Aex wave Of this great immigration,
as hundreds of the strangers will
undoubtedly come northward to try
their fortunes in the great copper
mines OF Houghton county. Under
such conditions the population of
the district cannot help but increase
by leaps and bounds for the next
decade as it has in the past. In
fact, the entire upper peninsula
seems destined for glorious future.
