The Crookston Times, in speaking
OF the work done by the legislature,
pays the following tribute to Senator
Grindeland, of Marshall county, and
his services in securing beneficial
legislation:
The upper portion Of the Red River
Valley appears to have been very
fortunate in the selection Of some Of
it's members, Judging by results. In
the upper house, it would seem that
Senator GrindeIand, Of Marshall
county, is entitled to first honOrs for
effective work in securing legislation
of general interest to the state and
more particularly in measures hav-
ing direct interest to this section Of
Minnesota. His vote on the gross
earnings and the primary election
bills was in accord with the views OF
the majority OF the people of the
state, and he. was the author OF a
practical measure providing for
complete system OF construction OF
county drainage, to take the place Of
the detective law under which cOun-
ties have heretofore labored. The
weight of his influence was consider
able in securing the appropriation
to increase the effectiveness Of the
work OF the experiment station here,
in which he has always felt a great
interest. He rendered valuable as
sistance in securing the passage OF
the bill for the $4,000 OF a drainage
appropriation and in many other
measures his efforts have been
exerted, in a manner that merits the
hearty approval OF the residents Of
the upper country. The represent
atives from Polk county always
found him ready to cooperate with
them in securing meritorious legis-
lation.

MAYOR johnson, OF Fargo, has
recently returned from a trip to Eu-
rope and says that 10000 Scandi-
navians will come to the United
States this year, many of them young
men who wish to avoid consumption
into the army. 1t is possible that
the mayor is off on his figures, how
ever, as Scandinavian emigration
has been very light for many years,
and the Scandinavian young men
are not as afraid OF real militarism
as some American young men are OF
the bogus article in this country.

The Minnesota legislature has ad-
journed and the solons have gone
home. This has been good" leg
islature, and the records of most
members is such that they need have
no fear to meet their constituents. |
While there has been nothing par
ticularly snowy about it's work, and
very little side play to the galleries,
yet on the whole it has been an earn
est hard. working body, and a num-
Der OF good wholesome laws are en-
tered to it's credit, and some perhaps
that are not so good, yet the latter
are necessary in order that the for
mer may appear in greater relief.
One OF the first acts to the credit Of
this legislature is the election OF two
United States senators after a friend
~ contest, but without any scandal
as has disgraced the legislature OF so
many states. Among the important
laws passed, the primary election law
probably is entitled to first place.
This law makes the people, each in
dividual voter, the actual nOninat-
inc power, and is intended as re-
form measure aiming at purity in
politics, on the same line az the Aus
tra|ian ballot system. The law Gre
atinw II tax commission to revise
an.i amend the tax laws is another
important measure. This commits
sion will report at special session
OF the Legislature to be called in Feb
ruary next, and it is hoped that it
will result in the enactment Of meas
ur-s that will give more just and
equitable taxation OF all kinds of
property. The board Of control bill
it is claimed will save the state con-
siderable money in running the state
institutions. The gross earnings law
increasing the rate from to per
per cent is intended to make the rail
roads share more equitably the bur-
den of taXatio These and many
other laws for the benefit OF the peo-
pie stand to the credit Of the Repub-
}ican Legislature OF 1901.

FL Reno, o. T, Aug. 6.-One Of the
worst hold-ups that has occurred IN the
territory is reported TO have occurred be-
tween Lawton and Rush Springs sunday
evening at o'clock, and If oue-half Of
the reports that are brought in are true.
the three men who are supposed TO have
committed the act certainly had their
plans well laid and their daring and
boldness rarely equalIed. according TO
the best evidence that can be obtained.

to have been members of the several
wagons held up. We learn that awagon

DR.. BeanbIossom, his son and two other

returned to Rush Springs with the wound
ed boy. but Just as they reached town the
lad died. Other parties coming in today
say that three men bearing the same de-
scription held up several other teams be-
fore and after the robbing of DR.. Bean
blossom and his crowd. and judging from
these reports it appears that six or eight
of these outfits and wagons were held up
and several hundred dollars taken. There
is no one able to give a description Of the
men, but a.. agree that they were mount
ed on good horses. The United States
marshal. upon receipt Of the news. set
out in search of the thieves. One of the
strongest evidences Of their well laid
scheme was the cutting OF the telegraph
wires between Fort sill and Rush Springs
yesterday afternoon about three o'clock.
This prevented any Of the marshals who
are stationed at Lawton from receiving
any word until this evening.

Medford, 0. T., Aus. 6.-The Daily Mail
says: Yesterday evening about O'Clock

a bin containing 800 bushels Of wheat

the grain in the north bin 500 bushels

Al Hast night men were at work show

The remaining bin, though heavily
braced, gives evidence Of early collapse
unles srelieved Of the pressure of the

complished as rapidly as possible.
To demonstrate the pressure against
the outside wall Of the bin that collapsed.
one can imagine its force when we state
that the iron rods that passed through
theb uilding from side to side, were torn
through AKA hard pine sticks with as
much ease as one would pull a needle
through a piece of cloth.
The disaster is to be regretted. not only
because Of the loss Of so many dollars,
but moro especially on account Of the in
convenience and delay in this the busiest

ployers.
~"Resolved, that we buy such coal
only as is mined by companies who
have granted the demands of organ
lied labor.
Resolved that we donate 500 to
their support in this fight"
Following the adoption of the reso-
luton 1t was announced hat the re-
quest for assistance would also be car
ried into the meetings of the local
unions within the neXt two weeks. Mr..
Duncan announced that a list of the
yards using the coal mined by union
miners would be forwarded by the ex-
ecutlNe committee this week.

HAZING DENOUNCED
BY THE COMMITTEE

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE report of
the special congressional committee
which investigated the hazing of Cadet
Booz, which was the general subject of
investigation at West Point, was sub
mitted TO the House by the chairman,
Representative Dick. together with n
bill making stringent regulations
against hazing, fighting and all brutal
practices.
The report is an exhaustive review
of the practice of hazing in all its
forms, and while moderate in tone is
nevertheless n stringent arraignment
of the many alleged brutal practices
enumerated. 1t specifies more than
o distinct methods of annoying and
~harassing fourth class men and de-
scribes them in detail. The report
states that a system of fighting has
grown up which is shocking in its
character, The fights are described,
and the committee states that the
Il West Point code Is more vicious than
the Queensbury code.
n The committee held that fighting Is
tthe worst form of hazing. The report
Bays that such fighting as thai at West
Point is n felony according to the stat
ntes In many of the states, and the time
has come when Congress must decide
whether fights, Which are crimes else
where, shal continue at West Point.
The committee finds hat Cadets

@hazed until they tainted. while others
were hazed until they were sick.
