AN INSPECTOR LACKED UP
He Had Waived Rules Upon His own
Authority.

Considerable gossip has been going
around in grain circles about an investiga-
tion in the local office Of the state grain
inspector, caused by friction between one
Of the inspectors and local grain receiv-
ing house. 1t was rumored that the
rules we're being Systematically violated
and that the man In question had been
favoring this particular house. Investi-
cation, however, showed that there was
no collision in the case and that the in
spector in question acted through ignor-
ance o rcarelessness.
Chief Inspector Barncard admitted that
one Of the employees of the state grain in
spection department had been on the rack
on serious charge. 1t was of nature to
make him liable not only to dismissal
from Office btu to punishment under the
state law as well. He was accused of
tampering with the seals on the cars and
with allowing local grain receiving
house to draw samples from the cars on
their own account. The man was immedi-
ately dropped out, but upon investigation
It was found that he had no evil intention
mittee was convinced that he had acted
without any thought of doing wrong and
after receiving a severe reprimand, he
was reinstated. Being good man In
every respect and having an excellent
record, 1t was decided to overlook his
offense, but he was not reinstated until
the investigators had convinced them
selves to their entire satisfaction that
there was no evidence of anything
crooked.

STANDARD OIL MEN
Northwestern Representatives Meet
to Discuss District Trade.

1.-THE potentiality OF wealth beyond the
dreams Of avarice," as DR.. Samuel Johnson
remarked when he gazed upon the barrels
and watts of Patron Thrale's brewery, was
manifest in the West Hotel this morning
when SOM thirty or forty representatives of
the Standard Oil company got together for
a little business session.
The ''magnates" at the meeting were
mostly Minneapolis and st. Paul men and
northwestern travelling men and agents.
Fargo, Mankato, La Crosse and other cities
were represented. The potent officers from
the east were L. J. Drake, general manager,
Chicago; T. H. Hawks, w. p. Cowan and H.
s. Morton from the same city. New York 8
contingent included s. H. Paine and Walter
Jennings.
L. J. Drake of Chicago said the meeting
had no special significance. 1t was called
for the purpose of talking over trade mat
ters of no interest to the general public
and would terminate with to-day's session
I'VE are not going to raise or lower the
price of oil.' said Mr.. Drake, "or do any
thing out OF the ordinary. We get to-
over things, that's all. No, we have no
are not here to gobble up any independent
concerns, and all we hope to do is to work
hard and make an honest living"
The STANDARD Oil men will not banquet,
neither will they break bread together, ex-
cept as the meeting may segregate into lit
tie coteries. Every man will look out for
himself. The oil was inspected, so to speak,
in the clubroom Of the West.

LEGAL LIGHT ON BONDS
Opinions as to Bonds Which Mayor
Ames Won't Sign.

The attitude of legal experts toward the
permanent improvement bonds, which
Mayor Ames refuses to sign in order that
they may be transferred to Stoddard. Nye
q Co., the purchasers, seems to have been
misunderstood. When the bids were first
advertised, the council committee having
the matter in charge asked the opinion Of
Storey, Thorndike & Palmer, lawyers. of
Boston, as to the legality of the issue. The
firm in reply did not say that the bonds
would not be valid, but simply declined to
give an opinion until the supreme court
had passed upon the constitutionality of
the act under which the issue was author-
lied, citing, however, an adverse decision
OF the supreme court Of eight years ago,
but overlooking, apparently, several more
recent decisions.
Stoddard, Nye & Co. consulted Judge
Dillon Of New oYrk city in order to make
sure Of their ground. The judges opinion,
1t seems, was not dubious" as incor-
rectly stated in T h g Journal yester-
day, but was to the eect that the city
could legally issue the bonds. So far as
legal opinions go, therefore, Stoddard,
Nye & Co. and the Minnesota Loan and
Trust company, the joint bidders, feel per-
fectly safe in the purchase, and are, there
fore, asking the court to compel the mayor
to act in accordance with the wishes Of
the city council. The matter will be heard
tomorrow

HER BURNS PROVED FATAL
HrLMAR LARSON UPSET A LAMP
Her Clothing Was Burned OF and
She fingered in Great Pain
for Six Hours.

Miss Hilmar Larson, 20 years old, died
at st. Barnabas hospital at o'clock this
morning from burns inflicted last night
by the accidental overturning of kero-
sene lamp in her sisters home, 20 East
man avenue, Nieollet island Miss Lar
son was sewing and about 10 o'clock arose
from her chair. In so doing she tipped a
small sewing table and lamp was thrown
to the floor. The oil was spilled and i'm
mediately ignited The young woman
attempted to extinguish the flames and
her dress caught fire. Almost completely
enyeloped in flames she ran down stairs.
Her screams attracted Mr. and Mrs. Bru-
mo who lived below and with Mrs. Rowe,
Miss Larson's sister, they succeeded in
smothering the fire by wrapping the young
woman in blankets. BY that time, how
ever, the clothing had been burned nearly
off the victim and her body was one mass
OF burns. She was taken to St. Barnabas
hospital where she fingered in great pain
until death came. In attempting to save
her sister, Mrs. Rowe had her hands Sc
verely burned. The wounds were dressed
at the hospital.
The fire in the house was extinguished
without the aid of the department.

ALINE TOLA CROSSE
To Be Built by Rapid Service Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co.
CONNECTING WITH TWIN CITY
Work Expected to he Completed
EARLY In December-The
Duluth Line.

| President Elder III. Moulton of the
Rapid Service Telephone and Telegraph
| company has formally announced that a
| long distance copper circuit is to be es-
| tablished between Minneapolis and La
Crosse, Wis. The line will correspond in
| quality to the construction of the Twin
! City Telephone company lines in connec-
| tion with which it will be operated. In
other words it will be of the best and most
| modern type. The line will cost at least
| $4,000. The service will supply towns
along the route. At La Crosse it will be
operated in connection with the La Crosse
Telephone company, and at Winona with
! the Winona Telephone company, both in
dependent institutions claiming the lar
gest list of subscribers in each city.
The men for the construction crew are
being brought together, and the building
OF this line will be under way In about
ten days. Work will be started from one
end only and will be completed about
Dec. 1.
Mr.. Moulton announces that the Con-
solidated Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, of which he is also president, has
about 100 men working from both ends on
circuit line to Duluth. It will be ready
for use about the middle Of November,
and will cost about $4,000. AS with the
LA Crosse line the route has not been
fully laid out. However an air line will
be run from Minneapolis about forty
miles toward Cambridge. and fyom Duluth
the direction will be to Carlton. When
this is completed the crews will be trans
ferred to the La Crosse line. The Oonsol-
idated company will cooperate with the
Twin City company in Minneapolis, the
Zenith City Telephone company at Duluth
and the Peoples Telephone company at
Superior
Mr.. Moulton believes that the people in
| this part Of the country do not thoroughly
appreciate the growth of the independent
companies, but in Ohio, Indiana, West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and
other states the increase during the year
has been very noticeable. Mr.. Moulton
was in Chicago last week and in going
among the manufacturers of independent
supplies learned that 1000 instruments a
day were being shipped out. Nobody" I"
| said he, "has any conception of the magni-
tude Of the independent movement unless
| he comes in contact with these facts"
Mr.. Moulton furnished the following ta-
BILE of Independent exchanges in the states
| in which Minnesota is directly interested: ::
| Minnesota, 210; Michigan, 223; Wiscon-
sin, 217; Iowa, 440; Illinois, 5O7 Ohio 495 !.
| These have an aggregate of 67,597 sub
| scribers, and Indiana with 427 exchanges
has 62.496 subscribers.

STATE LANDS ARE CHEAP
But Auditor Dunn Will Insist on
Fair Prices.


Auditor Dunn has not established exor-
bitant prices for the state land which is to
be sold this fall, in the estimation Of land
agents. Mr.. Dunn does not propose to
sell any land under 81 per acre. Roseau
county acre age, which is to be sold Oct.
II, must bring in from 81 to SO, or no sale.
Said land agen this morning:
The people are land crazy. Trains
come in loaded with land seekers. l
know a man in the land business who has
no office, but buys cheap tickets, interests
some of the passengers on the train which
he boards, introduces them to a firm of
laid agents at destination gets his own
name on the books for a commission, and
returns to the city while the firm is max
ing the sale.
Cass county lands and those in Grow
Wing, which have a different soil from
that of Roseau lands, brings from $3.50 to
$500 per acre. The Roseau county land
is rather wet but it raises good crops.
The Great Northern is asking from SS to
$12 for land along the line in Kittson and
Marshall counties, adjoining, yet land in
Roseau which is forty or fifty miles from
any railroad brings So. In Pembna county,
across the line in North Dakota, from SIT to
$25 per acre is the price asked.
1t is a strange thing that we cannot sell
good clay lands for 50 to $3.50 per acre near
town. There Is plenty OF good land within
POO miles of Minneapolis which is being
overlooked. 1t raises all kinds of crops
while the northern acreage yields only
spring wheat and rye and the season is very
short.
