GOING AFTER LOGS
Great Northern Said to Be Contem-
plating More Extensions.
NEW TERRITORY TO BE OPENED
Furnish Considerable
Traffic.

Advices from Itasca county lead to the
belief that the Great Northern is prepar-
ing to interest itself directly in railroad
building into the timber country north OF
its Duluth line, with the end in view OF
giving the twin cities straight line to
the boundary. The purchase of the Brain
erd & Northern, logging railroad, and
its improvement and extension by the
Northern Pacific is likely to be followed
by similar policy on the part Of the
Great Northern in the country to the
east Of the Northern Pacific line. The
immense timber tracts to the north are
to be drawn upon heavily for the supply
Of the next ten years and both roads are
preparing to engage In the traffic. Haul
ing logs to Minneapolis by rail, according
to prominent lumbermen, Is to be one OF
the big features Of the lumber traffic, and
in this the Great Northern desires to
share.
Indications now are that the Great
Northern, through the Eastern Minnesota.
Is becoming interested in the logging
road OF the Itasca Lumber company, which
extends fifty miles north from Deer river
on the Eastern Minnesota. 1t is proposed
to build another twelve miles of this line
to Turtle lake, which will be completed
by the time snow flies. All of the old
steel on the line is being replaced by new,
heavy rails and the road generally inn
proved. 1t is said to be the intention Of
the lumber company to extend the road
still farther within short time, to the
mouth of Rice lake on the Big Fork. That
country Is already well settled and the
settlers are praying for a road. There is
no doubt but that the line can be oper-
ated to profit and it Is generally believed
that the Great Northern is back Of the
improvements.
With this report comes the revival of
the statements that the Great Northern
plans an extension north from Milaca
through the Mile Lacs, Aitkin and Crow
wing country. This would open up more
valuable territory and greatly add to the
revenue Of the Eastern Minnesota.
These extensions would make a large
amount Of additional timber available to
Minneapolis mills and enable the lumber
men to bring 1t here by a direct route.
They would also develop territory that
will prove very valuable for the jobbing
trade Of Minneapolis.

TEXAS OIL NEWS
Now for the OiI-SeIIing Business
the Getting of 1t Is Practically
Accomplished.

w. E. Brice, president of the Saratoga
Oil and Pipe Line Co., is now in the north
completing the preliminary arrangements
for the sale and handling of oil from the
Saratoga and other wells in the Beaumont
oil field. Mr.. Brice is the president of the

an uncertain business venture, but le-

bankers and business men of all kinds OF
ratings are putting money into.
There is no material change in the con-

Clear weather is general this morning
in the whole central region of the coun-

where it is raining. In Minnesota the
temperatures are nearly stationary; else
where they are lower than they were yes
terday morning, except in the western
British Possessions. where they are high
er. In the Ohio valley the temperature
fall is about 20 degrees, on the middle At
lantic and New England coast 1t is from
eight to twelve degrees, and in North, Da-
kota and eastern South Dakota 1t is from
twelve to sixteen degrees. This morn
ing's temperatures are below thirty de-
grees in Manitoba and North Dakota, and
from thirty to thirty-two degrees in
South Dakota. Frosts are reported in the
Lake region and as far south as st. Louis.

SAYS GOODS WERE "PLANTED''
MatrOn Douglass Asserts That She
Was "Jobbed."

Interesting revelations concerning the
management of the workhouse are prom
ised by Mrs. Carrie Douglass, recently de-
posed as matron by Superintendent A. F.
Mcdonald. The pickering preceding and
following her removal resulted in her ar
rest charged with the larceny Of hot
water bag and six towels from the work.
house and this morning she appeared In
the municipal court with Judge Thomas
Canty, her attorney, for arraignment. She
pleaded not guilty and will be tried next
Tuesday, being released on her own re-
cognizance.
Mrs. Douglass confidently expects ac-
quittal. She insists that she locked her
trunk when she left the worlhouse after
being discharged by Superintendent Nc
Donald. When Sergeant Copeland takes
the stand he is expected to swear that the
trunk was unlocked when he searched it
in accordance with warrant issued by
the municipal court. If Mrs. Douglass can
prove that she locked the trunk before her
| departure her story that she is the vic
tim of dirty work" will appear very
plausible
The ex-matron is very bitter against
Superintendent Mcdonald who, she says
objected to her prayers at the table. He
also said that if she was fool enough to
believe in the Roman Catholic religion
she ought to keep her beliefs to herself.
Another charge she makes against Super
intendent Mcdonald is to the effect that
when she received her first check, the lat
ter said:
"If DR.. Ames collects part Of the po-
licemen's pay, don't see why shouldn't
get tips from my help
The case promises to be an interesting
one, as Mrs. Douglass friends are COM
ing to her support.

Oscar Christensen, whose home is at
1923 Knox avenue N, has returned to the
city from Nome, Alaska Mr. Christian
sen says he, with 300 other passengers Of

days the rations doled out to passengers
consisted Of cup of coffee and a small
portion of mush daily. At one time there
was riot on board, a number of men
raiding the pantry and stealing food found
there. Mr.. Christensen accuses the
captain Of the boat of selling supplies at
Nome, and says there would not have been
enough to go around, even If the boat had
not been delayed. There was much suf-
fering among the women and children
Several passengers, he says, are preparing
to sue the boats owners when he left

Taxpayers League Appeals From
One Filed by DIR. KfstIer.

The Taxpayers League has appealed from
the allowance Of bill Of $40 In favor of Dr.
]. M. Kistler, approved by the county COM
missioners. The bill was for the care Of two
scarlet fever patients at the county jail, who
were sick for fourteen days. The grounds for
the appeal are that DR.. Kistler had no right
to contract the bill, that some of the items
OF the same are excessive and that the orig
inal parties to whom a portion of the money
was payable should have filed their bills
direct and not through DR.. KistIer

SANTA FE CUTS RATE
Trying to Stop Secret Deals by
Bold Move.

Kansas City, Aug. 24-Douglas Dali
lam, commercial agent of the Santa Fe
went before the Kansas City board OF
trade yesterday morning and announc-
ed that his road would carry all wheat
on which disposition orders We're re-
ceived before evening from Kansas
City to Chicago for cents per 100
pounds. In this connection he declared
that competitive lines had been for
some time recently making the z cent
rate on wheat between Kansas City
and Chicago. but that the Santa F'e's
object in announcing it was solely with
a view Of securing disposition of load
ed cars in Kansas City yards
The grain men promised to aid US in
correcting conditions at Kansas City,
said Mr.. Dallam, "and we now propose
to give them the opportunity. We viii
haul only our own cars at this rate.
We are not putting it in for the pur-
pose of securing the haul to Chicago,
for if such was our object we would
have put it in some time ago, when
other lines did so secretly. We would
much prefer to have our cars unlOaded
promptly at Kansas City, as we are
TAR behind in our orders in the coun-
try. All cars which have been in the
Kansas City yards three days, and for
which we do not receive disposition or
ders before evening, will be sent to the
elevator. This practice win be carried
out daily from now on
wheat in the Santa Fe yards yesterday
morning. Disposition orders were re
ceived for the majority of these by last
evening. Mr.. Dallan said yesterday
afternoon that thereceipts of wheat dur
ing the night would decide whether or
not the cent rate would be made ef-
fective today. It is possible the Santa
FNe Will continue to make this rate op-
enly while wheat shipments continue
heavy.
Many of the cars in the Santa Fe
yards yesterday We're originally destin-
ed for transfer to the Chicago Great
Western. The latter road is still block
ed and the majority of these were ta-
ken to Chicago last night by the Santa
Fe at the cent rate. The Great West
ern expects to be able to handle Santa
Fe transfers within a day or two.
The z cent rate is cut of 3 cents un-
der the agreed rate of 10 cents. In
view of the recent "bracing up by
western arrangements. the declaration
of Mr.. Dallam was something of a
shock to his associates in Kansas City.
