Ore tonnage.

The Iron Trade Review says: A
sharp demand for ore carrying ton
mage brought about condition which
permitted certain vessel owners to
force shippers to pay an advance of 10
cents on the Duluth rate last Satur-
day. Following this another charter
was made on Monday at the same
rate. and Immediately renewed in
terest in the fall ore trade was dis
cernable. Ore shippers who contend
that the conditions do not warrant
the advance have strenuously opposed
it and it has not spread beyond Du-

side track which runs into the
machine shop. About this time
Captain Hooper started across the
track toward the machine shop. The
morning air was sharp, and as the
captain walked along he pulled up
the collar Of his canvas coat. He was
thus engaged when the engine struck
him. There was no fireman in the
engine, and Mr.. Newton was on the
opposite side and consequently did
not see the captain, or the accident
might have been averted. When he
was discovered the captain was dead.
The wheels had passed over his body,
mangling it frightfully."
Mr.. Hooper leaves wife and four
children, Mrs. Hooper and three of
the children being in England on
visit. He was Al years of age and has
lived on the Mesaba range since 1892
before which he was employed at the
Minnesota mine at Soudan. The re-
mains were taken to Duluth and
placed in vault where they will re-
main until Mrs. Hooper returns. The
Virginian in commenting on the
death said:

in surface and underground mines is

cate that the movement during Sept

the opening of September has been
more than wiped out.

farms he saw already started in the
northern part of the state. Some of
these had been developed soma time
and the farmers were getting good
crops off their land.
General Andrews says that North
ern Minnesota has some of the pref
test country he has ever seen, and
there is no reason why the northern
part Of the state should not become a
close competitor of the southern
part, in the way of agricultural de-
velopment.
There is a time coming when the
business Of the land Office in Duluth
will become as slack as at other Of
fees in the country where the gov
eminent lands have been pretty we'll
taken up, but there is still a lot of
government land available in Min.
nesota and that time is yet a long
way off.

Supt. NJ Mccarthy of the Elba
mine near Mckinley has resigned his
position and will shortly leave for
Alabama where he has accepted a
position with the Tennessee Coal &

D. w. Owens, who has for many
years held the position as surface

Death of Capt. Hooper.

Some mistaken ideas seemed to be
gained from the press reports in re-
gard to the manner in which Capt. j.
H. Hooper of the Mountain Iron
mine met his death. The Virginia
papers bring the following version OF
the tragedy:
s'The accident occurred about 6
o'clock in the morning. Captain
Hooper and Master Mechanic I. New

ing to an engine which needed over
hauling. Shortly afterward Mr..
Newton stepped into the cab and

Holding the Timber.

Dealers in pine timber lands in
Northern Minnesota are complaining
of the quietness of the market at the
present time. which, they declare, is
due to the owners Of pine. 1t is
claimed by those who have been
negotiating deals for the past few
years that the prices timber owners
have put on their stumpage is soaring
away would-be purchasers. that the
people who intended investing in pine
lands figure that il pine stumpage is
a good thing to hold. 1t is an equally
good plan for them to hang onto their
money, or invest 1T In other channels
where they may get immediate re-
turns.

January 1, the Date.

| The fee system in the office of the
sheriff of St. Louis county has less
than three months to run, under the
law passed by the last legislature. On
Jan. 1, 1902, the office will go on a
salary basis, and for the last year of
his present term, Sheriff Sargent will
get $4,000, and the fees will 60 to the
county.
A mistaken idea of the provisions
of the law became prevalent when it
was under discussion. and it was never
corrected. It was stated that the
deputies would be employed by the
county board, and 1t was argued that
this would throw too much politics
into the power of the board. AS a
matter of fact the sheriff himself will
select his deputies as now, but the
board will decide how many he is to
have and how much each of them is
to get. 1t is provided that the salary
of no deputy shall exceed $500 per
year. There is only one deputy,
the under-sheriff, who will get as
much as that. In case of riot the
sheriff may appoint sufficient num-
Der of deputies to keep the peace, who
shall get SO per day.
One feature of the new deal will not
be pleasant to people having much
business to do with the sheriff's office,
and that is in reference to credits.
At present attorneys run monthly
bills with the sheriff, and he risks
their being paid. Under the salary
system this will be guarded much
more carefully, as the sheriff will
probably be personally responsible to
the county for unpaid bills. Another
thing is that possibility. in excep-
tional cases, it may now seem advis-
able to the sheriff to abate charges lie
is legally entitled to make. When he
is working for the county he will
hardly be able to DO this,

Big Business in Lands.

The great stride in the development
of Northern Minnesota that is evil
denced by the immense amount of
railroad building is IA fine thing to
contemplate but there is still another
evidence that means even more to the
state than this. The railroads are
for the most part built for the pur-
posS Of reaching tracts of timber.
The other feature that promises more
for the permanent welfare of the state
is the large business in lands that is
going on.
The good demand for railroad and
cut over lands in this section has
been frequently exploited ty the
newspapers. Not so much has been
heard, however, of what Uncle Sam.
the original proprietor of the soil, is
doing. He is just as busy as the other
interests owning lands.
The business of the Duluth United
States land office at the present time,
and for several months, has been
something remarkable. The office
has led all the othe: land offices in the
country in the amount Of business
done in the last two fiscal years. Its,
office force is about double that in
other offices, and yet hardly large
enough to handle the amount of
business transacted through it.
There has been a rush Of settlers,
bona fide settlers. too, it is believed,
for the river valley lands of Northern
Minnesota, For years these lands
have lain dormant after being strip
ped of their timber, but now they are
being gobbled up by the prospective
homesteader at rapid rate.
There is not day passes that the
Office is not thronged with men who
are looking up government lands for
homesteads, and the proofs Of home
steads already granted are being ex-
amined carefully. Townsites are
being laid out along the proposed
lines of new railroads and within the
next five years it is prophesied that a
large number of prosperous towns will
spring up all over Northern Mime
sofa.
The large sales of cut over pine
lands have been frequently COM
mented on. These lands are being
divided up into good sized farms and
re-sold or leased to settlers to develop
the agricultural possibilities.
General G. g. Andrews, the state
fire warden, who but recently re-
turned from the extreme northern
portion of the state, said that he was
surprised at the number of little

Many Farming Claims.

A large amount of homestead land
is being taken up in the Vermilion
river and Little Fork country. There
is strip Of land in the Little Fork
country $50 miles long by ten or more
miles wide that will make some of
the finest farming land in the state
so we are Informed. Several colonies
of settlers are going in weekly being
encouraged by the railroad now build
ing from Virginia to that country.

Track Elevation Mean. Profit.

Whenever American cities have sought to
eliminate grade-crossings by the elevation
or depression Of steam railroad tracks the
corporation interests have sought assidu-
ouSly 10 create the impression that the pro-
posed improvements were solely for the
benefit of the community and the private
welfare of individual citizens. So strongly
has this idea taken root in the public mind
that legislators have usually approached
the necessary preliminaries upon the as
sumption that the corporations were to be
asked OF forced TO expend heavily without
a measure OF return. This has in many
cases unjustly caused divisions OF cost be-
tween the railroad and the public 1t is
impossible TO know precisely how far this
conception Of the railroads status inftu-
eHced Congress in the recent enactments
which have solved the local grade-crossing
problem at a tremendous public expense
II may safely be assumed however, that

proportion OF expenditure through the an
pLcation OF the public benefit" principle

In those states where the railroads have
been treated private enterprises pri-
Hartly and as public benefactors second

proaches justice to the citizens than in
some other communities. Newark is now

road and a disposition has arisen among
certain citizens to urge the adoption of the
railroads. plans with thought solely TO the
securing Of the desired changes OF grade

taxpayers In combating this effort the
Newark News has contributed an interesting
Item to the grade-crossing lore in the form
OF the following quotation from the annual
report OF President Truesdale of the Lack
awanna road:

elevation. additional new main tracks, sta
tions and other facilities for safe and ef-
ficient handling thereof Economies can
thus be effected which win aggregate al
most enough to pay interest on the cost
of the work.
1t Is a fair assumption that the same
view is privately held by every other far
seeing railroad official 1t Is obvious that
the transportation lines of the country can
not expect to grow forever at the expense
of the public thoroughfares. The freight
and passenger business is increasing at a
phenomenal rate, but there is yet and there
will remain large use for the streets of
cities. Human life must be protected even
though the railroads are checked in their
expansion. Here, then, is a meeting of two
strong forces. the demands of commerce on
the one hand and the demands of humanity
and of public convenience on the other.
Unless the railroads are to be allowed to
dominate every terminal city and to alb
street after street. elevation or depression
must come.
The verdict of common sense and self
preservation has been rendered by the ma
jority of people in favor of some other
mode of railroad expansion and thus the
issue. as finally recast, lies between rail-
road stagnation with grade-crossings and
consequent loss of business. and improved
terminals largely at railroad expense with
consequent profits notwithsta nding. Pres
1dent Truesdale has stated truth which
should be noted by every city council and
state legislature in the future framing Of
embarrassing laws

The wnr Revenue Reduction.

The country will be relieved Of an an
noying burden next Monday when certain
features OF the war revenue law are re-
pealed, and the necessity ceases of paying
a stamp tax on some articles of commerce
and in certain transactions of business
This stamp tax is always an unpopular
of emergency such as the Spanish cam
paign caused, 1t Is the readiest available.
The people cheerfully responded to the
call and while the war needs continued to
press the tax was paid practically without
a murmer. When the war closed and the
need was for funds to maintain the cam
pnign In the Philippines, there was some
demur in the quarters hostile to the policy
of retaining the islands. When in time
this demand likewise diminished in force
and reduction of the revenue became ad-
visable in the interest of public economy,
there were difficulties to be overcome in
the multitude of conflicting interests de-
manding first consideration. The amend
ment finally accomplished was, of course,
not satisfactory to all. The total reduc-
ton of $4,000 600 year, estimated as the
result of the changes which are to take
place next Monday will not cut the coun-
try's income to the danger point. but will
still leave a margin Of perhaps $50 600 COO
One OF the most satisfactory items of the
reduction is the remission of the stamp
on bank checks and certain other mediums
of business. The moneyed men. the mer-
chants. the holders Of small bank balances
have all met this requirement. although
1t seemed like tax on business spirit
