FORM INDEPENDENT LINE.
Important Move by the Striking Tug.
men at Duluth

Duluth, July 2.-The striking tug
men of Duluth, after being idle sew.
era1 weeks, have completed arrange
ments for the organization of an indie
pendent tug line. Captain B. F. How
ard, formerly owner of the Bon Voy-
age, and an experienced man, was
chosen as manager of the company
and Offices will be opened at once. The
scheme is to be one of cooperation,
all the members to share in the ex-
penses and profits. The men say that
the Lake .Tugmen's Protective union
is backing the enterprise, but it is be-
lieved that men of means are inter-
ested. One tug has already been char
tered and four more will be in COM
mission within week.
The move on the part of the strikers
will have an important bearing upon
the action that has recently been
brought by the manager of the Union
Towing and Wrecking company, in
which the strikers are charged with
"hindering navigation on the Great
Lakes" Marine authorities say that
it would be likely to prove a decided
obstacle, as it will be impossible to
prove that they are interfering with
navigation when all of the men are
at work in the towing business.

= THE mayor of Salem, Mass, is after
the local ice trust rough shod. The
trust has been cutting on lake con-
trolled by the water board, and has
been exacting robber prices from the
people of the city of Salem, so claims
the mayor, who says that the trust
will not be permitted to cut any more
ice from the Lake unless it will pro-
mise to make reasonable prices to ice
consumers. The mayor is evidently
made of the right stuff, for he says:
Il mean exactly what I say, and
shall, unless the ice trust treats us
fairly and honestly, put it out of bust
ness nextyear by preventing it from
obtaining any ice at Wenham lake,
and will grant the privilege of cutting
ice at Wenham lake only toAthose in
dependent dealers who will charge fair
prices for ice to the consumer

WHAT is the Minnesota farmer do
ing with his two and three-year-old
cattle? It looks according to the CEN
sus report as if he was selling them to
the stock shipper and feeder and let
ting the other fellow make the profit.
According to the census report that
has been made public and which ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue, it will be
seen that on June 1st, 1900, the Mime
sofa farmer had in his possession over
half a million calves, and of steers un-
der two years of age ISL, 645, and over
two and under three $685., while of
heifers he had 2l1, 1852. The calf crop
indicates that the Minnesota farmer
has a mighty good foundation on
which to work, but that he doesn't
work: The report shows nearly 60o,+
600 horses two years old and over, and
valued at nearly S4O,OO0,O0O. The
Minnesota farmer should have as many
heifers and yearling and two-year-old
steers as heehas horses, but he hasn't,
just the same. & /

> The first session Of the fifty-seventh
congress came to a close this week and
congress has adjourned until next
December. One of the last bills
passed by congress was the Philippine
civil government bill. The bill creates
legislature of two houses, one to be
known as the Philippine commission
and the other the assembly, the mem
bers of the latter branch to be elected
by the natives under certain qualifica-
lions. The legislature will elect two
commissioners who will represent the
Philippines in Washington. The bill
is very liberal one in its provisions
and If the, Filipinos will now join
hands with Uncle saAthey will have
all the comforts of home It is the in
,tention of the president to issue a.
proclamation on the Fourt6of July de-
claring that peace prevails in the
Philippines and to change the govern
ment OF the Philippines from a mill
tary to a civil sttaus. All who have
been arrested for political ofenses will
be given their freedom.

LATE reports from points in Iowa

LATE reports from points in Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska say
that continued heavy rains are doing
much damage to corn, potatoes and
grain. In the Platte and Missouri
valleys in Nebraska the potatoes are
rotting in the ground, and the same
report comes from portions of Michi-
grn. It is said that in northern New
York continued heavy rains have
worked much injury to crops. limo
thy and clover is rotting in the fields
and oats and barley are running chief
ly to straw, while corn is rotting in
many places. The chief of the weather
bureau for Iowa says that the gloomy
crop reports are visionary in that
State, and thinks that with some good
warm and dry weather for July that
corn will come out all right.

ROOSEVELT PRAISES WOOD.

Those who have read President
Roosevelt's address at the annual ban
quet of the Harvard alumni at Cam
bridge, Mass, last week cannot but ad-
mire the manner in which he loyalty
defended the character of Leonard
Wood, who administered the affairs OF
Cuba until the island was turned over
to the Cubans and made republic. A
few politicians who call themselves
statesmen have endeavored to besmirch
the character and official conduct of
Wood while governor general of Cuba,
and the way that President Roosevelt
bravely stands by the man whom he
has every reason to believe is true and
faithful is enough to give the political
shysters 2 cramp. The president says:
..sSixty millions of dollars passed
through his hands, and he came out
having had to draw on his slender cap
ital in order that he might come out
even when he loft the island. Credit
to him? Yes, in a way. In another,
no particular credit, because he was
built so that he could do nothing else
He came out having done that and
having devoted himself as disinterest-
eddy to the good of the Cuban people
in all their relations as man: could. He
has come back here and has been at
tackled forsooth by people who are not
merely unworthy of having their
names coupled with him, but who are
ipeapabh.of understanding the motives
that have spurred him on to bring
honor to this republic " "
He also paid a great compliment to
Judge Taft who is doing such valuable
service for the United States in the
Philippines, and also referred to the
work of Elihu Root as secretary of
war. twas a fit occasion and an, ex-
cellent opportunity for the president
to give to the public through his ad-
dress some practical examples Of true,
courageous American citizenship, and
Wood, Taft and Root are not bad mod
els for the young men of America to
pattern after. None of them are trim
mers nor tricksters, and the average
young man has got to hustle to keep
up with them. ~ iii ....-..~.s. .

PRESS reports say that it is the in
tention of President Roosevelt to take
up the matter of the hard coal trust
and the strike among the miners in
the anthracite coal region. Labor
Commissioner Carroll D. Wright has
made a secret report to the president
which evidently contains some, very
convincing Information. If there is
any chance under the law for the gov
eminent to proceed against the hard
coal syndicate it certai nly will. Under

welt it is surely government of the

IT seems to be a case of too much rain
and many sections of the country are
calling for sunshine. July 1st the
city of Detroit got it's first day of sun
shine since June 21st. There are
other sections in the same fix. Here
in this favored section we have little
to complain of, though a little dry
weather would be welcome at present.
But agricultural conditions are good,
generally speaking.

s REP UBLIC4N STATE TICKET. j

The Republican State conventior
met in St. Paul on Tuesday and pinned
to its banner a list Of candidates whom
the party has chosen to fill the various
State offices for the terms beginning
next January. The convention nomi.
mated a ticket consisting mostly OF
present officials who have SO worthily
served the State during their incum.
bency in Office. With the exception OF
Ray W. Jones of Minneapolis who was
nominated for lieutenant governor,
G. A. Pidgeon of Wright county
who was nominated. for clerk of the
supreme court and S. G. Iverson dep
uty State Auditor, every man on the
ticket is a re-nominee. Mr.. Iverson
will merely step from the desk of dep.
uty auditor to that of auditor next Jan
uary. The representative vote given
Mr.. Iverson by the convention and the
fact that he easily distanced his op-
ponents on the first ballot, was most
hearty Endorsement. Every section of
the State contributed to his. nomi-
nation. His opponents, Messrs. Hal
din and Jacobson, were foemen worthy
of their steel and easily demonstrated
their popularity and the confidence the
public has in them. It required $50
votes to nominate and on the first BAL
lot Mr.. Iverson had 513, Jacobson 343
and Haldin 224. There was only one
thing for the convention to do in the
face of such a splendid showing that
Iverson made, and that was to nomi-
nate him, and the convention did so as
soon as the first ballot was announced.
The strong showing made by c. A.
Pidgeon for clerk of the supreme
court and the nomination that follow
ed Immediately afterward was great
victory for the Wright county man.
On the first ballot Reese had 379, Pid-
geon 1852, Everett 295 and Gish 1876. It
looked like warm balloting for time,
but the Pidgeon was flying high and
the guns of the opponents failed to
shoot far enough to bring down the
game. The defeat of Oar Reese, one
of the old war horses of the Repu blican
party of Minnesota, and a most loyal
and faithful worker in the party for
many years, was the will of the con-
vention and there was nothing but the
ring of loyalty in the speech of Mr..
Reese before the convention after his
defeat. Senator Nelson as temporary
chairman, delivered an address that
will make a ringing campaign docu-
ment. An account of the convention
will be- found on the back page of this
issue. ~: 1865 49,

Freight Handlers Fail to Strike.
Chicago, July Transportation in
the Middle West may be seriously at.
fected as the result of series of
strikes Threatened by machinists and
bollermakers employed by~every rail
roal entering Chicago from the West.
The first OF this series of strikes was
called during the day., when the 40
Dollermakers employed by the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad were called
out. Before the week is over the ma
chinists employed by the road may
follow them. A strike of the 100 ma
chlnlsts employed by the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad at Garrett: Ind, is
in progress, as we'll as the strike of
the bollermakers and machinists of the
Union Pacific.
The walkouts are the result of re.
fusal on the part of the general man.
ayers OF the various railroads to CON-
ply with demands of the Raachinists
and boilermakers. These same de-
mands have been presented to every
railroad entering Chicago and to sew
eral OF the Eastern roads. In case the
railroads follow the example set BY
those already approached the strike
OF the two trades will apparently as
sumo national proportions.
The demands of. the boilermakers
relate principally to increases in
wages. The men are now receiving
81 cents an hour. They ask IS cents
an hour. The machinists have pre-
sented demand for an increase of 10
per cent in wages and the reduction
OF the working day from ten to nine
hours. There are 600 machinists en-
ployed by the Chicago and Northwest
ern. The Baltimore and Ohio ma
chinists are striking to prevent the
adoption of the piece work system in
departments where it is not in force
and to secure an advance in wages
from $2.75 TO SO day.
Embarrassed as they are by the de-
mands of the machinists and boiler
makers, the general managers of the
Chicago railroads have been given a
breathing spell by the failure of the
freight handlers to strike. President
L.. j. Curran of the Freight Handlers
union had announced a strike, but at
the last moment has changed his mind
and decided to try further for peace
able settlement. The matter has been
in the hands of the Chicago fedora
ton: The federation will prepare an
agreement to be presented to the gen
eral managers.
