TIE GOVERNORS RUNNING MATE.

The Republican candidate for lieu
tenant governor, as the country press
seems to be thoroughly aware, is Ray
w. jones, president of the Common
wealth Lumber company, of Minneap-
ellis and Frazee.
Mr.. Jones just now finds glory thrust
upon him in two directions: First, as
the running mate of Gov. S. R. Van
SAINT, and second, as the object of the
attentions of the United States depart
ment of justice in the matter of the
dead-and- down lumber cut of 1900
1901.
In his capacity as president of
lumber company, Mr.. Jones has been
reaping some notoriety for something
like one year past. 1t is a matter of
public record that the department of
the interior at Washington charges
him or his company with getting more
deadand- down timber from the gov
eminent reservations than was ac-
counted for. The government logging
expert made an investigation and re-
ported a serious charge. The company
protested against the report, and an
arbitration board was appointed to in
vestigate the respective claims, with
the result that the report of the gov.
eminent expert was supported.
1t is also matter of record that the
case has been turned over by the de-
partment of the interior to the depart
ment of justice for prosecution.
The department of the interior
writes, in reply to a request for infor-
nation as to ''the status of the case
against the Commonwealth Lumber
company, Ray w. Jones, president, in
the matter of d-and-down timber
cut during the logging season of 1900
1901" as follows:
In reply you are advised that this
case is in the hands of the department
of justice, ana if you desire informa.
ton pertaining thereto, you should an.
ply to that department therefor"
The testimony and the reports in this
case, therefore, are presumably bot
tied UP in the United States district at
torney's Office until after election:
for it is scarcely probable that the Re-
publican oflceholder in that position
will accommodate the Democrats by
giving to the public the governments
claims and charges verified by the in
designations of both the government
expert and the arbitration commission.
There is an opportunity, however. if
the Republicans are so disposed, to
give the public access to the facts in
this case before election, if it is feared
that public superstition may do injus-

ground existed for the wholesale
charges of fraud so often made against
the pensioner."
Gen. Torrance declared that no pc
cunlary compensation ever could be
made to those who preserved the
Union, for that was debt of gratitude
which could not be paid with dollars
and cents.
He devoted considerable space to
consideration of the status Of the ex-
confederate soldier, repeating in spirit
ton Of good will and brotherly kindness
towards the late adversaries Of the
members Of the Grand Army. Continu-
ing on this point he said:
ut Is not expected that the Grand
Army of the Republic as an organiza-
ton will embark in the building of
homes for soldiers North or South, but
In no possible way can the greatest
fraternal organization in the world
more becomingly crown its labors Of
love in behalf Of it's own membership
than by extending the hand of helpful
ness to their fellow countrymen,
against whom they were once arrayed
in deadly strife"
Adjutant Generals Report.
The reports Of other officers were
presented. The report of Adjt Gen. Silas
H. fowler, of Minneapolis, shows that
on the Goth of June last the muster roll
of the Grand Army contained 263,745
names of members in good standing,
and that there were 6,511 posts. The
figures as to membership shows net
loss since the preceding year Of $500.
The adjutant general says that the
high water mark of membership was
attained in 1890, when it numbered
409,4S9, and that there has been a
gradual decline since that date. The
death loss for the year, as shown by
the report. is 1929. The percentage,
based on the number Of members in
good standing at the beginning of the
year, is 3.08, as against 3.02 for the
preceding year.
Call From the Ladies.
The encampment received visit
from a delegation of ladies from the
Woman's Relief Corp, consisting of
Miss Clara Barton, Mrs. John A. Lo-
gan, Mrs. Ell Torrance, Mrs. John c..
Black and Mrs. w. c.. Jones. They
were escorted to the platform and pre-
scented to the encampment.
They were received with cheers. Mrs.
Jones made a report of the operations
of the relief corps for the past year,
showing that 100000 had been ex-
pended for relief by the corps, while
during it's entire history more than ST.
BAT 900 had been thus spent. AS the
ladies filed down the aisle in taking
their departure the delegates rose to
their feet and sang "Auld Lang Syne."
The convention adjourned until to-
morrow.
