NEW TACTICS
Hartman and Hill Credited With
Doing Merger Missionary Work.

Doing Merger Missionary Work.
Eastern papers express sthe opinion that
E. H. Hartman and James ]. Hill are
taking the lead in a campaign Of educa-
tion on the transportation problem. Har-
riman, who is usuallyaa very reticent man,
has been talking freely to the newspapers
and business men on his present trip west
He says that he believes the public is
ready to consider the transportation ques-
ton without prejudice and that any public
man or newspaper which advocates legal
izing the combination of railroads will
soon find that stand a popular one Mr..
Hartman contends that in order further
to decrease the cost of transporta alton and
serve in the best manner the territory
they traverse the railroads must be given
chance to combine and be protected
in it by the law. .ss -
The utterances of Mr.. Hill and Mr. Har-
riman have been closely. followed by the
press and business men of the east and
the conclusion reached that both men be-
lieve that the time. has come to lay the
case before the public in the hope that
the best thought of the, country will de-
eide in favor of revising legislation now
on the statute books and prevent the en-
acting of laws that will prove obstructive
to big transportation schemes. Both men
are said to be convinced of the right
eousness of their position and firm in the
opinion that campaign of education
on transportation will bring a verdict
as favorable to their plans as did the
campaign of, education on money for the
gold standard in 1896. 1t is announced
that Mr.. Hill will address Chicago BUSH
ness men on Transportation" Tuesday =
Within the past few, days Judge Martin
A. Knapp, chairman off the interstate
commerce commission, has Endorsed the
views of Hartman that railroads should
be allowed to combine. He believes, how
ever, that this should be modified by re-
strictions and reasonable government SUI
peryision. Judge Knapp has also per-
sonally declared in favor of allowing rail-
roads to pool. He says that the advan-
tage to the public of railroad competition
is much overestimated. 1t results in the
bigger shipper getting the best bargain
and the small shipper being forced to work
at disadvantage. Pooling by uniform
rates would place the shipping interests,
big and little, in one: class and an I'M
reasonable rate would be more readily
corrected than now, when the big shipper
usually lines up with the railroad The
same result, he thinks, would accrue from
combination. r7t.

FISH FOR ALL
Weather and Lakes Denizens in IN
Ob1iginG HumOr.

Ob1iginG HumOr.
Yesterday was fisherman's day at the
lake. Weather conditions were idea and
in consequence everyone who dropped
line into the water was rewarded by at
least a fair catch. The strings of fish
that loaded down all the trains wer ample
evidence that it is a very mistaken idea
that Minnetonka is fished out.
The fishing began at the first peep of
day and those who couldn't get boats
sought out the bridge into Black lake
and all the vantage points along shore.
AS night fell, the boats drew in slowly,
each with it's load of fish. The largest
string brought in at Spring Park had over
eighty bass and was the catch Of H. w.
Munich and Jesse W. DeHaven. Very
few people had any use for anything but
bass, and the pickerel and croppies were
returned to the water.
Among the big catches were those of
William Crombie and son. who got forty
seven bass; Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Ten
coorde of ST. Paul, fifteen big bass; two
men from Boston, who got forty-seven
bass in the North Arm; H. B. Middlemist
and friend, nineteen big bass, and A.
r.. fall Of ystsPaul, who got a. nice string
CT more than dozen. Mr.. Hall had a
trying experience. He came out on Sat

SarIes Boom Discounted.

Bismarck. N. D., June 2-The Bismarck
Tribune, owned by Secretary Jewell of this
republican state committee, does not think
there is a Sarles boom in sight, and makes
the declaration that Sarles will not announce
his candidacy for the governorship because
he is not a candidate for the place. The
interests are such that he could not afford
to sacrifice them for the governorship, and
that if he had wanted a state Office he might
have had one long ago-There is vacancy
in the position Of deputy state auditor,
Thomas J. Harris of Ransom county, who
has held the place having resigned to accept
a position with Ed PIERCE the Sheldon land
