Potato Prospects.

Local potato dealers are of the opin-
ion that the New York and St. Paul
reports on the present and prospective
condition of the potato market we're of
a too roseate hue, and they can see no
condition of supply and demand that
will warrant any advance of any con-
sequence in the market. OF course
dealers buy potatoes to make money,
otherwise they would not handle them,
and they store potatoes for this pur-
pose. They are Indispensable factors
in the movement of the crop.
The government report Sept. 1st
placed the average for the potato crop
of the entire country at 1911 per cent,
as against 52.2 for corresponding time
last year. Here in Minnesota there is
a good crop throughout the State, as
against crop in only por ton of the
State last year. The Dakotas have
good crops this year, and Iowa has a
large crop, though not of very good
quality. Wisconsin, Illinois and also
northern, Michigan have good crops,
and indications point to enough and to
spare for some time to come.

He Was to Receive Four Thousand Dol

He Was to Receive Four Thousand DOL
lars From Mile Laos Indian Settle
ment.
The agreement made by Inspector
Mclaughlin with the Mile Laos Indi-
ans of Minnesota is regarded by inte-
rior department officialsas very re-
markable instrument.
Congress appropriated $4,000 to re-
imburse the Mile Laos for improve
ments made on their reservation, it
having been decided that the band was
to be removed to White Earth. In the
agreement made with the Indians
large part of this appropriation is set
aside for fees. Gus Beaulieu, of St.
Cloud, is to be paid $4,000 for legal
services, Danley r. Henderson $4,000,
Samuel Powell $500, and D. II. Robins
and Charles b. Ruffee each $3.50. The
sum of $500 is to be distributed pro
rata among the Indians.
The agreement provides that S11 900
shall be deposited in the First National
bank, of st. Paul, to be paid out as the
Indians may direct.
The officials object to this provision,
and also to the payments proposed for
legal advice and other services. Re-
ports received show that the improve
ments OF members of the tribe range
from $50 to $1,000. The officials be-
ieve individual members of the tribe
should be paid the value of their i'm
provements. From present indications
the agreement will be rejected. st.

InsOlence Incarnated.


The effort Of the president to get the
two warning factions to make recogni-
tion of the necessities, the rights of his
people, to cease wrangling that the i'm
pending suffering of millions of men,
women and children, might be pre-
vented, failed absolutely, ignobly
failed. The situation was pitiful.
Look at it free, if you can, from preju-
dice or sympathy. Two organizations,
holding in their hands the production
of an article vital not only to present
comfort and utility, but to a rapidly
approaching day when it will be vital
to life itself; these two quit producing
while one organization strives to make
the other recognize it. Meantime, all
-uverrthe land, is present distress; slen-
der purses drained by the increased
cost OF fuel; millions facing the coming
cold of winter with dread of fireless
hearths. To these the First Citizen, as
citizen, makes appeal-not executive
or command, because he is helpless;
the law places in his hand no weapon
to compel respect for the paramount
rights of his people-makes appeal to
their humanity, to their patriotism.
And the organization that owns the
coal and its transportation, arrogant
in its power of wealth; entrenched be-
hind futile law; naughty in it's pride
OF dominion; master of the people, as
sure Of sovereignty as were ever their
prototypes of the feudal days, inso-
lently rejects the presidents appeal
and demands that he bring the mill
tary and judicial arms of government
to sustain them in their ssrights. y

REGISTRATION DAY.
Primary Election Day Was the First
and Only Registration Day
~. Under the Law. ..-.;.
But Registration Boards Will Sit the
Same as of Yore and Complete
the Poll Lists. III

) There was quite a discussion this
week between some of the county and
village officials as to how many regis
tration days towns and villages were
entitled to under the general election
and the primary election law Some
commended that the primary election
was the first and only registration day
as the two laws are interpreted, while
others were of the opinion that in ad-
dition to the primary election which is
the first registration day, there was an
other registration day in the towns and
villages. The election law makes
special provisions for registration days
and classes the various cities of the
State for that purpose. 1t says: eek
cept in cities of over Il, 900 Inhabitants,
the board of registration in each cleo
ton district in the State at least twen-
ty days before any election, shall make
a list or register of all the persons who
are entitled to vote infthe respective
districts at such election" etc. After
the word ''twenty"in the law as COM
piled appears a reference mark, which
refers to section l of the primary cleo
ton law which says: 'Said primary
election day shall be and constitute the
first day of registration of electors for
the ensuing election in all election dis
tricts of counties which are subject to
the provisions of this act, and shall be
in lieu of the first day now provided"
County Auditor Whitney takes the
position that the law as amended by
the primary law, provides for but one
registration day which day was pri-
mary election day, and that at that time
the registration board should have
made up a list of all persons entitled
to vote at the general election. Very
few if any of the boards in the county did
this, though it makes no specia differ
ence,- as most of them will meet twenty
days before election as the general
election law provides and fix up the
register. The village board of Prince
ton will meet next Monday for this
purpose. Parties who did not vote at
the primary election and who will have
resided in the election district thirty
days prior to election day can get their
names added to the register at that
time. The fact that one is not regis
tered. however, does mot hai. rim from
voting on election day, as he. has SIM
ply to swear: in, his vote, and this
should be no stumbling blocks to any
American citizen in the way of voting.

State. Board of Equalization Raises the
Valuation of Real Estate Throughout
the State. = -
The real estate valuation of Mime
sofa as returned by the various county
boards, has been increased twenty per
cent by the State board of equalization.
The county boards had returned
total valuation of $3.50, 1877, 977, which
was an increase of 1865, 900 over the
figures fixed by the State board two
years ago. Some of the counties made
large increase this year, but others
made none at all, and the board took
the matter in hand, raising the valua-'
tions of every county in the State, and
adding total of SIG, 100000 to the
figures as presented to them. No raise
was made in Hennepin, Ramsey or St.

been listed at value considered high
enough. The following table shows

The Wood Market.

Inc WOOO Market.
Last week the wood market bid fair
to become a very lively one and there
were several buyers in Princeton look
ing for good hard wood and we're
willing to pay good hard prices for the
same. The ugly looking appearance
of the coal miners strike has offered
little encouragement to the fuel con-
sumers of the cities and many have
thought that wood would go to very
high figure before much could be
placed on the market, as there is not
avery heavy delivery of wood until
farmers can haul the same on sleds.
One party was here last week and Of
fered 1915 for maple on board cars
here and wanted several hundred
cords at this figure, but SINCE return
ing to the city. he has countermanded
his order left here for wood, as indi-
cations for the fuel supply in the cities
have a brighter hue at the present
time, though the fuel situation in St.
Paul and Minneapolis at the present
time is one that gives dealers and con-
sumers considerable concern. There
is shortage of cars on the roads that
handle the Wisconsin wood and for
this reason wood is very scarce in the
twin cities. Maple wood is selling in
St. Paul as high as $1,000 a cord, but
this is an emergency figure. For a

When furnishing French peasants, be-

protect Of a department for bread, he
bade them ''eat grass" When an
otherwa asked to recognize the mis-
cry and rights of the people, he in
sollently made answer: 1.-The people:

tuaa.lly reply to the presidents appeal
for mercy:to the people: "Let them

By what right do these men who own
the mines and railways assume to re-
fuse recognition to the organization of
the men who dig the coal from the
depths Of the earth? Who are they,
that they can unbldshingly say: "We
will treat with our 4en, but not with
their representatives?' A combiua-
tion closer than any that exists in the
world; owning the means of trans
portation, they own the entire coal
field, in fee or suzerainty, either by
deed of grant or by their power to
crush their serfs, the independent
operators. What sarcasm is in that
word ''independent" And John
Markle did not blush when.1he spoke
as one. Masters of the field of pro-
dulction, they reached out and made
themselves masters of the field, of con-
sumption. They put manacles on
every dealer in the land. They fixed
the prices of coal at every point, and
bade the dealers obey the mandate or
go out of business. And no dealer has
dared to defy them. :
I And this compact organization, this
union OF employers, have the unblush-

ence, to answer an eloquent appeal to
their humanity and their patriotism,
that there shall be distress and suffer-

Tins Of their lust for wealth and power,
before they will recognize or treat
with that other union into which the
men who mine the coal have formed
themselves for a .self-defense which
this very attitude of their employer
before the president and the country
shows is but ordinary prudence of self
preservation. Can it be possible that
the American people will submit to
this? Can it be possible that neither

make laws, there is redress?-St. Paul
