Ash Lake Not SO Sure.

The Duluth, Virginia & Rainy Lake
road will not locate a town at Ash
Lake, according to Il report brought
from that country recently.
The story is TO the effect that after
surveying the route of the road
through to Ash Lake, the people in
terested in the enterprise sent man
from there with the descriptions of
the land to be located for a townsite
with instructions to him to file entry
of those lands at the Duluth land
office.
In some manner lie was delayed two
or three days in reaching Duluth, and
when he arrived it was found that
the lands had been entered by other.
men WHO had been connected with
the surveying party.
Chagrined over the affair, the rail-
way people decided to abandon the
town at Ash Lake, and even have
considered plan to change the route
of the road SO as to leave the proposed
TOWNSHIP off the line of road entirely.
The new route taken under consider
alton is to the west of Pelican lake, I
instead of east of that lake.
The route west of Pelican lake
would be as direct a line to Koochich-
ing as the route east of the lake. 1t
would also take the road almost di-
rectly through the Little Fork
country, which is said to promise de-
velopment into a greater agricultural
region in the near future. At the
same time it would tap a fine pine
country and would probably be as
easy route to build as the old route,

 q don't know anything about MT. Murphy. I don't know whether he is in the city or not. All I know is that I am not going to attend any conference at Tammany Hall tomorrow
 The breaking up of the Triumvirate the Tribune says has not been entirely unexpected It has been an advisory committee that has failed to get to- gether in the interest of Tammany Hall, according to politicians.

HANNA TO HIS EXPLOITS.
Addresses Them on Thetr Presenting to
 Him Cane.

Cleveland, Aug 4-The seven hum
 dred or eight hundred employees of the
 Cleveland City Railway company, of
 which Senator M. A. Hanna Is presi- dent, met tonight and presented Sen-
 ator Hanna with a valuable cane In
 acknowledging the gift Senator Hanna
 expressed his sincere thanks and incl dentally spoke on the relations he hoped to seen soon to exist between capital and labor. In part he said:
 II cannot adequately express my feel ings on this occasion. It has been the one ambition of my life to merit the re-
 spect, if not the affection, of the men in
 my employ. I have been with laboring
 men all my life and have been their employer for many years, and this night
 means something to me, for it brings
 with it the satisfaction of knowing that
 so large a number of men in my employ
 have been satisfied with my career as
 an employer.
 Your chairman has referred to the
 civic federation. I say to you, that
 were it not for my official position and
 my duties as 8 public servant I would
 devote more of my time to the policies
 on which that organization is founded" ;" Concerning the anthracite strike, Sen
 ator Hanna said: When the great an-
 thracite strike was threatening, our fed eration worked hard for weeks to avert tito bring men and employers togeth- CT, but failed. After it was on we work ed hard to settle it, but failed How ever in that matter it is my personal satisfaction to know that the statement that I made at that time that the men would not go back on their work has been kept and that a sympathetic strike has been averted. I told the Fedora tion that there would be no sympa thetic strike among the bitumfnous miners, I believe in manhood. Labor organiza- tions' are not things which can be used for breach of contract. They have no corporate existence. But I would rather have the promise of a laboring man backed only by his sense of honor and his manhood than any agreement which might be enforced by law. Manhood and integrity are the same whether they
 belong to a conductor, motorman or a street laborer."
