4 DEBATE ON RATES
Distributing Tariffs Discussed Be
fore the Railway Commission.
FIGURES TO BE GONE OVER
DiscreDancies Between COmmi SIS on
er's Figures and Those of II. II.
Traffic officials.

At the public hearing before the railroad
commission yesterday on the restoration
Of distributing rates to certain northern
Minnesota towns, Commissioner Staples
challenged statement of the representa-
tives Of the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern. They declared that the
new distance tariffs gave all smaller
communities in northern Minnesota rates
not more than 5 per cent higher than the
twin city and Duluth terminal tariffs FOL
equal distances. Mr.. Staples complaint
covered only the shorter hauls OF from
40, so, Is or 100 miles. Mr.. Bum, repre-
sentng the Northern Pacific, said:
II this is So we want to know it as well
as you do. Our figures were compiled by our
experts, and l am convinced that our deduc-
tions absolutely correct. l would suggest
that we Immediately investigate the question
and l would like to have our experts and sta
tisticians met yours.
A committee of Crookston business men,
headed by Halyor Steenerson, P M. Ring
dal and Attorney Russell, were present,
The committee demanded the restoration
Of the distributing rates.
General Counsel Bum said the general
merchandise rates Of the state had not
been checked over for years and were full
Of inequalities and Inconsistencies. There
was no fixed relation between the various
classes of freight, There were two COM
plants from the people: W against LIE
existing inequalities and the lack OF fixed
proportion between the class rates: (2)
that the distance tariffs were too high in
comparison to the terminal tariffs enjoyed
by st. Paul. Minneapolis and Duluth.
Temporary distance or distributing
tariffs, he said, the railroads had sup
planted by new schedule Of rates, re-
duced from 10 to 20 per cent under the
old rates. Why Brainerd or any other
city Of that class should have lower rates
than towns half their size, he could not
see. The tariff officials said Chicago
competition was responsible for the dis
tributing points south Of the twin cities.
No such force existed in the northern
part.
Mr.. Bum said further, that the business
carried under terminal tariffs was many
times that carried under distance tariffs.
1t was finally decided that the alleged
discrepancies between the figures Of the
commission and the railroads should be
investigated in joint session.
Mr.. Ringdal said the grccers appeared
satisfied with the arrangements but ship
pers of hardware, etc., who had planned
to increase their business, would not do
so if the distributing rates were with
drawn. There were a hundred articles in
the western classification on which the
smaller jobbers could not compete with
Minneapolis and st. Paul because OF rates.

BIG HENNEPIN SALE
L. M. Stewart Buys a Big Corner at
Twelfth Street.
SECURITY BANK SELLS AT $31 200
The Property Is UnimprOved, but
Is Considered a Good
Bargain.

Levi M. Stewart has purchased, through
Lauderdale & Company, the northwest
corner of Twelfth and Hennepin, part OF
the old Williams estate, from the Secur-
ity bank for $31 900. The two lots meas
ure together 1872 by 1872. This leaves 1893
feet On Twelfth by 1872 feet on Hawthorn
unsold. The Improvement is of little
value, an old wooden residence.
This corner has been for sale for long
| time. Three real estate agents have had
up signs for several years. The price is
considered low. Six car lines pass one
side or the OF her Of the property
Mr.. Stewart has also purchased the prop
erty at ITO Hennepin in the next block
| town, for $6,S00. It is next east of
the George H. Rust residence and consists
of lot 66x165, and a two-story old wood
en- dwelling. This property has been ad-
vertised for sale for some time by J. L..
Neal. It is considered bargain at the
price, as it cost its last purchaser several
! years ago, between $4,000 and ST., 1000.
The deed was filed some time ago.
| Much significance attaches to these two
purchases. It has been stated several
times that five or six persons have been
! quietly buying UP property about the city
at low prices. In the present instance
the: lots have been bought by a shrewd
| investor who is known to be we'll stocked
up already, and who carried large
amounts of realty through the hard times.
Mr.. Stewart already owns much property
| on Hennepin, as we'll as valuable holdings
all about the city. He never sells, except
In cases of necessity, as when he released
half block to the Cedar Rapids & North
ern.
A Sale ON Sixth Street.
j. B. Gilfllan has transferred the prop
erty which he recently purchased in the
rear of the Masonic Temple to John w
See for $4,000. The only improvements
are some cheap wooden buildings, includ-
ing an old residence. The sale includes
lot except NV ten feet and W p o1
lot 3, block 1, Hoag's addition.
Papers were filed yesterday transferring
the property of the Adamant Manufac.
turing company to the United States Gyp.
sum company. One dollar, subject to 6
$4,000 mortgage, is the consideration
j.named.

Winona, Mimi, March Sit has leaked
out that a survey for proposed electric
railway between Winona and Wabasha
has been made under the direction of
County Surveyor Burns of this city. The
survey is said to be as complete as is
usually made in preliminary work. II

way Of Zumbrota. This latest survey is
along quite a different line. Develop
ments are awaited with much interest

Employers Say They Had No Chance
to Negotiate.


L. H. McKjnstrey, of the Minneapolis
Engraving company, says the members of
Photo Engravers' union, No. 6. who

were given until Monday noon to consider

from the employers to discuss the matter,
in the hope that some amicable settle

'sWhile the employers were endeavoring
to decide upon an agreement they were
notified by telephone that th men could
grant no extension of time and accord

'tWe feel that we have been treated un-
fairly by the twenty-odd men who have
quit work in the two cities, and while
some firms may be compelled to accede to
their demands. others will stand out to
the end

A COUNTRY GIRLS COMPLIMENT.
Nav York Times

The Rev. Alexander Doyle of the Paul
list Fathers is a clever speaker and a
warm advocate Of total abstinence and
tight-closed saloons for Sunday When
he talks on these topics the ears Of OPP
ponents tingle.
Lately among his admiring auditors was
a country girl who had come to New
York, and found herself stirred by ad-
miration Of everything in it. The preach
ing of Father Doyle impressed her deep
ly, and she wrote home to her mother
this choice bit of criticism:
"I never get tired Of going to hear the
sermons in the Paulist church, mother.
Father Doyle is such lovely preacher,
that you would think every word he said
was true!"

Arizona republican., 1902-09-15
LesisIative Material.

The Republican has frequently called attention to the importance of select ing proper material for the Twenty second legislature, which, whatever 1t may be, should be as different from the Twenty-first as possible. If it be only different that will be something in it's favor. The legislative tickets sl. far do not promise much in the way of an improvement. The Yavapai ticket for the lower house is espec- ially not a sweet smelling aggrega- ton of law making material The re- publicans of that county seem to be intending to take advantage of the mistakes of the democrats and put ticket of more than average strength in the field. Tn recent issue of the Journal Miner mention is made of two prospective candidates on the republ- can ticket, F. A. Tritle, jr. and H. E. Armitage.
 If such men should be nomna ted in all the republican conventions of the territory, it would be easy now to fore cast the complexion of the next legis- lature. MT. Tritle is quite well known in this county. The Journal Miner says that he is a perpetuation of the cid Tritle stock. That is a good deal in his favor, but there are other req sons why MT. Tritle would make good legislator. He is member of the younger element Of republicans of the county and he has been active in the counscls of the party throughout the territory. He is a good business man and is known wherever he is known as cool and level heded man. MT. Tritle had charge for four years Of the duties of register of the Prescott land office He has occupied other positions of trust and he has always discharged his obli- gations to the public in manner sat isfactory to his constituents.
 Mir Armitage is not quite so well known in Phoenix as MT. Tritle, He
