WONDERFUL SHOWING
IN PINE COUNTY
State Land GobbIed Up at Big Figures
and the Demand Still
Unsatisfied.

State Auditor Dunn and Chief Clerk
Flynn, of the state land department,
returned this morning from Pine City,
where they conducted the most sue
eessful of the state land sales held this
fall.
In all, $4,000, acres were sold, and
the price averaged IS per acre. Much
more could have been sold but for the
fact that the limit of 100000 acres per
year imposed by law had nearly been
reached, and it was necessary to leave
margin for some small sales - Bsn-

A LITTLE ACCIDENT.
Saved a Lot of Money.


Food that will safely and surely
carry man through exhausting men
tai work is worth knowing of.
A man in ST Louis, Mo-, says: I'm
my work it is necessary to begin at 7
o'clock and work straight through
without lunch until 2 p. m. You can
readily see that this is a strain on the
ordinary person, and / was frequently
worn out and sick with hunger and
weakness. On numerous occasions
when o'clock came round l was SO
utterly exhausted and unstrung as to
be forced to lose the remainder of the
day, and that carried with it a loss
of money.
The first package of Grape Nuts
came into our house a little over a
year ago by accident. There has been
one by design ever since that time. AL
most Immediately after beginning to
use Grape-Nuts I felt it's good effect in
my ability to work those long hours in
comfort. There was no sickness or
weakness, and no loss of time from
exhaustion. In my business it is also
necessary to work every Wednesday
night of each week. The change from
day to night work and then back again
is certainly no light call on the reserve
force of anyone, and my invariable
preparation for this task is a generous
! saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream. q
light lunch but a most sustaining one.
An old friend was visiting me re-
Gently, and while eating the evening
meal | was extolling Grape Nuts to
him. He rather doubted the delicious
ness of the food. My three children
aged four, six and eight years, were at
the time watching a large cream cake
on the table, and enjoying in anticipa-
tionsthe treat. I asked the three which
they would prefer for dessert-cream
cake or Grape Nuts. Without hesita-
tion they answered in chorus, Grape
Nuts. My friend was convinced.
The only breakfast the children have
is Grape-Nuts and rich milk, and Won
could not find a more healthy trio. .

TO FIGHT EXTENSION
OPPOSITION TO LENGTHENING
THIRD STREET BRIDGE
Owners of Property in Vicinity Say
That if Improvements Is Made They
VIII be left Without an Exit and
Their Property Ruined Project Like
iy to be Defeated.

The possibility of an extension to
the Third street bridge, to meet the
cost of which the sum of $65,000 now
|reposes in the .city's strong box, is be-
coming decidedly remote. Opposition
has developed and the improvement is
threatened with disaster.
According to the scheme originally
proposed by those of the Second ward,
who have been fostering the improve
ment, the bridge was to be heightened,
or rather extended, to Hoffman, ave-
nue., a distance of over two blocks. Here
the intervening block, which ends at
Maria avenue, was to be reduced in
grade, thus doing away with the pres
ent steep ascent.
In the neighborhood OF the proposed
extension the property owners now
come forward and say if the improve
ment is made that they will be left
without an exit and their property
ruined. They live down on what is
known as the flats anil the street, in
consequence of it's elevation, would be
denied them. There are perhaps fifty
of these small property owners all Hv-
ing in the vicinity Of Commercial street
and they have employed an attorney to
fight the project or see that they are
compensated.
Likely to Kill Project.
A year ago the Second ward called
upon the conference committee in a
body and secured an appropriation of
$65, 1000 for the extension. The money
was obtained through the medium Of
The Saint Paul globe., 1902-10-26

taxation, but no effort was made to
contract against it until few days
ago, when AID Buschnann asked that
plans be prepared and bids called for.
When it reached the assembly, how
ever, the order was held up and in that
condition it still remains. Some of the
members Of the council are opposed
to the Improvement and this with the
opposition developing, it is feared, will
kill the project entirely.
If the money is not Invested this
year it will revert to the general fund
and the sentiment is general that 1t
it does it will notlbe reappropriated.

Was Discharged and Sued the
Company for Damages.

of the Supreme Courts decision in the case

Shaffer. on appeal from the Circuit Court
of Huron county. involving the blacklist
which was given out to-day, sustains the
railroad company. Shaffer was discharged
by the railroad company for participating
in a strike. He claimed that ne could not
secure employment on any other road be-
certificate of service, and he sued for dam
ages. The judgment of the Circuit Court
in favor of Shaffer was reversed by the
Supreme Court, the ruling of which fol-
lows:
"a master is under no legal obligations to
give to his discharged servant statement
of his service, whether or not it was salts
factory, and a discharged railroad en-
plOye cannot maintain an action for dam
ages against the company which discharged
him for refusal to furnish him with a
clearance or statement of the record of his
service. although he may have been I'M
able TO obtain other employment in conse-
Quence of such refusal by the company.
ut is the right of every person. natural
or artificial, to employ or refuse TO employ
in his business whomsoever he may wish.
and he cannot be called on to answer for
his judgment in that regard by the public
or individuals nor can the motives which
prompt his action be considered. A railroad
company may lawfully refuse TO continue
in it's employ a person VINO has engaged
in a strike affecting it's interests or who
has shown himself to be negligent. imcom-
petent inefficient or dishonest"
