MORE BAD BLOOD
Legislative Contests Started by Repub-
leans In RurIelqh, County.

- pSduS III o0TJSISV SouTIy.
BISMARCK, N. D.--A contest has been
instituted by Messrs. Allen and Tare in
the Burleigh county legislative district
against Messrs. McGahan and Bostrom,
who were the independent democratic leg
islatiYe nominees and elected on the face
of the returns. The contestants are re-
publicans, and they filed their papers with
i'll the ten-day limit after the meeting of
the county canvassing board, thus pre-
serving their rights in Use other contests
are started for county offices by the in
dependent democratic nominees, which is
said to be among the probabilities.
Another contest has been tiled in the
thirty-first legislative district by E. S.
Foley Of Billings county against George
Senour, republican. The claim is made
that several votes in Gladstone precinct,
for the independent ticket were counted
for the republicans.
Official returns have been received by
the secretary of state from all but four
counties. The returns from the several
legislative districts show the election OF
Bourassa instead Of Hunt in the Rolette
county legislative district. Bourassa is a
democrat and Hunt, republican, was re-
ported elected. There is also a tie vote
between Gagnon and Boeing In Walsh
county. s.5ea..ssss-

LOGGING HAS PRECEDENCE
All the Companies Begin Operations
TRANSFORMATION Troubles.

Transportation Troubles.
DULUTH, NTINN.-Al activities of lum-
bermen are directed to logging operations.
Buyers of lumber are not coming here
now. Some quantities Of next years
cut are being absorbed. but outside of two
or three firms the total amount is not
large. Prices Of sawed lumber remain
as they have been of late. All the head
of the lake mills closed for the sea-
son. The mill of the w. T. Bailey Lum-
Der company at Virginia has started for
the winter and small portable mill there
set up to cut timbers for the Cook &
O Rrien mill, is in place. Several small
winter mills in this vicinity are starting
for the seasons cut.
| I.oggers are up against the same old
trouble of transportation and one firm
has had a man arrested for attempting to
jump his job after it had advanced his
fare from Minneapolis to the woods.
Wages are too high for men to be con-
tented and to work steadily.
| The Tower Lumber company has been
receiving train Of logs daily at its mill
from Deerhead lake and this not proving
sufficient for the operation OF the mill
steadily 1T has cut off the night shift. 1t
will soon be getting thirty cars day
which will be dumped into hot pond The
mill will lrun all winter without stor for re-
pairs or change of any important charac-
ter,
Swallow & Hopkins closed their mill last
week after a cut of about S5,000.000 feet,
which they started out to make. They
have sold all the cut and a large part of
it has been shipped. They have gone into
the woods for a 3O,000.000 feet cut for the
coming year. L. J. Hopkins has gone to
Datonia, Fla, for winter visit and G. c.
Swallow is in Milwaukee. The firm has
a logging road connecting two lakes and
over this all their timber Is hauled to the
mill. The road has capacity for about
100000 feet daily.
The Iron river mill of the Alexander &
Edgar company has started saving again
after a shutdown for two or three weeks
making repairs. large double cutting
band mill has been put in and the capacity
of the plant has been increased to about
10000, 900 feet a year. The company VIII
run all winter. day and night, and vii
turn out a great deal of lumber. It has
no large stock on hand. and is shipping
steadily, Mr.. Edgar says.
Nelson & O'Neill have started in on the
line of the Duluth. Virginia & Northern
road and are making Tower their base OF
supplies for hauling to their camps. They
are now using the old England and Shea
camps near the west end Of Lake Yer
million but after they have cut some
1000. 900 feet there they will move to new
camps to the southwest. Many men ant
teams have been taken in already
Several large pulpwood contractors are
going into the woods for the winter anC
the cut, which awhile ago seemed likely tt
be curtailed, will probably be as large as
ever.

SUCCESSOR TO AMES
Promotion Sought for Assistant Surgeon
General Whitconb of st. Paul.

LAKE CITY, M1NN.-The friends of
Major Edward Fl. Whitcomb, of St. Paul.
assistant surgeon general are urging his
namef or surgeon general to succeed Sur
geon General A. A. Ames. Major Whit
comb is a prominent physician and an
enthusiastic national guardsnan. He has
been identified with the guard for about
nine years, having first served as a private
in Company c. first infantry.
One subject which will receive attention
at the Officers association meeting to be
held in ST. Paul on Dec. 81. will be the
advisa bility of again establishing a paper
in Minnesota I'M theninterestzofa the guard
Since the sale and removable taoino taoin
Since the sale and removal of the associa-
tions organ to Chicago last spring, it has
failed to cover topics of interest to readers
in Minnesota, and if new paper is es-
tablished it will be a strictly Minnesota
paper. and each company will be expected
to contribute to it's support. 1t will be
published. under the name of the National
Guard association. The offices Of the
new paper will probably be in st. Paul.
Recruiting in the national guard is a
very difficult proposition, and it is felt
that something will need to be done at the
coming session of the legislature to in
crease the appropriation so that greater
Inducements may be held out to young
men, The use to which the militia was
put in Pennsylvania has discouraged many
OF the present members and caused many
prospective candidates to ponder over the
proposition. When the present military
law was adopted it was little thought that
the troops would be used to intimidate
labor. Several states have taken up the
question and legslated against the use OF
the national guard in labor troubles

Legislative Reference Room for Help OF
Members Established at Madison.
/. MADISON, WIS.-Members of the com,
ing legislature will enjoy one advantage
which none Of their predecessors. nor In
deed, the members Of any other legisla-
ture in the country have had. This is a
bureau Of information where data on
many subjects particularly matters ex-
pected to come before the legislature.
can be found. This bureau has been In
operation for some time, and already
many legislators have secured Through 1t
information which they find valuable In
the preparation of bills.
The Wisconsin free library commission
was authorized by the last legislature to
establish a legislative: reference room for
the use OF the members. The commission
engaged Charles Mccarthy, Phi. D., a
trained student of political science and
economics, to take charge Of the work.
Mr. Mccarthy has succeeded in gathering
a lot Of material relating to the important
subjects to come up at the next session.
Right after the election he sent printed

First-Legislation upon any particular subject
in any state during the last ten years.
Second-Bllls introduced but not passed in DIFF
ferent states. e.f,-
Third-A list of the best articles, reports, ar.
guments, etc., relating to the matter.
Fourth-such abstracts of arguments, etc.,
as may be of use. =, "
The work is entirely non:partizan and
confidential. The experiment Is the first
of its kind in America, and is. being
watched by scholars everywhere. In this
manner a man can prepare his legislation
