The government gave woman ana
her two children full title to large
portion of town in Minnesota. The
secretary of the interior decided the
contest, involving a portion of Sec

the town of Cass Lake, MINI.
Nellie Lydeck and her two children,
as Chippewa Indians, applies for al
lotments on this section before the
establishment of the town of Cass
Lake. At that time suit was pend
ing in the United States supreme
court to determine whether the Sec
ton had passed to the state under
the school law act or belonged to the
Indians.
Later the United States supreme
court decided the issue against the
state, and Mrs. Lydeck pressed her
application tor the allotments.
A part of the town of Cass Lake,
which was sold couple of years ago
at public auction for the purpose OF b
townsite, occupies section IS. This
is not affected by the decision.
The remaining portion OF the town

bodiment of all the evils of COMPETE
ton, because he had the power to
destroy rivals. Indeed, it was the
contemplated exercise of this power
that led to the taking of the first
step toward the formation of the
United States Steel corporation.
The National Tube company was a
very large and prosperous organiza-
ton. Its capital stock was $SO,000,000
It owned five blast furnaces. It
owned and operated nine rolling mills
and steel works and IA pipe and tube
works. Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan was
one of the proprietors. Mr.. Schwab,
who was then president of the Car
negie company, planned to build a
tube mill for his company, tube
mill so perfect in design, equipped
with such excellent machinery, while
it was to be operated with such great
economy, that he expected to add
one more dominating factory to the al
ready long list of such factories in
Mr.. Carnegie's kingdom. Mr.. Carne-
pie was dissatisfied with the rates of
freight charged by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company for carrying his
iron and steel goods from Pittsburg
to the seaboard, and he threatened to
build line of his own, for which
surveys were actually made. The
lamentations of large capitalists be-

neighbor.
At this iuncture Mr.. J. Edward
Simmons, the president of the Fourth
national bank, of New York, gave a
dinner in honor of Mr.. Charles NJ.
schwab, and Mr.. Morgan was one of
the guests. In speech which he
made after dinner, Mr.. Schwab out
lined his views on combinations
views apparently so large, so wise, and
so interesting, that Mr.. Morgan was
strongly impressed by the speech and
the speaker. Then there began a
series of interviews which eventually
led to the founding of the United
States Steel corporation, to the real
ization of Mr.. Carnegie's desire to
retire from the control of the bust
ness. and to the elimination of a
strong one-man power, approaching
absolutism. The new combination
was a federal republic composed of
former rival powers, chief among
which was the old Carnegie kingdom.
It is an Interesting and an important
fact that while the negotiations
were in progress Mr.. Carnegie de-
clined to enter the combination un-
less Mr.. Morgan would become it's
head. He insisted on this as guar
anty of strong and wise manage
ment.

Henry LOOMS Nelson contributes
to the December Century paper
in the Trust series which bears it's
authoritativeness on it's face. Of the
origin of the United States Steel cor
pora ton Mr.. Nelson gives this &C.
count:
Mr.. Carnegie was the master of
one of the most perfect human or

complete and efficient was it that he
is reported to have said: Take away
all our factories, our trade, our ave-
nues Of transportation, our money;
leave me. our organization, and in
four years I will have reestablished
myself"
This splendid and powerful organ
izatioh gave him liberty of action, the
privilege to be absent from his mills
and from the country, and at the
same time gave him also almost abb
solute power over the business OF
iron and steel making. He could and
did change prices when he deemed it
for his interests to do so. He con-
structed mills for making articles
which he had not previously manu-
featured, in order that he might
bring unruly customers or competi-
tors to terms. He had constructed

ing her in my quarters she jumped
at me and my German boarhounds
came to help. What could they do?
She seized one by the throat. In
minute he was dead. She turned to
the other, who had been biting her.
She was too quick for him, and in a
moment her teeth were in his throat.
I beat her with bars-big iron bars
but what did she care? She would
have killed others had they been
there. She would have killed me had
we not beaten her almost to death
with the iron bars. 1t was the tiger
next. He was big wild tiger, just
from Bengal, where he had been
trapped. He did not like things as
they were in the cage. He would
show his temper at me, though he
did not try to jump on me. He did
not like the other animals. He caused
me much trouble because he was al
ways trying to fight. He attacked
Puss in Berlin at the Busch circus.
It was in the ring, where all could
see.
"Puss was watching him. As he
jumped upon her she jumped aside.
Then she sprang. Her teeth were in
his throat, and as he rose on his
hind legs she dug her claws into his
chest and chung like bulldog. We
used the bars again, but she paid no
attention to them. She would not
let 20. She hung on with teeth and
claws until the tiger gurgled and fell
over, dead. Then came the polar
bear. He was one of the best we
had-all but his bad temper. He did
not like to do as he was told. Puss
was ready, when the time came, for
a quarrel. The bear thought it was
so easy just to give this little one
cuff and send her across the cage.
But Puss went at the throat again.
We beat her with bars, the dogs went
at her and bit her, but she chung un-
til she had killed him.
"Ah! but the cheetah-that was
lively" and the trainers eye lit up
with enthusiasm. ''The cheetah, too,
is small and quick. And she, this
cheetah, was not afraid. They quar-
relied while we were playing in Wen
ma, Both were loose in the cage.
They both sprang at the same time.
They fought and bit each other, but
Puss was quicker and Puss was bet
ter. The cheetah went with the rest.
She had a hole in her windpipe where
Puss' teeth went, and her body was
all torn up by claws. Puss was al
most beaten to death by us again,
but she would not let go until the
fight was over.

Needless Forest Fires.

The fact that eighty-three young
men are studying forestry at the ex-
pertinent station, St. Anthony Park,
is On indication of the growing in
terest in this science. And the fact
that Mr.. William Il. Cox, q native
and resident of Pope county, who re-
ceived part of his training at the
same school, was selected by the
United States forestry bureau to in
vestigate and report on the Septem-
Der forest fires in Oregon and WASH
ington shows that ability and con-
scientious forestry work will be
pretty sure of recognition.
Mr.. Cox's report is printed in the
November number of Forestry and
Irrigation, and is a remarkably inter-
esting and able document. He visited
the burned regions on horseback,
fording difficult streams, and the in
formation he obtained is undoubtedly
trustworthy. The areas burned over
amounted in the aggregate to 100000
acres, equal to twenty-six congress
sional townships, the most of which
was richly timbered. The total dam
age from the fires, an itemized state
ment of which is given, he estimates
at $12,OOO,00C; but considerable OF the
timber can be saved if cut this
winter. Three hundred and eleven
families were left homeless, hum
dreds of other settlers suffered loss
and eighteen people persisted. The
fires had been burning several weeks
before the principal damage was
done, but it was nobody's business to
look after them.
Mr.. Cox says: "Had timely meas"
ures been taken l feel satisfied that
all of these fires could have been ex-
tinguished before becoming serious,
and had there been rangers in these
localities it is doubtful if any lres
would have occurred, barring OF
course, such accidental ones as that
set by the locomotive"
