HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.


This same incident occurred last summer
when a rate of one fare for the round trip
was announced to New York Four tickets
were sold at the International and Great
Northern ticket office before the rate was
withdrawn Prior to that time. perhaps
eight years ago, very low rate was Sc
cured to New York for the Christian En-.
doavor convention. Many Houstonians at.
tended the convention and remember the
circumstances.
1t was impossible to secure round trip
one-f fare rate TO the Dewey celebration,
simply because the Eastern roads had more
business than they could handle At rcgufar
rates. Resides that, New York city was
ovcrcroNded with visitors The roads would
have been foolish to reduce their earnings
ana at the same time work an additional
hardship on the city
Passenger men figure II this way: II a
person Is going to New York. he or she Is
going no matter what the rate may be
| They usually 60 there on business and the
rutc Of fare cuts little figure. The people
who 60 there or 10 Atlantic City on pleas
ure bent have plenty Of money and pay
very little attention to rates.

Not long ago others became interested
in this land and an administrator was ap-

Kosmerl had in the meantime optioned
the land to the Oliver Mining company

The latter went into the land and did a
little exploration, but before anything had
been determined as to it's value the suits
came up and all work was stopped, Kos

upon after the title was settled. :.

Numerous sets of attorneys are in the

from outside, in the latter being Messrs.
kellogg and Severance OF St. Paul, who
appear for Kcsmerl and, Incidentally, for
the Oliver Mining company. The case has
been in the probate court and has now
reached the trial court, but will probably
continue on as long as there is place to

SlHELDEN,

Tot al. ............. ~ Iotal ......'~-..-". 80
In Chippewa county where Postmaster
Webst er is boss, the ring won the dele
cation for Sheldon hands down, and IN
Schoolcraft Young won because the
friends of the former postmaster, VINO
was refused a reappointment, were more
numerous in the city of Manistique than
were the supporters Of the present post
master. '-,..-
By the result in Schoolcraft it seems
evident that Sheldon made mistake in
the postoff1ce appointment, which may
cost him his denomination, since 1t is
conceded that whichever Of the two can
didates enters the convention in the lead
it will be only by two or three votes. Had
the old postmaster been renominated, 1t
is likely Schoolcraft's three votes would
not be in the Young column.
OF the counties still to elect delegates,
Dickinson. with seven votes; Gogebic,
with six, and Luce, with two, are practi-
cally conceded to Young. Baraga, with
three votes, will also, undoubtedly, be
found in his column, and he appears to
have much the better chance in Iron,
with four delegates. Should he capture
all these counties, and Of this there does
not seem to be much doubt. except in the
case of Iron, which, to be impartial,
will be classed as doubtful, he will enter
the congressional convention with total
of tifty-one votes, or two more than nec-
essary to nominate, there being total
vote of ninety-seveu. The two other coun-
ties-Houghton, with twenty-five votes,
and keweenaw, with two-are by majority y
consent conceded to Sheldon, giving him
total delegation of forty seven, two less
than sufficient to win.
In HoughtOn county, however a peculiar
situation exists, through the candidacy of
Charles Wright, who, except in this coun-
ty, which Is the home of both himself and
Sheldon, does not figure in the race.
Wright, is making strenuous fight to
capture the twenty-five votes, and by
some politicians it is figured he will be
successful. The prospects are however,
that while the township caucuses will be
close as between Wright and Sheldon,
local pride in being the home county of
the congressman from the twelfth dis
trlct will predominate and Sheldon will
be given the delegation, as without it it
would be impossible for him to win.
With Houghton, then, for Sheldon, the
situation finds Iron county the only pivot
al point, and it Is in that county that the
workers Of both candidates-Young and
Shelden-are being concentrated. Much
money, it Is said, is being spent, but with
the county machinery back Of Young, with
the other conditions equal, the Marquette
county man seems to have the inside
track. All in all, Young seems to possess
the better chance of capturing the nomi-
nation. The congressional convention has
been called to meet at Marquette on
Tuesday, July Is.
