Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont, May 1.-The most sensa-
|tional damage suit in the history of west
ern Montana closed suddenly late yester
day afternoon, when the attorneys for the
defense made a compromise offer of $4,000
cash. which was accepted. This offer
came as the climax In damaging testimony
offered by counsel for John Hay, who was
suing James Cowan for $25, 900 for alien
ating his wife's affections.
COwan Is more than 20 years old, while
Mrs. Hay is a beautiful woman of 80. Both
are we'll known in church circles and are
members of exclusive social and wealthy
families.
A compromise was only effected, how
ever. after some warm and ardent love
letters sent by Cowan to Mrs. Hay were
read to the jury. In one he addressed her
as my dearest darling Eva. and signed
it your loving Polly At this juncture
Cowan's lawyers secured an adjournment
Of court, and later it was announced that
Cowan had written his check for $4,000
in favor of Hay.

LOGGING IN SUMNER
scanlon-Gipson Company of Mime
apolis Will Have $4,000, 600
Feet Cut by Contract.
Stock Will Be Made Into Lumber at
Duluth There Are
Running Full.
special to The Journal,


Duluth Mimi. May 1.-Contracts have
been made by the Scanlon- Gipson COM
pany of Minneapolis with the Clark Jack
son Lumber company of this city for the
cutting this summer of $4,000, 900 feet Of
the latter's timber. This was to have
gone to the Brooks -Scanlon mill at Sean
lon, but several reasons have caused the
stock to be diverted this way 1t will be
taken out of the Cloquet river at the Du-
luth d Iron Range crossing and hauled
to the mill over that road The mill starts
up in short time and will have a full
cut for the season thru this contract.
The mill of Reyton. kimball & Barber
Is also to have some saving Contracts
have been made with Bolin & Wood leg
gers, who last winter bought state timber
on the upper Cloquet river, and they have
contracted for the sa wing of 10000. 900
feet atFtle Barber mill this summer. The
timber has not been logged, but work is
to be started at once.
Aside from these two mills everything
at the head of the lake is running full.
The number of mills this year is twelve
that Of the West Superior Lumber COM
pany having been torn down and removed
to the far southwest during the winter
Most Of the ten now in operation arc run
ming twenty hours and the others will get
into double shift after while. There has
been a remarkable wedding out of idle
men: since the mills began resumption
and there are few woodsmen and mill
hands on the streets.
Rivers are running very high and some
logs are coming down. but the ma
drives are not yet running. The various
boom companies have organized their
forces for the season and the sorting
grounds are ready for the logs soon to
come into them. Drivers are all on hand
and the wage scale is about the same for
them as, 1t has been in the few pa years.
Log towing for head OF the lake mills
has not commenced tho for cross lake
mills 1t is under Roadway. There are so
many severe northeast storms early in
the season that mill men here do not like
tn get their logs in the open lake until it
Is more settled as to weather and winds
They were very successful last year in
rafting and but few logs were lost. Care
7ul towing. big tugs, access to weather
indications and rapid communica ton be-
tween the offices at Duluth and the bank
% fns grounds. either by telephone carrier
pigeon or other. swift and sure means
have reduced the amount of probable
losses in towing to minimum and made
possible long tows that would have been
fmpracticable a few years ago These
have widened the area from which logs
can come to the head Of the lakes.

President OF the College OF Mines Exposes
a Fraud.
HOUGHTON. MICH.-President Fred
w. McNair of the Michigan College Of
Mines sounds a.note Of warning in public
letter In which he says his attention has
been called to a collection of letters from
various persons regarding a property in
the Bisbee district iii Arizona. A state
ment on the cover announces that with
the letters are given extracts from the
report Of J. W. Carroll, formerly of the
Michigan College of Mines, and recog-
nized authority on copper mines The
literature and is signed u. M. Carroll
President McNair asserts that no per-
son named r. w. or j. M. Carroll ever
was student or employed in any posi-
ton in the Michigan College Of Mines.
and he is forced to the conclusion that
someone is trying to make INSCRIPTIONS
use of the reputation Of the college to
foist a worthless property upon unwary
investors.
To enable it to handle the business for
the Quincy Mining company the plant Of
the Houghton County Electric Light and
Power company will be greatly enlarged,
increasing the boiler capacity about SO per
cent. The Quincy mine was the first in
the Lake Superior district to install cleo
trio motors for underground tramming
and the experiment has been so success
full that ten new motors will be installed
just as soon as the necessary power can
be furnished by the Houghton company.

RECOGNITION OF UNION
Button Works Will Accept the Ultlmatum
Of Striking Girl Employees.


Of Striking Girl Employees.
LA CROSSE, WIS.-Altho Manager.
Hallauer of the, Wisconsin Pearl Button
Works announced yesterday that the
former wages of the carders, who walked
out month ago because they were dis
satisfied with the change in the scale of
wages, would be restored, the girls, eighty
in number, have not returned to work.
Since the walk-out union has been
formed and the strikers refuse to go back
unless the union is recognized. This
means that all employees in the factory,
about $50 in humber. must join the
union before they can be retained in the
factory. The management will submit.
Captain w. A. Thompson, who has
charge Of the river improvements OH the
upper Mississippi river. announces that
the work will begin this year about May
49, Most of the improvements will con-
sist of raising old dams and building new
ones between Brownsville and Winona.
The principal object of the government
this year will be to remove the sand bars
in the vicinity of Dresbach which have
for years almost tied up navigation be-
tween this city and Winona during low
water. To effect this improvement it
will be necessary to build a series Of
wing dams which i'll confine the channel
to a narrow passage way and insure a
depth of about 1--WE feet during low water.
Contracts for furnishing brush and other
material for the work will be let May 8.
An important case was settled in Judge
Brindley's court yesterday against the
BARRIERS union. The union caused the
arrest of William Prebe, a non-union
barber on the charge of violating the
state laws regarding work on Sundays.
The case was tried by jury and while the
evidence showed that Priebe kept his
shop open, the jury found him not guilty.
This is considered slap at the union.
