old time space on the first floor,
while Aune & Thune are to have
what they wish for in the Hough-
master building. Mr.. Houghmaster
has assented to the reconstruction
on no-hotel basis, and .Schmahl
is now in Chicago endeavoring to
make arrangements for the COM
mencement anew of the business of
his firm. With the final approval
of the whole plan an architect will
be employed to carry it into effect.
In the meantime Aune & Thune
have rented the south half of the
lower floor of the NJ asonic block and
will be ready for business with a
new stock of clothing, by Nov. 10th.
Francois & Schmahl will probably
secure the north half, where the
bowling alley is now located, for
the commencement of their business
again. Mill street will boom dur
ing the stay of these two firms.
1t is estimated that the founda-
ton walls of both of the destroyed
buildings are in perfect condition,
end hence a salvage of between
$4,000 and $4,000. A large quantity
of good brick can also be saved
from the standing walls, as well as
from the ground.
Three sites have been mentioned
for hotel building. One of these
is either at the northwes or south
west corner of Mill and Second
streets; another is the vacant prop

PERI
Phoenix like, from the ashes
caused by the destruction of the
Hotel Francois block, and of the
Houghmaster Office building, early
Thursday morning last, are build
ings to be erected to cover the same
territory.
The fire had hardly more than
passed into history before a plan
was set on foot for rebuilding on
that corner, and while the plan
does not take in the construction of
the hotel, it takes in the construc-
ton of a building that will be an or
nament to the corner, and will be
the cause of the erection of hotel
building in another portion of the
city.
The First National bank officials
are interested in the reconstruc-
ton. They are deslrouS OF taking
the corner where the Office of Hotel
Francois stood, and using the same
for the bank building, the same to
be constructed in the most modern
manner, fre-proof in every respect.
In addition to this they will enter
into an arrangement with Francois
& Schmahl and with George Hough-
master for the construction of one

territory, Francois & Schmahl to

it will never attain the mangitude
insured by the natural advantages
of the state when once the extraneous
difficulties wolves and dogs, have
! been done away with. In Saturday g
Pioneer Press Prof. Shaw showed
how the complaisant tolerance of
worthless ours had driven from the
state great sheep breeding enter
prise that would have raised grade
Of Minnesota sheep and have helped
to give the sheep industry a frmer
foothold. But the false sentiment
that every dog is mans best friend
and that he is therefore entitled to
greater freedom to destroy property
and make nuisance of himself than
children or even fu]l-fedged citizens
resulted in such depredations in the
worrying and killing of sheep tkat
Montana is now enjoying the benefit
of that enterprise. And this is only
one instance in hundreds.
1t is d we'll kow n fact that the dog
and the wolf are the two principal
enemies of the sheep industry in this
state, So favora bic are all the
natural conditions that Minnesota
ought to be and will De when these
obstacles are removed the great
sheep raising state in the country
east of the range states. Minnesota
lambs have beaten all other states
and the world is competition, and
yet Minnesota ranks low among
sheep raising states in the number
Of sheep in it's focks. According to
the census returns, it had only about
$50, 900 sheep in 1900, while Ohio,
with natural conditions no better or
not so favorable and with an area
half that of Minnesota, had 2, 64S, 900
sheep.
The keeping of dogs for hunting
or for useful purposes of any kind
or the keeping of them for pets can
not be reasonably objected 70. But
it >>is not unreasonable to demand
that dogs who either have no owner
or whose owners do not care enough
fol them to pay tax Of - should be
got rid of in order that the sheep
industry may have chance to
flourish. Furthermore, it is not un-
reasonable to demand that hunting
dogs watchdogs and pets be subject
ed to whatever measure of restraint
is necessary to keep them from de-
the property of others and
making nuisances of themselves.
Dogs may be worthy Of much more
lenient treatment than small boys,
who would be quickly clapped into

The unlawful acts in restraint OF
trade OF which the Northern Sc
curlties Company is adjudged guilty
by the United States circuit court
of appeals in the decision handed
down at St. Paul yesterday, are
summrily stated in the language of
the court as follows:
First, it placed tn Q control of the
two roads, the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern, in the hands of
the securities a company, by virtue
of it's ownership of a large majority
of the stock Of both companies; ;
second it destroyed every motive
for competition between two roads
engaged in interstate traffic which
were natural competitors for busi-
ness, by pooling the earnings Of the
two roads for the common benefits
Of the stockholders of both COM
panies, and, according to the familiar
rule that everyone is presumed to
intend what is the necessary conse-
queuce of his own acts, when done
willfully and deliberately, we must
conclude that those who conceived
and executed the plan aforesaid in
tended among other things, to ac-
complish these objects.
The Sherman anti trust law is
leveled against lever y person who
shall monopolize or attempt to
monopolize, OF combine or conspire
with any other person Or persons, to
monopolize, any part Of the trade or
commerce among the several states"
and it distinctly specifies that the
word ''person" or ::'persons' shall
be deemed to include corporations
and associations. When the ''mer-
ger" of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern was Investigated by
Attorney General Knox, at the
instance of President Roosevelt,
he came to the conclusion that it
was in violation Of the Sherman law
and could not stand in the courts.
The outcome of the litigation
demonstrates the strength of the
Sherman law and attests the legal
acumen of the attorney general
for the organizers of the 'merger'
had not proceeded without the
advice of eminent lawyers.
The decision does not merely make
it difficult for the Northern Secur-
tiles Company to pursue it's course.
It puts it out of business; forbidding
it from acquiring and from voting
stock and prohibiting the underly-
ing companies from paying over
