SOUTH DAKOTA
LAW IS HELD VALID.
Judge Garland Of the Federal Court
Sustains the South Dakota Anti
Compact Act.
Demurrer Of the Commissioner to the
Complaint of Insurance Com
panies Upheld.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. fudge
Garland of the United States court
yesterday afternoon handed down a
decision in the case instituted by the
Hartford Fire Insurance company, the
Phoenix Insurance company Of Brook
lyn, the Royal Insurance company of
Liverpool, the German-Anerican Fire
Insurance company and the Spring
field Fire and Marine Insurance COM
pany against John. G.. Perkins, state
commissioner of insurance, in which
he sustains the demurrer of the state
to the complaint of the insurance COM
the anticompact law enacted by the
last legislature is constitutional.
The insurance companies sought to
have the law declared unconstitutional
as being in conflict with both state
and federal constitutions. The de-
fendant demurred to the bill for want
Of equity.
Judge Carland's decision, which
covers the case thoroly, says In part:
Clearly these complainants have the
option either to cease business in the
state of South Dakota or to comply
with the law in question. They have
no constitutional rights that are in
fringed by it, and If they have they
cannot be heard to say that other cor
porations have"

PERPETUAL LIGHT
May Be Obtained by Soaking SuIphate o.
Zinc In Radlurn Solution.


Zinc In Radlurn Solution.
New York Herald.
If an active product Of radium Is shut
up In a, closed space with other sub
stances and they are left together a GER
tain time. It will be found that such sub
stances have acquired an activity analo-
gous to that Of radium itself. and the
smaller the space In which they are shut
up the greater the activity.
For example,, Take two glass bulbs con-
nected by a horizontal tube. into one OF
the bulbs pour a solution Of chloride Of
radium; in the other phosphorescent sui
plate Of zinc. Close the bulbs completely,
SO as to exclude the air from them. When
this combination Is kept in the dark II
will be found. sooner or later, that the
sulphate of zinc has become luminous as
we'll as all the glass In the apparatus. II
the two bulbs are separated the sulphate
Of zinc will continue luminous for some
time-perhaps for a, month--but gradually
becoming weaker. II the atmosphere be
admitted to the bulb the light disappears
within q few hours.
BY putting this experiment into appli-
cation the problem Of what Is called per.
petual light has been solved. The meta
is used to light up q small town in Wis
consin Lamps Of various forms and sizes
are made; they look like petroleum lamps
in which the tube intended for the wicl
Is filled with sulphate Of zinc. The manu-
facturer. by means OF a tube, con1muni
cates tho luminous power furnished by al
infinitesin1al piece OF radiuna, combined
with sulphate Of zinc, and for more thar
a month that lamp gives its light withou
the necessity Of touching it. When tn,
| light Wafaes the lamp Is charged again a
a, very small cost, as the radiunn does no
consume.

INTRODUCED BY VAN SAINT.
A. Thousand Heard La Toilette Speak
at Fergus Falls.

FERGUS FALLS, MINN.-Gover
nor La Toilette of Wisconsin delivered
an address In the Lyceum theater last
evening before an audience Of 1000
people. The address marked the OPEN
ing of the, high school and college
lecture course, and Governor Van
SAINT introduced the speaker. The
subject of the lecture was Represent
alive Government" and the speaker S
arraignment of the legislative assem-
blies and of the national congress was
simply scathing.
He took the ground that public
service corporations were exercising
entirely too much influence in this
country, and gave a detailed history of
the fight on the interstate commerce
law and of recent events in Wisconsin.
He believed that it was futile to at
tempt to eradicate or curb the vicious
trusts and monopolies as long as the
railroads were allowed to charge such
freight rates as they saw fit, and to
discriminate as they do in favor of
| large shippers.
He complimented Governor Van
SAINT on the advanced stand he had
taken on the transportation question
and declared that if the primary cleo
ton law applied to state officers there
would be no question about the re-
nomination Of the present governor.

WATER PROBLEM AT HIBBING
Mine Owners Are Trying to Shift 1t
upon Some One Else.

HIBBING, MINN.-Half a dozen big
mining companies interested at HID
bling are sparring to see whose prov
ince it shall be to pump the vast
amount of water collecting In the HID
bling basin.
When the Penobscot was in opera
ton it pumped the entire basin, with
a pumping cost that was appalling.
When the steel corporation bought the
mine it closed it down and disman-
tied the plant, so that the next deep
est mines in the basin have been get
ting water within the past few weeks.
Their lowest levels are 100 feet higher
than those of Penobscot. Both these
next mines are the properties or indie
pendent stee1-making companies, one
of the Buffalo Steel company and the
other of the International Harvester
company.
The latter company, in order to get
away, from the water problem, Is to
strip and mine by the milling system
trusting not to go deep until some one
else has to, and SO have the water.
BY stripping and mining open pit, the
water burden would be thrown back
on the Steel corporations Hull and
Rust mines.
These have now been closed down
completely, and it is understood they
will not be reopened till they have
been in their turn stripped and made
steam shovel mines. This Will throw
the water on others. The Elizabeth
belonging to Pickands, Mather & c.:
was to have been opened and SHAFT
was going down. But 1t would take
all the water under present conditions
The work has been stopped and this
mine may not be opened for some
time.

LA TOILETTE AT NIAYVILLE
Urges the Young Men to Stand for
Ballot Reform.

MAYvILLE, N. ED.--When Cover
nor La Toilette Of Wisconsin walked
out upon the stage of the opera-house
to deliver his lecture on Representa-
tive Government he was greeted by
as large and as enthusiastic on au-
dience as ever assembled here.
At one time he paused and said,
so seriously at first the audience
thought him in earnest, that, OF
course in North Dakota there was no
trouble arising from the desire of
corporations to run the state. When
the people caught on, there was a,
tumultuous applause and laughter. He
declared at another time that prom
inent official told him at Fargo the
other day that North Dakota does not
have semblance of representative
government, and that before every
election a man comes out from New
York and dictates the nominations.
Referring to the movement now on
foot in the state to secure a primary
election law, the speaker made a most
earnest and magnetic appeal to his
hearers, and especially the young men
to stand firmly for it, for representa-
tive government begins with the nom
nations and not with the elections, al
some think.

Special to The Journal
Marquette, Mich. Nov. THE long
standing dispute between the state and
federal authorities as to the right of
the government to Ash in Michigan
waters after the commercial fishing
season has closed, for the purpose Of
gathering spawn, was brought to a
crisis last evening by the arrest of
S. p. Wires, superintendent of the Du-
luth hatchery together with other
United States employees and the own
ers and masters Of the fishing tugs
Theora and Columbia.
The warrants We're sworn out by
Deputy Warden Brewster under a pro-
vision of the state law which pro-
vides that such collection of spawn
must be under the supervision of the
state authorities. In addition, x the
days catch Of Ash and the nets were
seized. n Sg
The defendants were at once ar
raigned before Judge Byrne, before
whom, to bring the matter to a test.
Superintendent Wires pleaded guilty,
and was fined $25 and costs, the other
cases being temporarily dropped.
Wires Immediately gave notice Of an
appeal and the case will come up for
trial at the December term Of the CIR
cult court. s;
The federal OFFICIALS contend that
4 they have a right to fish when and
where they please, and the litigation
now started will finally determine this
/ important point. Whatever the de-
cision In the circuit court, it Is not
/ doubted that the case will be carried
/ to higher tribunals.

NO INCREASE IN SALARY.
Demurrer in the Hauser Case at Aber
deem Is Sustained.

ABERDEEN. S. D.--Judge Mccoy
has given his decision In the salary
case of the county Judge of Brown
county, j. Fl. Hauser, and he decides
that so far as Hauser is concerned the
law Is unconstitutional, the :constitu-
ton providing that salaries may not be
increased or decreased during the term
Of office of any official.
Hauser applied to the county com
missioners for an increase Of salary al
lowance on the ground that the popu-
lation of the county is 10000 or more.
The board refused to make an increase
and he then asked the circuit court
for a mandamts to compel the com
missioners to pay the higher amount.
To this the commissioners, thru the
states attorney, demurred on the
ground of unconstitutionality Of the
law in this case, and the decision OF
Judge Mccoy sustains the demurrer
There are several other cases pending

NORTH DAKOTA
ESTABLISHES A PRECEDENT
500 Lines Main Track Ordered Out
80 Because of Old Agreement.


WAFPETON, N. D.-The supreme
court has handed down a decision
which is considered Of great import
ance, as it Is the first Of it's kind.
When the 500 was built across this
state 1t passed over what was then
the Cleveland farm in this county.
The right Of way for about four miles
was given the railroad company, the
consideration being that a station was
to be erected and maintained at a
certain point within the limits Of the
farm. and in case the company failed
to maintain the station there, then
the land. granted for right Of way
Should revert to the original owners.
For about ten years the station was
maintained, but later removed. The
original owners then brought an ac-
ton in the ejectlnent to get possession
of the right of way strip. The COM
pany set UP as a defense that the
railway was an artery of travel, carry
ing passengers, mail and freight, and
that such an action would be against
public policy. as g, railroad Is a semi
public corporation.
The district court decided in favor
of the original owners and issued a
writ to- remove the. track. To-, this
Judgment the company appealed
which judgment was affairmed. Z
K The company may, if it chooses,
condemn the. land and pay for it,
but the damages to all the land sur
rounding must be paid, which will
make an expensive right Of way.
Should It refuse to condemn, the only
thing then. to do is for the sheriff
| to tear UP the track.
