Ironwood, Mich, July 12.-The resi-
dence Of Earl Walton. superintendent
Of the Brotherton and Sunday Lake
mines, at Wakefield. on the east end
Of the Gogebic range, was destroyed
by dynamite. Not less than twenty
pounds Of dynamite was used. Sections
of the house and veranda were blown
200 feet, but the family, asleep up
stairs, escaped serious injury.
Superintendent Walton has no idea
as TO the identity Of the perpetrators
or their motives. A strike occurred
at the mines in January against 10
per cent cut in wages. Some of the
old empolyes found their places taken
when the two mines resumed shipping.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AL
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
FRIDAY. MAY 6, 1904.

Our contention is that the ma
tional government should reclaim
the arid lands of the west on two
conditions. First, that the
money invested by the national
government in irrigation works
should be repaid to the govern
ment by the settlers who take
the reclaimed lands, in long
term annual installments. Sc
cond, that the lands reclaimed
must Ue subdivided into small
farms of not exceeding 100 acres.
The above is frcm an interview by
Mr.. Maxwell, who receives $50, 900 6
year to lobby for land legislation il
Washington in the interest of big
land holders, and one would suppose
from what he says, that congress hai
failed to do its duty. The fact is th'
irrigation law specifically provides
that the money shall be repaid to tn G
government and that one person shall
not own to exceed 100 acres. Tht
high-priced agitator appears to be
running short of material

, The action of the city council in
refusing to confirm the nomination of
Judge Burke for city attorney is liable
to mislead those not veIsant with the
situstion. There is no more popular
and competent attorney in the city
than Mr.. Burke, and the Inter Ocean
believes that everyone whu knows him
likes him and admires him. This is
particularly true of every member of
the council. But the city has llti ga
ton pending in the supreme cour,
in which Mr.. Burke represents the
opposite side in one case. If Mr..
Burke Was selected as attorney for the
city another attorney. involving con.
siderable expense, would have to be
employed to defend this case. There
fore the council took the position that
under the circumstances it is not now
advisable to make change.
