Sinking Of the Boilers at the
Lumber Mill an Unex-
planned Mystery.
WORK ON REPAIRS BEING
III PUSHED DAY AND NIGHT.
Mill Will be in Operation Again
by June Is if Not
Before.

The sinking of the foundations
under the battery Of boilers at
the mill of the Crookston Lum
Der Company on Friday last
does not now appear as serious
as at first thought,
Superintendent Murch has had
a large force of men at work day
and night since the accident hap
pened, and today had so far re-
moved the foundations as to be
enabled to Judge Of the scope OF
the damage and the time it will
require to rebuild the founda-
tion and start the boilers, and he
gives It out that the mill will be
il full operation again by June 10,
at the latest, provided no unfor-
seen difficulty intervenes.
The primary cause for the
sinking of the foundations re-
mains as yet mystery, although
two experts have assisted Mt,
Murchi in the thorough inspection
that has been made Of the con
struction work and material that
was, employed in the same.
The foundations for the arches
or boiler settings consist first Of
piling driven deep into the water
and having 12xl2 caps, on which
are placed four inch planks to
form a flooring On this is laid
ten inches of concrete, covered
with sand to a depth of twenty
eight inches, the whole topped
with four inches of brick. From
this brick covering to the fires
there is a space Of thirty three
inches, solidly protected by brick
and cement. This is after the
plans Of the best mill construc-
tiion, and an accident similar to
this one has heretofore been un-
known.
After tearing away the founda:
tions and probing to the bottom,
3 it was discovered that the piline
forming the first foundation had
NJ in some mysterious manner
caught fire and smonldered,
probably for some time past,as il
was in a perfect charcoal condi-
ton when unearthcd. The Wesll-
ening of the foundation from this
source caused it to sink from ten
to thirteen inches.
Superintendent Murch has
had the boilers braced up and
they will not be removed as at
first expected, while the new
foundations are being built. This
will at least save three weeks in
time. In the meantime most Of
the mill employees are being
worked about the mill plant in
one capacity or another, few Of
the high priced men only being
idle.

The city council held a meeting
Tuesday evening, and transacted
considerable routine business. The
matter of publishing the council
proceedings was taken up in detail.
The council cancelled their con-
tract with the News and TIMES to
publish their proceedings and ordin-
ances at thirty cents folio fer
each paper and made arrangements
with the two papers to publish the
matter at $3.50 per month for each
paper. This will give the proceed

at cost of three hundred dollars a

The great meat strike is still in
progress, but latest indications are
that the packing companies will win.
They seem to have been able to keep
their big plants in Chicago and
Sotuh St. Paul in operation. and
each day are adding new emplo yees.
Hundreds of cars of fresh meats are
now being shipped from the Chicago
plant. The meat trust seems to
have thorough hold on the meat
business and the output of fresh
meats, even though sympathy has
directed against them from every
part of the country. The consumer
will no doubt be taxed up by the
trusts for the cost of the strike.

Mr.. Kempf's friends regard
this as simply a clever and I'M
scrupolus attack to influence the
bonding company and cause it to
refuse to increase the bond of
the state treasurer.
The word ''criminality" in the
editorial, it is said was used
simply for the covert purp ose of
raising question in the minds
OF the officials. of the comp any,
and it is said that the editorial
was last night telegraphed out
of the office of the organ of the
third-termers, for the express
purpose of having it reach Balti-
more, and thus prejudice the
Baltimore officials of the COM
pany.
A delay of the officials in sign
ing the bond will be as good as a
direct refusal. as it will give the
administration the much want
edexcuse of removing the state
treasurer on the ground of fail
ure to file his new bond in &C
cordance with the governors de-
mand.
That the bonding company
would delay to make an investi.
cation into the facts, was re-
garded as certain, by the third
termers, it is believed. for moth.
ing else could be expected from
a conservative concern.
Mr.. Kempf does not fear the
Investigation however, and in his
public statement probably to be
made Wednesday will give fully
every fact connected with the al
legged shortage.
The antipathy of the admins
tration to StateTreasurer Kempf
dates from his first nomination
two years ago, wien the admin
istration opposed him, but was
powerless to prevent his nomi-
nation. Mr.. Kempf was then
nominated by the assistance of
the regular Republicans.
Mr.. Kempf was in consultation
with thelocal agents of the bond
ing company all Wednesday
morning and talked with the
Baltimore officials over the long
distance telephone, it is believed.
He has turned the entire matter
over to Attorney w. T. Timlin,
who was busy this afternoon in
preparing the statement that Mr..
Kempf expects to make public
tomorrow or next day. Mr..
Timlin, it is believed, was also in
communication with the bonding
company, and is preparing to
appeal to the courts in anticipa-
ton of an announcement by the
governor declaring the state
treasurer's Office vacant.
1t is said that Mr.. Kempfwould
not now be removed from the
| office if he would consent to re-
sign from his place on the La
Toilette ticket. It is said the
LaFolletteites would like to nomi-
nate a man from up state, who
) would command votes in some OF
the shaky LaFollette counties.
Mr.. Kempf, however, refuses
to resign his place on the LaF'ol-
; lette ticket, and thus, in order to
{ force him from it, the attempt
will be made, it is expected, to
force his resignation from the
ticket by removing him from his
present Office.

Things Doing in the Office of the
State Treasurer.
State Treasurer Sas S He Can Explain the
Matter. Governor LaFollette Likely
to Declare the Office Vacant.
Larger Bond Demanded.

State Treasurer Kempf is hav-
ing lots of trouble. There is a
discrepancy of So, 400 in his &C
counts ane Governor La Toilette
has demanded that this bond be
increased to 100000.
The statement of the state
treasurer is awaited with impa-
tient interest by politicians.
1t is probable that State Trea-
urer Kempf will not be able to
get his new bond for 100000
from the Fidelity and Casualty
company of Maryland for a
couple of days, owing to delays
at Baltimore office of the COM
pany.
tits believed that that admin
istration will seize the opportun-
ity of Immediately removing
the state treasurer from his
Office, on the ground of failure to
provide tie bond. The law is
very indiinite as to the length
of time that the state treasurer
should be given to file his new
bond, and this will allow the adj
ministration to act without de-
lay.
In case such drastic action is
taken by the administration, and
it is expected that announce
ment Of the removal of Mr..
Kempf will be made Wednesday
or Thursday, the state treasurer
will woke the aid of the courts.
FFhe courts will be appealed to on
the ground that there is no just
cause for removal, and that he
should be allowed reasonable
time to file new bond, in view
of the fact that the law is indefin-
tie in naming the length of time
that should be allotted him.
/ Local lawyers familiar with the
law bearing on the question,
which once before has been
tested, are Of the opinion that
Mr.. Kempf is right, and that the
courts Will take due cognizance
of the fact that a bond of $500,
900 is of an unusual amount, and
not to be obtained at moment S
notice, and that a reasonable
time should be considered al
least ten days.
The La Toilette administration
is determined to remove State
Treasurer Kempf at all hazards,
and all cost. if it can be accom-
plished. It is determined to re-
move him both from the ofie as
state treasurer, and from his
ticket as candidate for re-elec-
ton.
There are no just grounds for
this attempt, in the opinion OF
; Mr.. Kempf's political and per
sonal friends, and the act is de.
nounced as sharp if not un.
scrupulous movement, in view
of the fact that Mr.. Kempf was
regularly declared the nominee
two years ago, and that there
was no open opposition to his
denomination at the last conven-
, ton held by the La Folletteites.
That Mr.. Kempf will not re
sign either as state treasurer OF
from his position on the La Fol
lette ticket is certain. He viii

other purpose than vindicatine

The editorial attack in the

THE INDIAN PROBLEM

-
Senator Stewart. chairman Of tbs
committee on Indian affairs. 10 3
recent interview, expressed ths
opinion that The Indians Of lhe live
tribes should * given home-seads
Of twenty acres each and be %
lowed to sell the remainder of their
land at once, the government to
make the appraisement and hold
the money in trust for the Indians
IF the Indian cannot handle mon-
ey, he cannot handle land said
he.
This IS a statesman-like and :
sensible solution 10 the Indian
problem. Il is a solution that viii
protect the Indian and accomplish
vastly more for him than the
paternal system that has been fol
lowed in dealing with the reserva
ton Indians. 1t is based on the
principle that the Indian should bs
made a self-suppoTtiug, independ-
ent citizen and not be forever PER
mifted to remain the ward Of the
government, living in state Of i'd
leness which does not inPel him t.
self-exertion.
The picturesque plea Of the H.
dian rights people that the noble
red man should be forever allowed
to roam over his broad prairies and
that the government should ex-
ercise the most scrupulous care lesi
the intruding white man acquire
possession Of his domain. is one no
based on common sense or sound
economic principles. That the
nation should guard the Interests
Of iis wards with thegreatest strict
ness Is not % bc gainsaid but thr
does not imply that the pfesent
system Of imposing restrictions up
on the sale Of lands is wise o.
lust one That Tie millions ol
acres Of fertile lands III Indian Ter
ritory Should remain uncnllivaieo
while the Indian is reaching a stat,
when he can take care Of them Is
an absurdity. Their improvement
and cultivation Is impossible undei
the present burdensome method
of lease and sale. The IndIai
doesn't want the land and cant
use it. Why should he be compel
ed to keep it, when the develop
meut Of great territory as thus re
tarded3 Or, if he be an intelligent
Indian, capable Of managing his
own affairs, why should the govern
ment manage his business for him
Remove the restrictions and sci

nish a satisfactory solution Of the
Indian problem
