Dunn became state auditor, so that it
was impossible to trace or make re-
sale.

Sec. 24-59-2O Sold in 1891 on an esti-
mate of 1900 feet at 81 per thousand

again on an estimate of 10000 a 500
per thousand, and 21S,2oO feet reported
cut in 1904. for which S1.156.I2 was paid.
In 1908 Cruiser Dedon estimated and an
praised this section, saying: cut around,
not burned" That meant that timber
on adjoining land had been cut around
this section.

Sec. 3e56-21 Sold in 1890. estimated at

feet was reported. and S3.451 % has been
paid. The cruiser in 1890, five years be-
fore Mr.. Dunn became state auditor. no
doubt underestimate the amount of tim
Der, but as has been stated, many of the
old estimates are unreliable.
Sec. 12-44-21. Sold in 1891 and expired
came state auditor. AS this section was
badly burned in 1895. no timber of value
was left and no trace of old cuttings
could be made or scaled up
Sec. 14-43-22 Sold in 1890 on an esti-
mate of 100000 feet at 81 per thousand
No cutting reported under this sale. Sold
again in 1898 on an estimate of 100000
feet at $1.75 per thousand, and SO6.1lO
feet reported and paid for. Any cutting
made eight years before the examination
reported had been outlawed two years and
was therefore uncollectible.
Why sold Cuttings" Was Reported.
Sec 34-5O-22 Sold in 1891 and again in
1898 on an estimate of $4,000 at $125 per
thousand. No cutting recorded under
these sales. In 1896 a treSpass of 10000
feet was collected for and in 1897 the
pine. estimated at 10000. was sold at
county sale for $115 cash. In 1902 the
remaining timber was again sold at coun-
ty sale for 1886 cash. 1t was therefore
proper for the cruiser to have found ''old
cuttings when the land was examined in
1902.
Sec. 16-53-22. Estimated at $4,000 feet
and sold in 1891. Permit expired in 1893,
two years before Mr.. Dunn became state
auditor. The timber on the land was
sold in 1901 at county sale at $3.50. Dedon
reports cutting made six years ago. The
statute of limitations had run on this
even if it could have been traced.
Sec S-56-22 This tract was sold to four
different parties. in 1889, 1891, 1892 and

Dedon as cut in 1891 could not raced

old.
Sec. &c. 1923. The last cutting reported
was in 1893. Cruiser Henry Dusey re-
ported this section burned over and 40
600 feet left. 1t is doubtful whether this
section ever contained 100000 feet esti-
mated in 1890, as this section was chief
ly valuable as agricultural land and was
sold at agricultural land sale several

Sec. 16-50-23. There is no doubt that a
good deal of timber was cut on this sec
TO feet was reported. But at the time
Dedon examined it and reported four to
five million feet cut. it had ben cut by
three different parties. of which the last
cutting reported was in 1889, nine years
prior to the examination. 1t was not
only outlawed at the time. but impossible
to rescale or trace up.
Sec. 1S-50-23. Dedon reported that s.
600 feet was cut five years ago and that
the SectlOn was. burned over In 1871 This
5000 feet is all the indication of any. cut
ting made on this section and that there
was no valuable timber at the time of
examination. so the 10000 feet estimated
never could have been on this section.
Dedon also reports range line short,
which may account for the first estimate.
This matter dates back to 1889.
Sec. 20-53-23. If any cutting was made
on this section it was all done prior to
1895. No examination has been made
since 1891. State only owns forty acres
in this section, all swamp, and there prob
ably was no timber
Sec. 24-56-23. This was sold in 1891 no
examina ton has been made since that
time State only owns 40 acres, which is
swamp. and probably never contained any
timber.
Sec. 1868. In May, 1894 when De-
don was employed by the pine land in
vestigation committee, he reports that
100000 feet was cut three years ago.
Land was burned over hard in 1893.
Everything killed, including all hard
wood. No pine left He did not succeed
in tracing the. cutting to any one. and
it was dropped as uncollectible f z lack

AS TO MINERAL LEASES.
Former Employees of the Auditors
Office Do Not Own the Evans Lease

Attorney wilson's statement:
Notwithstanding the assertions OF
Public Examiner Johnson In ms report,
published recently, no fraud as implied
could have been committed against the
state in the Mabel Evans case.
Such is the statement made by Attor.

for Miss Evans and in behalf OF the
state before tho secretary OF the inferior.

taken, and any one who so desired could

George a. Films Statement.
I'm regard to the mineral lease issued
to Mabel Evans, she is and mas Deeh
the sole owner thereof, as Mr.. G. s. VIII
son, her attorney states.
Il did not secure any state mining con-
tracts while employed in the state audi

"Of the eleven mineral contracts men
toned by the public examiner, three are
not in existence, four l never have had
any interest in, and the interest / ae-
quired in the others was secured two
and a half months after left the state
land office and was merely fractional,
and other persons are the main owners. /
Animus of Report.
1.-The animus of the report made by
the public examiner on this matter may
be judged by the following facts:
First, that it is commonly known that.
I have supported the Hon. r. C. Dunn
in his candidacy for governor, and have
worked actively to promote his interests;
second, that alI agent or representative
of the parties who contested the states
claim TO the tract of swamp land ina
question during the pre-. convention cam
paign for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination sought me out in st. Paul
and stated that unless the lessee divided
the states lease with the contestants.
that he would make it hot for r. c..
Dunn; third, the same individual has on
one or two more occasions used abusive
and threatening language to the state
auditor. S. G. 1verson, intended to deter
him from prosecuting the states claim,
and in upholding the Evans lease; fourth
other individuals, prominent in political
circles In the state during the said po-
litical campaign, urged me to secure for
the contestants division of the Evans
lease on the ground that it would hllrt
r. G. Dunn not 70 do SO. The publica-
ton of the state examiners report
coupled with these threats, are sufficient
indication of the political purpose of the
public examiners action"

England in 1903 probably spent just over

Diamonds are costlier than they were

but the price obtained in 1883 was

sence would bring Maurice to realiZa-
ton Of the pleasure he took in her socie-
ty, in talking to her and cuItivating her
voice. II all their discussions on diff
ferent subjects they experienced mutual
interest, but their discussions had never
touched upon personal topics, nor had
he sought to interest her in himself.
She had come to his studio that morn
ing to bid him adieu, vaguely hoping
that something-she knew not what
might happen; nothing did, and she half
expected to see him at board ship, but
she found box of flowers and polite
little note wishing her bon voyage.
She enjoyed life in Paris to the full,
but was quite ready to return home at
the end of the year which was the pro-
posed expiration of their trip. ~ the
others in their party wished to continue
their travels, another year found them
still abroad.
These two years had not been idle
ones with Maurice Cr2mer. He had
finished the composition Of an opera that
had been life work with him and it had
been successfully put on the stage. The
hit was tremendous and he had now
found himself the lion of New York
drawing rooms, a position he coveted
with only one object in view.
1t was with mingled sensations that
he received a note from Christine ole
morning announcing their return and
saying that she would be at the stuhjo
at her old lesson hour, which he had
kept sacred to her memory.
At the appointed hour she entered.
AS he heard the well-rememberedk knock
and the opening of the door, he turned
and rose with outstretched hand. Her
face was slightly flushed, but the dark
eyes looked into his, searchingly, per-
haps, but with the old expression Of
frank kindness.
He stood silent, unconscious that he
still held her hand She was like and
yet so unlike the Christine Of two years
ago. A beautiful, striking- looking wo-
man with complexion of the dawn, clear
and delicate; her hair of golden hue, her
eyes deep and dark.
The first slight constraint so often
felt in the renewal of an intimacy soon
disappeared. They talked OF many
things, reviewing other days, speaking
of her travels and her coming plans. He
felt her presence leaping like wine to
his brain as they talked. FINALLY he
asked her to sing TO him.
"You can't criticise my method" she
said, turning over the scattered music
for a selection, 'for | am the victim OF
many methods. Every place we visited
