Barnes-King mine at Kendall will prob
ably be sold in a few days to New
York men for $1,200,0Oo. An option

est in the property, joined in the Civ
ing Of the original option, but it is un-
derstood that he is not very anxious to

Big Stone, S. D., Dec. 24.-Oliver
Martell pioneer Indian I hs trader ada and and
Yesterday of heart trouble, in his
eighty y-seventh year. He was born Nov:
6, 1918, in Three Rivers, Quebec, and
went to Wisconsin in 1885. Much of
the early part of his life was spent
in rafting and in trading with the Chip
pewa Indians. $500
In 1856, having accumulated little
capital, he came to Minnesota and,
a sawmill at Waterville, starting the
settlement there.
The panic of 1857 ensued, they were
unable to dispose of their lumber to
advantage, and the investment proved
disastrous. Mr.. Martell moved to the
Lower Agency in 1859 and began oper-
ating a ferry across the Minnesota
river. This was his business at the
time Of the Indian outbreak in 1862.
On that day he bravely stayed by his
ferry until women and children who
were fleeing to Fort Ridgely we're taken
across, when he started for the fort.
Martel and one La Croix took their
horses and went out on scouting ex-
pedition. About four miles from the
Of neighbors, still warm and bleeding.
They returned to the fort, where they
assisted in it's defense when it was at
tackled, on Aug. 81 and %. After the
fort was relieved by General Sibley,
Mr.. Martell went to Faribault, Mimi,
having lost everything. He remained
there until 1871, when he came to Big
Stone Lake and took a claim compris-
ing part Of the land on which Big Stone
City now stands.
In 1873 he was appointed one Of the
first board of county commissioners OF
Grant county, South Dakota, and later
was county treasurer.
In 1898, when 80 years old, he went
to Alberta, Canada, and took home
stead and since that time has spent
most Of his time there. His funeral
was held today under the rites of the
Catholic church.

U.P. DIRECTOR
HELD POSITION ON ROAD UNDER
GOVERNMENT FOR ABOUT
FOUR YEARS.
Jesss SpaIding. Prominent Capitalist
Of Chicago. Victim Of Attack Of
Report to Board Of Directors Re-
viewing Road and Its Conditions.

Chicago, March 19.-Jesse Spalding.
one Of the most prominent capitalists
of Chicago. died at his home here
Thursday after a long illness due to
stomach trouble. Nj. Spalding was
selected by President Harrison as gov
eminent director of the Union Pacific
railway.
Mr.. Spalding was a government di-
rector of the Union Pacific road during
1889, 1890. 1891 and 1892. He lived
In Chicago most of the time of his di-
rectorship and was not known person
ally In Omaha to any great extent.
He was In the city on various occa
sicns in the interest of the road.
During 1901 Mr.. Spalding made a
special report to the board of directors
Of the Union Pacific, reviewing the
road and its conditions, after he had
made a careful tour and inspection, in
which he pronounced it then one OF
the very best railroads in the country.
He suggested the making of certain
improvements, many Of which were
adopted. This report was considered
at the time as being Of considerable
interest and Importance and was one
of his most conspicuous pieces of ser.
vice for the road.
The government directors of the I'm.
ion Pacific were appointed while the
mortgage held by the government was
In effect for the purpose of looking
after the interest of the nation in the
AFFAIRS of the company. After the re,

collection of souls, and each of the in
dividual souls of which 1t Is composed
may do something to humanize 1t.
This thought vas brought out by A.
w. Green at a banquet In celebration
of the opening of the new building of
the National Biscuit company in New
York, and with such sincerity and en-
thusiasm that it should serve as an In
SEPARATION for a higher conduct OF cor
porate business than has been common
In the past.
After referring to the Developments
under which the individual had yield.
ed to the corporation. Mr.. Green. who
Is chairman of the board of directors
OF the Biscuit company and Its con-
trolling spirit. inquired: Shall the
officer of a corporation have two lives
his life as an officer Of that corpora
ton. doing nothing not forbidden by
law. steering as close to the wind as
the law will permit. or ever defying
the law? Or shall he apply the same
standards In the conduct of that cor.
poration that he applies, not merely
in his W private life. but in his re.
lation to his family and In his relation
to his God?" Then, In answering his
own questions. the speaker proceeded
Is follows:
Tho future welfare OF this country
must depend In large measure upon
the manner in which these corpora,
tons shall be conducted. and to my
mind 1t behooves every officer of a
corporation intrusted with its man
agement to SO manage its affairs that
1t shall commend itself to the public
sentiment OF the country-of all the
people of the cOuntry-to the end that
the attitude of the people toward these
corporations shall not be hostile. but
friendly. They have become the great
factors in the business life of this
republic of ours which we all love so
much. and in which free institutions
are entering into the second century
of their trial.
What these corporations shall do
and how they shall act will greatly
determine the result of this trial of
free Institutions If corporations. dur.
ing this time of trial, will march by
the side of those who desire that free
institutions shall not perish from the
earth, and who are striving to main.
tain this republic of ours in its in.
tegrity n to fulfill the purposes for
which 1t was created. then the vital
point is that the corporation must not
be separated from the individuals who
manage its affairs. And these indi.
viduals must carry into the conduct
of corporations the same rules that
they apply in their private lives" T..
If the spirit of these remarks should
become the reigning spirit of corpo.
~rations it would free us from one Of
the most serious and perplexing prob.
lens of the times.-Record-Herald

THE LAND BILL.

After a protracted struggle, the sen.
ate public lands committee has agreed
upon a bill which will probably be.
come a law. as 1t has the sanction of
the entire committee and the approval
OF the interior department.
The bill Is Identical with the one
introduced by Senator Hansbrough
early in the session. It provides in its
stead that it shall be lawful for the
secretary Of the interior % sell to the
highest bidder the right to cut and
remove timber. from unappropriated,
non-mineral. surveyed public lands,
after. proper advertisement and ap.
praisal thereof. Rights thus pur.
chased cannot be assigned, and a limit
OF time may be fixed by the secretary
In which the timber may be cut. The
money Is to be paid into the reclama.
ton fund, the same as under the tim.
Der and stone act.
1t is understood. that members Of the
committee who have been making an
enort to have the desert act and the
c~ommutation clause Of the homestead
act repealed will do nothing further
at this session of congress-, but will
endeayor to secure the passage of the
bill reported.
The bill agreed upon will cut down
the cash sales, Of lands in Wyoming
Is per cent, AID 1t. il not probable the
sales Of timber will reach any great
magnitude. In the states OF Oregon
n Washington. however. the sales
OF timber ought to be very large, and
the government. should receive more
Tor 1t than 1t has in the past received
Tor the timber and land, too.
