IVERSON GETS Big
MONEY FOR LOGS
State Auditor Receivers PraC.
tlcaiiy $40 Per Thousand
on Timber Seized.

State Auditor S. G. Iverson has re-
covered practically $40 per thousand
for logs cut by J. C. Patterson, of Ait
KIN county, on school section in that
county
Patterson is also under Indictment
by an Aitkin county grand jury and will
nave to answer a criminal charge in
the courts.
The logs We're seized by a cruiser in
the employ of the state about three
weeks ago and scaled, according to the
surveyor general, POI. $50 feet. They
were banked on lower Swan river, near
the Mississippi, but only $4,000 feet of
the logs were cut on the school section.
Inc state, however, acting under au-
tnorlty Of the law, seized the whole lot,
as they were intermingled and there
was no way of knowing definitely lust
what logs were cut from state lands.
But two bids We're received yester-
day, that Of c. w Thomas, of ST. Paul.
De1ng 70 cents per thousand higher
than the other. The Thomas bid was
SI.25 per thousand, and the amount
received by the state was $1,459.7S.
Applying the rate to the amount actu-
ally cut from the state school land the
state received practically $40 per thou
sand for its logs.
Thomas is supposed to represent the
nrm Which was financially backing J.
Z. Patterson, the logger under indiCt-
ment in Aitkin county The sale of the
logs by process of law is no estoppel
OF the criminal proceeding. Efforts
were made to settle the matter with
the state auditors Office by direct pro-
cess, but this would have constituted a
bar to the criminal action instituted.

OLD SOLDIER FOUND
Veteran Who Misrepresentation
Soldiers Home Located.

Capt. Erwin Y. Shelley, veteran of
both the Mexican and Civil wars, who has
been missing from the state soldiers
home, Minnehaha Park, since pension
day" April 16. has been located by T h e
G at AL Jackson street, where he
says he has been lodging since he left
the home at Minnehaha nearly two weeks
ago.
The veteran was located by Gl o b e
reporter late yesterday afternoon He
was lying on couch at boarding house
conducted at the number by D. P. Leslie,
and his looks indicated that he was far
from we'll man. He declared in response
to inquiries that he had come direct to
st. Paul on leaving the home and had
made no effort to hide his identity. He
denied the report that he had left the
institution because of a quarrel with the
commandant after introducing bottle of
whisky to the military reservation, and
said he had left the institution merely
to get a change Of scene for few days.
The commandments office was last night
notified by the police and the old man

STATE WILL REALIZE
Sl15,OOO ON Irvine
Prison Plant VIII Turn Out
100000 Pounds on
Present Run.

The state of Minnesota will realize a
profit of approximately $115, 900 from the
operation OF the Irvine manufacturing
plant at the Saltwater prison for the
fiscal year ending Aug. 81.
In the neighborhood of 10000, 900
pounds of binding Irvine will be manu-
featured at the plant, an increase of
about 100000 pounds over any previ-
Gus year
The plant is being run to its full ca :
pacity and there will be no reduction
in the output in the months immedi-
ately succeeding the harvest period, as
in former years.
We are now using our new power at
the Irvine plant" said j. f. Jacobson,
chairman Of the board of control, YES
terday. With the new power each
machine turns out few pounds more
OF tWine each hour than under the old
conditions, and with the installation of
some additional machinery we will
make this year about 10000 pounds
more Irvine than in any former year.
Formerly 1t was customary for the
management of the Irvine plant to prac-
tlcally close it down for the two months
following harvest, but to meet the de-
mands which We expect for the prison
twlne next year we will run the plant
at its usual capacity right through the
year. About 200 men are employed in
the factory, and after charging up to
the cost of production the labor of the
men and reasonable deduction for
wear and tear on the machinery in use
IN the plant We are able to sell the
product of the factory at from 21b to 8
cents per pound less than is charged
by the tWine trust and still make a
profit Of about 1 cent per pound. We
VIII turn into the state fund about
$115,000 this year.
The immensely of the undertaking
can be appreciated when l say that we
will do million dollars worth Of bust
ness this year and that there is in the
revolving fund about $750,000. repre-
senting the earnings of the Irvine plant.
We are all sold out, but are now filling
small belated orders for Irvine for this
seasons consumption. The prison Irvine
factory was an inspiration to those re-
SpOnsible for its existence"

WHFELMEN MAY GET
F|FTY.CENT TAGS
Commission VIII Reduce Price
If Assured Money Enough
for Repair Work.

It it is possible for the side path com
mission to reduce the price of cycle tags
from 81 to SO cents and still derive rev.
enue enough from the sale Of the tags
to keep the paths in good repair, the
reduction in the price Of tags will be
made.
This was decided upon yesterday at a
meeting of the side path commission
held in the office of President J. w. Tay-
lor, in the Globe building. The commits
sion was in session only fifteen minutes
but during that time the members decided
that if it be possible the wheelmen'S pc
tition for 50-cent tags will be granted.
However, there seems to be little like
lihOOd of the reduction being made, for
the Commission contends that the revenue
to be derived from the sale of tags at
so cents will not be sufficient to keep up
the side paths.
Another meeting of the commission
will be held today, at which some def
mite action will be taken.
I'VE want to reduce the price Of tags
if it be possible to do So" said w. H. S.
Wright, a member Of the commission. at
the conclusion of yesterdays session.
1T is the intention of the commission to
grant the wheelmens request for 5O-cent
tags If they can demonstrate to us that
sufficient revenue can be had to keep the
paths in repair from the sale of tags at
that figure"
