FAIRBANKS FROZEN DIGNITY.

Charles A. Edwards a bureau corre-
spondent in Washington City, in his
last letter has a write-up of the repub-
lican candidates on the national ticket.
He first has a few remarks about Mr..
Roosevelt and then turns his
attention to the chiefs running
mate. Senator Fairbanks is little
known, even by reputation, to the gen
eral public in our section, so we will let
Mr.. Edwards introduce him, which h
does in the following rather remarka-
bic style:
And what of his running mate, the
elongated sycamore of the Wabash, Mr..
Fairbanks? 1t is again in the nature
of the eternal fitness of things that a
refrigerator convention should turn out
cold things. Fairbanks is the apo
theosis Of frigidity and frozen dignity;
you can walk into his presence and then
spit on the floor and skate out; ne pos.
sesseS more dignity than a niger
preacher or a blind jackass in a snow
storm; he is the Summa Summarum
and the ultima thule of cold conserva-
tiSm; he is so conservative that if he
were a soldier he could enter a cam
paign with a thousand men in his regi-
ment and come out of it with not less
than fifteen hundred. He was never
known to give a direct and uneQuivo-
cal answer TO any question. If he and
a friend were to see a drove of freshly
sheared sheep n his friend were to
say: why, Fairbanks, these sheep
have just been sheared, haven't they?''
He would answer: They look like it,
from this side He reminds one of
the story of the father who told his
son n was going to a party to keep
his mouth shut or every one would find
out that he was a id fool. Fair
banks seldom opens his mouth except
to eat.
Fairbanks not only is cold and haugh-
ty. but he is stingy. If he has ever,
since his advent into the n of the
United States, said one thing worthy OF
remembrance or attached his name to a
single piece of legislation no man knows
it. He is a fit running mate for Teddy
the Terrible. While the former does
stunts in midair, he will sit steady and
do the marionette and automaton act
for the trusts and the combines of the
country. Truly they are a great pair.

A Great Many People Going Onto
BAYFIELD, County Lands.
THE VALUE OF SOIL is KNOWN
Farmers Who Have Tried Bayfield,
County as Farming Proposition
are Satisfied With Results
Good Inducements.

A great many people are
coming into Bayfield, county to
make their homes, and the
present season will undou btedly
be the greatest one from point
Of settlement of our lands, on re-
cord. The lands have been test
ed and it is no longer a question
as to whether they are adapted
to farming purposes, but it is
here-as in older countries,
only the problem of opening up
the land for agricultural purpos-
es. 1t takes lots of work to open
up farm, and no one knows
this better than the practical
farmer, but there is the advan-
tages here of finding lands at
cheap prices, and a soil that is
productive of merchant bic stuff.
The markets too are the best in
the entire country, and the men
who have been on the Bayfield,
county lands for the past few
years have all prospered and are
satisfied with their choice of
lands. The advantages of farm
ing here are such that the home
seeker should not hesitate where
to locate when in search of new
home. The Washburn farmers
are getting to the front and there
is no REASONABLY others cannot
do as well as the people who have
arrived within the past few
years. The real estate men have
been actively engaged in push
ing this good work for some time
and are gratified with the large
number of sales they have been
making of late.

The town of Washburn has
served papers in four suits to
bring about a settlement of pub
lie affairs. One suit is against
the city of Washburn and town
Of Eileen to force a settlement of
balances, while the other three
suits are directed against the
city, one being against Mr.. Nels
Lee, as town treasur CT, demand
ing an accounting of all moneys;
another slit is against r. A. Her
ring, and tie balance of tie city
officers, for OBTAINING town prop
erty, and the other is in relation
to all the road and highway out
fits. AS intimated in The TIMES
last week there is something
doing, ard the town of Washburn
lays claim to pretty much every
thing there is in the city. The
bank building and Carnegie lib.
rary site are among the things
claimed by the town of Wash.
burn. The whole question is
one of the original title, the town
claiming that the city has sue
ceeded and deposed the town
of Washburn, while the latter
was the proper custodian of all
town property at all times, and
is still legally entitled to, the
property and effects which the
city has kept in it's possession.
tits likely that City Attorney
Walsh will ask that all the
actions be joined in one case,
and tried by the court.

School Board Stands Pat

The SchoOl Commissioners met at
the city clerk S office Friday evening
for the purpose of taking up the
matter of protest raised against Mr..
S. A. Oscar as city superintendent
Of schools, Owing to the full board
not being present there was an ad-
jourment until Saturday evening, at
which time Mr.. Oscar appeared be-
fore the Board. There was long
executive session, at which the
members OF the board discussed
every phase of the situation, and I'M
animously agreed to stand by their
former action and absolutely settled
the matter by giving Mr.. Oscar full
power to prepare for the coming
year Of school work. There is
nothing on record to show the dis
position felt over the matter by the
board, but the members individually
do not hes tate to state that they
have regarded the opposition to the
appointment as having been princi-
pally instigated by those who have
personal motives. 1t is understood
that the seventeen school teachers
who entered their protest will not
be hired another y ear. Opinions as
to whether any should be retained
differ somewhat, but to THE TIMES
it would seem that the young ladies
should not be too severely punished,
and undoubtedly some of them
could be retained without deriment
to the schools or humiliation to
themselves. Tie action of the
board in disposing of the superin-
tendency as they did, was the only
logical thing for them to do, and
their course meets with general ap
prevail.

DietZ Has No Title

Chippewa Falls, Wis, May 3d.
L. ). Common, attorney for the
Chippewa Lumber and Boom
company, has issued statement
explaining the situation in regard
to the Thornapple river trouble
which has eliminated in the
wounding of two men by John
Dietz, who has set at naught a
court Injunction and reduced
Sawyer county to state border
ing on anarchy.
Dietz, says Mr.. Common, has
no shadow of legal or moral claim
to the dam he is now holding from
the company at the point of
winchesters. In 1901 the dam
and rights to flow all lands now
claimed by Dietz, were pur-
chased by the Chippewa Lum Der
and Boom company. Since 1877,
to March of this year, the dam
has been in possession of the
rightful owners and maintained
and operated by them. In Feb
ruary, 1904, my client expended
$500 for repairs on the dam with
out any protest or claim of title
by Dietz. In 1899 Dietz purchas-
ed two forties of land lying along
the Thornapple river at and
about the location of the dam.
The rights to the dam and flow
age were not included in the
deed. Neither has Dietz any
claim against the company for
damages caused by flowing this
land, the right to flow having
been decided by the owners of
the land nearly twenty-seven
years ago to the persons from
whom the company purchased it.
Dietz has therefore no valid claim
against the company and has
simply trumped upa claim for
the purpose Of holding up the
company.
In March Dietz informed the
company that it could not use
the dam except on payment OF
10 cents thousand for the logs
driven through it, and also pay
ment for all damages which he
claimed for flowing the lands, in
all aggregating somewhere be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000. When
the company's driving crew UNI
dertook to use the dam they
found Dietz in possession of it,
armed with a rife and threaten
ing to shoot anyone who under
took to go uponthe dam or make
use of it. The members of Dietz,,.
family joined him in holding
forcible possession of it, and the
driving crew could not make use
of the dam.
The company then applied for
and was granted an injunctional
order from the court. This
order was duly served by the
sheriff of Sawyer county and
Dietz declared to the sheriff that
he would not obey it even if
President Roosevelt signed it
and to show his contempt for
the order he went upon the dam
and put up splash boards used
to raise a head of water. The
court was informed of Dietz'
action, and an order for his ar
rest issued. When the deputy
sheriff attempted to serve the
warrant Dietz informed him
that he would never be taken
alive, and that he would shoot
any one attempting to capture
him.
[ surmise that in the end law
and order will prevail, and that
Dietz will be made to answer for
his lawlessness.
