Poor House OverCrOwded.

Reports from the board of poor
commissioners are that the county
poor house at Duluth is now in a
more crowded condition than it has
been for many years, the roster
showing sixty-fve names. Unless
something is done to relieve the
congestion arrangements will have
to be made for the temporary care
of any additional county wards who
may apply for relief. The prolong-
ed and unusually cold spell is held
as the direct cause of the large
number applying for assistance, the
slack labor market also being a
contributory cause.

HE HucStlO1l lids Dccu ASKED In
sneering manner by several fire.
quently of late, "who pays for the
presidents trip?" William Allen
White has answered the question as
follows:
1T is a stocky big man with a
ratty mustache, a font of double
plea teeth, and jaw set with a
Yale time lock; man rather below
medium height, inclined to be
pussy, with voice that needs a
machinist, and a vocabulary that
needs compositor-man named
Roosevelt. Roosevelt, to be &C.
curate. He is the first president
of the United States in recent years
who has refused all courtesies from
the railroads and pays his way, and
by the same token he is the first
president in recent years. whom
the railroads are going to fight"
STATE AUDITOR IvERsoN has sent
to Congressman Bede protest
against the passage OF his bill pro-
viding that hereafter in all swamp
land contests the field notes of the
United States surveyors shall be
considered prima facie, not abso-
lutte, evidence of the character of the
land. Mr.. Iverson contends that
the bill if it becomes a law will be
detrimental to the interests of Min
nesota by opening the way for in
Vulnerable contests between private
parties and the state for the possess
sion of land claimed by the state
under the swamp land grant of 1860.
Under ruling by Secretary Hitch
cock year or more ago the field
notes of the surveyors are absolute
evidence of the character of the
land, but in many instances the
state thus holds lands that are not
"swamp," and the filing and win
ming of contests would open to pri-
vate parties many tracts that are
now wrongfully held under irregu-
lar field notes. Congressman Bede's
bill should become law.

IN CONFERENCE.
Series Of Political Meetings
at White House.
Roosevelt's Name Will Be Presented
by Maine Native.
Honors for Former Governor Elack of
New York.

Washington, May SIT was an
nounced at the White House. today.
that Former Gov. Frank S. Black of
New York would make the principal
speech in nomination of President
Roosevelt at the Chicago convention.
He will be followed by several dele
gates with seconding speeches, one of
which will be delivered by Harry Still
man Edwards. the well-known author
and writer of Macon, Ga.
Concrete results Of the series Of DO
litical conferences held at the White
House during the past week have not
been reached on several OF the impor-
tant topics under discussion. 1t was
said. today, by authority that the con-
ferences are only the beginning of
many that will be held before the Chi
cago convention. The expectation IL
that n decision regarding the chairman
ship of the republican national COM
mittee will be reported before the con-
vention assemblies. but that it has not
been reached yet, is asserted positive
ly.
The President had adhered to his de-
termination announced months ago not
to permit himself to be drawn into any
contest that might arise over the nOmi
nation Of candidate for the vice-pres-
idency. He is Interested in the matter,
but he believes that it ought to be de-
termined by the party leaders in the
convention without suggestion from
him. He has no apprehension that
candidate representing the best senti-
ment of the party will not be chosen.
Among those who have participated
in the recent conferences. Speaker Can
mons uneGuivocnl statement regarding
the boom started for him is accepted
as eliminating him from practical con-
sideration for the presidential
nomna ton. In the view Of those well
Informed on political conditions it is
deemed likely that public sentiment
will crystalline in the next few weeks
on the vice-presidency and that the
nomination for that office will be made
With practically unanimity.

PlScATAouIs ENFORCEMENT.
1t Is the Real Thing and Wins Praise
for the Officials.

Dover, Me, May 5-(SpeciaD-
piscataquis county residents are loud
IN their praise OF County Attorney
Martin L. Durgin of Milo for his recent
strenuous work IN suppressing the
liquor traffic in this county. One of the
reasons for the praise of the people is
because the greater majority of them
are in favor OF the prohibitory law and
of having that law enforced to the let
ter. Another reason, is that Mr.. Dur
gin has taken rather a bold stand con-
sidering the fact that he is q candidate
for reelection to the office of county
attorney and that the Republican
county convention is not a great ways
off.
For many years this county has stood
out strong for strict enforcement not
alone because of the prohibitory law
but because the greater part of the
prominent citizens favor such "a stand
III short, the county has a sort of a
prohibitory law of its own and as far
as possible it has been enforced, per-
hapS less at GreenVil lille than at any
other point because Greenville is the
hardest place in which to stop the sale
of liquor on account of the great many
lumbermen who come and go through
that place. A well known Dover man
said on Wednesday morning that there
was no doubt at all but that dozens of
men who work in the woods up back Of
the lake never get down this side of
Greenville from one years end to the
other. He gave as reason the fact
| bot loco hoe 1lyx-s hoo
sold at that point and the men who
have been selling it are of class. who
vixen they get man drunk keep him
so until all Of his money is gone and ha
is obliged to go back into the woods to
earn more. Many of these men have
anywhere from $15 to 5000 when they
come out of the woods. therefore they
are looked right after by the rum-sell-
ing element.
One of the hotels at this place where
without a doubt barrels upon barrels
has been sold is equipped with secret
place for the disposing Of the booze but
thus far none of the officers has been
able 10 locate it. There is no bar
room which can be seen and tine and
again the deputies have searched the
house but have found nothing which
could be used against the proprietor.
1t is said that upon several occasions
the proprietor has made his boasts
that he had a way of selling that the
Piscataquis county officers could not
figure out if they worked a weel, at it.
and they haven't. 1t now looks as if
several of the old offenders would get a
long term behind the bars when the
September term Of the Supreme court
sets next fall.
