IVERSON SELLS LAND
State Auditor Dlsposes of Min.
eraI Lands.

Seventeen mineral leases for tracts
of land varying from forty to 100
acres in extent, were sold yesterday
by State Auditor Iverson. The prices
received ranged from $25, for which
the majority Of the leases were sold,
to SAL, which was reached after some
brisk bidding. With the exception Of
three others, which sold for $26, SGT
and $50, the remainder were sold for
$25.
The bidders were mostly from Du-
luth and the Mesaba range. Most of
the leases went to the first bidder
without contest, though some rivalry
developed when the valuable piece Of
property near the Mountain Iron
mine, in the Mesaba range, described
as section 10, range IS, township 10.
1t was finally sold to ]. NJ Gray, Of
Duluth, for $141.
Harris Richardson, a st. Paul at
torney, who attempted to bid without
having previously filed an application,
made a written protest to State Au-
ditor Iverson, contending that the sale
was public and that he should have
been given a right to enter the COM
petition. The protest, however, was
ignored, Auditor Iverson stating that
the law required applicants to file bids
before the sale.

PASSENGER RATE
WAR is BREWING
Secret Tariff Cutting Causes
Trouble Between Chicago
St. Paul Lines.

A passenger rate war between the ST.
Paul-Chicago lines is likely to break out
at any time.
East bound rates are demoralized, pas
senger men say, and a general slashing of
tariffs is about to occur. 1t is predicted
that before many weeks pass the So rate
which was in force last summer will again
be applied to Chicago business.
Three lines are openly accused of vio-
lating the rate agreement. The passenger
officials of the other lines say that the
three roads will take Chicago business at
any old figure, just to get the passenger.
One story being told is that prospec-
tive traveller met a passenger official of
one Of the lines on the street a few days
The man asked the railroad agent If he
could get half-fare ticket to Chicago for
himself and his daughter.
Sure the agent is said to have re-
piled. Come into the Office this after
noon and I'll fix you OUT
He then babe good day to the pros
pective customer, and turning to his COM
panion, said, II wish 1 could sell 100
tickets at that rate, for half fare is pretty
close to our regular tariff. Business, you
know, is awfully dull and we must make
a showing"
Situation Is DemoraIlzed.
According to the railroad man who told
the story the little incident or the half-
fare ticket portrays clearly the rate situa-
ton. Business has been dull since the first
Of the year, and some of the lines, it is
said, have tried to create traffic by cut
ting the regular tariffs.
But 1t is claimed that others than the
weak Chicago-St. Paul lines are indulging
in the rate slashing. One lines Chicago
business is said to have increased more
than Is per cent within the past sixty
days, and its competitors say that cut
rates are responsible for the heavy in
crease.
THE rate situation is demoralized,' -
said the agent Of one Of the strong lines
yesterday. "A break is bound to come
within few weeks, for we can stand the
rate cutting no longer. The situation now
is far worse than it was year ago, when
the IS rate was inaugurated.
Unless there is an agreement reached
between the lines before long there will
be a rate war far more bitter than the
one q year ago. I would not be surpris-
ed to see the IS rate put in force any
day.
THE weak lines are not the only Of
tenders. One of the strong roads has been
taking Chicago business at any figure,
just to fill its trains with passengers.
Some of the tickets have been sold at
less than half fare.

RHINEHART RLAMEs BROWN.
Says Former Clerk Had EntIrs Charge of
Poor Department Accounts.

According to OrviIle Rhinehart, a mem
Der of the board of charities and correc-
1ionS, Charles H. Brown, former clerk in

He testified that it was Brown and
not Johnson who handed the budgets to
the commissioners Brown who acted with
the auditing committee in checking up,
and that in fact Brown had entire charge
of the books and finances Of the depart

transactions
The important point now is, in view of
Browns shameless confession Of COM
pltcity in the alleged fraudulent acts,
whether or no he viii be arrested. 1t is
unbelievable to those familiar with the
history Of the case that Brown, after get
ting away so nicely, would return and tes-

officers of the interior department today,
agricultural lands which are selected by
the forestry bureau as part of Minnesota
forest reserves will remain under the jul
risdiction of the interior department until
IS per cent of the timber has been cut
