years. He had examined the defendant
and found her head out of proportion
and her, general conditions physically

When asked an hypothetical question,
on which to base his opinion of the
girl s sanity from Nav % to Nav %,
his answer was that he had formed an
opinion and that the child was insane.
He was asked: -.. -.-s
"When in your opinion did she re-
ceive the shock which unbalanced her
mind?'

ness of her lover from Mrs. Nern Smith
and his subsequent acts as shown by the

NORTHERN WATERS
HELD NAqlGABLE
War Department Rules Against
the Minnesota Canal and
/. = =. Power Company.
Special to The Journal.


Duluth, Mimi, July 1.-The war de-
partment has ruled adversely upon the
contention of the Minnesota Canal and
Power company, of this city, that the
waters of Birch Lake and connecting
streams flowing toward the boundary
and the upper waters Of the St. Louis
river in this county are not navigable.
The matter is one Of much interest to
lumber and other interests here and at
Minneapolis and at international Falls.
At the hearing here in March before
Major Potter Of Duluth and Major Der
by of St. Paul several interests were
represented and filed protests against
the plans Of the canal and power COM
pany.
The contention of the power company
is that the waters are not navigable
and hence could. be employed by the
canal company and diverted without re-
quiring the permission of the govern
ment or its approval Of the plans.
The department views it differently
and asserts that the waters are naviga-
BILE and that while the company may
build dams and proceed with it's i'm
provements it must be with the permits
sion of the government and under the
approval Of it's engineers. ,. n e 81

for the weighing Of mails: On the re-
suit of these weighings the govern
ment will enter into contracts with the
railroads for the transportation of mail
matter: These contracts involve the
expenditure of many millions Of dol

tached to the transactions. The gov

Der Of pounds Of mail carried, but the
pay is based on: an average as
certained by weighing mails for a
period of thirty days. The time of
weighing is supposed to be profound
secret, but as the period extends for
thirty days, there sample opportunity
for railroads to see that during. weigh
ing period the mails are padded by
heavy material. which increases the

TEN PER CENT FOR STATE

George F., Wright, superintendent Of

ton Of the state the past five years
will be shownt TO beFin excess of 10 per
cent. #:,,# HI; .$;$, b, r. e,ses
rIt$is up to the central, eastern and
northern portion Of the state to make
good the slump in the rest Of the
state he said this morning. Out Of
210 southern Minnesota townships, only
thirtysix show a gain, and their per
cent of gain is very low. All the 9th
ers show a falling off in population.
I'll . estimate that the seventeen
northern Minnesota counties should
show a. gain Of $4,000. Seven in the
Red River valley I figure good for a
gain Of $1,000 Seventeen central and
western counties will show gain Of
$4,000. These, with other counties not
completed, / believe will show an ag-
gregate increase of 100000. I count
on the three large cities having in
creased $4,000. This would make the
total increase s175,0O0, gain Of 10 per
cent on the census Of five years ago.

after killing the animals. throw the

such places is made foul and is
bound to affect the meat stored in
the same room. Several other dealers
have told me that they are willing to
obey the new restrictions providing
the law is generally enforced. Some
markets always have favored the law
requiring animals to be slaughtered
outside of the city limits.
