Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan has been forced

stock owner to complete exposure Of
theworking of the company by the legis-

but one condition, and that is one to
which the public will agree-that the
other big companies afford the commit
tee the same facilities for an examina-
ton, which are given by the Equitable.
This is perfectly proper. The New
York Life and the Mutual Of New
York have been engaged in the same
practices as the Equitable. That is to
say they have had Wall street annexes
and their officers have been engaged in
the reprehensible practice of manipulat,

not surplus at all, but liability to

Germany Needs Cash. !

The New York Times calls attention
to the fact that Germany is in desper-
ate need Of money and this need ex-
plains her new tariff policy. The col
onial exploits Of the empire have pro
duced startling deficits in the imperial
treasury. For the present year the
balance is $56,OOO,OOO the wrong way.
For 1904 the debit belance was $685.
100000. These deficits have been bal
anced either by new loans or by overs
drafts upon the imperial invalid fund,
which is an outcome of the French in
sdemnity. ".'5 =, = :. - u.
The tariff war with which Germany
has been threatening this country is
more or less stirred up by the revenue
problem. Higher duties are neces-
sity and it is conceded that in addition
to higher customs duties the Germans
will have to face internal revenue taxes,
such as a tobacco tax and an enlarged
rate on beer. H. ..57#
The kaiser has been leading the en-

expeditions and his unhappy attempts
to subdue the natives Of Damaraland

have been bowling over the kaiser

the management seems to have obtained
artists who know how to eliminate the
dry lines. ~: ~,
Surazall and Razall have an Irish COM
edy sketch In which there is some good
singing, dancing and trick piano playing.
Razall is one Of the few persons who can
bring music out of the piano, tho he is
blindfolded and his hands padded with
several pairs of mittens. With this han
dicap he plays as aturally as the ordinary
musician. The Julians, ring gymnasts
follow with dashing act that takes well,
and Irene Little and Harold BeckroW
make their usual hit in their illustrated
songs. ..-

George and Laura. Lewis, in their scare

ing some clever acrobatic dancing and

MISSES BEST TIMBER
Detroit-Bemidji Survey Goes East Of
Reservation Pine.
Special to The Journal.


Frazee, Mimi, Aug. 29.-Consider-
able commotion has been caused in
Becker county by the surveying of
much Of the land in line between De-
troit and Bemidii. Engineer Abbott
and a corps Of engineers have surveyed
the rough part of the southwestern dis
trlct Of Holmesville, and have been at
work north of Pine Point and Pons-
ford and then toward Mallard. This
meets the stub road running south from
the Fosston- Duluth line of the Great
Northern. From there the survey went
south to Rock, and then suddenly the
route is changed to directly east and
goes thru Emil Werk's place in Tama-
rae, crosses the narrows and then north
east by way of Pine and Chippewa
lakes to the outlet of Round lake on
the reservation. This takes the line
several miles east of the best section
Of pine on the reservation. and where
1T was supposed the line would touch
This puts to rest the theory that the
| line was surveyed by lumbermen to get
at the rich and big stands of pine. on
the Chippewa White Earth reservation.
The survey gives the impression that
| it is the connecting link for the line
! of the Great Northern main line and
the Fosston branch, via Pelican Rapids
and Detroit.
The line will open up rich agri-
cultural district and be adjacent to the
| timber on the reservation. Mr.. Alb

A Work Well Done.
Bemidji Daily Pioneer.

It is something Of considerable mo-
ment which w. B. Chamberlain, man
aging editor Of The Minneapolis Jour
nal, is accomplishing In his trip to the
Scandinavian peninsula. SO many sof
the people of Norway and Sweden have
come to the northwest, that the affairs
Of these two countries are Of peculiar
interest even to those Of us who are not
of Scandinavian descent, tho If we will
but go far enough back there are few
Of us that are not descended from the
sturdy Norsemen. Mr.. Chamberlain in
his special articles to T he j ourn !
is giving us a clearer insight into the
character Of the peoples of Norway and
Sweden, their political conditions, their
industrial environments and their hopes
and ambitions as kindred nations than
we have thus far been able to obtain.
This is a matter Of great Importance to
the Scandinavians Of the northwest,
many of whom were born in this coun-
try and really have but faint appre-
citation Of the conditions which confront
their kinsmen in the old country. It
is important, too, to the rest Of us who
live in a section to which Scand1na-
VANS have SO largely tlocked and where
so many thousands Of them have made
their homes and become American citi.
zens beside us. The idea of The
Journ a was an enterprising one and
its accomplishments is being made a
brilliant success.

Governor Herrick is really afraid Of Of
losing Ohio. Since Link" Steffens visit
ed the state and cast seven javelins into
the vital portions of Lord Cox, the gov
ernor has been making pathetic efforts to
segregate himself from the Cincinnati
boss. Unfortunately, he has been able to
turn only from Cox to Foraker, and this
is what Ohio people look upon as jump
ing from the frying pan into the fire.

A year ago Rusk county had one reg

OF wet season in a timbered country.
Delays caused by wet weather have
brought peremptory order from head
quarters that has caused new yigor
! among the subcontractors, an increase
| In wages and an all-round endeavor to
complete the line this fall.
The planting of the new Menasha
company pulp mill, four miles below
Ladysmith, and the prompt building
of a spur to that point by the 500, has
awakened the Omaha line, which Is
| teen miles below Ladysmith, past the
| pulp mill, where the new town of Grant
| has been planted. 1t is said that this
line is to pass thru Ladysmith,' thence
up the Flambeau river, past other and
superior water powers, finally joining
the present Omaha line in Sawyer coun-
ty. The same report has it that a
Dfanch, probably from the new town OF
Grant, will go to Bruce and over the
Atpin logging road, that extends from
that point to a distance of twenty-five
miles, and which would require only a
short piece of track to connect with
the present Omaha road at Conderay,
or Winter, in Sawyer county. This
proposition is so feasible and goes thru
such desirable territory that the report
is accepted both here and at Bruce.
500 Acquires Line. -
In the meantime the 500 line has
been reinforcing its position in this
county by securing the Chippewa River
& Northern extending northward from
Bruce, and in building the Tony &
Northeastern from Tony.
The Omaha is now entering Ingram
from the south, and in this connection
the Ingram Lumber company is build
ing logging road north from that
point. This road is being built in
such manner as to leave no room for
doubt that it is designed to be the
northern extension of the Omaha roads
that converge at Hannibal, in Taylor
county, from Chippewa Falls and Stan
ley, and continue to Ingram.

Peace.

1t is peace. The news flashed from
Portsmouth this morning is the greatest
news since Lee sheathed his sword at
Appomattox. 1t brings life and hope
to million men facing one another on
the plains of Manchuria, and it relieves
the civilized world from strain,
which was becoming well nigh intolera-'
BILE.
The conditions sof peace are not, Of
course, extended in the bulletins, but it
looks as tho the Japanese had made a
clean retraction of their demand for an
indemnity, and have satisfied them
selves with the establishment of the
poinst on which they went to war. They
get one-half Of Saghaien island, Port
Arthur and the Laio Tung peninsula, a
free hand in Korea, and the control Of
the Russo Chinese railroad, which for
mally goes to China. - ..5a.l. Il, ~
Besides Japan has obtained recogni-
ton as world power, which is worth
more to her than all her other successes
in the field or in the conference. The
Russian march has been pushed back,
and it will be a long time before she
will treat any representative from To
kio as cavalierly as she did the Japan
csc protest against her course in Man.

Diplomats may gossip over which
power got the best Of the bargain and

the dilletante, the great fact is that
the world has obtained peace and that
the red riot of war has been stayed
in its path. ID.
The honors Of the conference will un
doubtedly go to Mr.. Witte, the chief
envoy Of Russia. His has been the
dominating personality. The only
man who understands Russia, the only
man who has shown capacity for mod
ernizing her government, he is the, only
man who should be entrusted with the
grave duty Of bringing the Russian
treasury out of the shoals into which
the bad statesman s bureaucracy thrus
her. Whether the. car will see THU
and again employ NJ. Witte in the high
est station is known only to the car
but the outcome Of the conference
points to his plain duty.
The. share of the president of tn
United States in the result will be bet
ter understood as the facts Of his &C
tivity come out. At all events it was Ii
who smoothed the questions of prece
dencewith cleverness and success, and
was he who when the conference woul
