said John Nilsson today. Nilsson has
not forsworn skating. He retains his
love for the sport and says that next
year he will defend his title. of world 8

Skating is pure sport with Nilsson

love. ~.
Nilsson went down to the Chicago

Jan. %. Yet, yielding to the solicita'
tons Of time promoter friends in
the skating business with a borrowed

there was to be skating l should have
gone into the skating game to win. -
Nilsson won his three races at Sar

two at Verona Lake, N. j., against
Peter Sinerudd. He won the two-mil'

BRIDGE MAY BRING A
BOOM TO NORTH SIDE

In about six weeks the bridge across
the river at Twenty second avenue N
will be opened for travel: Progress
since the iron began to arrive has been
unusually rapid. The iron work for two
of the four spans is already in place
and next week the work Of planking the
roadway will begin. This will be pushed
as rapidly as possible and will be COM
pleted almost as soon as the iron work.
The bridge is expected to become an
important highway. 1t is a mile above
the Twentieth avenue N bridge and
gives communication between two i'm
portant sections of the city which here
tofore could not reach each other ex-
cept by circuitous route. The bridge
connects Thirty-second avenue N on the
west side with Twentyffth avenue NE,
both important streets. The localities
are expected to have something Of q
boom in consequence. All the material
is already on the ground or on the way,
SO any delay is quite unlikely.

THRU A TECHNICALITY
Mrs. Turnquist Loses Claim to Proper
ty Thru Lapse of Time.


Judge John Day Smith has declared
invalid the claim of Alma W. Turn
quist and other heirs of the late John
4: Turnquist to the property decided to
Mary Dureson by Solomon Ekberg, the
poor farm resident. The title to the
property is now cleared up.
The property was owned by the Turn
quist brothers in 1886, and was decided
away by one Of them. After several
transfers the heirs Of the other brother
claimed a right to the property. They
are ruled out thru the statute Of limi-
tations which began to operate against
them when property was transferred
during the lifetime of John A. Turn
quist. If the transfer had taken place
after Mr.. Turnquist death the minor
heirs would still have had a valid claim
on the property.
This is only one of the cases in which
the widow claims she and her children
have lost thru legal technicalities, leav.
ing her practically without support.

On mileage basis, the figures are as
Minnesota VS.. Iowa.


Mr.. Apologize goes into a comparison
of Minnesota and Iowa rates, ana
makes the following comparison:

From this statement he draws the fol-
lowing conclusions:
CAT the Minnesota gross earnings
have earned $9O,1l5,200, while at the
Iowa Der mile rate, the Minnesota roads
would have earned only $43, 159 900, a
difference that cost the people Of Min.
nesota $24,9O2,25O more than it would
have cost the people Of Iowa for the
same service. It would require an ad-
dition of SO per cent to the Iowa rates
to produce the Minnesota result, or a
reduction of 80 -1-3 per cent Of the Min
nesota rates to produce the Iowa re-
suit.
The paper takes up and explains the
situation. with regard to demurrage, re.
features of the problem, and finds that
the railroads have for years helped to
build up the trusts by many forms OF
special concessions. Mr.. Apologize
goes on record in favor Of a distance
tariff, and urges a cooperation or al
forces to secure relief from congress
and from the state Legislatures.

J; G. Apologize, editor Of the Cannon

schedules, and only by comparing rates
today with rates ten years ago, and
rates in different countries and sections,
can anything of value be determined. :
Rates on the whole have advanced,
says Mr.. Applegate,. and nearly all re-
auctions made have been made SO as to
give the railroads the long haul, instead
of the short haul incidental to local sup
ply. Rates have been advanced by
changing classifcations, and in 1904, the
ton rate was 1914 cents higher than in
1899, eHecting an increase in revenue OF
$155,4475,0oo.. Another way is by in

is impossible to get the required weight

Mr.. Hill says rates are lower in Amer,

plegate, to. explain that in the United
States the railroads have cost less than
100000 mile, including equipment
while the minimum cost Of European
| roads is $4,000 a mile, one system OF
403 miles costing $3.50 900 a mile. The

and 9.5 per cent of the fields: The
manufactured products comprise but
