What Do They Think Now.

Some time ago the legislature ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
into the charges made by Examiner
Johnson and others against r. c..
Dunn, ex-State auditor and Mr..
1verson, our present State auditor.
1t needed no formal report of the
legislative committee to convince
those Minnesotans who intellgently
followed Robert G. Dunn's official
course as auditor of the State of Min
nesoa, that his conduct of that Office
during his long incumbency was char
acterized by ability, honesty and a
high regard for the best interests OF
the State. The inquiry just concluded
has only served to strengthen their
good opinion. -Pipestone Review.

Paul Jones' Grave.

j. n. Wheelock, editor of the Pho
neer Press, who is at present in Red
lands, CAL, in a communication to
his paper says that a Mrs. Preston,
an aged resident of Redlands, but a
native of Dumfries, Scotland, declares
that the grave Of John Paul Jones for
which Ambassador Porter has been
searching in the old cemeteries of
Paris is really located at Dumfries,
Scotland. When Mrs. Preston read
of the quest of Ambassador Porter
she Immediately wrote to him to tell
him where the grave of John Paul
Jones was. She we'll remembers It for
it is marked with stone which bears
the sinister inscription "John Paul
Jones, the Black Pirate.''
Her story is that his mother caused
his remains to be transported from
Paris and buried among the graves OF
his kindred in his native village. Be-
cause John Paul Jones had not even
spared his native village during his
raids on the coast towns of the British
isles, the villagers vented their wrath
on his memory by inscribing the awe
some epithet of 1.-The Black Pirate''
on his tombstone.

Blaine Farmer Loses House.

The residence of Pat Lyons in town
of Blaine was totally DESTROYED by
fire Tuesday afternoon. Only small
portion of the contents was saved.
The fire was first discovered by the
rural mail carrier who saw smoke is
suing from the roof near the chimney.
Mr.. Lyons attention was quickly
called. but by that time the flames had
gained such Roadway as to be beyond
control and in short time the entire
structure was in ashes. A school
teacher stopping at the place sustained
loss of $50 in money and property.
Mr.. Lyons estimates his loss at be-
tween 5000 and $1,000 with an insur-
ance of $350.-AnOka Free Press.

The report was taken up by the
house on Friday (April 7th), but we
will let the Pioneer Press tell the
story:
"By an almost unanimous viva
voce vote, the house yesterday,
(April 7th) adopted the report of the
public accounts and expenditures CON-
mittee commencing the management
of the State timber and mineral lands
by State Auditors r. C. Dunn and
S. G.. Iverson.
1.-THE committee made a thorough
investigation of the question and con-
sidered in detail number of the trans
actions criticised by Former Public
Examiner S. T. johnson during the
recent State campaign and circulated
widely for political purposes. The re-
port, signed by twelve of the fifteen
members of the committee, holds that
the State did not lose dollar by any
of the acts criticised and the State
was materially benefited by the acts
of both Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Iverson.
Representative P. E. Bowling,
chairman of the committee, moved the
adoption of the committees report.
Representative M. S. Carl of
Clara City, one of the signers of the
minority report, made substitute
motion for the adoption of the minor
ity report. Representative r. H..
Jefferson of Bingham Lake spoke in
behalf Of. the minority report.
"There was no other discussion.
and Representative Carl's motion was
laid on the table on motion of Repre-
sentative w. A. Nolan by an over
whelming vote.
Representative Dowling's motion
for the adoption of the committees re-
port was then carried by an almost
unanimous viva voce vote, only two
or three negative votes being heard.
''The minority report was indefi-
nitely postponed without opposition. 4"

were not exacted or enforced in all
cases, but there is no evidence to show
that the States interests were affected
detrimentally thereby.
The evidence given before your COM
mittee by former public examiner, Mr..
S. T. Johnson, was to the effect that
he undertook the examination of the
State auditors Office under what he
construed to be the instruction of the
legislature of 1908, and in the belief
that it was his duty to do so under the
general authority of his department..
TO examine such large and COM
plicated department as that of the
State auditor, the work and ramifca-
tions of which include all departments
OF State government, was stipend
Gus undertaking, for it, was attempted
to reach the almost countless transac-
tions relating to lands and timber
covering period of twenty years or
more, and this is borne out by COM
munication made to your committee
by the present public examiner in
which he states that about five hun
dred and seventy eight days were de-
voted to the work of examining the
auditors Office, equal to the employ
ment of two men for almost whole
year. 1t is evident to your commit
tee that to thoroughly and intelli-
gently conduct an examination of the
State auditors Office mere expertness
in accounting is not sufficient. It is
necessary that the examiners should
have practical knowledge of the in
tricate details of the logging and lum-
bering business and a comprehensive
understanding of the law and it's bear
ings on the technical features of the
business. 1t is inevitable that in such
an examination mistakes and misun-
derstandings must attend the work of
the best intentioned person who pos
sesses only limited experience along
the special lines of business involved.
An expert accountant may enter into
and satisfactorily examine any bank
and ascertain it's conditions from the
records, but the methods applicable
to bank examinations are inadequate
for an examination of the State audi
tors Office. Your committee has not
found that the examination of the
State auditors Office was conducted
by persons possessing knowledge of
the numbering and land business, nor
has it been shown that the examiner
asked or sought for any explanation
or information from the State auditor
or the employees of that Office which
might have made clear some of the
things otherwise inexplicable to an
inexperienced person and which might
have prevented the making of some
mistakes or MISUNDERSTANDING.
Your committee by means of it's in
vestigation, has arrived at the conclu-
sion that the State auditor should be
furnished with increased means to
protect the States timber land and
prevent depredations which, with the
rapid advance of settlement into the
timbered regions, is becomming
more difficult task every year. The
rapid reduction of the timbered area
has brought about comparative
scarcity and during the past five or
six years the lumbermen are cutting
not merely pine, but also tamarack,
spruce, cedar, balsam and other va
rieties. The prices of lumber have
rapidly risen and with these condi-
tions make closer protection of the
States timber very essential.
