JOSEPH 4. WHEEIOCK DEAD.

Joseph A. Wheelock, the veteran
editor of the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
died at his home in that city yesterday
morning. Mr.. Wheelock has not en-
joyed the best of health for several
years past and spent his winters in
California. He had just returned from
the Pacific slope on Monday, when
he was taken i'll. Death was due to a
general breaking down of the system
resulting from old age.
Mr.. Wheelock was born in Nova
Scotia Feb. 8, 1881, hence he was over
IS years old at the time of his death.
He came to Minnesota in 1850. He be-
came identified with newspapers in
1856. He was vigorous and brilliant
writer and gave the Pioneer Press a
national reputation. With the excep-
ton of j. j. Hill probably no other
man has contributed more towards
the upbuilding of St. Paul, Minnesota
and the northwest than Joseph A.
Wheelock. When occasion required it

Maxwell Properly Called Down.

It will pay those who are inclined
TO place confidence in the good faith

busylng themselves in northern Min
nesota affairs, to follow their public
utterances carefully, and see for them
selves that their only interest in drain.
age is to get it where it can be
squelched any time it seems likely to
Interfere with the irrigation scheme.
Maxwell's Talisman is the chief ex-
ponent OF the propaganda that is busy
trying to fasten forest reserves upon
northern Minnesota and to get the
drainage movement switched off upon
a sidetrack. The legitimate irriga-
tlon movement, with which no sensible
person could have any quarrel, is air
right, and is accomplishing good re-
suits. But sheltered under it's wing
are the people who appear to be try
ing to get all the public land possible
tied up beyond the reach of settlers,
and their efforts are especially
directed against northern Minnesota.
In recent issue of the Talisman
there is denial by it's editor that he
has slandered northern Minnesota. in
which he rather reluctantly admits
that there is some good farming land
there. In another part of the same
paper are these words, a part of an
article directed against the drainage
movement:
The area around the headwaters of
the Mississippi in Minnesota, to the
extent of about 10000, 900 of acres or
more, includes so many lakes, so many
little streams, so many muskeg and
other kinds of swamps, and so much
misunderstanding forest land, that it
is fifty described as an immense
sponge. It absorbs the rainfall
month after month-tons upon tons,
millions of tons-and slowly parts
with it to supply the current of the
great river. There is but little land
that is not better adapted to forestry
1udu 10 dnyInlng else.
If this isn't SANDER and deliberate
misrepresentation it is hard to tell
what it is. It means that in the i'm
mense area of 100000 acres about
the headwaters of the Mississippi
river there is 'but little land not bet
ter adapted to forestry than to any
thing else. - That means that it is
not fit for agriculture, for nothing fit
for agriculture is ''better adapted for
forestry than for any other purpose.'
And hundreds of prosperous settlers
in that section, and thousands who
would like to get in there if the
swamps were drained and public lands
thrown open, will testify that the
Talisman's statement is absolutely
untrue. =:
The fellows that write this sort of
stuff are the fellows in power in the
reclamation service, " to which they
are asking this drainage movement to
be committed. If they succeed there
will be precious little drainage. They
are not going to drain this "sponge"
from which they hope to draw water to
irrigate lands thousand miles away.
They want to get control so as to head
off drainage and to shut out settle
ment by plastering the north country
with forest reserves.-Duluth Herald.

MAKES MANY SURVEYS.
North Coast Huns Number of Lines
Through Granger.

GRANGER, Aug. 24.-Consulting
Engineer Bienenfeldt. of the North
Coast railway, was in town yesterday.
with Chief Engineer Pitman. Three
lines have been run through Granger
in an endeaver to secure an acceptable
crossing over the Northern Pacific
tracks. One survey is about 125 feet
west of the Northern Pacific depot,
on a grade crossing, and is only few
feet from the line run last winter. The
third line is Immediately east of the
depot. with an overhead crossing.
Which one of the last two surveyed
will be used depends upon the arrange
ments made with the Northern Pa
cific. The secretary of the Granger
Townsite company was approached
about the right-of-way through the
town and the closing of several streets
which would enable the North Coast
to make a dirt fill, instead Of building
long trestle. Various changes in the
warehouse grounds were suggested,
and upon being told tAat the town
was ready to accommodate the COM
pany when they were prepared to
commence work, Mr.. Bienenfeldt re.
marked that would be very soon.

town all week, and will remain some
time. the proposition OF rounding

STEEL RAILWAY COACHES.

The desire of railway managers to
make their passenger cars freproof
and indestructible has led several COM
panies to test the practibility OF an
'all-steel" car. The Pennsylvania rail-
road has just completed at its shops
In Altoona a sample steel coach which
resembles in general outline the stand
ard wooden coach, but weighs nearly
ten tons more, or 103,0 900 pounds, as
compared with $4,000 pounds for the
present standard coach of the same
size.
The principal feature of the new
cars underframe is central box Cir
der twenty-four inches wide and nine
teen inches deep, extending through
out the length of the car. The entire
side of the car is made of steel plates
and extra strength is provided for the
door and vestibue posts. which are
heavy rolled steel beams. The floor
Ing consists of corrugated steel plates,
which is covered with cement, thus
providing floor that Is not only fire.
proof. but also assists in deadening
the noise of the rails The doors are
of steel plates, pressed to initiate the
wooden doors of other cars. and filled
with cork to deaden the sound. The
roof is composed OF composite boards
covered with copper sheeting. and the
inside of the car is lined with COM
posite boards covered with fireproot
paint. The seat frames and foot rests
are of steel. The seats are uphol-
stored with fireproof plush. The arm
rests are of wood but experiments
are being made to find a non-combust-
ible material not cold to the touch.
The use of the composition board
lining for the roof and sides of car
designed to be fireproof and inde-
structible points to the difficulty OF
finding material for inside finish which
will be fireproof and at the same time
not conduct heat or sound. A car
made of nothing but steel would be
| impracticable. because its interior
would be a furnace on a hot day and
its noises would also be uncomfortable.
The company is trying out this new
car on one of its regular runs and OBJ
serving with care the atmospheric re-
suits. The temperature of the interior
of the steel car is found not to differ
greatly from that of the ordinary
wooden coach. but the steel car shows
tendency to cool of more rapidly
than the wooden car. The Pennsyl-
vania is understood to intend build
| ing a large number of such cars for
use when the New York tunnels un-
der the North and East rivers are
completed. and it has also asked the
Pullman company to make designs for
steel sleeping cars to be used on the
| Pennsylvania lines.
