MYSTERY IN IRON
DEAL IN MINNESOTA
Pittsburg Iron Ore Company, indie
pendent of Steel Trust, Increases Cap
ital to $10,0OO.O00.

The Pittsburg Iron Ore company, in
corporated in Minnesota July IL, with
$6,OO0,O00 capital stock, has increased
its capital by 100000. An amend
ment to its original articles Of incor-
poration has been filed with the secre-
tary OF state permitting the increase
in investment, and for which amend
ment filing Tee Of $4,000 was paid.
; The Pittsburg Iron company is oper-
rated from where it's board of directors
meets. The original incorporators last
July are wv. Rhodes Of Pittsburg,
S. W. Croxton, s.. H. Holding and p.
H. Torengan, all Of Cleveland, and w.
D. McKeefrey of Teetonia, Ohio.
The corporation 8 place Of business in
Minnesota is at Hibbing, near which
city it holds iron-ore claims.
Little is known here of the compa-
ny's reasons for increasing an already
large capital, especially so soon after
the company's organization. The gen.
eral inference seems to be that it is
abiut to invest heavily in the develop
ment of its holdings Of Minnesota iron
lands. Representatives of the United
States Steel corporation, commonly
known as the steel trust,o assert they
have no connection with the Pittsburg
company and that none Of its incorpo-
rators or officers is connected with the
United States corporation.

STATE OFFICIALS MUST

Can state official, who has resided
several years in the twin cities while
conducting his official business and
away from his original place of resi-

cation as his home and place to votes
The question has been raised in re-

says the law is so clear on the point
that he thinks it almost unnecessary to
write an opinion for any thinking per-

Nh. Young today, ssthat state official
who comes to the twin cities to hold
a state office, has perfect right to
hold his former place Of residence
legally as his home and place to vote.
The law is plain. The fact that an
official may pay his personal tax on
his furniture in st. Paul does not make
him a legal resident of st. Paul. This
simply carries out the law in regard
to where such tax must be paid. 1t
would be impossible, legally, to per-

PARK BOARD TO FIGHT
FOR MINNEHAHA TRACT
Plot Of Ground in Lincoln's Addition
Is Needed in General Scheme of Ex-
pansion.

There may be fall-out between the
city council and the park board over
the disposal Of the "park" in George
Lincoln's addition at Minnehaha. The
persons who plated the addition now
want it back because no improvements
have been made for sixteen years, and
motion vacating the plat Of the park
has been introduced in the city council.
The, park board intends to oppose
any plan to vacate the park. It is true
that nothing has been done in the way
of improvement, but this is due prin-
cipally to the fact that the tract was
isolated and the region so cparsely set
tied as to make it inadvisable to spend
any money.
The tract is located at Hiawatha and
Fortty-frst avenues, just across Hia-
watha avenue from the old Midway,
When the Midway is improved, the
piece across the street will be in
cluded. For these reasons the board
will resist in every way, even to the
extent of appealing to the courts, any
attempt to take away the little park.

DRAINAGE LEAGUE rs
SHOWING RESULTS
John Abercrombie Reports on Work Of
Last Six Months in Northern Min
nesota.

/, The day Of the grub hoe and the
breaking plow in northern Minnesota
are coming to an end, and the time is
drawing near when the spade and the
dredge will be taken up as the tools
with which the uncultiyated land of
the state may be developed. This is
the opinion of John. Abercrombie of
Alexandria, one Of the best-known en-
glneers Of the state, the man who until
graphical survey Of northern Mime.
sofa swamp lands, authorized : at the
last session of the legislature. 1
Mr.: Abercrombie, whoJis first vice.
president of the Minnesota Drainage
league, with other officers of the
league, met in Minneapolis Friday for
an informal discussion of the work Of
the league. Reports that the league
has become dormant and that little
progress has been made toward accom-
plishing the objects for which the
league stands, had come to the officers,
and the meeting was called by Mr..
also to consider the resignation Of G. III.
Warner, president Of the league, who
has stepped out as the result Of a pres
sure of other business.
A feature of the meeting was a pa
per by Mr.. Abercrombie in which he
reviewed the work accomplished during
the last six months. Entirely on his
own account and without remuneration
he has devoted his time to the work Of
the league with substantial results. A
file of 81 pages covering correspondence
with officers of the league and others
on topics connected with the work of
the league has been prepared by him,
together with an index of the matter
contained in the file. Mr.. Abercrombie
has also prepared file Of $50 pages
covering the recent drainage trip Of
twin city men to the northern part Of
the state. The documents contained in
this file, owing to the intimate knowl-
edge possessed by Mr.. Abercrombie Of
the land which it is proposed to re-
deem, are extremely valuable.
Mr.. Abercrombie made several state
ments which show the magnitude of
the work proposed by the league and
the result such work would have on the
prosperity of the state. Speaking Of
the work of the league, Mr.. Aber-
crombie said:
cit would inaugurate work which,
if honestly carried out, would not only
make all the ssour' land Of the state
sweet and profitable, but 1T would also
change the wet and inaccessible will
derness of northern Minnesota into one
of the largest dairy farm and pastur-
age stretches in the world, in one
piece.'

f.
John F.. Layne, the contractor who
engaged IN an alteration with Henry
u. Stevenson which led to the latter IS
death on Tuesday evening, must face
trial. This is believed to be the deci-
sion of the grand jury, which reported
to Judge Holt today and returned sew
enteen indictments and no "no bills. -
The cases Of Layne and Of Peter Blar.
the Bridge square saloonkeeper, who ran
down Frank Jerome, were the most i'm
portant investigated by the jury, and
altho the Indictments found by the Jury
today will not be made public until
the men are arraigned, both Layne and
Blar have received notice to appear in
court tomorrow morning.
Blar is held responsible for the death
OF jerome, who was struck and killed
by an automobile driven by Blar, while
it is alleged that Layne struck Steven
son, who fell to the ground, fractur-
ing his skull. -
It is not thought that any indict-
ments will be returned in connection
with the filing Of bogus candidates for
office. The jury made a thoro investi-
cation of the matter, however, but
there would be difficulty in framing a
charge against any of the persons con-
nected with the filings.
