Duluth did not obtain SO large an
appropriation as it asked for harbor
purposes, but at the same time it
seems to be satisfied with the sum Sc
cured. Anent this the Duluth Herald
says: "The Duluth-Superior harbor
gets $725, 900 under the compromise
rivers and harbors bill. This is not
all that was asked, but it is very fair
and will be right welcome.

POstof6ce inspectors have unearthed
another mining swindle. G. L. Jack
man and Arthur Levan have been
rounded up in Denver charged with
using the United States mails to de-
fraud the public by the advertising
and selling of worthless stock. This
fraudulent company has cleared up
within the past four months about
$50, 900 from the sale of stock at forty
cents a share. 1t was incorporated
last November with 10000, 900 shares
at the par value of one dollar each
under the title of the Lost Bullion
Spanish Mining company. There are
hundreds of other concerns of like
nature operating in this country and
the postof1ice inspectors, it is to be
hoped. will eventually succeed in
bringing them to justice.

The inhabitants of Minneapolis
have worked themselves into such an
intense state of nervousness over the
mad dog scare that it would not be
surprising to see many of them go in
sane. Every dog, whether it be a
good dog or bad one, is regarded
with the utmost suspicion, and squads
of policemen in go-carts are pursuing
and firing at all CANNES that put in
an appearance. An epidemic of fear
exists where perhaps not more than
one or two cases of genuine hydro
phobia has existed.

Pioneer Press: Minnesota is still,
as concerns the greater part of it's
area, state of undeveloped resources.
These resources invite capital, and
capital lends a willing ear. But it is
extremely sensitive to alarms sounded
from legislative halls where radical
ism holds sway. If the investments
are to be made which are to open up
in our midst new avenues to wealth;
if immigration is to be attracted by
enlarged opportunities for employ
ment; if the home market for our farm
products and manufactures is to be
stimulated, it will not be done by
radical legislation in the guise of re-
form.

The defeat OF the Higgins bill in the
Minnesota legislature created not the
semblance of a disturbance in the
ranks of our mild-mannered sisters
who seek to become voters and poll
ticians, but in London the suffragists,
a large number of whom have just
been released from jail. say that de-
feat of their pet bill, now before par
lament, will mean revolution!
While those cockney women are ter.
rors when they go on the warpath, we

merely resolve itself into another
march upon the houses of parliament
and another wind-up in jail amid
scratching and weeping and gnashing
of teeth.

A fund of $4,000 is being raised
by the Red River Valley Improvement
and Development association to ad-
vertise the resources and advantages
of the Red river valley. A few good
main highways through the length
and breadth of the Red river valley
would do more towards advertising
that section of the state than all other
agencies combined. But the legisla-
tors from that corner of the state are
so busily engaged in fighting the rail-
roads that they have no time to de-
vote to the all-important question OF
good roads. Hon. 81. o. Bjorge OF
Becker, and Hon. E.. E. Adams OF
Otter Tail are excepted from this
criticism There is no sense in invit-
ing newcomers to settle in northern
Minnesota under present conditions

unless it is proposed to provide them
with air ships or steam boats to ena-
BILE them to get around. One mile OF
a good highway is worth more to the
state than ton of advertising matter
printed in three colors and in ten
languages.

TIME TO CALL a HIATT

A new and more stringent game and
fish law is proposed, the feature of
which will be a universal gun license
proviso. AS we understand it a farm
er's boy will not be permitted to hunt
on his fathers farm unless he first
secures a license. The idea of taxing
boy one or two dollars for carry
ing five dollar gun on his fathers
land is absurd. Mr.. Charles Avery,
the newly appointed executive agent
OF the game and fish commission, says
it is a revenue measure. There is a.
standing appropriation of s35, 600 an
nually placed at the disposal of the
game and fish commission (see section
81, chapter 344 general laws of leO5)
together with gun license fees, hunters
license fees, tag and permit fees, etc.,
which will probably amount to as
much more. Twice as much money is
squandered in the alleged protection
of fish and game for the benefit of the
favored few as is expended in caring
for all the lands, timber and minerals
OF the state. 1t is time to call a halt
in the extravagant expenditures for
fish hatcheries and game and fish pro-
lection. If the new game law is enacted
it should be entitled, "An Act to Pro-
vide Ways and Means for the Employ

Mayor Smith of St. Paul is a kindly
old gentleman and we think he will re.
consider his decision to GUST DR..
Ohage from Office. DR.. Ohage has
rendered incalculable services to St.

not by any means make him one. DR..
Ohage's sole aim and ambition is to

Mankato, Mimi, Feb. 1S.-William
WOODBURY., an Independence farmer,
aged seventy-one years, was attacked
and probably fatally injured by a
vicious hog, but his faithful collie
dog saved him from being killed out
right. WOODBURY. was alone on the
farm at the time, but his cries of pain
and fright brought the dog to his res

and killed it, and then stood guard
over his master for two hours, when
human help arrived.
St. Cloud, MIMI, March 1.-Had it
not been for his faithful dog, John
Franklin, the young son of farmer
living near St. Joseph, would have
been trampled to death beneath the
feet of some cattle he was attempting
to tie up. While he was tying up the
stock the rope became entangled in
his feet and he was thrown to the
ground. The cattle stampeded and
several of them had rushed over the
PROSTATE figure of the boy when the
dog grabbed hold of his coat and
managed to pull him out of danger.
The boy had his collar bone broken
and was badly bruised, but was not
dangerously hurt.
