The License Had Expired.

Last week J. A. Stoneberg of Cam
bridge was found guilty of the charge
OF conducting a public auction sale
without having first procured a Ii
cense from the county commissioners,
and was fined SIS and costs. It ap-
pears that Mr.. Stoneberg's license
had expired on the 5th of January
and by some inadvertence on the part
of one of the commissioners had not
been renewed, although the applica-
ton was on file in the county audi
tors Office. By the way, public
auctioneer is required to pay $40 IL
cense fee annually and file bond of
not less than $1,000. The license
entities him to do business in the
county in which it is issued and in
any of the adjoining counties.

Two-Cent Fare Bill Passes Senate.

The senate passed the Peterson bills
for 2-cent-a-mile railroad fare and
prohibiting passes. The 2-cent bill
went through by a vote of 81 to 6.
The anti-pass measure received but
one opposing vote-that of Senator
Laybourn of Duluth. Amendments
were proposed to both bills, but the
senate took the advice of Senator
Peterson and voted them all down.
The 2-cent bill of the senate pro-
hibits charging over 2 cents mile for
passengers over II years of age, or
over cent mile for children from 5
to II, and children under 5, free.
The anti-pass bill prohibits giving
any special privileges or rate ss'sfor

portation of any person or property

BALDWIN ROAD CASE
Judge Giddings Hands Down Decision
That Town of Baldwin Has Ac-
quired No Jurisdiction.
Case Will Probably be Carried to ST.
preme Court in Order to OBJ
tain Decisive Ruling.

Judge Giddings has handed down a
decision in the Damon road contest
case to the effect that the town of
Baldwin has not acquired jurisdiction
in the matter. A summary of the pro-
ceedings follows:
This case, which was tried before
Judge Giddings and a jury at Elk
River on November Is, l6 and II,
1906. was an appeal to the district
court from an order of the town board
of Baldwin which instructed the laying
out of q public highway. A portion
of this highway crossed A. B. Damon S
land.
Three questions, as follows, were at
that time presented to the jury, all OF
which we're decided in favor of the
town board:
l. Whether the order of the board
to construct the road should be af-
firmed and the road laid out. To this
question the jury answered, EYES,"
2. The amount of damage to A. B.
Damon by reason of same. This dam
age was assessed by the jury at $50.
3. Whether the notice of hearing
was served on Damon in the manner
claimed by the board. This question
was answered by the jury in the affirm
ative.
The court reserved to itself the
question as to the legal sufficiency Of
upon this point called for further
argument. Such argument was pre-.
sented at Anoka on January %, 1907
On February l6 the court filed its
order, reviewing the matter to the ex.
tent Of ten typewriter pages, and
holding that the service in the manner
claimed was not legally sufficient and
that the board had not thereby &C.
quired jurisdiction in the matter.
The question turned on the meaning
of the term ''personal service" as used
in the road statutes.
If the rule announced by Judge Gid
dings is sustained there is probably
not legally laid out road in the
state under the revised code. The
question is Of so vital Importance
that it will probably be deemed ad-
visable to take it to the supreme court
in order to obtain a final and decisive
ruling in the matter.

Spuds Fir1ner in Chicago.

Chicago Blowing to colder weather
the market has 6rmed up considerably
on potatoes and holders have been
asking more money. Despite the car
situation, which is still bad, the local
market has received about the same
stocks as last week. Buying both on
local and shipping account has been
brisk and this has stimulated prices
all along the line.
Owing to the cold snap there is lots
OF trouble again protecting cars from
frost. Refrigerator cars are about as
hard to get as ever, but some sections
report box cars more plentiful. Up in
Michigan there are cases where cars
have made the fifth trip this season.
When they can be gotten with lining
intact it is great saving as lumber
and labor are no small items in pre-
pairing cars for shipment. Wherever
possible cars are being shipped under
orders to be returned to the shipper
when unloaded at destination, and this
cooperation on the part of the rail-
roads is appreciated by shippers.
e. P. Miller, of Albert Miller g. Co.,
says the eating quality of Triumphs
is being overlooked by the trade and
he believes this variety of spuds can
be handled by hundreds of dealers to
supply their customers if little effort
is made. They are smooth potatoes
with no eyes and Mr.. Miller believes
they will be in demand shortly for
table use and will be eagerly sought.

Mir. Hill's Resourcefulnes SIS.

An associated press dispatch from
Chicago says:
Should j. J. Hill fail in his efforts
to increase the capitalization of the
Great Northern sufficiently to enable
him to make it a double track system
throughout it's entire length, it is said
he will get around the difficulty by
organizing new company and build
ing another transcontinental line.
This would be a considerably more
expensive operation than merely
double tracking the existing road, but
where business demands it expenses
do not count for much with Mr.. Hill
in the carrying out of his purpose.
The first step in the construction of
such a road, it is said, will probably
be the building of a line from St. Paul
to the western end of North Dakota,
and this would serve to relieve the
congestion on the Great Northern
where it is most severely felt.
Most of the trouble at present is be-
tween Grand Forks on the Red river
to Minot. A new line from Fargo to
Minot would relieve this entirely.
1t also would open up section of
the country not now possessing rail-
road facilities.
Mr.. Hill does not appear to be much
in sympathy with the movement to
cease railroad construction on &C.
count of the difficulty of raising money
for new enterprises.
At all events, he is going ahead
with the building on a scale that is
surprising to many in the railroad
world. .
At the present moment she has not
less than 5000 miles of road under
construction between the Mississippi
river and the Pacific ocean, and this
IN spite of the fact that within the last
SIX years the Hill lines have put in
operation some $500 miles of new
track.
The Great Northern is now operat-
ing S72 miles more than it was in 1000.
The Northern Pacific has added 687
miles to its system, and the Burling-
ton is operating today 79l miles more
than it had at the opening of the GEN.
fury.
OF the various sections now under
construction the most important is the
new transcontinental line which Mr..
Hill is building in Canada. A large
force of men has been kept at work all

Not the Source of All Evils

While the legislature is taking nu-

not reserve one good blow each for the

and other monopolies. The railroads
are not the source of all evils.-Kel-

Excursions Benefit Mostly Big Cities.
The railroads threaten to cut off
all excursion rates if two-cent rate
