Two Fires.

Sunday night at about III o'clock
the fire alarm brought out tue depart
ment to a dwelling house near B shaft
of the Pioneer The fire had secured
Roadway enough to preclude the pos
sibility of its being eXtinguished and
nothing could be done by the depart
ment. How it originated is hard TO
say. The building was occupied as "a
boarding house by several Austrians.
At about 10 o'clock that night after
Sunday jollification. one of the
boarderS hit the landlady in the eye
and was promptly elected. He went
up to get the police with story that
he had beca assaulted. After learning
the true state of affairs. he was
arrested. just before leaving the
house with the officer he asked per-
mission to go up to his room and
change his shirt. The fire was dis
covered at about IL o'clock and
suspicious were strong that the fellow
had set it before going TO Jail. Moth
ing could be proven however and he
was let go with a fine Of $500 and
costs the next day The building was
totally destroyed.

AN ERROR.

La last weeks Issue, an error was
made in the proceedings of The City
Council which is hereby corrected.
The flat rate for l6 C. p. lamps was
raised from 25c TO 35c and the flat
rate for 81 C. p. lamps from soc TO 6Oc,
to take effect january lSt 1903.
According to this, those on fiat
rate will necessarily pay little more
for their lights after the first of Jan.
This equalizes things somewhat as
those on meters were paying far more
in proportion than those on fat rate.

TIMBER AND STONE
Law will Probably be
Repealed Shortly.

The usual tinkering with the
Timber and Stone Act is on. The
Duluth Herald in an able editorial
says:
Washington dispatches report that
the usual bill to repeal the timber
and stone act has been introduced,
and the chances are growing stronger
every session that it will be passed
In all probability it will go through
at this session or the next, and there
after the poor mans chance to make
little mouey out of the nations
forests will disappear, and the cap
italist will get it all.
For the the sentiment of the adj
ministration and of congress is
against the timber and stone act, it is
,very much libelled law. 1t is
charged with evils that are not due
to the law ITSELF but TO the lax en-
forcement of it that has prevailed
in the past. tho it does not prevail
today.
Under the timber and stone act a
man or woman with small capital
can acquire government timber at
small cost. and make a p. oft by
either selling the timber to a lumber
ing concern or by putting in a little
more capital and doing the logging
themselves. 1t is true that the law
has been abused. and that great
numbering companies used to get tim
Der lands fraudulently by hiring
men to take up timber and stone
claims, but that is thing of the past.
Rigid enforcement of the law has
stopped it and if such rigid enforce
ment of law had always prevailed,
there never would have been any land
frauds.
When the timber and stone act is
repealed, the great lumber barons
will be tue only ones who can acquire
timber or timber lands, and as they
are protected by tariff duty and
are banded together, they can charge
the consumers whatever they please,
and thus make a profit on whatever
prices the government is able te-get
The repeal of the timber and stone
act is coming, but it is IL mistake.

GREAT COUNTRY
More here than Rocks and
Mines.

F. A. Wilees in the Mesa bl Ore of
d few weeks ago gave the following
interesting facts. Thif is one of the
moot able articles on this section of
the country it has been our pleasure
to see:
For many years the public has
been told by those who know little
of the subject that northeastern
Minnesota was of no value for agri-
culture, or for anything else, save as
Il temporary abiding place for tie
festive lumberjack and the iron
miner. People in other states have
reached the conclusion that the soil
is non-productive from a careful
reading of geological reports, whose
chief purpose was the study of the
rock formations. The geologist has
studied a limited area, and that for
limited space of time. From data
thus gained, they who read his re-
ports, come to the general conclu-
sion that where granite does not
outcrop the formation is a ferru-
ginOus ebert more or less amphib0

strict app lcaLion of this system will
have the benehcent effect of wedding

for the mines of the Mesaba range
would be timely. The rules should be

Getting Rid of Them.

The mine operators of The western
states have adopted killing system
for application TO Tue Western FEEDER
alton of Miners aud other "unioDs'
that try TO control localities by
threats and violent force. The
Nevada mine owners have issued a
proclamation to the effect that they
propose to run their own business
affairs without any aid. suggestion
or dictation from outsiders; that from
now on, no member of the Western
Federation of Miners or other such
organization will be given employ
ment at any Of the mines. and that

Considerable in Stock.

The Iron Trade Review says Terry
few shipping orders are being re-
ceived, and the great store of iron ore
on docks is undergoing little dimin-
ution. The ore on lower Lake Erie
docks'at the present time is approx
mately 100000 tons, an increase of
about so per cent over the correspond
ing of last year. All of the few
struggling boats have now been d.
vested of their cargoes, and the fleets
are all laid up for the winter. As yet
next seasons ore remains an I'M
attractive proposition and no interest
in it is being shown.

Tuesday during the noon hour
another alarm was sounded, it having
been discovered that The VanderblO0m
Photo Studio was atire. The fire was
confined in the west wall and only a
few minutes sufficed To tear a hole III
the building and get water TO the seat
of the trouble. The damages were
nominal. 1t is supposed that the
heating stove Was too near the wall
aud had heated the same TO the point
of combustion.
