MIR ROOsEVELTs PERSONALITY.

The following editorial comment
OF the Petersburg. Va. Index-Appeal
OF the first inst. under the caption
Of What the President Demands. "
is, in our judgment a correct sum-
ming up OF the characteristics and
purposes OF this most remarkable
statesman in the history Of the A.
merican republic:
The President needs no interpre-
later What ne says can be under
stood Of all men. He may not
always look ahead for the possible
effects OF what he says or does. but
there can be no misapprehension as
20 what he means. II was a surprise
TO many, therefore, when. lately.
Representative Longworth delivered
what seemed 10 be n disguised mes
sage from the President. Mr. Long
worth denied that he spoke for any
one but himself yet the ideas were
the Presidents or such as one would
expect him 20 have. The main point
in the Representative statement
was that there could be no backward
steps by the Republican party in the
course marked out for Il by the
President; that the White House T.
IDEAS must be sustained and carried
10 their legitimate conclusions. IL
Is immaterial whether Mr.. Longworth
was a trusted messenger, or gave
out a statement that was what a
stronger mind than his own had i'm
pressed on him. In either event, what
he said was what the President
thought and had said in some form or
other, and what the party will be
expected 10 do is TO carry out the
Fresidents wishes, no matter what
they are or may hereafter be.

TWO CENTS A MILE.
New Rate Went Into Effect We'd
nesday on State Railroads.

Following the bill passed at the
session of the Minnesota legislature
which closed last week, the two-cent-
annie railroad rate went into effect
Wednesday morning, or on May 1.
The lowering of the passenger rate
is calculated to prove of untold ben
eft to the people of the state. All
the railroads have announced their
new schedules and all conform strictly
within the two-cent limit. The fare
now from Duluth to st. Paul will be
S3.O4, instead of $3.50, as formerly.
The Duluth & Iron Range has an
nounced schedule rate of 1888 be-
tween Ely and Duluth and straight
two-cent rate between stations on its
line. Hence, the rate to Tower is 44c.
No more half fare permits will be
issued, however, with the exception
of children between the ages of five
and II years. The saving on a round
trip to Duluth from here on the new
schedule will be Sl.74.

United States Steel.

At a meeting OF the finance com.
mittee of the United States Steel cor
poration the steel Situation was re-
viewed, and the members all agreed
that there had been no developments
that indicated a reaction in bus ness.
The business booked by the United
States Steel corporation in March is
understood to have shown gain of
between $50. 900 and 200, 200 tons over
the corresponding month of last year.
A member of the finance committee
said: ut is mystery to me where
all these pessimistic statements bear
ing on iron and steel originate.
The Steel corporation continues to
show gains in order business over last
year. and not until there are signs of
a decrease will we be convinced that
prosperity is on the wane. The earn
ings OF the Steel corporation in the
first quarter of the current year were
very large, notwithstanding floods in
the Pittsburg district. So far we
have received no request to speak of
to defer or cancel steel contracts"

Court House Commission.

The new law.which delegates to the
chairman of the board of county
commissioners the power of appoint
ing the court house commission, will
be in force by the coming meeting of
the county board and the appoint
ments will probably be made at that
time. 1t is understood that Neil
McInnis of Eveleth and Patrick Ryan
of Hibbing will receive the appoint
ments to succeed Supt. Agnew and
Capt. f. Morcom, who refuse to ac-
cept re-appointments. The Duluth
papers were wrong in their statement
that Mr.. Ryan displaced Capt. Nor
com as county commissioner. Grant

CONS place, and If things were equally
divided this range should have man
on the court house commission.

New Cars.

The Duluth & Iron Range is receiv-
ing shipments Of new ore cars from
the Pressed Steel Car company of
Pittsburg and VIII receive 500 Of
them. The Mesaba road is also re-
ceiving its new cars, about 1000 in
all, from the same company and the
STANDARD Car Works Of Butler, Pa.
These figures show that Minnesota
ore roads intend to haul some ore dur
ing the shipping season Of 1907, All
of the new ears VIII be placed ia sery-

of the old wooden cars will be retired
by their advent, but not all Of them,

Assessors at Work.

The season of prevarication has ar
rived. Every day for the next few
weeks pretty housewives and unscru-
|pulous proprietors will smile sweetly
and cajole unsuspecting and trusting
assessors, for they started on their
annual tour Tuesday morning to ap-
praise the personal property of the
citizens Of the county of st. Louis,
says the Tribune.
Expensive pianos will be worth $50

and real oriental rugs won't be gen.

date and nearly useless. while horses
will have been old in the days of Nan
cy Hanks and fit candidates for the
boneyard.
Everybody will be poor, no money
In the bank, no stocks, no jewelry,
people will wish they had some of the
latter, but sorry to say they never
could afford to purchase any.
"The household furniture? That
was a wedding present when we were
married." housewives will say "years
and years ago. Don't you see how
worn and ragged the rugs are, and
how scratched up the chairs and
tables are? The clock doesn't keep
good time, and If didn't have one of
those dollar alarm clocks l would
never know when to start my dinner"
Yet these people go to church reg
ularly and lead good lives and think
It Is not wrong to deceive the state
and county.
About sixty men started Tuesday

total of which is expected to reach
the SIC, 600, 900 mark this year, an in
crease of nearly S2.000,O00 over last

Wants the Money.

Mandamus proceedings instituted
by e. L. Young, attorney general, to
collect $1,000 which the state claims
is due on tax settlement Is years
ago, we're argued before Judges Cant

attorney, appeared for st. Louiscoun-

PENDANTS.
Owing to bank failure the county
lost $4,000. The states proportion
ate share of the loss was $4,000. L..
II. Whipple, who was then treasurer,
withheld the sum from the tax settle
ment with the state,
The cities, villages and school dis
tricts that were to have received a
portion of the money agreed to stand
their proportionate share of the loss,
The state, however, instituted man
damus proceedings to recover the

has been in the attorney generals
office without receiving the attention
of the incumbents. Mr.. Young is the
first official to push the matter.

GAME LAW CHANGES.
Several Defects Remedied in the
Game Laws.

A number of changes in the game
laws were made at the session of the
legislature just closed and the revised
laws will be published in book form
soon.
Game wardenS are now specifically
empowered to arrest without warrant
parties caught in the act of violating
any of the provisions of the game
laws. This power has always been
the warden's but the right to do so
was questioned, however, so the leg
islature passed bill giving them the
power.
The use of artificial lights in spear.
ing pickerel or any rough fish has
been made unlawful during the
months of May and June. Hereto
fore the use of artificial light was
lawful during all the year. Bass are
spawning during May and June and
with the lights many of them were
speared by the pot artist. The sports
men commend the new law.
The season for muskrat and mink
has been changed and it now extends
from Nov. Is to April Is, instead CT
from Nov. to May 1, The season
has been shortened thirty days.
The most important change made
is that regarding rewards. Previous
ly, the state offered reward of $40
to anyone giving information which
would lead to the arrest and convic-
tion of any violator of the game laws.
Tile rewards are now graded and run
as follows: For information leading
to the arrest and conviction of a yio-
ator of the law relating to moose and
caribou, $50; relating to deer, $25;
game birds and fish, $40. Salaried
game wardens do not get these re-
wards.

D. e I. r. Land Grant.

A dispatch from St. Paul Monday
states that State Auditor Iverson has
turned over to the Duluth & Iron
Range road deeds calling for $4,000
acres of land, and that this practi-
cally satisfies the land grant of the
road The lands turned over TO the
state are described as state swamp
lands, and are located in st. Louis,
Lake and Cook counties.
The bulk of the land is in st. Louis
county, as only 240 acres are located
in Cook and 100 acres in Lake county.
There are still 5000 acres due the
road under its grant and these are
being selected.
The total grant by the state TO the
Duluth & Iron Range road was 600, 900
acres. This action was taken by the
state in 1875, and ever since that time
has been in progress of settlement.
The delay has been mainly because
the state has had to wait great
length of time to receive the paten Is
from the federal government, and be-
cause the road has had right of Sc
lection.
Former State Auditor Dunn when
in office denied the right of the road
to take such lands as it saw fit and
attempted to have the grant closed
up promptly, but Judge Lochren of
the United States court held that the
company had the right of selection.
