Johnson is the man to whom great

The fees from the weighing depart

on.
Plans are on foot to put the Supe'

directors will get at this matter at
once. 1t is the intention to have some

so that the workings of the Wisconsin

PIONEER PRESS IN new HANDS
HILL INFLUENCE is ELIMINATED
-RETURNS TO POLICY OF
ITS FOUNDER.

The ST. Paul Pioneer Press, the old
fluential newspaper in the Northwest,
recently passed under the control of a
syndicate headed by Tams Bixby and
Webster Wheelock, the latter son of
the late Joseph A Wheelock, the
founder of the paper. The Duluth
News-Tribune comments editorially
upon the change as follows:
BACK TO THE PEOPLE.
The Pioneer Press of Wednesday
made brief but significant announce
ment. 1t has been known for some
weeks that all the stock OF the corpor-
alton held by proxy for Mr.. James }.
Hill had been purchased by other in
terests, and that Mr.. Hill was volun'
tarily down and out SO far as the Plo-
neer Press was concerned.
Mr.. Hill has not found newspaper
ownership profitable as side line TO
railroading and has wisely renounced
it. The announcement of the Pioneer
Press is the official notice by its pres
ent owners of the changed relations OF
that paper to the public. Of the Oil
rectors, John H. Barker and Jared How,
familiar names to many, were not re-
elected, and it is stated that all the
stock held by Mr.. Barker and others,
for Mr.. Hill, has been taken by a
syndicate composed of Tams Bixby,
Webster Wheelock and sixteen Other
residents of st. Paul, two residents OF
Minneapolis and two of Red Wing.
Fred G. Ingersoll of st. Paul now be-
comes president of the company, and
Tams Bixby vice president and gen
eral manager, the other directors be-
ing E. N. Saunders, Homer P. Clark
and Webster Wheelock, Of ST. Paul;
|. S. Gillett of Minneapolis, and John
H. Rich of Red Wing, whose personal
ity and business connections are we'll
known throughout the state
This change in the ownership of the
Pioneer Press is a matter of more
than passing interest and Importance
to the people of Minnesota. 1t is its
oldest daily newspaper in the state,
and nothing has ever been able to
break it's hold upon the older residents
and the more conservative business
element 1t has always had their con
fidence and support and has deserved
it.
But the fact of Mr.. Hills large inter
est in the property which was known
to many and suspected by more, ere
jnc in 70
minds of the masses.
To hold the confidence of the people
newspaper in the West must be indie
pendent not only in it's opinions but in
all connections and be wholly of the
people and for the people. The Pioneer
Press will be greatly strengthened by
this change and will regain the power
which was won for it by it's able and
fearless founder, Joseph Wheelock.

Milwaukee Claims This Amount as
Having Been Overpaid.

In it's answer to the complaint in a
suit brought by the state for $4,000
back taxes, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railroad company makes a
counterclaim for the sum of $1,469,-

to 1902, inclusive The company's an

Of the counterclaim was big surprise
to that official.
The theory on which the company
makes the counterclaim is that 1t has
been paying a license fee on inter
state business, shipments from points
within this state to points outside, or
shipments from points outside to
points within the state, while it should
only have paid fees on intrastate bust
ness, or business originating and end
ing within this state.
AS the point raised involves a highly
important question: the suit is likely
to be carried to the United States SUI
preme court, and if it is it will be sew
eral years before it is finally deter
mined The state has begun a similar
suit for back taxes against the Chica-
go & Northwestern Railway company

claim as large or larger than that of
the Milwaukee. The Chicago & North
