Harry Miller, a travelling salesman
for a wholesale liquor concern at
Mankato, was arrested at Walnut
Grove last week upon the complaint of
the salooRkeepers of that town that he
was selling liquor in less quantities
thanis allowed by law. The license
in Walnut Grove is ST 900 and the
local saloonkeepers feel that at this
price their business will not admit of
letting outsiders come in and sell
"frewater'' without first obtaining a
license to do so. Miller retained coun-
sci from Mankato to get him out of his
difficulty, but the Walnut Grove JUS
tice couldn't see it as they did and
bound him over to appear before the
next grand jury.
William Kensbruck. proprietor of
a hotel in st. Peter, was swindled out
OF $40 last Thursday by a stranger
who gave his name as Frank Linster.
Learning that Konsbruck was the own
er of farm in Marshall county,
.Linster negotiated for it's purchase and
when the terms were agreed upon, he
gave the hotel man a check to bind the
bargain. The check was on the First
National bank of that city, but Linster
obliterated its name and inserted that
OF the State Bank of Independence,
Iowa. Shortly after the transaction
Linster found that he was short of
ready money and wrote another check
for $40. This was cashed by Kons-
bruck, and then Linster disappeared.
Mrs. Lucia REIN, wife of Theodore
REIN, died at her home in this city
last Saturday and was buried Monday
morning. The deceased was born in
Foralberg, Tyrol, IN 1885 and came to
America in 1859. The same year she
was married to Mr.. Rein who at that
time lived on a claim in the township
of Cottonwood. Here they continued
to reside until 1901 when they removed
to New Ulm and made this city the
home of their declining days. About
a month ago Mrs. Reimsustained a
stroke of apoplexy and from this she
never recovered. She was always
known as a woman of good qualities,
a faithful helpmate to her husband and
a kind mother. Her husband and two
children survive her. The children are

In Massachusetts, two years ago,
Mr.. Douglas, a Democrat, was cleo
ted governor on the issue of tariff
revision. At the same election Mr.
Roosevelt, Republican,, carried the
state for president on platform which
declared against revision
Who could tell from that election
what the people of achusetts
thought about the tariff
Government would be more truly
representative il the electors, irrespec-
tive of their choice of parties and men
had way of making known their
wishes on particular measures.
The Initiative would enable the peo-
pie to say what they want.
The referendum would enable them
to say what they do not want.
Who will object to that?
Possibly the man who has a person
al interest in bad government; GER
tainly not the man who has patrio-
tic interest in good government. st.
Paul News.
Thiswaspopuiism several years ago,
but it seems to be good democracy
and even good republieanism today
Crazy partisanshipis evidently doomed
to give way to sensible notions of
right and justice and that too within
our own generation.

pURE-FoOD LAW,'AFFECTs BREWERS
New Regulations Provides for Cor
rect Labelling Of Bottles.

d
Brewers hereafter are prohibited
from labelling their bottled beer decep-
lively. The national pure food law,
which becomes effective February L,
applies to beer brewers as well as to
food dealers. The bottles used by
brewers, do not, as rule contain as
much liquor as the label indicates.
This is a direct violation of the pure
food law, and the manufacturers have
been advised to this effect.
The brewers claim that 1.-THE fault is
with the bottle makers, as none of the
bottles come up to the full measure
In order to conform to the law, they
will hereafter not indicate the quantity
of liquor in the bottle. AS many of
the breweries have large number of
their bottles already labeled, the law
will not be enforced until October /.
1907, thus giving them sufficient time
to use what they now have on hand.

omy which will bring the appropria-
tions within the estimate made by the
state auditor, because his estimate is
carefully made and based upon exper-
fence. [ recognize the fact that there
are many temptations to increase the
general appropriations, but every eff
fort should be made in the direction of
careful finance with view to reducing
the burden of taxation as much as pos
sible''
Then he launched into detailed dis
cussion of practically all matters that
will come up for consideration at the
present session.
The problem of taxation is treated
in all its phases, but particularly does
the governor dwell on the appoint
ment of a permanent tax commission,
the taxation of mortgages and mines,
and the necessity of legislation that
will tend to prevent the evasion of per-
sonal taxes SO common at the present
time.
Railroad legislation is also gone
into at great length. The executive
favors, in fact demands, the immedi-
ate passage of a reciprocal demurrage
bill, two-cent passenger rate and an
effective relief from the extortion and
abuse of high and unfair railroad
rates OF transportation.
Insurance is discussed and so too
public ownership of public utilities.
There are also interesting chapters
dealing with the primary law, with la
Dor legislation and with the alleged
lumber and harvester trusts.
But through the kindness of Gov.
Johnson the Review has been furnished
with an advance copy of the entire
message, and a careful summary APP
pears on another page of this paper.
1t is given to the readers of the Re-
view several hours ahead of any other
publication and is we'll worth reading.

PLACE GOES TO YOUNG MAN.
Brown County Boy SignalIy Hon
ored by St. Paul School Board.
Prof. w. F. KunZe Unanimously
Elected Principal of Cleve-
land High School.
His Salary to be considerably an
Excess OF his Pay at Red Wing.

w. f. Kunze, a native of Prairie
vile in this county and at present
superintendent of the public schools
at Red Wing, has been elected priuci-
pal of the Cleveland school of ST.
Paul DIT a salary of $2,250. He sue
ceeds Prof. Farnsworth who resigned
several weeks ago.
1t was expected that there would be
some fight over this election, there be-
ing several other candidates with good
records behind them, who were de-
sirous of the position, but Prof.
Kunze's record was SO very good and
his recommend ations so strong that
he was the unanimous choice.
Prof. Kunze is a man of about 81
years. He is a product of the Sleepy
Eye and New Ulm schools, and has
had ten years experience as an ednca
tor. He is a graduate of the Hamllne
preparatory course and also of the
University of Minnesota. He has
also done years post graduate work
at the latter institution.
For time, while student of the
university, he was an assistant instruc-
tor III chemistry, and also spent a year
after graduation in the same position
While at the university be was also
associate editor. with Prof. Hall, of
the "Syllabus in Physical Geo
graphy," and also one of the authors
of Exercises in Arithmetic. . Since
then he has spent two years in the
rural schools of the state, one year as
principal of the Lake City High
school, two years as superintendent of
the Hastings schools, and five and one
half years as superintendent of schools
at Red Wing. Besides this expert
ence as an educator, he has also acted
as instructor in four teachers train
/ ing schools, and as conductor of six
teachers training schools Among
his shonor positions" are the follow
ing: State director of the National
| Educational associationfo for two years;
president of the high school council of
the state this year; corresponding
secretary of the Minnesota Educatlon-
al association this year; chairman of
the committee which organized the
City Superintendent association for
Minnesota; and first president of the
Southeastern Education association
this year.
An evidence ftheapprecia tiono fhis
ability by the Red Wing school board
can be found in the fact that, although
Prof. Kunze began his work in the Red
Wing schools at a salary of only
81, 500 a year, he has since that time
had it raised from time to time, until
now it has reached 50, 900, the highest

II was awakened from my sleep by
slight, peculiar rumbling sound
which seemed to proceed from the
river. In moment was at the door
curious to know the cause and as I
opened it terrific, almost indescrib-
able noise rang in my ears. The ter
rible successive crashes almost deafeD-
ed me. Then the sounds died away.
Think of 10000 loose wagons running
at full speed over rough frozen road,
and you might gain an inkling of what
it was like. Determined to make an
investigation as soon as day broke, I
returned to bed but not to sleep.
bright and early Friday morning |
began my search for the cause of the
previous nights discontinue. Others
who passed through similar experiences
were doing the same. 1t was not hard
to locate it. An oblong hole a quarter
of mile wide and half mile in
length awed us. Fully $50 feet below
the surface was tract of ground that
for the world looked like an industri-
GUS farmer had been busily engaged

the scene ! watched the slowly sinking
process throughout the day. 1t was
something | shall never forget"
Mr.. Rice says that part of the land is
owned by Dick Steen and the remain
der is on the old Cap Lewis ranch.
Tho scene of the peculiar occurrence
is 1out 21 miles above Lewiston. The
country in that section is of peculiar
geographical construction. Immense
deposits of lime have been discovered
in the vicinity of the slip aud the
fallen ground lies between a strata of
lime stone and one of basalt. 1t is
the theory among the residents of that
section that there is an immense un-
derground cave aud that the unusual
amount of moisture of the past winter
is responsible for the disturbance.
Mr.. Rice says that the sinking earth
left the sides of the cavity almost pre-
cipitous. No stock happened to be
grazing on the particular spot at the
time and there was no loss of life.

Tue following account of very re-
m rkadle geological disturbance 81
nils from Lewiston. Idaho, is taken
from b. Tribune of that place:
With roar that startled residents
from their slum bers and caused cold
beads of perspiration to stand out from
their bodies, 80 acres of pasture land,
three miles from the mouth of the
Grand Ronde river. sank 150 feet be-
low the surface of the ground last
Thursday night. The almost indies
cribable noise lasted for several min
utes as the millions of tons of earth
shot downward. All day Friday it
continued to siuk slowly as if subter-
raneau cavern was swallowing in the
grass covered acres. Twisted aud
overturned by the action of the slip,
the surface of the deta 3hed tract now
resem bles a summerfallow field.

GOV CHAMBERLAIN AND THE LEGISLATURE

vacillating policy they place upon me
the responsibility not of settling the
question, but of vetoing the measure,
which they we'll knew OF ought to have
known must veto in order to be con
sistent and at the same time do my
duty toward the taxpayers OF the state.
/ accept the responsibility and the
duty, though my course will not settle
the question. and neither will appeals
based on sentiment, nor threats can
deter me.
Governor Chamberlain then turns
his guns on Speaker Davey and gives
him a broadside. The executive says
in his arraignment of the speaker:
''There is another reason which i'm
pels me to veto the bill under consid-
GRAFTON, and that is my firm conviction
[ it has not become law because of the
unusual, unparliamentary and, may
say, unlawful course adopted by the
very distinguished presiding officer of
the house the evening before adjourn
ment and the next morning, when the
bill was finally disposed of.
81 have not examined the house
journal, but l assume that it will
speak the truth, and. if it does, it will
appear that the distinguished speaker
declared on the evening of February 20
that the bill had passed, when in fact
it had not passed; that the next moru-
ing when the house convened he stated
that he had announced that the bill
had passed the evening before, when in
fact it had not passed. Then, on his
own motion, he ordered roll-oall for
the purpose of checking the negative
votes, no member answering to his
name until King of Malheur was
reached, and King. when his name
was called, changed his vote of no,
cast the evening before, to yes and
without proceeding farther down the
roll the speaker declared the bill pass
ed second time. | am of the opinion
that these irregularities would invali
date the measure even if it were not
vetoed Ey me-.
The governor then quotes the news
account of the passage of the bill pub
lished in Davey's own paper at Salem,
picturing Davey standing with gayel
appraised and calling for affirmative
votes to pass the bill, and the governor
then proceeds:
cit will thus be seen that the pro-
ceedings of the house partook some
what of those of an auction sale aud
the rights of the people were struck off
under the hammer to those producing
the greatest numb ber of votes. There
certainly is no precedent for this in
Oregon and know of no parallel in
history except that instanced by Glib
bon in The Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire, where the Praetorian
guards, growing insolent from excess
of military license, ran upon the ram
parts, proclaimed the Roman world
for sale and struck off the right and
privilege of presiding over the desti-
MES of a decadent people at public
auction to the highest bidder

RAILROADS SHOW FIGHT.

1t begins to look as if Oregon will
be bottled up tighter than ever by the
railroad system that controls this ter
ritory completely. Instead of going
slow and making some concessions
because of the agitation for remedial
legislation, the railroad management
shows disposition to fight to a finish
all attempts of the people to secure
7 better service and more reasonable
rates.
This disposition to fight is shown in
the announcement, coincident with the
opening of the legislative session, of a
most radical raise in freight rates in
western Oregon, including. among
other commodities, our most important
export product, lumber. The arrogant
attitude and language OF Chief Counsel
Cotton of the Hartman system, and
bringing of influence to bear that has
swung Oregon's largest newspaper, the
Oregonian, back into line as an advo-
cate of railroad interests and an oppo-
nent of railroad commission and free
Willamette locks, may also be con-
structed as signs of the program of
resistance mapped out by the big cor
poration.
There are, furthermore, good reasons
for surmising that the proposed exten-
sions in western Oregon, viz, the
Drain Coos Bay and the Natron-Kla-
math branches, are to be abandoned.
This situation is really alarming,
and proves how strong is the grip Of
the railroads upon the country and how
difficult is the task of breaking the
throttle hold they have upon our grow
ing industries. To western Oregon it
leaves but one distant prospect of re-
lief-that of securing in course of time
by aid of congress the opening to free
navigation of the Willamette river as
far as Eugene. To this end every in
dustrial interest of the Willamette val
ley should bend all their energies.
