The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1907-02-20

The Minnesota forestry associa-
ton is making a strong plea that
the legislature follow up the recon-
mendation of Governor Johnson and
have Itasca park turned over to
their control as a forestry expert
ment station. In addition to expert
ments in general forestry, it is pro-
posed to experiment there with the
wood of our quick growing trees
such as cottonwood, willow and soft
maple, with a view to making them
more durable and valuable. The
state wood pile is a pretty import
ant item, the annual value of the
manufactured products of our for
ests footing up $40, 900, 900 a year.
The forestry board is deserving of
legislative recognition.

ArSGm1ent of Railroad Men.

Prominent railroad men have been
before the committees the past week
arguing that it would be almost ruina-
tiOn to reduce their rates to cents
a mile, and still they admit that they
give a great many excursions at u
cents and even 1 cent a mile as an in
ducement to bring in extra business.
For instance, the fact was cited that
the Omaha road gave Ill excursions
last year, the rates for all of which
were much below cents per mile,
but that il they We're forced to carry
everybody every day at 2 cents mile
they could not earn enough to pay
their operating expenses, let alone
their dividends and interest on their
bonds. 1t is quite evident from the
proceedings of the past week that
some drastic legislation will be placed
upon the statute books concerning
railroads. Whether the courts will
permit them to stand is another ques-
ton.
The reciprocal demurrage bill, which
occupied so much attention two years
ago, has come into the limelight again
and the house has endorsed a very
radical bill on the subject. 1t led to
a pretty violent debate, but the senti-
ment was very strong in it's favor.
The senate will not be so violent
when it reaches that body, but it is
fair to assume and presume that this

Six Per Cent on Gross Earnings.
Representative Spooner has offered
bill imposing a tax of per cent on
the gross earnings of the railroads.
This shows the tendency of the times.
1t is not very likely that a per cent
tax will pass, and still there are a
great many who favor it. The rail-
roads are not alone in this matter
either. A drastic bill has been intro
duced in the house regulating the
taxation upon express and telephone
companies; in fact, this seems to be
poor year for corporations. Then,
another bill has been introduced with
which l wish to express a decided
sympathy. At present, when a rail-
road employe or citizen is killed, the
utmost penalty which can be inflicted
upon the corporation is $4,000. A bill
is now pending which removes that
$4,000 limit When employees are in
Jured they may secure damages ac-
cording to their injuries, some times
as high as $4,000 or $4,000 or even
more. but if they simply lost their

GRESS ON HOW TO VOTE.
Senator Sageng's Memorial on the
Ship Subsidy Bill Deseated-RaiI.
road Legislation Still Occupies First
Place With the Lawmakers.
st. Paul, Feb. 11.-Last week was
quite d reform week without much
actual reform being accomplished. but
thar is why we are reformers, and
still. the Populist party has been
turned to the wall quite bodily. The
time was when the Populist party
was quite dominant factor in legis-
lation and it once held the balance of
power in the Minnesota legislature.
Now the whole Populist party is COM
prised in one individual, Senator
Sageng of Otter Tail county. | mean
the Populist party in the legislature,
because I presume there is a good
deal more of him roaming about some
where else. Senator Sageng offered a
the Minnesota members of congress to
vote against the bill pending in con-
gress for a ship subsidy. This has
been a much mooted question for
many years and led to long debate
in the senate one day last week
About the strongest argument urged
was that we sent people to congress
supposedly because they were compe-
tent to discharge their duties and that
the legislature did not really know any
more than they did. One senator
argued that if the delegation of Min
nesota would get together down in
Washington and pass resolutions tell
ing the legislature how to vote that
the legislature would rise in it's might
and tell them to mind their own bust
ness. In fact, the whole argument
created the impression that it was
rather an unpopular proceeding for
the legislature to sit. in Judgment upon
the work which the delegation in con-
gress ought to do.
Sageng's Resolution Defeated.
There have been number of these
memorials and joint resolutions Of
fered this winter instructing our dele
cation at Washington, but they will
not be SO popular in the future 1t
has begun to dawn upon the legisla-
ture that possibly the men sent to
themselves and that all wisdom does
not begin and end with the legisla-
ture. At all events the Populist party
lost in the encounter and the resolu
ton asking our delegation to vote
against the ship subsidy bill was de-
feated Senator Sageng is a man who
is very much i'll earnest himself and
really very strong man, but 1t is
quite evident that the day of the Pop
ulist party is over. The Republican
party has stolen all of their thunder
and while it would not admit that it
was Populistic large amount of the
Republican legislation is along the
lines of the once despised P2pulist
crowd.
There has been a good deal of effort
during the past week to put the rail
roads on the gridiron. The question
Of reducing railroad fares to 2 cents
per mile has been much in evidence
One senator said to me, Il think we
might as well make it IL cents per
mile, or 1 cent; as long as we are
fixing the rate let us fix it low
enough" but 1 replied, you really
ought to plan to be fair" ooh, 1 don't
know about that" he said, I'VE are
here to reduce the rates"

another vacancy will be created by
the retirement of Brigadier General

The facts in the case are these:
The subject of the retirement of
General McCaskey was officially decid-
ed upon on October 2 and the following
morning the readers of The Republican
were apprised of that fact as well as
the consequent one that Col. William
P. Duvall had been appointed as his
successor.
There was no mention at all Of Cen
eral Funston, though there had been
some earlier conjecture regarding his
succession to General McCaskey since
he was next in line. However Col.
Duvan was jumped over General Fun
ston. The whole affair though it had
created some commotion in army cir
Giles at the time, had apparently been
forgotten and might never have been

DAN M'DERMOTT OUTS
The CANAL SERVICE
After Sixteen and a Half Years Of
Ditch Riding He Became an Humble
Water User.

After keeping his eye on the gun for
sixteen years and half. Dan McDer-
mott yesterday severed his official
connection with the canal service of
this valley and retired to private life
an honored and respected citizen.
Some people point with pride to
long career of effort which finally
lands them in some official position,
but Mr.. McDermott has done a mighty
good job 10 handle water for sixteen
years in this valley, under the condi-
tions that have prevailed until late
years, and retire to say nothing of
still having friends who respect him.
and he has a host Of them. 1t is quite
likely he has some enemies too but if
he didn't have a few he would have
been a mighty poor water man, too
poor a one to have ever held on six
teen years and a half
There is no intention now of re-
viewing in detail the water troubles of
the past. That ghost has been laid,
ii is believed for all time, but it is
quite creditable to Mr. McDermott to
note that of the army of officials who
have been engaged during the last ten
or fifteen years in making water for
$4,000 acres wet up 100000 acres and
keep them wet, he is one of the few
who have lived through the job and
got out with a whole hide and a cred
liable record. Frank Trott is another
but he had the whole judicial estab-
lishment Of the territory behind him
and even at that he lost some sleep.
Mr.. McDermott began in an humble
capacity with the Arizona Canal COM
pany so long ago nobody remembers
just what it was, and cares less,
though if memory serves 1t was q zan-
jero. Time rolled along until the
Canal Co. found more trouble
on its hands than DeLesseps had with
his Panama ditch, and finally sent w.
b. Cleary out here to do things. He
made a good stab but had to have help
and Mr.. McDermott was made super
intendent. Finally Mr.. Cleary GOT tir-
ed and moved to Bisbee and Mr.. Nc |
Dermort was left to face the music |
He held the fort until the government |
acquired the canal system and took
Mr. McDermott over with it. Since |
then he has continued in a similar ca
pacity under the direction of the gov |
eminent engineers until the present |
time, but he has decided now that il |
is time for him to cut loose and enjoy |
in private life some of the prosperity /
he has been trying to help bring about. |
During all these years he has been
quite extensively in farming |
and has a good ranch few miles west |
Of the city. He had to farm or do |
to make living, for a man
couldn't be expected to get anything
ahead running the canal business on
a salary. Nobody understands farm |
ing any better than he does and now
that he has the opportunity he is GO
ing TO make it speciality. He does not

Officer with his pockets full of guns

II there was any assault, lit was on
the part of the officer who was at
tempting to make an illegal arrest"
In his definition of an assault he said
the question of present ability to do
the threatened injury must appear. Mr..
Lyman in his reply took a parting
shot at the weakness of the defense,
and the personality of the opposing
witnesses. He said the defense had
not even attempted to throw any mud
on Officer Davis" and if what Mr. Da-
Wis testified to was true then the de-
PENDANT was guilty of an assault and
should be made to respect the law.
The doubt arising in some of the
jurors minds. seemed not to be so
much the question of an assault, as
the real seriousness OF the affair.
