The Re-apportionment

The disposition on the
part of the convention &c
reconsider the legislative ap
portionment shows that the
Democratic party, after the
honest decision of the Re
publican Supreme Judges, Is
anxious to do the right
thing. We have never heard
any Democratic paper say
that the legislative districts
were planned so as to give
the Republican party any
advantage, but we have al
ways believed that where the
democratic majority was so
evident it would be incon-
ceivable folly to apportion
in the manner that thaG fab
ricator of lies, the Guthrie
State Capital, has been rep
resenting. Ii it should be
found that any foaters have
crept in where they possibly
ought not to be, they are
not needed, and can be ell
minated. The Democratic
party desires no unfair adj
vantage, although it must
fight outrageous gerryman-
dering in the election OF
Congressman, and did beat
such an arrangement in the
election Of constitutional
delegates.
Now let those Republicans
who have been beephing
about the Democratic gerry
mander while their own par
" was vilely guilty OF the
offense charged made good.
1t is up to them to show
that their complaint is Just,
and that it is not a bluff put
up by n party that was hard
pushed even for bluffs. The
actions OF the Republicans
during the sessions of the
committee will be a matter
OF interest to all fair minded
persons who are frankly try
ing to decide with which
party they will affiliate.

Gentlemen:
We are somewhat mystified by the
letter of Mr. Vaudeville, published
in your paper and correspondence you
have had with him in regard to our
taking the franchise for street rail-
road system in Chickasha.
Mr.. Vaudeville is somewhat of a
new man with us and this matter has
evidently arisen from his own initia-
tive with the idea that our company
would handle it. We are writing Mr..
Vaudeville today for full information
on this deal We do not make it a
practice Of attempting to handle fran
chises. Our business being more
strictly to sell such equipments for
work Of this kind as may fall within
our lines.
We have therefore wired you as per
copy attached, this being upon your
advice that wire would determine your
action today.
Very truly yours,

Linen Mill Burns.

ST. Paul.-Fire started in a hot box
in card machine at the mill of the
Black Hawk Linen Mill company at
St. Paul Park destroyed the building,
two-story stone structure. The fire
entailed a heavy loss on machinery
and stock and threw fifty people out
of employment.
The flames spread from the card to
some tow and then ran to the eleva-
tor shaft, soon spreading to all parts
of the building. All efforts to check
the fire were useless, and the build
ing was soon doomed. The mill had
been recently overhauled and had
been running only a few days. The
building and stock were insured.

Found Ancient Anchor.

Crookston.-While ditching on land
OF the Crookston School of Agricul-
ture Contractors Brown and Youn-
gren found six feet below the surface
an anchor similar to the ship anchors
used by the Norsemen about nine
centuries ago. Mr.. Brown, who was
formerly a Norwegian sailor in the
old country, at once recognized it as
OF the type which he has seen handed
down as heirlooms in his native land.
The ditch was being dug on sod
that had never been broken, and
there seems to be no question but
what the anchor has been in there
for centuries. It is in fairly good
state of preservation, though rr1sted.
1t is believed to be relic of some of
the very earliest Morse exploration
voyages, and was lost here in the era
that the entire Red river valley was
a portion of Lake Winnipeg, and
when ships could sail from the Allan
tic to this section of the country.
