FRANK PINTO ls the name given
by a Hibbing unfortunate who was
shipped by the west end authorities
to Duluth for treatment after having
been held up and filled full of lead,
Pinto presenting an appearance
upon his arrival in Duluth that
elected the sympathy OF the police
of the head of the lakes. He was
nearly dead upon his arrival in Du-
luth, unattended and unanuounced,
and as he staggered into the depot
covered with blood and suffering
from three bullet wounds he was
taken in charge by the police and
sent to hospital. Perhaps the Hib-
bing authorities have the right line
on getting rid of those who are
wounded in hold-up games, but the
method is not one which, when fully
realized, is destined to appeal to the
merciful.

In connection with the discussion
which has been brought up by the
range press relative a more equit-
able distribution of the county road
fund, what would be the matter with
rule to have such fund divided
prorata according to the size of the
commissioner districts. This might
keep few dollars of the taxes paid
by the ranges in the range districts,
where they rightly belong.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has brand
ed the editors of the New York Sun
and the Indianapolis News as"liars"
and the scribes do not take kindly
to the Presidents plain manner of
stating things. And it is more than
likely that the President of this
great republic will find that he is
not fighting bears before the irate
quill pushers get through talking
to him and of him.
IN his last message to Congress,
l
President Roosevelt voices one
sentiment that will meet with the
unqualified approval of Judge
Carey, of the local municipal court
The President asserts that, "Begin.
ming with the supreme court, the
judges should have their salaries
doubled" Such course would
make of the local mill of justice a
fair job, considering the fact that
the city now pays the incumbent a
salary of $24OO per annum.
The range organization of civic
leagues will ask the State Anti.
Saloon League to assist in the work
of cleansing the ranges by sending
a representative to this section for
the purpose of organizing branches
in the various range municipalities
Many there are on the ranges who
do not object to the saloon but who
do object to the idea of having
the saloon run without regard to
law and run the political policies OF
the communities, or try to do 80, as
we'll.

nothing was heard of this mode of
taxation until J. J. Hill had disposed
of his ore land holdings to the steel
trust" The Times man, if he will
get the "dope" out of his system
and study the question for about

tonnage tax was first introduced in
the Minnesota legislature in 1897,
while the Hill ore lands were not

UNDER recent instructions from
the general land Office timber and
stone filings will be temporarily
abandoned, although for what Dur.
pose is not definitely stated, the in
structions coming by wire. 1t is
thought likely, however, that the
act means the future sale of govern
ment lands sought under the stone
and timber act by appraised valua-
ton, a new regulation promulgated
by the general land office 80 amend
ing the stone and timbe act of June
3, 1878, as to provide that tim Der and
stone lands shall be sold at a mini.
mum of $3.50 per acre, necessitating
an appraisal of value in future be.
fore lands are proven and patented.
Heretofore flat rate of $3.50 Der
acre has been maintained, but under
the new ruling the remaining lands
will likely bring much higher
figures, although the choice lots are
gone.
