The Transcript editor got so excited
when he learned of Mark Murphy's 8
quitting the republican county com.
mittee and the general dumpy feeling
among the Fuller push, as well as the
revelation as to the authorship of the
circular which spiked Fuller, that he
has been in frenzied condition ever
since. His 'ishoo'' has fallen as fiat
as his issue last spring. So he says
that the Herald IS attacking the city g
chief industry. So far as the Water
Power Co. is concerned, the manager
of the company was shown the article
PUBLISHED last week Excepting last
paragraph, relating to the Transcript
and not to the company matter and
Manager Gordon approved the article.
The Transcript claims that their
article correcting The Herald
article, was PUBLISHED as furnished by
the Water Power Co. Manager Cor
don stated to us differently. Know
ing the transcripts reputation of
veracity, we are inclined to believe
Mr.. Gordon.
The Transcript editor has been 80
long subservient tool of corporations,
and particularly so when serving in
the legislature, that he rushes to q
defense unnecessary and uncalled for.
In the days when the public utility
corporations of this city, under 8
different management than now,
Systematically lnterfered in. the
politics Of thecity and Fuller was the
chief disbuIser Of the corruption fund,
The Herald did attack that system
and has no .0DOlOQieS to make on that
score Manager Gordon has wisely
and properly avoided that sort OF
thing and deserves credit. Fuller pro-
bably regrets the old system. It was
very profitable to HIM.

FOOT BALL PRAC TICf
High School Team Organ
izes and City Team Will
be Gotten Up

The local high school football squad,
which was organized last week, with
Frank Hall as captain, is fastly round.
ing into shape under the guidance O1
Coaches Hoffman and Wetzel. Eight
of last years players are present to
make the team, and the coaches are
well satisfied with the prospects fol
turning out a winning eleven, as there
is fine material IN the recruits who are
trying for positions on the team.
Jos. Deidrich, right half; Gene
Dunphy. left half; Walter Collins,
full back; Cecil Kelley, left end
Clifton Roberts. right tackle; Frank
Hall, quarter back; G. Droskowski,
left tackle, and Harry Meyers, trying
for right end, are all men who played
on last years eleven. The new men
are trying out tor the following posi-
tions.; Victor Butler and Victor
Brannen, center; Frank Kuklinskl,
back field or end position, and Drew
Emo, Jenner Chance, Warren Gordon
and for guard positions.
Thirty plays are being mastered for
the first game of the season, which
will probably be played October 3rd.
The Brainerd high will probably be
taken on for the October 10th game.
The boys are practicing each even
ing. and have been put through
several scrlmmage stunts already.
They will make good team.
A number of local foot ball
enthusiasts are making arrangements
to organize a first-class foot ball
eleven to represent the city during the
foot ball season. An invitation IS ex-
tended to all athletes to come out to
the gridiron in the southeastern part
of the city next Sunday afternoon for
practice work. A first-class SQUAD
will be selected from the material
offered. Enthusiasm is running high
at present over the prospects of such a
squad, and next Sunday will doubt
less see large number of football
players out on the grid1ron to make
the team. When Brainerd was down
here for baseball game with the
Little Falls team during the season
just closed, local parties were in
formed that that city would have a
football squad in the race this year,
and would like to have games with
Little Falls. It is expected that very
little trouble will be had to secure
games, as all the neighboring towns
are organizing squads for the season.

REINDEER IN ALASKA.
More Than 5000 Now Used by the
NatIves-Flfty-Two Public Schools.

More Than $4,000 Now Used by the
Natlves-Flfty-Two Public Schools.
More than 5000 domesticated rein
deer are used by the natives OF Alas
la, according to the report of the Fed
eral Commissioner Of Education, un-
der whose direction the Territorial
reindeer service is administered. The
government began supplying reindeer
to the natives of Alaska In 1892. For
a number OF years $4,000 was appro-
priated for the purpose The amount
expended on this account was recent
ly reduced to $4,000 a year.
During the fiscal year ended June
80, 1907, the Bureau Of Education
maintained ffty-two United States
public schools for natives in Alaska.
Reports have not been received from
four of these schools. In the remain
ing forty.eight the total enrolment
during the year was 2,4sS, and the ay'
erage attendance 1,076.
Plans are being made for progress
siye notifications in the methods en-
ployed In the schools In Alaska, with
a view to rendering the natives bet
ter able to care for themselves. Be.
ginnings have been made in Industrial
training in some Of the schools, as
we'll as in connection with the rein
deer herds, 1t is proposed that the
natives be instructed in the best
methods Of catching and curing fish,
in caring for all parts of the walrus
and whale that are merchantable. in
the handling of wooden boats, in the
tanning and preparing Of skins, in
coal mining and in the elements Of
agriculture.

Land in New York.

The real estate valuation for the
FIVE boroughs of Greater New York is
more than $500, 900 900, and of this
more than $4,000 100000. or nearly
ive-eighths is for land value alone.
These are the figures given out by
President Purdy of the tax department
who says that, in order to give signi-
ficance to these huge figures, the as
sessed value of land alone, exclusive
of improvements, in the city of New
York, is greater than the. assessed val
uation Of ell real estate, improve
ments included with the land, for the
entire state of Pennsylvania, and near
" twice as great as the real estate
valuations in the rest of New York
state. The assessed value Of six
square miles Of Manhattan, nearest
Central Park, exceeds the assessed
value Of all the real estate in the state
Of Missouri. These statements give
some tangible idea Of the land values
in New York. though It must be com
sidered in the comparison that the ac-
tual value and the assessed value are
not the same. and that the variation Is
wider in some states and cities than
In others. There is total Of s1.156.-
346,9O3 in real estate values in New
York exempt from taxation, OF which
about $3.50, 600, 900 belongs to the relig-
ious and charitable organizations, and
nearly sS15.OOO.0OO to the municipality
itself.-W Washington Herald.
