A Skin Game

Complaint has been made to the
officials Of the Duluth land Office that
number Of disreputable locaters are
plying their trade in this district.
The claim is made that they put men
and women on tracts Of land covered
with large punches of timber, while
in reality they are putting them OH
some worthless swamp lands.
Officials Of the Duluth land Office
take pains to warn people against pei
sons whom they know to be dishonest,
but in many cases the would be claim
holder pays no attention 10 the we'll
meant advice. Ii is an easy matter
for locator TO fool The average man
who wants To take up Homestead.
The general public, as rule, knows
absolutely nothing about the lay of
the land, directions or locati ions.
When he is taken out and shown
"a bunch of timber he can be
handed any kind-of description and
cannot say whether il is right or
wrong. In some cases three or four
men are located on the same claim
and none Of them has the right de-

A TICKLISH
QUESTION
License Bonds Affected by
Decision

The action of the district court in
Overruling the demurrer of William
Carlin to The answer made by County
Auditor Halden in the mandamus pro-
ceedings started to compel the audi
tor to Issue a liquor license to Carin,
has caused quite stir among the
county saloonkeepers whose licenses
ale likely to be affected by the ruling.
The county auditor claimed in his
answer that under the law Carlin's
bnnd was void because the surety
company on IFS bond was on more
han 100 other liquor bonds within the
county, contrary TO statutory provi-
sion. The court sustained his point,
and now The other salOonkeepers, who
comprise the number having the same
surety company on their bonds, are
wondering "wllere they are at.
II the law shall be construed by the
courts to apply to surety companies
as well as individuals who got on
bonds, then the licensees having the
same surety company bonds will be
placed in peculiar position. They
will be running saloons with the per-
mission of the county BOARD. but with
their bonds void their licenses will be
void aud they will have nothing more
Than blind pigs in the eyes of the law
Another interesting feature about
The situation is that if the bonds and
licenses are void and the licensees
have paid their $500 fees to the
county, they are likely TO lose that
amount Whether the county board
could make rebate of $500 in each
case is said to be question. Ii
saloonkeeper whose license has been
found void is compelled to forfeit his
fee Of $500 and put up another $500
fee for a new license. the privilege

DEPORTATION
The Lot of Some of Our
Aliens i'm the Future,

Inspector Dean of The United States
Immigration office was in Milwaukee.
where lie went on official business,
says the Dululh Herald
The object of the visit to the Wis
consin city has not been given out
officially. but it is understood that it
has something to do with the appre-
hension and deportation Of a party Of
anarchists. -
Pulice auiharities. Of Duluth and
the range towt.s. as Well as Those OF
cities and towns Throughout Wisc0n-,
SIN and Minnesota. are Offering their
hearty corporation in the movement
To rid the country Of anarchists in
response To suggestions contained in
an order issued by the department. of
the interior, and il looks as II Mr..
Dean would be rendered every posi-
BILE assistance in matters of this kind
in his territory.
It Is expected the law in regard to
the deportation of anarchists will be
relief upon in several instances the
cunning summer at the different min
ing locations on The Minnesota iron
ranges, where the "reds" occasionally
make their appearance and deliver
infiammatory addresses. Private de-
lecLives in the employ of the several
mining companies. as well as the
police officers of the different towns,
will be continually on the watch for
persons of this character, aud where
ever sufficient excuse is found arrests
will be made, and Mr.. Dean will en-
deavor 10 bring about the deportation
of Lie undesirable citizens. The fact
of the order has been pretty well adj
vertised, and it is expected it will
have a wholesale effect in maintaining
order where foreigners of anarchistic
disposition are concerned.
Additions to the force employed in
the Duluth immigration office during
the past year leave Inspector-in-
Charge Dean more free to cover this
territory In the performance of his
duties, and to keep in close touch with
the situation throughout Minnesota
and Wisconsin. He Is now able to
leave the Duluth office on special mis-
sions without In any manner inter.
fering with the local immigration in

The Diamond,

Writing on "rhe Romance Of the
Diamond" In the North American Re-
view." Sir William Crookes refers TO
the theory advanced by some scientists
that the diamond Is gift from heaven
conveyed to earth in meteoric showers.
and he confesses that the theory Is not
without support His description Of
the Kimberley diamond mines Is inter
estlng The writer says:
"Aiany circumstances point to tie
conclusion that the diamond OF the
chemist and the diamond of the mine
are strangely akin as TO origin. II is
evident that the diamond has not been
formed IN stu In the blue ground
have taken place at vast depths under
enormous pressure. The explosion OF
large diamonds on coming to the sur
face shows extreme tension. More dla-
monds are found in fragments and
splinters than In perfect crystals and
II Is noteworthy that. although these
spinters and fragments must be de-
rived from the breaking up Of n large
crystal. yet IN only one instance have
pieces been found which could be fitted
together. and these occurred at differ.
ent levels Does not this fact point to
the conclusion that the biue ground Is
not their true matrix? Nature does not
make fragments Of crystals As the
edges OF the crystals are still sharp and
unabraded. the locus Of formation can
not have been very distant from the
present sites. There were probably
