The report made recently that the

change from live steam heat to exhaust
steam and that consequently all the

off for time. The condition that re-
suited apparently was unavoidable

ASSETS OF STANDARD OIL
Attorney Mi:ourn Offers Explanation
of Phenomenal Growth,

St. Louis, April 9.-Attorney Mil.
burn, head of the array of lawyers of
the Standard Oil company, resumed
his argument in the governments dis
solution suit. The four judges of the
United States circuit court, sitting en-
banc, are following the noted lawyers
address with marked attention and
PROFOUND many questions to him when
his meaning is not quite clear to them.
His answer, however, seems always
ready and apt.
The attorney pointed out that the
fundamental fallacy in the govern
ment's position was that it failed in
any way to recognize the enormous
cumulative effect of compound inter
est.
Taking as a basic proposition that
the properties of the Standard in 1882
were worth $70,OO0O0O, as, testified
to by Mr. Archbo1d, the attorney
quoted from a table to show that,
compounded at per cent from 1882
to 1906, the original $7O,O00,OO0 would
reach the very comfortable amount of
1856, 065,6S6.74 Assuming that this
per cent had been added to the cap
ital, irrespective of dividends, Mr..
Milburn suggested it might, in way,
explain the rapid and apparently phe-
nomenal growth of the Standards
assets. "It's but a matter of a pen
Gil, a bit Of paper and a schoolboy to
figure it out-no lawyer is required"
added Mr. Milburn.

FARRIS LAFH MILL is
TO START next MONDAY
T. H. Mackey, Owner of the Original
ToWnslte of Farris, Was in the {
City Yesterday.

The lath mill at Farris will resume
making lath next Monday, when the
mill will be started on the usual
seasons grind" So says T. H.
Mackay of Farris, owner of the mill,
who was a visitor in Bemidji yester-
day. Mr.. Mackey says that he
has sent some of the machinery to
Crookston for repairs, and will have
the parts back at Farris in time to
start running Monday.
The Farris lath mill has capa-
city for the manufacture of $4,000
lath per day Of ten hours run. The
lath turned out by this mill is of a
superior quality, and Mr.. Mackey
states that there is fairly good de-
mand for the output. There is an
abundance of raw material" for
the mill, there being hundreds of
acres of jack pine timper adjacent
to Farris, jack pine being the timber
from which the lath are made.
Mr. Mackey owns about 700
acres of land around Farris, among
his holdings being the old original
townsite of the Village of Farris,
which Mr.. Mackey purchased of
J. w. Wheeler of Crookston. Time
was, some nine years ago, when
Farris was headquarters for the
extensive logging operations of S. C.
Bagley, known as the Duke OF
Clearwater" R. E. White and others,
and the town was one Of the tough
est propositions in the state, at
that time. Gambling fourished
openly, and street fights were com.
mon. Conditions changed with the
exit of the logger and the lumber
jack,'' and Farris soon became a
very tame" place, until today there
are but few inhabitants and peace
and harmony prevailing where once
the naughty knight of the saw and
ak held monarchial sway.
Mr.. Mackey has been very sue
cessful in raising sheep, and he
claims that he has found the animals
the very best cleaners of brush anc

Senate May Tax Iron Ore.

Washington, April 9-The present
intention of the senate committee on
finance is to place a duty of 20 cents
per ton on iron ore. Under the Ding
ley law iron ore is dutiable at 40
cents per ton, while the Payne bill
puts it on the free list. The decision
of the senate committee is in the ma
ture of a compromise and was brought
about by the insistence Of Senator
Burrows and his colleague, Senator
William Alden Smith.
