|SAM SUTOR IS GETTING
EVEN WITH ''JOBBERS'
Cass Lake Hotel Man Was the Victim
Of a Fake Horse Race, to the
Tune Of 5000. Il

A special telegram from St. Paul
to the Duluth News-Tribune says:
st. Paul. Feb. 20. Samuel Sutor,
of Cass Lake, Mimi, who was one Of
those recently swindled by the gang
recently exposed at Little Rock,
Ark, passed through St. Paul this
evening on his way to Council Bluffs,
where he will appear against ]. c.
Maybray and others who are charged
by the government with perpetrating
the gigantic swindle. Sutor says he
lost $4,000 on fake horse race at
Council Bluffs more than year ago.
Rumor has it that Sutor, who
is a prominent hotel man at Cass
Lake, was taken in to the amount
of not less than $4,000 by the
sharks who have been " getting
nearly every sporting man Of pro
minence in the country.
| =
Sutor has said hut little Of his
floss, but has waited for the easy
money" gentry to cit in limbo; and
he will undoubtedly derive consid
cradle satisfaction in testifying a
to how they got lis money tanc
thereby assist in sending the con
. ners" to the penithtiary.
sutor is we'll known in Bemidii
and it is hoped hire that he vii
be able not only q assist IL send
ling the swindlers Jail, but that b.
will also get bacl some Of hi
| money.

FLORIDA PRODUCTS IN
new YORK MARKETS

The lighter receipts of Florida pro-
ducts have put a firm tone to the market
with the exception of lettuce and celery
of which the receipts are quite heavy.
The quality of the lettuce coming is
mostly poor and prices range from 81. 30
to $3.50, with the fancy stock bringing
the outside figure. The prices on Gel
cry range about the same.
Oranges sold at So to So so, with the
Indian river fruit of the pineapple vari-
ETY. bringing from S2.75 to 1925. The
receipts Of Indian river oranges are be-
coming heavier, especially of fancy
marks, and they are selling at 81 to 50,
with the outside figure on top.
Tangerines brought $3.50 to So per
strap. :.
The lighter receipts of grapefruit
have advanced the prices over last
weeks quotations and the range was
very wide. Last week the average
stock brought from 81. so to So. This
week on the street grapefruit brought
from $3.50 to So, with the very good
quality bringing as high as $3.50.
The pineapple market was very firm

Strawberries that are coming in re-

owning 9l,200 acres; The Model Land
Co., owning ll7,000 acres; The Florida
East Coast Railway Co., owning 81,
900 acres.
All of these lands are assessed five
cents per acre as drainage tax by the
Act of the Legislature of 1907. The
suits which have just been decided in
favor of the State prayed for perpetual
injunctions against the collection Of the
tax, and had the effect of delaying the
collection of the drainage tax over the
entire district of 100000 acres,
amounting to 100000 per annum for
the years 1907 and 1908.
This decision probably terminates
some of the most important litigation
that the State has eyer had In che
early part of Governor Broward's adj
ministration, the title to the lands of
the Internal Improvement Fund seemed
to be in question. Ex-Governor Jen-
nings advised the enactment of law
making an acreage assessment upon
the lands to be benefited, without re-
gard to it's ownership, so that in the
event the State should lose any part of
the lands, or was forced to sell lands at
small figure to carry on the drainage
work, that the lands being benefited by
the drainage should share in the bur-
den, and he prepared the original act as
passed by the Legislature in 1905, which
was afterwards attacked by the land
companies, and Judge Locke held that
the law was unconstitutional.
Ex-Governor Jennings, as counsel for
the Board of Drainage Commissioners,
then recommended amendments to the
law, advising that the Legislature had
power to enact such an acreage tax,
and he drafted a bill that was after.
wards passed by the Legislature of
1907 and became a law, under which the
land companies again instituted suits
to enjoin the collection of the tax, and
have the law declared unconstitutional,
which application was denied, and the
suits dismissed by Judge Locke.
Ex-Governor Jennings is being warm
ly congratulated upon the result OF SO
many years of special effort and great
labor. The immensely of the victory
for the State will be realized when it
is considered that there are already
due and payable over $500, 900 of drain
age taxes under this law. which will be

the matter of cooperating with me in
bringing necessary legislation to my
attention before the converting of the
legislature. In response to this ad-
dress, l have had several letters, also
personal communication with some of
our citizens along the line indicated. |
understand that there are others who
are contemplating legislation, and that
some bills will be drawn and that | will
be asked to introduce them. In this
connection | wish to say that it must
be remembered that am not lawyer,
to be able, at glance, to understand a
bill, having had no experience, and that
as it is important to get bills introduced
as early as possible after the conven-
ing of the legislature, / must urge that
those desiring bills presented, get them
in shape at once, so that can confer
with those drawing them, and get
full understanding of the merits OF
same, for | cannot do justice to myself,
nor the citizens of the county in pre-.
senting or refusing to present a bill
which is presented to me when there
is no time to consider them. Bills of
this nature are often rushed through
the last days of a legislative session,
with the result that many of them are
found to be defective and discyedit to
the member who introduced them and
on the legislature that passed them;
Past experience along these lines should
be a guard against a continual repeti.

prac lice, w. R. HARDEE.
