JAMES III. JAMES
Another of Ely's Oldest Set
tiers Passes Away

James H. James, more Familiarity
known as Jimmy" James, died in
Chicago Tuesday morning at an
early hour. He had been i'll for
some time and his demise was not
unexpected, during the last two
months having grown constantly
worse. VIM. 7. James, of this
city, brother, was in constant at
tendance at his bedside for several
weeks preceding death.
James H. James was an active
mining man in every sense that the
word active" signifies. He was
interested in many ventures on the
Minnesota and Michigan ranges
and also in several propositions in
the west and south. For some
time preceding his death he was
devoting his energies in behalf of
the Jones smelling and furnace pro-
position at Iron Mountain, Mich.
in which he was heavily interested.
Mr.. James was born in Upper
Michigan and was a little more
than fifty years of age. He is sur
vived by his wife, two brothers,
VIM. T., of this city, Houghton,
of Duluth, and one sister, Miss
Sarah, of Duluth. He came to Du-
1uth when iron was first shown on

roads, inheritances, and gross earn
ings taxes on insurance companies
and other corporations, would sup
port the state government without
any direct tax on the pupose on
other property of the state. Nor
would such a tax be oppressive on
the mining industry. Minnesota
ore is all shipped out and becomes
part of the worlds commerce.
Such tax would simply increase
the cost of production and advance
the price that much in the world S
market. This is the kind of ton
mage tax that was attempted at the
last session of the legislature by the
bills introduced by Representatives
Bjorge and Jefferson, which l help
ed them draw. Its passage was
urged on the theory that the wide
open tax amendment had been
adopted, and that the contest of the
vote thereon would not be success
full. The courts of Duluth has
since decided in favor of the con-
testants, holding that the wide OPP
en- tax amendment was not adopted
two years ago, the question is now
in the supreme court, and If the
court below is upheld, no such ton
mage tax can be enacted until the
constitution is amended.

the Vermilion range. Previous to
his coming to Duluth, he was in
strumental in opening up the fa-
nous Norrie mine on the Gogebic
range after several had turned it
down and after large sums had been
sunk in what seemed a fruitless
search. When those interested
were about to give up, Mr.. James
brought his well known ability and
hustling qualities into the game
and showed up the ore which has
since made the Norrie one of the
foremost mines of the mining dis
tricts.
He was one of the discoveries of
ore at the Chandler mine and for
many years owned a part of this
property.
He has since been interested in
many mining ventures in various
parts of the United States and Mex
leo. He was active up to the time
his illness became serious and it
was then that he reluctantly decid-
ed to quit and take much needed
rest.
He was we'll known on this range
and in Duluth and many are left to
cherish the memory of true friend.

Struggle for Claim

The case of Mikko Hivanen,
against the State of Minnesota, the
Duluth & Iron Range and the Iron
Queen Mining company was heard
before Judge Dibel in District court
in Duluth early this week. Hivan-
en- is fighting the three to retain
possession of his homestead upon
which he settled years ago. The
land is located on the White Iron
road.
He is a naturalized citizen of the
United States, and made a home
stead entry on his land Aug. IS,
1900, in the Duluth United States
land office. He cannot spe-S the
English language. He intended to
live on his farm and he built barns,
stables, bath house and a dwell
ing and cleared several acres. He
sought to make final proof on the
land before the commissioner in this
city some time ago and the papers
were sent to the Duluth office.
An inspector, detailed to investi-
gate the filing, reported that Hiv-
amen had complied with the home
stead act. On May 10. 1906, how
ever, he was informed that his
proof had been rejected by reason
of the states claim to the land un-
der the national swamp act and
grant. He alleges that the state
instituted a pretended contest III
1901 without his knowledge. He
denies that any part of the land
ever necessitated drainage, that it
never came within the province of
the swamp act, and that the state
cannot legally hold title to it.
The Duluth & Iron Range claims
to have acquired the land by reason
of the state grant to that railroad
It took possession of the farm, ac-
cording to Hivanen, without his
knowledge. The Iron Queen Min
ing company obtained right from
the state to explore the farm fo1
iron ore. 1t put down test pits, he
says, which it did not properly COW
er or fence in, so that Hivanen S
children and his cattle were not
protected from possible accidents.
The company left boxes of powder
near Hivanen's home, endangerine
the lives of his little ones, he claims
The company also cut timber from
the farm, he alleges, and damaged
the cleared land by its operations.
Hivanen asks that the patent on
the farm from the United States to
the State of Minnesota, the deed to
the Iron Range railroad and the
mining permit from the state to the
Iron Queen company be set aside
and that the mining company be
restrained from interfering with
Hivanen's possessions. He seeks
such damages as the court may
deem proper to bestow.

PANAMA PROBE
Held IN secret

Paris. July 22.-The rogatory Pan
anna canal commission, composed of
Henry A. Wise, United States attorney
at New York. and Stuart Mcnamara,
assistant United States attorney for
the District OF Columbia. has begun
the taking of testimony of voluntary
witnesses in a room at the American
embassy. which was placed at it's dis
posal by Ambassador White.
The commission came to Paris early
this month to obtain testimony in the
Panama libel cases. BY an agreement
between counsel of both sides the sit
tings are In secret, and no statement
regarding the nature of the evidence
submitted can be secured for publica-
ton
Beyond this voluntary testimony,
nothing Is likely to be obtained, as the
idea of appealing to the French gov
ernment for an examination of the
records has been practically aban-
dorfed.

M'CUMBER BILL
STEVENS OF MINNESOTA WANTS
AGRICULTURAL EXPERTS TO
DECIDE THE WHEAT DRAW
BACK QUESTION.

Washington, July 22.-Upon repre-
sentations of Representatives Stevens
Minnesota, Chairman Payne of t &
house committee ON ways and means
will urge upon the tariff conferees the
advisability of referring the McCum-
Der drawback amendment to the de-
partment of agriculture for final de-
cision.
Senator McCumber contends that
the present drawback law depreciates
the value of wheat. Stevens contends
that it is a decided advantage to the
farmer as it actually raises the prices
of that product.
81 am willing to let the experts at
the department of agriculture decide
the question" he said, "and think
that Senator McCumber should join
with me-"
If the decision is against him, he
said, he will consider the matter as
a closed incident but insists that
North Dakota should take like view.

The train was going at rapid

the result. The train was brought to

Washington, July 22.--In DISCUSSING
today with various of his. callers. the
results OF last nights tariff dinner III
the White House, President Taft ex-
pressed himself as entirely satisfied
The president declared with reference
to the placing of raw materials on the
free list, especially hides, that his chief
interest now lay In finding out what
could be done with reference to the
manufactured products. The wash
ington senator's who are fighting the
proposition to put hides on the free

have change made in the manufac.
tured goods schedule to offset anv con
cession they may have to make with
regard to duty on hides.

The White House Dinner.
Washington, July 22.-The White
House dinner and conference at which
the tariff cOnferees and the presidents
closest advisers were brought together
last night In an effort to settle the
differences regarding the tariff bill,
ended at 11.3O o'clock with the dis
putes over raw materials no nearer
adjustment than they were before the
dinner invitations were issued.
Only one question was determined
beyond appeal and that was that the
conferees will have to settle their own
differences. Pains were taken, how
ever, TO convey the, impression that
this decision Is not Indicative OF any
absence OF appreciation of the presi-
dents efforts. 1t merely confirms
what the "elder statement" had as
serted from the first--rfaI tariff MAX
ing Is trading, and the shrewdest
dealer and the strongest section is
bound to get the best of -lle argument.
That this truisn Is responsible for the
insurgent movement in the house and
senate and the party revolt In the
MIDDLE western states does not alter
the situation. Apparently the presi-
dent realized that the time had not
arrived to call for a decision on the
gAaajeAA OF raw materials,
