that the sun never sets on our domin-

else of equal Importance. The Pennsyl-

AS TO RAILROAD CROSSING.
Status of Case Between Union Pacific
and Bamberger Road.

There is speculation i'm Ogden as to the
status OF the case between the Salt Lake
q Ogden company and the Union Pa
cific regarding the overhead crossing for
the BambergeT line in this city. More
than year ago Simon Bamberger entered
the courts here TO secure q right Of way
over the Union Pacific. He was granted
q surface crossing by Judge J. A. Howell
after long contest on condition that he
would have an overhead crossing built
within a year. The order for the grade
crossing was issued June 70 and since
that time the Bamberger trains have been
crossing the Union Pacific at grade in the
southwestern part Of the city. But the
overhead crossing is not yet built, and
there is no prospect at this time that it
viii be built i'm the near future. at least
not until after the permanent bridge over
the Weber river is built. and that has not
yet been started. Inquiries here brought
to light the fact that the court had grant
ed no extension of time. and that # there
has been an extension it has been brought
about ia a meeting of the attorneys for
the companies interested.

Fire Loss Adjusted.

The insurance companies, through
their local agents, have settled with
the Benton County State Bank for
the damages recently sustained by
fire in the buildings south of the
Markham hotel.
H. w. Stevenson of Minneapolis,
adjustor for the Prussian National,
the Jerrard and the Spring Garden
Insurance companies, was in Bemidji
this week and paid the Benton
County State Bank $1,000 on the
frame building known as the Town
Market, $500 on the brick building
occupied by the Reed Studio and
$500 on the former residence Of John
Spillet.'
J. F. Wolf of Moorhead, the ad-
justor for the Security Insurance
company, settled with Crippen &
Reese, of the Reed Studio, for 5000
as compensation for their loss in the
fire. The Detroit Fire & Marine
and the Calumet Insurance COM
panies had $4,000 insurance on the
printing plant located in the same
building and allowed the firm rs.
Phibbs & Klein were the agents for
most of the above companies.

acres were cleared on that farm, the
dynamite costing $4,000, or $40 per
acre, and that by buying in large
quantities at wholesale he was able
to get the explosive at 12H cents
per pound. Advocates of the meas
ure figured that if the state would
buy in still larger quantities, as the
bill proposes, it could probably get
it to settlers at cents per pound
or less, which would be of enormous
help to the settlers who are trying
to wrest productive farms away from
the stumps.
Talks in favor of the bill were
made by State Auditor Iverson, John
c.. Williams Of Duluth, C. S. Mitchell
of Duluth, ]. H. Beck, secretary of
the St. Paul jobbers' union, Charles
S. Carter of Hines, and by L, G.
Townsend, DR.. D. H. Monahan and
Gus Gustafson of Blackduck, the
latter three composing comittee from
the Blackjack Commercial club.
The bill came originally from Mr..
Carter, who for his advocacy of such
measure is known throughout
Northern Minnesota as Dynamite"
Garter.
There being legal objection to
the bill, substitute has been pre-
pared which will, if the project re-
ceives the support of the committee,
be sent in as committee bill"

Whether the jurors and witnesses
at this term of court will be able to
cash their warrants here is not known
yet. County Treasurer French left
for St. Cloud, not intending to return
until Monday night, and it is not
known here whether he will cash the
warrants for court expenses or con-
slider them the same as the other
county warrants on most of which
the county is from three to five years
in arrears.
The officials of the First National
and Lumbermen's National Banks
of this city stated this morning that
unless the warrants for court expen-
ses are issued with the intention of
their being paid Immediately after
the March settlements they will con.
slider these the same as other county
warrants, which they are refusing
to cash at the present time.
When Judge Stanton was ques-
toned this morning in regard to
the above matter, he stated that
the judges of the district court have
conferred and that they hope that
some way may be devised by which
the jurors and witnesses at this term
of court may secure cash for their
warrants, but the judges have decided
that court must be held here regard.

CHEAP DYNAMITE BILL
WOULD BE 4 GREAT AID
Bill Is Now Before the House Committee on State Lands;
Many Prominent Men are Supporting the MEASURE
Legal Substitute Is Prepared.

A special telegram to the Duluth
Evening Herald tells thusly Of the
hearing which was held Thursday in
the committee which is considering
the dynamite, bill which Representa-
tive Opsahl has introduced, at the
suggestion of Dynamite Charles"
Carter of Hines:
The bill providing that the state
shall help settlers upon cut-over
lands in Northern Minnesota by get
ting dynamite for stump eradication
for them as cheaply as possible, was
given hearing yesterday afternoon
before the house committee on public
lands, and judging from the senti-
ment as informally expressed at the
meeting, the measure is likely to
secure favorable report.
I It provides for the creation of a
revolving fund, starting with an ap-
preparation of 100000, to be used
in buying dynamite to be sold at
cost to settlers. It was shown at
the meeting that the retail price of
dynamite runs from 10 to rs cents
per pound, and that the wholesale
price to small retailers is about 10
cents per pound.
To prove what can be done by
buying in large quantities. John G..
Williams of the Jean Duluth farm
at Duluth, stated that last year ESQ
