TRUE MONUMENT TO DICKENS
Found In His immortal Writings, Says
London Journal.

Whether a statue should be erected
to Dickens is the subject of an inter
esting article in the London Spectator.
The writer in the course of his brows-
ing quotes from Micawber and says:
Every reader of Dickens, of course,
Will be able to match his favorite pas
sages against ours. The enthusiasm
with which such competitions are oft
en- conducted is the truest proof of the
solace-We do not use too strong
word-which such memories bring in
time of vexation, dullness or grief. And
in them-whichever they may be-de-
tached as they are and properly should
be, but complete and memorable in
themselves, the true monument to
Dickens is to be found"
The monument to Dickens was
erected by himself. His characters
live forever, for they are human in
their nature, and we have all seen
them. One remembers more of David
Copperfield, or Little Nell, or Barkis,
or Little Dorrit, or Pegotty, or Sam
uel Weller, than Of the others, perhaps,
but where is there reader of Dickens
who has not fixed in his memory at
least one OF his characters?

National Forest Returns TO States

A recent bulletin by the forest service
says that during the last fiscal year
ending June 30, the United States
Forest Service issued to settlers in the
neighborhood of National Forests in
western states over 3d. free use'
permits, under which the settlers re-
ceived free about 264, OCO, cords of fire
wood, posts. poles and sawlOgs worth
1860, 800, or about "a cents per cord in
the forest-a low valuation.
Besides this. the different states
received for school and road purposes
90 per cent of the income from the
National Forests amounting last year to
$447, 0G4 The direct return to the
states in lieu of taxes on the lat million
acres, the estimated area of unpatented
leAld in the National Forests, amounted
then in the last year to $61G, 1884 in cash
and free use" timber
In 1907, the total of free use"
material and money paid over amounted
to about $3.50, 400. The increase Of the
amount given to the states from 10 per
cent to % per cent of course is largely
responsible for the large return in 1908,
but even had this percentage not been
changed a good increase would have
been shown, despite the decentralization
Of the lumber business caused by the
financial furry. In fact, this increase
may he looked for up to many times the
present amount as the demand for
timber increases and the forests are
developed more and more

NELSON FLAWS STEEL TRUsE.
Makes ForcefuI Assault Upon the
Gigantic Steel Monopoly.

WAKES FoTCeIui Assault upon the
Gigantic Steel Monopoly.
Washington, May Is. = Declaring
that the iron and steel industry of
Minnesota needs no protection, and
that the supply of ore has passed into
the hands of the steel trust, Senator
knute Nelson yesterday attacked that
item of the tariff bill which proposes
a duty of IS cents per ton on iron ore
and which passed the senate Yesterday
afternoon
The greatest body of iron ore in
the country is in Minnesota he said.
"One-half OF the ore produced in the
United States in 1908 came from the
Superior region. This ore needs no
protection. 1t is practically owned by
the steel trust, and is mined by that
organization, operating under other
names in different places.
Control Is Absolute.
This organization, with it's seven
lines of railroad running from the
mines to the lakes, absolutely controls
the mining in that section 1t does
this by making rates SO high that no
independent miner can afford to ship
his ore.
The same interest owns the rail
roads that own the steel trust mines,
and the high freight rates do not hurt
them, but when an Independent miner
opens a mine, he is either forced to
sell or lease to the steel trust, because
he cannot afford to ship his ore over
their lines.
This is the way the steel trust has
gained control of practically all Of the
beds in the state that have been dis
covered SO far. There are in the East
number Of steel manufacturing
plants that have been trying to com
pete with the steel trust | believe
free ore would help them, and | am
willing to place ore on the free list,
though it is one Of the great products
of the state, because l believe it will
assist the independent steel men in
their fight, and | think other senators
ought to be equally generous"
Vote Is 81 to "a.
Just before adjournment the senate
adopted by a vote Of 81 to "a the rec
ommendation of the committee on
finance of duty of rs cents per ton
on iron ore. The house had placed
that article on the free list. while the
present law levies duty on it of 40
cents per ton. In taking this vote
party lines were annihilated, as seven
teen Democrats voted yea with the
Republicans, and twelve Republicans
voted no with the Democrats.

TIGHT LID PUT ON AT WINONA
New Mayor Adopts Stringent Policy for
Regulation of Saloons and
Slot Machines,

Winona, Mimi, May 16.-Winona's
new mayor, w. E. Hamilton, has
adopted drastic policy. and it is be-
lieved his two-year administration will
be marked with stringent reforms
1t was intimated that the local sa-
looms have not been complying with
the state law regulating closing, and
on Sunday last he issued orders
through the police department calling
for strict compliance, and as a result
the city experienced the dryest Sab
bath in many years. Following close
ly upon the heels of the first order
the police department last night is
sued notice that after today all Slot
machines and other gambling devices
must be removed under penalty of ar
rest and prosecution.
The city for years has been run
wide open and the lid clamped on
last night came as a thunderbolt to
saloons, pool rooms, etc.
1t is intimated that other orders
will follow shortly and that Winona
will approach nearer to the blue
laws" than ever before in it's history
