ST. PAUL LETTER.
From first page

Mr.. Jacobson are disposed to be
friendly to Mr.. Lee. 1t is to be
noted that all this spells trouble for
the party organization as at present
constituted, which is dominated by
certain well-known twin city poll
ticians, whose policy is rather to
eyade than to meet issues, and who
are believed to represent certain in
terests which in the last two cam
paigns have had much to do with
shaping Republican policies. and de-
feat which followed.
Despite their efforts, however, the
tonnage issue persists in obtrudlng
itself. The discrepancy in the total
rate of taxation paid by the iron in
terests compared with that paid by
the farmers and business men in
less favored localities persists in OBJ
truding itself. The statement made,
that whereas the iron interests pay
a tax on a low valuation approx
mating ten mills on a dollar, where
as the average rate throughout the
State approximate twenty-six mills
has never been successfully contro-
verted and cannot be, and it sticks
in the crop of taxpayers compelled
to pay a higher rate. These figures
of course, vary from year to year,
but the proportion of one to the
other is approximately constant.
For instance, the superintendent
at Chisholm is paid 81 800 year; at
Hibbing, $500; at Virginia. $1,000.
High school teachers at Chisholm are
rid from $3.50 to $1,000; grade
teachers from $3.50 to $780, High
school teachers are paid at Hibbing
from SIT to S1,157; grade teachers
from S625 to $3.50. At Virginia high
school teachers are paid from $500
to $1,000; grade teachers from $500 to
$3.50. At Mortified these salaries
are; Superintendent, 81, 700, high
school teachers, $685. to $1,000, grade
teachers, $405 to $3.50. 1t will thus
be seen that the range schools are
we'll supported. What does it cost
the taxpayers? The rate Of the spe-
cial school tax is given below in
mills for three range towns and
three towns in southern Minnesota
for purposes of comparison.

The Merchants Association received
bad news in the Mongolias mail re-
garding the proposal to have one or
more of Admiral Sebree's ships stop
here for the floral parade on February
%. The department refuses the re-
quest, giving as a reason that the
change of admirals at about that time
will nike it desirable to have the fleet
together in battle formation at San
Francisco. This seems to be the old
and unaltered plan of the department,
as well as the wish of Admiral Sebree.
The Merchants Association will not
let go there however There are a
number of vessels along the Coast
which are not attached to the big
cruiser fleet, and it is thought that
the presence of one or more of these
may be secured. At any rate, a try
will be made for it.

airy next, and have taken the subject
up with the Navy Department as re-
quested.
"The Navy officials say that it will be
impossible to grant the request in this
instance, owing to the fact that it is
necessary to have the fleet at San Fran
cisco for a change of commanders on
February goth.
"Inasmuich as the Department feel
that no change could be made with
out interfering with the good of the
service, there seems no likelihood that
your wishes can be met in this case

more favorable word in this instance

DRUG CLERK DECEIVED ey
THIRSTY DETECTIVE

yer.aillion, S. D., Nov. 3.-Walter
johnson. the detective who succeeded
in causing the arrest of Joe Devine at
Wakonda on a charge of illegal liquor
selling, left for parts unknown the
latter part OF last week. He will re-
turn this week to testify in case
wherein r. d. Waterman, q local drug
asist, iss the defendant.
While hanging around town last
week. the detective dropped into the
Waterman drug store and called for a
glass OF cocoa cola, and asked the clerk
who served him IL he couldn't put q
stick" in 1t. The clerk refused and
informed the detective that 1t was
strictly against the orders to sell liquor
to anyone. But the detective was not
to be put off that easy. He engaged
the clerk in conversation, which finally
drifted to places and events in Minne-
apo!is The drug clerk, apparently
hankering for news from dear old
Minneapolis. became quite interested
in the detectives narrative and finally
asked bis new friend behind the pre-
scription counter. where, according to
the detectives story, they took drink.
Later the stranger ordered another, and
then, to get away strong with the
evidence he was after, purchased q
bottle of whiskey. Mr.. Waterman was
absent in Sioux City at the time of the
occurrence.
The case will come up in the ad-
51ourned session of court which will sit
here this week beginning tomorrow.
