NORTHERN MINNESOTA
READY FOR DEVELOPMENT
Cutover Jack Pine Lands CAME
Made Productive by a Little
Effort.

A. J. Mcclure, superintendent Of
State Farm at Grand Rapids, is an
enthusiastic booster for the farm
lands for northern Minnesota. Mr..
MCGUIRE has lived in this part of
the state for several years and has
had wide experience with the land
of the Iron Range. He addressed
the Development Congress at
Crookston last week and pointed out
that this section was ripe for larger
agricultural development.
Mr.. MCGUIRE said in substance:
AS long as crops grow, farmers can
live in some kind of a way. Scarcity
of farm products in Minnesota and
Dakota, is not theory but a fact,
and this condition is so pronounced
that the hunger line can be noticed
in the cities of the states.
For this there are three reasons
1, Non agricultural nature of soil; 2.
the absence of enough farmers; 8
the lack of the ability of the farmer
The first reason cannot apply tc
northern Minnesota as it is not dis
puted that it has agricultural super.
iority. The Red River Valley j.
less than one third of Northern
Minnesota and has one third of it.

ing stubborn warehouse fire near
the north river front today. The fire
was extingulshed soon after it

Why Progressiyes Voted for
Railroad Bill.
WORST FEATURES CUT OUT
Measure Has Been Radically Amended
Since It Was Reported From Com.
mittee and as Finally Passed Bears
Little Resemblance to the Original.
Progressives Dissatisfied With Sec
ton Creating Court of Commerce.


Washington, June Ga step for
ward" is the explanation made by
many senators of their action in vot-
ing for the senate railroad bill.
That is the reason that close con-
tests on many important amendments
were followed by an overwhelming
vote of SO to IL when it was passed.
It was case OF taking that or moth
ing and the dissatisfied ones decided
to accept the bill for the good it con-
tanned and to hope for the day when
the Objectionable features might be
eliminated by amending the new law.
The creation of court of commerce
which is to be devoted entirely to the
consideration of cases growing out of
the interstate commerce law will be
the hardest to swallow by progressive
senators. Against the court there was
urged:
The claim of lack Of necessity.
That If it had been in existence
during the last three years it would
have been called upon for the trial of
only twenty-eight cases.
THAT its creation would be an IN
constitutional act.
"That it was unwise to place such
tremendous interests as are involved
In the transportation business under
the jurisdiction of a small body of
men. -.
Railroads Will Control Court.
''That In time the railroads with
their great influence would get their
own men on the bench of the court
and that its creation was useless ex-
pense. -
The features of the bill most favor.
able to railroads as it was reported
by the interstate commerce committee
were eliminated before 1t reached the
final vote. These provided for the re-
peal of the Sherman antitrust act to
the extent of permitting railroads to
enter into agreements as to rates, for
the merger of railroads and for the
alleged control by the interstate COM
merce commission of the issue of rail-
road securities.
The latter, said La Toilette, left
open to the railroads six different
ways of issuing watered stock. There
are number of provisions in the SEN
ate and house bills that are Identical
in terms and this cannot be altered by
the conference committee
Expert statesmen have said that
some of these will have a beneficial
effect in keeping freight rates within
bounds, but for the most part they
are clear only to people skilled in the
transportation problem.

c onfes.ion, Of . "HandcuH KING"

Frequenters Of the vaudeville thea
sers and music halls Of America and
Europe have many times been enter
tanned and mystified by an act that
has come to be widely known as the
great handcuff release and prison cell
escape mystery"
The curtain rises and the "handcuff
king Is announced. In the course Of
his Introductory remarks to the audi
ence, he states that he Is but an ordi-
nary human being. but possesses the
power to release himself from any
manacle that any member of the audi
ence wishes to put on him, and that
furthermore, in most cases, he can es-
cape in a shorter time than II takes
. bind him.
His challenge Is forthwith accepted.
and a small delegation of citizens or
police officials, chosen from tn. audi
ence proceeds to lock and secure him
In such a manner that it seems mani
testify impossible for him to free him
self. Yet after disappearing into his
cabinet for few seconds, he reappears
as entirely free from his manacles as
though they had never been locked on
him. All the secrets Of this trick are
exposed in a lengthy illustrated arti-
cle in Popular Mechanics. The arti-
Gle is written by a former "handcuff
king" who explains the ruses by which
he frequently duped the public.

Only Cardinal Who Plays Golf.
From the Westminster Gazette.

Cardinal Merry Del Val, who came
into unpleasant collision with ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Is to some extent a
Londoner, for he was born about 45
years ago In Portman Square, where
his father, descended from the Irish
family of Merry, was secretary to the
Spanish embassy. He also received his
early education in England at a pri-
pensity for playing practical jokes pro-
cured for him the punning nickname
Of Merry Devil" The cardinal-secre-
tary of state is one of the few men,
bers Of the Sacred college who can
speak English with fiuency, and is the
only cardinal who plays golf.

Rail Contracts For the Past Week

New York, Dec. 5.-Operations of
the blast furnaces and finishing mills
of the steel corporation are being
steadily reduced, Indicating that the
new contracts being placed for steel
products are still falling behind cur
rent shipments. Although the rail
roads have placed a few more rail
orders, aggregating about 135, 900
tons thus far in the past month, con
tracts for other railroad equipment
have been light. No other large rail
orders are likely to be placed this
month, but it is hoped that of the
100000 tons now pending a fair pro-
portion will be placed in December.
Last week rail orders came to the
surface aggregating 10000 tons, in:
Guiding the Lackawanna and Lehigh
Valley orders, amounting to 1900
tons.
Structural contracts for buildings
and bridges were again small, speci
fications aggregating only 10000 tons
Of which 4,000 tons were taken by
