RAILROAD PLANS COUP.

Northern Pacific Seeks 10 Relay
Tracks ON Valuable Right-Of-Way.
The Northern Pacific road is pull
ing off a stunt in Superior that may
raise an interesting question of law.
Years ago it had right of way to a
point of vantage on the banks of the
ST. Louis river, where it hauled logs
from across the Minnesota line and
dumped them into the river. The log
ging was done years ago and the rails
taken up. The old right of way runs
across the steel trusts right of way
which is to connect its main plant
with it's dockage in Superior, and in
cidentally the presence of the steel
plant in that vicinity makes all prop
erty there more valuable. The n. p.
has quietly set to work to relay its
tracks in the hope of holding the track
age for future reference. Some of the
property owners, however, have awak-
ened to the situation and are prepar-
ing to get out an injunction and COM
pei the road to get certificate OF con-
venience and necessity before con-
structing the line. 1t. is claimed that
the strip reverts to the owners of ad-
jacent property.

The POINT OF VIEW.

No mans opinions can be free from
some kind of prejudice, conscious or
unconscious. Two rich men, says
writer In the Philadelphia Ledger,
were conversing. Both had retired
from active business, and both. as be-
fitted their stations in life, were COM
miserating over the things that money
would not buy. and seeking a remedy
for the evils which seemed to threaten
their hard-earned assets and their
serene enjoyment of their declining
years.
1T seems to me that something or
other will have to be done some time"
said one.
II believe you are right" said the
other. II have been thinking OF writ
ing magazine article or two. setting
forth my views on the subject"
"HVhat coincidence! SO have |.
What are you going to write about?"
The unequal distribution of wealth
and how to remedy It, Do you think
that is good subject?"
Capital What attitude are you
going to take?"
Il am going to take the attitude that
a more equitable distribution of wealth
would not come amiss, and 1 think I
know how to remedy It."
Good! What is your remedy"
well, In the first place, it would
never do to disturb man of wealth
during his lifetime"
"Of course not!"
ION the other hand. however, I think
1t is bad thing for young people TO
have large fortunes left them. Money
not earned is not appreciated"
That's true"
Accordingly, am going to take
the stand that ali property should re-
vert to the state at the death of the
man who amassed 1t. What do you
think of that?'
Wont do at all"
why not?"

Hungarian Is Terrified When He
Discovers Body of Farmer.
The body of Leo Winkler, the No
quebay farmer who disappeared
about a week before, was found on a
supply road a half mile from his own
home. The district attorney and coro-
ner have gone to the scene. No de-
tails are known as the man who found
the body was Hungarian and so
badly frightened that he did not at
tempt to ascertain the condition Of
the body. He simply reported his dis
covery. Winkler disappeared after
having dispute with another farmer
and there were rumors of murder.
The man suspected of the murder of
Winkler is John MeVane, of Lake
Nequebay. He said he was in danger
of being killed at the lake because
people suspected him of doing away
with Winkler. The latters wife asked
for warrant for McVane. Sunday it
is said that Winkler's COW strayed
onto the premises of McVane. When
Winkler came after his COW, it is said
that McVane demanded fifty cents for
the damage done. This Winkler is
said to have refused to pay.

Income Due to Increasing Business
and System, Says Commissioner.
In his annual report the state COM
missioner on fire insurance states that
there has been no increase in the tax
rate on insurance companies in nine
years, but that the revenues from
them have increased largely because
of increased business and a thorough
administration of the law, the income
for 1910 to date being S717,9 The
commissioner has decided to get after
the tax due on insurance written by
unauthorized companies, holding the
property owner responsible. He also
recommends a law to protect policy
holders of mutual companies against
dissolution of the company to permit
the management benefiting in the dis
tribution of the surplus The situa-
ton as to examinations is reviewed
and attention called TO the fact that
there is no way in which the expenses
of officers and employees of the depart
ment or the compensation and ex-
penses of employees outside of the de-
partment can be paid, with the result
that the department is practically
barred from making examinations of
companies.

Amusing Incident of the Authors

My worst fears were realized. I

that his eye was upon me. My dis
