Another Controversy Over
Wages on Railroads.
ASK Is PER CENT ADVANCE

seventy-five Thousand Men Affected
by Latest Demands. but an Early
Adjustment Is Expected, as the
Roads Have Offered Ten Per Cent
increase-Trainmen and Conductors
Working Together in Negotiations.
Chicago, Dec. .;27.-With the wage
controversy between the Western rail-
roads and the locomotive engineers
adjusted amicably the managers are
ready to resume negotiations with the
trainmen and conductors in the hope
that the slate may be wiped clean by
the new year.
Seventy-tive thousand ,trainmen. and
conductors ON all the railroads west
of Chicago are involved They are
demanding a wage increase of about
Is per cent. On account of the crit
ical stage which, the negotiations with
the engineers reached at the end of
last week conferences with the train
men and conductors were adjourned
temporarily. They will be resumed
shortly and it is expected that before
the end of the week an agreement
may be reached.
The Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men and the Order of Railway Con-
ductors are acting jointly in the nego-
tiatiols. The managers, it is under
stood, have offered the mena fiat
increase OF 10 per cent over existing
schedules but the offer does not in
clude any change in working rules.
AS each rule means money to the
men they say they are more anxious
about rules than they are about an
increase.
So far the Conferences have been
marked by harmony and it is said
there is little danger of break.

Emphatic, But Honest.

the type used in printing the song
is clear and plain and the paper
seems to be the best quality of rag.
The design on the front page is ar
tistic and the words as tender as a
veal steak and as poetic as a ea-

be in a healthy condition. We will
sing the song to any subscriber OF

TWO Meet Death LIN Accidents at St.

dents on local railroads were report
ed to the st. Paul police. The first
became public shortly after the dis
covery of the body of S. H. Stroup,
tower. man at Oakland station, on the
Burlington road, lying in ditch about
800 feet west of the Pigs Eye bridge
near the fish hatcheries. Stroup had
been. missing since Saturday night.
His body, terribly mangled, was al
most entirely covered with snow, ex-
planning the vain search which was
made for him by the police and rail-

6YNAMiTERS,AR SUSPECTED
Plant Of Los Angeles Iron Company
Partially Wrecked.

1Haft'aiIy wrecked.
Los Angeles, CAL. Dec: 27.-The
Llewellyn iron works were partially
wrecked by an explosion, presumab bly,
by dynamite. The force of the explO.
sion tore out the front of the building
and aroused people in residence dis
tricts more than two miles away. The
police have no clue to the perpetrators.
The explosion is believed to have
been the outcome of the9;genera] labor
troubles of Los Angeles, in which the
Llewellyn company has been promi.
nently involved.
The front of the main building for a
distance of about seventy-tive feet
was. wrecked. the furniture and para
phernalia of the offices being included
in, the ruin. The machinery apparent
ly was unchanged.
J. E. Asbury, the Waterman, was
buried under a. mass of debris, but
was rescued, only slightly injured.
The Llewellyn iron works is one of
the concerns involved in the metal
workers strike which went into effect
on June OF this year. The strike has
been characterized by great bitterness
on both sides.

THE MISTAKE OF OUR FRIENDS IN THE
SOUTH.


AS the days go by and the legis-
lative session comes closer, the real
opposition to a just reapportionment
bill begins to rear it's head and spit
fire.
To show the feeling in the south
ern counties, we quote from the Win
nebago, Press-News, published in
Faribault county:
zone prominent Southern Mime
sofa senator: says he will not vote for
any reapportionment bill that will
legislate him and sixty-three other
senator's out of job in just one-half
the time they have been elected by
the people to serve. And this sena-
tor probably voices the opinion of
great many others. Our friends in
the northern part of the state have
inaugurated Gattling gun campaign
for reapportionment, but it may be
we'll for them to remember that
southern Minnesota has rights that
must be taken into consideration as
we'll as northern Minnesota. In
other words if a reapportionment is
made it must be broad enough to take
in the whole state and not one Sec
ton of it as clamored for by some of
the Brainerd boomers
It is true that the north has in
augurated "a Gattling gun campaign
for reapportionment" and it is the
fear of our southern friends that
their top-heavy representation will
be shot full of holes, which causes
them to fight what the north knows
to be square deal.
If the Press-News means what it
says, and southern Minnesota will
back the sentiment, there will be
redistricting "broad enough to take in
the whole state and not one section
of it," and that will mean represent
tation for the now unrepresented
north.
The continual misapprehension
and unjust criticism made by the
south is finely illustrated by our
Winnebago contemporary which ap-;
parently labors under the belief that

when as matter of fact it would
not. Therefore, there really is no

MAKING wEILAhps WORK.

On the same day that the census
bureau in Washington announced
the population of Minnesota as g.
075,708, a. gain of .324,214, or 1876.
per cent in ten years, there came
statement from the Office of George
A. Ralph, state drainage engineer,
that the state already has drained
545,085 acres of it's swamp lands and
made them available for agricultur-
al purposes.
There is a coincidence in these two
as this great drainage
work will provide more farms and
more farms mean more people and
more towns, which will make the
growth of northern Minnesota's pop
ulation in the next ten years much
greater than it has been in the last
decade. In his report Mr.. Ralph
says:
ct is estimated that Minnesota
originally had about 100000
acres of swamp lands, or land too
wet in it's natural state for agricul-
tural purposes. This vast area,
comprising about one-fifth of the
total of the states area, is fast be-
coming transformed into valuable
farm lands. Conservative esti
mates place the area reclaimed dur
ign the last two years at 100000
acres. With our constantly increas
ing population, the area of unoccu-
pied agricultural lands must con-
stantly diminish and the demand for
agricultural products must naturally
increase. No one factor plays
more important part in this demand
than drainage. BY continuing the
drainage of wet lands, thousands of
acres of the most productive soil can
be added to the wealth producing
area each year and millions of dollars
be added to the agricultural wealth
of the state"
In addition to the drainage work
done under the direction of Mr..
Ralph thousands of acres in this part
of the state have been converted in
to tillable soil under the jurisdiction
of judicial districts and county COM
missions. Mulch of this work has
been done in the vicinity of Thief
River Falls which is the seat of Min
,nesota's new county, Pennington.
Most of this work has been done
under the direction of w. R. Hoag,
engineer, who was appointed by
Judge Andrew Grindeland to SUPER
wise the drainage in what is known
as judicial ditch No. II. This work
lies in Beltrami, Red Lake and Mar
shall counties. A large majority of
this work has and is being done by
the Northwestern Drainage company
of Grand Rapids, Wis. Arthur M.
Arpin of Thief River Falls is the
general manager and he has had a
large force working night and day
on the giant dredges converting
swamps into land that are destined
within a few years to add to the
states fame as a grain producing
district.
This project alone will add $780,
900 acres to the states farming area
and is independent of the work done
by the state drainage commission.
1t is believed that all Of the work
will have been completed in four or.
five years and when the next census
is taken the enumerators will have
to invade the former haunts of the
bear, deer, wolf and wild fowl to
gather the names of the inhabitants.
