On the other hand, Mr.. Prouty, Mr..
Lane and Judson S. Clements of Georgia
have been less favorable toethe railroads.
This leaves the key of the situation with
Edgar E. Clark of Iowa, who has used
his advantage in holding the balance of
power by remaining as neutral as pos
sible.
If the president had intimated his pur-
pose of placing Commissioner Clark on
the court of commerce. the inference
would be that the White house was look
ing for a man of more positive judicial
traits for the commission; but the rumor
that Prouty and Lane, the men who
have been holding the roads to a strict
account. are to be withdrawn from the
commission, has caused no little COM
ment at Washington. We cannot be-
lieve that the president would deliber-
ately weaken the commission by nomina-
ting two opportunists like Clark. The
Vermont member of the commission has
served about 15 years. during which
time his constructive temperament and
judicial turn of mind have placed him in
the front rank of administrative officers.

siderable talk here and in Vermont
that he wished to promote Hon.
Charles A. Prouty from the inter-
state commerce commission to a
place on the commerce court, but
this question was finally disposed of
last Friday. On that day President
Taft summoned Mr.. Prouty to the
White House and asked him 10 ac-

court, which offer was refused That
Mr.. Prouty will remain on the
commission, where he has won a
most enviable national reputation,

The senate in general and Sena-
tor Penrose, in particlar is just
now buried and overwhelmed and
swamped with countless stacks of
petitions in the form of letters from
interested parties all over the coun-
try for and against the passage by
the senate of the bill forbidding the
government to furnish stamped en-
velopes with return card thereon
printed. The bill passed the House
at the last session, and is now in
the hands of the senate committee
on post offices of which Senator
Penrose is chairman. The govern
ment makes heavy net loss on the
envelopes at the price for which it
furnishes them, and just why it per-
sists in this sort of thing is in

later rush. The Office forces of

U. P. PROMOTERS WANT TO
PROSPECT LANDS OF STATE
Land Department, According to Com
missioner Russell, Has Been Asked
For Terms for Drilling for
Minerals, Etc.

( State Land Commissioner Russell is
Enthusiastic over plans that have been
eput up TO his department recently by
some upper peninsula promoters. rela-
five TO developing the gas, oil and min
,eral rights OF the state. The commits
sioner thinks that perhaps by follow
ing out the plan the state will be en-
sriched many thousands of dollars.
Under the law enacted last year the
Estate reserves all mineral, gas and oil
rights when selling state lands. Up 10
the present time no attempt has been
made by either the state or by private
individuals to develop these rights.
I At the last meeting OF the public do
main commission, representatives Of a
company appeared and the question
was put up to the commission as to
what amount would be allowed them
by the state lands, to determine wheth-
-er or not valuable deposits OF mineral
oil or gas lay under the lands
The principal question involved is
what amount would the state be Will
ling to pay the company should they
find valuable deposits on state lands
Commissioners Russell states that the
Fquestion is a big one and win require
"a great deal of time and figuring to
determine.
In an interview he says that the
Estate is the owner OF thousands 4
acres in the upper peninsula close TO
several large mines already being OPP
In, fu 81, Il
prospects OF finding valuable deposits
OF iron and copper on these state lands.
He adds:
zone thing certain in granting the
right TO drill and make such other OBJ
tservations as are necessary is that as
long as they are willing to bear al Of
the expense the state would be moth
ing out. But on the other hand. were
valuable deposits found. what would
be the proper amount to allow these
promoters. In my mind there is a
chance that If the opportunity were
given that the state would be enrich
ed many thousands OF dollars.
& Another matter that has been
brought to my attention is the ques-
,tion of taking pine stumps on state
lands and extracting turpentine and
other products such as is being done
by several companies in various parts
81 the state. 7 am in communication
with a firm who desire to take some
official Of the department on a trip
and explain the workings Of the sys-
TEN used to extract the turpentine
from stumps. Tn the near,future I am
thinking Of making the trip myself
md finding out whether or not sufi
'rient revenue could not be brought the
state by converting these stumps into
turpentine and other products, to war
rant the expense.

LOOKS LIKE AN EARLY
OPENING OF THE STRAITS

According to the weekly ice report
issued by the weather bureau, under
the supervision of Inspector Conger,
there is less ice in all the lakes than
at this time last year. At the Straits
of Mackinac the ice now is 10 inches
in thickness, and last season it was 20
inches.
Reports from regular and display
stations indicate that the fee fields
over western Superior have moved out
into the lake and are visible from Ke-
weenaw Point and extend beyond Wis
ion. open water is reported over the
eastern portion. Whiteflsh bay is In
tact.
At the straits the ice is 10 inches in
thickness and has not changed during
the week. In Huron the fields are
only reported on the east shore St
Clair river is open and the ice in Lake
st. Clair was broken by the high winds
Of the 18th and moved over towards
the east shore, although the fields COW
cr the mouth of the lake.
In Erie the ice fields continue around
the islands, and from the central por-
ton east to Buffalo the fields are ex-
tensive and moving with the wind In
ontario the fields are confined to the
extreme eastern portion.
The cold weather of the 14th and 18th
has made the ice firm at the straits.
