Washington, Feb. 22.-The state OF
Minnesota won a complete victory
over the Great Northern and Great

Barrows, president of the Harvard as
ISOLATION of Minnesota in a humorous
talk at the annual banquet of the

have compelled silent attention were

C. A. SMITH AS DEFENDANT.
Minneapolis Lumberman Party t
Suits About Timber Land.

Portland Feb. 23.-With several
actions against them involving title
right to thousands of acres Of timber
land in the state of Oregon, worth
around 100000, trials of Charles A.
Smith, Minneapolis lumberman, and
associates, will open here April IS.
In its efforts to recover the lands,
the government expects to prove that
the men who made original filings
were real persons, but that they did
not make entries in good faith, being
under contract to turn the lands over
to Smith or his representatives as
soon as patents should be received.
1t is alleged that men who acted as
dummies were bartenders and hang
ers-on around Portland saloons, the
price paid them averaging 500 in
each case. 1t is alleged, also, that
after lands had been decided to Smith,
the latter reconveyed them to bust
ness associates of Minnesota.
