WANT MONEY FROM THE BANK
Ore Company Sues Duluth and Range
Concerns for $17,500.

Duluth.-The Mount Clemens Saw
ings bank, Michigan, together with the
First National Bank of Duluth and
five st. Louis county mining compa-
MES, is named as defendant in an action
to recover $17,500 by the Blue Ore
Mining company. The mining COM
panies that are made defendants are
the Oliver Iron, the Van Buren,, the
Rogers Iron, the Chicago Ore and
Shanangc Iron companies.
The plaintiff alleges that it joined
in a note for $4,000 with the Chicago
Ore company to the Mount Clemens
Bank with" which to pay certain indebt-
edness to the First National Bank Of
Duluth. Royalties which were expect
ed were assigned as security. It is
claimed that the royalties and mining
rights under the assignment are worth
$4,000. It is further alleged that the
Mount Clemens bank has received un-
der the assignment $23,672.06, and as
late as November II, 1910, refused to
cancel the note, even upon the offer to
pay $1,400 more. The plaintiff ore
company alleges that it has been
damaged $l7,55O and demands an &C.

Dark Skins and Malaria.

In recent issue of a daily paper
we find it stated on the anonymous
authority of well known London
doctor that blackness of the skin,
however produced, protects against
malaria, and it is said that IF you
are going to a country where malaria
is rife stain yourself all over with
walnut juice, or black yourself with
burnt cork and you will be less liable
to catch the disease
And the explanation is given that
the browning of the skin prevents
the actinic rays of sunlight penetrat-
ing the skin and so helping the malar-
ial parasite to mature; and therefore
we are told "if white men had arti-
fcially colored skins or even wore
black underclothing they would be in
the same position as the natives-pro-
.tected to certain extent against the
malarial parasite maturing."
We should be interested to know on
what facts the well known London
doctor" bases his statement. It is
true that on the whole, the colored
races suffer less severely from ma
laria than the white races, but we are
not aware Of any evidence which even
suggests that this is due to the color
of the skin. Of course it is possible
that the staining of the skin with
walnut juice or burnt cork may have
a deterrent effect on the mosquito
and SO prevent the incubation of the
parasite, but this, we should imagine,
was more than doubtful. The immu-
nifty of the savage races is probably
the result of evolution by selection.

STATE is BOOSTED IN OUTLOOK,
Secretary schmahl Writes Article
Showing Conservation is Practiced.

st. Pathfinder the heading "Con-
servation in Minnesota" Secretary OF
State Schmahl discusses the great
wealth to be gained by the state from
the sales of its lands, in an article
published in the current issue of the
Outlook. Mr.. Schmahl makes the
statement that the Minnesota school
fund is the largest in the country. He
contrasts the method of disposing of
lands acquired from the government
for the support Of schools in Mime
sofa with other states.
In Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan
thousands of acres were sold at $1.25
an acre. When the government made
these land grants to Minnesota, Gov
ernor Ramsey had a bill passed set
ting minimum price Of IS an acre
and providing for sale by auction. AS
result Minnesota today has $22,000,-
900 for school purposes and still owns
100000 worth of land
Besides the state owns 1000 40-acre
tracts Of mineral land which will pro-
duce 100000 tons of ore each. At
minimum price of rs cents ton
royalty, these properties will net the
state approximately $250,000,000 in
royalties for the support of the state
schools.

SHORT SESSION o.
CONGRESS OPENED
President Has Ambitious Pro.
gram for the Lawmakers.
MAY MEET WITH OBSTRUCTION
Reapportionment and Tariff Board
Measures Likely to Cause Fights
Events Tending Toward
Extra Session.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Upon the
temper of the Democratic leaders de-
ponds entirely the amount and the
character Of the legislation to be en-
acted into law at the last session of
the 61st congress, which convened at
noon today. According to all reports,
President Taft and his advisers have
outlined an ambitious program. How
much Of it he may be able to put
through is problem no one at this
early day would be justified in pre-
dieting.
The short session of a congress ex-
pires by constitutional limitation in
three months. There usually is holi-
day recess that consumes a fortnight.
Adjournments over from Friday to
Monday cause loss of valuable time,
and in the end, by reason of these
various causes, there remain only
about sixty working days for the con-
gress, reduced to half that in the
house as a result of the new rules.
Within this short space experience has
proved that it is well nigh impossi-
BILE to do more than enact the supply
bills by which the funds are provided
for the maintenance and support of
ment.
Special rules providing for emer-
gencies are possible in the house and
there debate can be limited and delay
prevented. In the senate there is
nothing akin to cloture, and so long
as a single senator desires to speak
there is no way to bring debate to a

VOTE ON STATE TICKET.
Eberhart Plurality 10 ,406-lverson
Leads All Candidates.

st. Paul A. O. Eber-
hart's official plurality over James
Gray in the state election, Nov. 8, was
60,406. All the other republican cand-
tdates for state Office were elected by
larger margins, except E. A. Jaggard
and D. F. Simpson for Judges of the
supreme court, who were elected over
T. D. O'Brien, democrat, by plurali-
ties of 1866 and 1866 respectively.
Complete returns have been re-
ceived by the state canvassing board,
which gave out the totals for the re-
publican and democratic state tickets.
For state auditor, treasurer and attor-
ney general there were only the re-
publican and democratic candidates,
which accounts for the larger vote on
those offices. State Auditor S. G.
1verson led the entire ticket in total
vote and in majority, being the only
one to get better than two to one over
his opponent. Cook county's return
was received today, the last one to
come in, and the complete totals fol-

CUTS j BERTH Il RATES.
REDUCTION REACHING 20 PER
CENT GRANTED FOR UPPER
COMPARTMENTS.
MINIMUM NOW PLACED AT SIPS
Some Concessions Are Also Promised
IN Chicago for "Lowers"-Com-
promise Ends Long
Fight.

Chicago, Ill. General reduction
OF the rates for upper Pullman berths
>nd In certain instances for lower
berths were announced before Com
m1ssloners Franklin K Lane and E.
e. Clark, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission by G. S. Fernald. of the
Pullman Company.
The reduction in upper berth rates
offered is 20 per cent where the lower
berth rate exceeds $3.50. Various re-
auctions are announced for the rates
on lower berths in specific instances.
Lower berths from St. Paul and
Minneapolis to Seattle and intermedi-
ate Pacific coast points are to be re-
duced from $12 to $11. The rate on
upper berths will be $3.50, the pres
ent rate being S12.
The hearing, at which the promise
of reduction was made, was a rehear-
ing OF the petition of George S. Lof-
tus OF Minneapolis against the Pull
man company, the point at issue being
the upper berth rates between Chicago
and the Pacific coast.
Last March the interstate commerce
commission ordered a reduction in the
rates for both upper and lower berths
and the United States circuit court en-
Joined the enforcement of this order.
Instead it directed that rehearing be
held
The offer of the Pullman Company
proving satisfactory to the ''plaintiff''
before the commission. no testimony
in the rehearing was heard.
Minimum to Be $1.25.
Hereafter the minimum rate for up
per berths will be S1.25, instead Of
$3.50, said Mr.. Fernald, who is assist
ant general solicitor of the Pullman
company.
"Not rate has been raised by this
schedule, but we are endeavoring to
adjust all charge to correspond with

WORKS. ELECTION CONTESTED,
Notice Filed by Benjamin Taylor. His
Republican Opponent.

Mankato.-Benjamin Taylor, re.
publican candidate for the senate at
the last election, who, according to tho
returns, was defeated by Senator
Works by eighteen votes, has filed q
notice of contest, the examination CT
the ballots to commence Dec. Is.
The grounds set forth in the notice
of contest are that the registration
board of the first, second, third and
sixth wards did not furnish the proper
registers. Therefore. it is asserted
that the entries for information of yot-
ers were wholly incomplete. In the
first ward, it is asserted, ten illegal
votes were cast, for the reason that
the voters were not citizens of the
United States; in the second ward
356 votes. third ward 296 votes, sixth
ward 1875 votes.

Fergus Falls.-The Civic league of

in rounding up the blind piggers and
bootleggers here. The league did not
call for outside detectives this time,
but engaged r. E. Hyatt, who was en-
ployed at the local packing plant, and
a young farmer named Frank Biery
to secure evidence. Both have played
their part well, and as result, there
have been one or two arrests each
day for week past, with several 9TH
ers in prospect. Two of the parties
arrested stood trial and both were con-
victed. One paid SIS fine and the
other has appealed to the district
court. All of the others have pleaded
guilty and paid fines of $50 each.

close. It is in the senate, therefore,
are thown in the way of an outlined
legislative program. In the face of
all this the administration has mapped
out a program that will require the
most adroit political and legislative
management to bring it to fruition.
May Block Reapportionment.
Chief among the matters attracting
attention, in view of the result of the
recent elections, is the proposed reap.
port1onment. This is the determina-
ton of the allotment of members of
the house Of representatives to the
various states, based upon the popu-
lation ascertained by each decennial
census. While this ought not to be
political question, it invariably in
wolves politics, and the Republicans
are anxious to deal with it while they
control both houses of congress. It
is not essential that this new reap
portionment be enacted into law at
this session, and if a bill considered
unfair be submitted, the Democrats
In the senate may be counted upon to
prevent its conclusion before March
3.
A big fight is promised with regard
to the tariff board for which the presi-
dent will ask still larger appropria-
ton and, incidentally, increased au-
thority in the matter of conducting
its inquiries and making it's investiga-
tons both at home and abroad. Many
leading Democrats, like Senator Bal
ley, for instance, are opposed to the
tariff commission plan and will an
tagonize this. The president is verv
earnest In this matter. Then, too.
there are many men in both parties
who believe the tariff should be re-
moved from politics entirely, and
men of this view hold that this may
be accomplished through a commits
sion and are inclined to give it a
fair test.
If the effort threatened by Senator
Gallinger and others to push through
a ship subsidy bill at the short ses-
sion is made seriously, it promises to
precipitate time-consuming contest.
The Democrats are opposed to this
sort of legislation.
Small Hope for Currency Bill.
It does not appear likely that Mr..
Aldrich will be able to put through
anything in the shape Of a revision
OF the currency laws at the coming
session, although he has been cred
tied with having that in mind Time
will be too short to admit of full and
free consideration of so important a
subject.
The administrations legislative plan
includes, also, various conservation
schemes, an anti-injunction bill CIV
ing relief, in a measure at least, de-
manded by organized labor. and "a
