Duluth Mimi, is in the midst of a
campaign for the enforcement of it's
building laws More than 100 build
ings are said to be violating the city
building ordinances, and the inspec-
tor has ordered about $50 fire escapes
to be constructed at once. Some Of
the buildings that should have four
or FIVE fire escapes under the law do
not have any. The buildings affected
are mostly lodging houses, hotels and
apartment houses, but they include
some large Office buildings also. The
chief cause for complaint arises in
buildings on the hill. The owners say
that buildings that are three stories
on the lower side and two on the up
per, are only two-story buildings and
do not require fire escapes, while the
building inspector says that they are
three-story buildings and need fire
escapes. An interesting fact is that
the city hall itself comes under this
head, and the building inspector is
trying to make the alderman comply
with the law they passed themselves.
Senator Root has introduced in the
Senate bill giving to Mrs. Frances
Folsom Cleveland, widow of President
Cleveland, and Mrs. Mary Scott Lord
Harrison. widow of President Har,
rison, pensions of $4,000. It is expected
that the pensions will be granted
without opposition, though no action
was taken at the last session. Mrs
Cleveland already has the franking
privilege of the mails.
President Taft and the other Ameri-
can authorities now see a CLEAN of
hope in the Mexican situation growing
out of the promise made in state
ment by President Diaz, of Mexico,
that he would resign from his Office
when peace is restored and when he
has assurance that his retirement
from office would not result in condi-
tions of anarchy. While this promise
of surrender was characterized by a
cabinet official as having string to
it," it was admitted by him to be a
wise policy, in view of the, very likely
contingency that the sudden resigna
ton of Diaz at this time might pre-
cipitate such a situation as would
compel action by the American Gov.
eminent. 1t is believed that Diaz had
this in mind when he appealed to the
patriotism of his people to assist in
restoring peace and preserving sta
BILE government capable with coping
with all internal conditions

:, It seems now that the big Algoms
swamp and the territory west to thu
Roseau river and Mud creek in North

drained for some time yet, as thu
state drainage commission may no
continue the survey of the proposes
system While the horde of count,
commissioners is not opposed to tn
drainage of the big swamp it gave tn
Governor an impression in a lette

drainage system in the western par
