The North and South Railway Fake,

AS the Union predicted, the pro-
posed railroad from Winnipeg to the
gulf promises to turn out one of the
greatest swindles of modern times.
Its three promoters, Wiley, Beall and
Beckley, were arrested on Monday,
two in Iowa and one in Cass county,
and their headquarters in Minneapo-
lis ransacked and records confscated.
The plan of these promoters was
the construction of railroad from
Winnipeg to New Orleans, the exact
location of which through Minnesota
shifting from time to time, accord
ing to the willingness OF unwilling
ness of particular localities to buy
stock.
Inquiries had for some time been
received in Minneapolis regarding
the operations of the North & South
company which had sold stock at par
value of $40 share, payable in in
stallments of one-fifth monthly, but
the postal authorities had worked
without success for sufficient evil
dence to warrant putting the case
before the federal grand jury. The
appearance in Minneapolis ten days
ago Of U. S. G. Henry, president of
the Park Rapids Commercial club,
brought the climax. Mr.. Henry
called on Assistant Secretary Otto
W. Davis Of the Minneapolis Civic
and Commerce associations: Togeths
Ter they went to see Edward E. Stat
er, an attorney for the association,
who examined contract between
John M. Wiley as president of the
company and the Commercial club
Of Park Rapids, in which it was
agreed that if Park Rapids raised
among it's business men $4,000 for
the purchase of stock in the road the
line would be run into that town.
Otherwise it would pass it by.
Mr.. Henry and Mr.. Davis, on Mr..
Slater's advice, then called on Rush
D. Simmons, chief postoffice inspec-
tor: in St. Paul. Investigation fol-
lowed in detail and the findings were
put before the grand jury, which
brought in the Indictment late Fri
day. .>a..-.... %...
Postoffice inspectors say that the
company has probably received in all
since it's Incorporation two years ago
in Phoenix, Ariz., the sum of $780,
600. Its capital stock was $500, 600
and its railroad existed only on
paper.

GOOD ROADS AMEND'T
OF Far rlore Importance Than Election
of Any Candidate of Any Ma
tional or State Party.
Put an K After ssYes'' and Immedi-
ately Under the Second Arrow
on the Pink Ballot.

In the coming election there are
several important issues. One is
whether the administration of Presi
dent Taft shall be continued, which
would be guarantee of four more
years of prosperity, or whether we
shall try again the experiment of
letting the democrats play politics
with the tariff, and the almost
certainty of demoralizing business.
Another is whether the present re-
publican administration shall be con-
tinued in state affairs or whether we
shall permit the bosses of the third
party to turn the government over to
the democrats.
But of greater Importance to the
people of Minnesota than either is
whether we shall approve the amend
ment of the state constitution pro-
viding for one-mill tax for good
roads. This is question that ap-
peals directly to the city dweller as
we'll as to the farmer. Good roads
are Of benefit to ALL but of most value
to the farmers.
This proposed one-mill tax can be
expended only on the country roads.
under the supervision of the state
highway commission. None of it
can be expended in the cities and
villages, although the cities and the
villages and the three big counties
of Hennepin, Ramsey and ST. Louis
will pay some 80 per cent of the total
tax.
This is proper because the prosper
ity of the cities and villages is de-
pendent in a large measure on the
prosperity of the country, and good
roads add to the value of farm prod
ucts and farm lands.
: = ;:
We believe this will be the best
investment ever made by the state,
and will lead to a splendid system
of highways in every county of the
state, and ultimately to much bet
ter system Of road building and road
maintenance.
Citizens may honestly differ as tc
whether Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt
should be elected president, OF
whether Eberhart or Ringdal shall
be the next governor-but there
should be no division of sentiment
about supporting the one-mil]
amendment.
1t means better conditions for
living and greater prosperity for all.

mill amendment.-St Cloud ] Journal

Societies for prevention of cruelty
to animals are being established in
many villages of Minnesota and they
are commendable organizations.
Often have we noticed brutal drivers
lashing horses that are attached to
heavily sladen wagons horses that
were doing their best to haul the bur-
dens imposed upon them by unfeeling
masters. Then, again, there are
men who mercilessly use the whip
upon poor old decrepit horses which
are half starved and too weak to
draw heavy loads. D-n the man

H. B. Pratt of Elk Lake park, ac-

Monday, captured a pickerel the day
previous which weighed "a pounds
ounces: The leviathan Of the deep
capsized Mr.. Pratt's skiff couple of
times but he managed to right the
craft and hang onto the line until he
landed the fish. Mr.. Pratt is quoted
as saying: ''Any ordinary line with
such a monster at the end of it
would have snapped, but that partic-
cular rope of hair was manufactured
from my Whiskers. I am now let
ting them grow again and expect by
next summer to have whisker fish

Frost caught number of bean
fields in Spencer Brook and Baldwin
before the beans had ripened and the
crop was ruined. The loss to some
farmers is quite heavy. The frost
held off as long as usual this fall,
but the cold weather in August re-
tarded the growth of beans and all
other crops. Very little corn, how
ever, was injured by frost. But po-
tatoes, in many places, are a light
crop and of inferior quality owing to
the unfavorable weather.

new FRANCHISES
With Changes and Revisions the
Street. Railway and Gas Franchise
Have Left joint Committee.

It is not likely that the street rail-
way and gas franchises in their
changed and revised forms. after
consideration by the special commit
tees of the city council and commerce
ial club, will be acted pom by the
city council until the next regular
meeting of that body. Now they are
to be considered by the commercial
club as a whole and they are to be
referred to the Blyyesby company for
its consideration.
The franchises, relating to the pro-
posed construction of an ~interurban
line to Dilworth, as they are now, are
said to be practically the same as
the franchise under which the street
railway is conducted now, only that
the period of its existence has been
extended. pursuant to the charter
amendment adopted by the people at
the recent election.
The franchise for the gas supplying
privileges has been materially chang
ed from the one the Byllesby com
pany is operating under now. There
are in the new franchise provisions
for a specific quality Of gas to be
supplied, the fling of plats Of mains
to be constructed. the testing Of me-
tiers and the inspection of gas. In
regard to gas, members of the COM
say that the public is well
protected.
