Hiivanen Secures Land.

BY special act of the legisla-
ture on bill by Senator Cheadle
and Representative Warner of this
district, the land occupied by M.
Hiivanen south of the city and
over which there has been an en-
ormous amount of litigation, was
decided to Hiivanen by the state.
This settles controversy that has
been on for many years and the
facts of which are we'll known.
Hiivanen has made an excellent
farm of the land and erected SUBJ
stantial buildings. At one time
the Iron Queen Mining company,
on lease from the state, conducted
explorations on the property under
the Management of Capt. Franklin
who sunk a shaft in the greensboro
ledge and literally burned up
money for the shareholders. Frank
lin later made his effectual getaway
into Canada and constant search
on the part of the purchasers of
stock has failed to locate him.
The people of this city are pleased
over the outcome of the Hiivanen
case.

BUNCOED B'GOSH.

THAT the state land department
should be divorced from the State
Auditors office and put in charge
of somebody with red blood in his
veins, was plainly shown at the
sales in Duluth Wednesday where
every effort was put forth to incon-
venience prospective purchasers by
proclaiming prohibitive prices and
assessing improvements at figures
that were not within the reach OF
the homeseeker.
1t was clearly shown that where
it was ascertained a parcel of land
might be in demand, Matchmaking
tactics were at once adopted and
the price boosted to prohibitive
figures it even appearing as though
bidders were hired by the state to
boost the price.
Many people here had cleared
up patches of the states domain at
a considerable cost to themselves
in the firm belief that when the
property went on the market the
state would be liberal enough to
give homeseekers chance at fig
ures within reach. In this they
were mistaken. In order to secure
the patches upon which they had
expended money and years OF
energy, the principal price of the
land ($5.OO an acre. was boosted
$40 and as high as SIS an acre, and
the improvements were appraised
at Fillmore county selling values.
(Not taxation values.) In order
to secure the patch the squatter
had made valuable to the state by
his work, the whole forty was
valued at the same figures and he
was forced to pay improved prices
for various acres of worthless lands
besides paying heavily for the few
sticks of wood that might be there
on.
The result was that only a few
parcels were sold and instead of
getting the now worthless acres I'M

thousands of dollars advertising its
lands and the newspapers of the
state have been furnishing other
thousands of dollars worth of ads,
free of charge. All this advertis-
ing is made to nought by, the
action of the state auditors office.
There is absolutely no object in
getting people interested in state
lands and then soaking" them for
all they have after waiting three or
four years to have the same put on
the market. No wonder Canada

lug sasa
A body of citizens of this city
had organized the Ely-Burntside
Outing company and had invested
nearly $4,000 in buildings, boats
and improvements for piece OF
land embracing 80 acres on the
Burnside portage. This portage
has been used by the Indians for
God knows how many years and
was considered public property.
The Outing company has for the
past three years tried to lease or
buy the property for summer re-
sort purposes. The land it worth
less only for the purpose named.
All the efforts of prominent officials
in the state, county and city were
put forth to have the auditor put
the same on the market for public
sale. After three years of pressure
it was at last put up at the sale
held Wednesday in Duluth. Peo-
pie who ordinarily would not take
the property as a gift and pay the
taxes, goaded on by somebody,
bid the price up to $50. so per acre.
Auditor Iverson personally con-
Quoted the sale and before putting
it up made an address stating how
valuable the property was and that
it was the gateway to the Burnt
side Forest, heritage of the peo-
pie and of inestimable value"
This looked suspicious.
The men who are behind the
Burnside proposition are willing to
put good money into it to help
advertise the state. It has been
clearly proven that people in the
east and south are looking for just
such a place to spend the summer
and the plan looked like a business
getter for Ely. The portage was
fixed as logical place upon which
to begin as the place is accessible
at all stages and in any weather.
The impression is general that
Auditor Iverson, who is in love
Cd with St. Louis County, used
the lands in this county to boost up
his political stock in the southern
end of the state by the cry of
safeguarding the people," There
are countless instances on record of
where he was not exactly so parti-
cular about the interests of the
people and it is a question in the
minds of many if the late slap was
not prearranged sister-in- law"
affair between himself and some
near members of his official family.
1t is needless to remark that the
people of Ely are in love with
Iverson.

For weeks during the severe dry

the beets to dry up and wither away.
But they didn't. They withstood the

gave them new life, the fields were
green again and the results are excel
