IRON ORE IN AITKIN COUNTY
Drilling Operations Are Proving to Be
Very Successful.

Very Successful.
Interest in mining circles of late
has been turned to the country north
east of Aitkin, where drilling opera
lions are giving indications of the ex-
istence Of large bodies of ore. While
it has been thought that the Guyana
formation extended in that direction
so far little development work has
been done there
The Winton-Vermilion Iron company
has drills at work on the north half
of the northwest quarter of section 3,
1925, and fine results are being OBJ
tanned. A recent sample of the ore
taken from one drill hole assayed
58.74 per cent metallic iron, only .02
per cent phosphorus and IA per cent
silica.
This is considered a good Bessemer
ore and indications point to a very
large body of it. The deepest hole is
now down 265 feet and the iron lorna.
ton, which was encountered at 1O2
feet, is still holding.

Antiquity of Tobacco.


The cultivation and use of tobacco
are of such antiquity that authentic
history does not record Their begin
nings. The claims of certain Ilropean
and Asiatic countries to an ;icquaint-
ance with the plant prior to the dis
covery Of America by Coluns,us are
not supported by accepted history nor
satisfactorily demonstrated by the re-
searches of the antiquarian or the
archeologist. 1t is fairly we, settled
that tobacco is indigenous to tne west
ern hemisphere and that the a"origines
practiced it's cultivation and use from
remotest times and spread the: knowl-
edge to the rest Of the world Wash

THE INTERSTATE ACT DOES NOT
APPLY TO INTERSTATE
COMMERCE.
REVIEW BY M'REYNOLDS
WHEN CHARGES OF coNFIScA.
TIoN MADE, BURDEN OF
PROOF is ON r. r.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


Notwithstanding the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the Minnesota state
rate case, Attorney General McReyn-
olds said:
THE court holds that Congress, in
the interstate commerce act, has not
deprived the states of the right of fix
Ing maximum interstate rates. They
still have that power. In contesting a
rate fixed by the state on the ground
that the rate is confiscatory, the de-
cision says that the burden OF proof
OF confiscation falls upon the railroad.
The court found that the Minneapolis
& st. Louis railroad had established
that the rates affecting them were con-
flscatory but that the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern had failed in
such proof"
Officials of the Department of JUS
tice interpreted the decision as assert
ing the power of Congress to legislate
regarding intrastate rates if Congress
believes that interstate and intrastate
commerce have become SO blended as
to make it possible to dissociate the
two classes of rates. The point con-
clusively stated, they declared, was
that Congress had not yet undertaken
to regulate intrastate rates because or
their relation to interstate rates. The
powers of such regulation neverthe
less rests in Congress, according to
this construction.
"The decision" said one official,
CLEARLY puts the question of further
regulation up to Congress"
Assistant Attorney General Denison,
who represents the Department of
Justice in the Commerce Court and
who drew the petition of the federal
government intervening in the state
rate cases because of their effect upon
the so-called Shreveport case of Texas,
said the decision left open the issues
in that case.
