THE REAL HEAD OF LAKES.

THE REAL HEAD OF LAKES.
Shall Willmar and every other
community in the Northwest have a
proportionate share in the benefit Of
the cheap water transportation Offer
ed by the Great Lakes?
The question was asked of the In
terstate Commerce Commission by
the Commercial Club of Duluth. The
Commission answered in the affirma-
tive, but it's ruling has not yet gone
into effect, and will not until those
who have benefited by the unfair
rate conditions of the past have ex-
hausted every effort to prevent their
correction.
Four years ago the Commercial
Club of Duluth surveyed the trans
portation situation in the Northwest.
1t saw that the Twin Cities had STEP
ped in while Duluth was sleeping,
and had transferred the commercial
Head of the Lakes from it's geograph-
ical position, to the Twin Cities, $50
miles inland. The Club found that
no other community had been extend
ed the same benefit of proximity to
the Lake waterway. In fact, the indi-
cations were that the Twin Cities
had constituted themselves, with the
aid of the railroads, the sole benefic-
iaries of cheap water transportation
made profitable by the Great. Lakes.
For the last three years Duluth has
been engaged in a fight to right that
condition. The Twin Cities have bit
terly opposed the city at the Head
of the Lakes. Other communities in
the Northwest, which studied the sit
uation, joined on the side of Duluth.
Represented at the various hearings
of Duluth's case were Sioux City, Ia,
and several towns in Southern Min
nesota, including Owatonna, Manka-
to, Rochester, Austin, Albert Lea,
Faribault, Hastings and Waseca.
Senator Thomas E. eastman of Owa-
tonna, appeared before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washing.
ton and made plea on the Duluth
side of the case. st%->
The formal decision Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission was
handed down last June. 1t held that
Duluth should have the same rates
as Chicago $on general merchandise
from the East; that the Twin Cities
should be deprived of some of the
special privileges obtained by manip.
{ ulation of rates at the expense of 9th
er communities, and that other com.
munities should be given some Of the
benefits which had been withheld
from them for years. ...>., .-

satisfied with the decision. They have
asked that the case be re-opened

$50 far as hostility on the part of
the. Mexicans toward the Americans
is concerned" Mrs. Lind declared, II
can hardly blame the Mexicans after
seeing how: a good many Americans
conduct themselves, in that country.
Men who have neither position, mon
ey, nor breeding go down there, get
a few dollars, and domineer over the
natives, ill treat their native servants,
and do everything possible to antag-
sonize the Mexicans. The condition of
the peon class is pitiable. l wish l
had three or four, million dollars to
spend in establishing schools there.
Lately the government has been
drafting boys of 10 and Is years old
for the army. l saw one whole COM

practically the whole army is COM
posed of convicts. s
Fighting Kept Them in City. -.
E 1--WE were not allowed to 60 out
side Mexico City because. the Zapa-
tistas were all around there during
our stay and fighting was reported al
most every day. We could only go
as far as the Country Club, about five
miles from the city We stopped at
the Terminal hotel most Of the time
we were in the capital because the
embassy was torn up on account of
Ambassador Wilson's things being
moved out for shipment to New York.
All the. servants around the embassy
were .Mexicans, including the men at
the gate; and i told Mr.. O'Shaugh-
messy, the charge d'affairs, that if
were to stop there I'd want Ameri-
cans around the place, especially in
war times. I lived very quietly there.
We took siesta in the middle Of the
day, like the natives, and I was study
ing Spanish, so that my time was
pretty well taken up. We met prac-
tically all the diplomatic corps. Ad-
miral # Fletcher gave luncheon on
shipboard for Lord Garden, the Brit
ish minister, and Lady Garden, which
we attended, and we met several of
the other ministers. ! 50"
Amusing Customs. !.
Many of the native customs anus
ed us greatly. Great droves Of tur-
keys would be driven into the city
from the country and the men herd
ing them would drive up one street
and down the other, going to every
door until the drove was sold. Some
times the turkeys would lay eggs in
the streets, and the herders would
pick them up, stow them in their
belts and walk on. Then they. used
to drive cows and goats to the doors
and milk them for their customers.
That was hard on Mr.. Lind, for they
know absolutely nothing about sani-
tatiOn in Mexico, and he couldn't
bring himself to drink milk there. AS
he usually drinks quart a day, it
was quite a deprivation. 5 .sz=.

The decision was one sustaining a

decision the Court pointed out; that
it distinguishes between these cor

and that the action taken does not
revoke decision rendered several
years ago, under which a Kansas law

SUNSHINE MINING
COMPANY, SUNSET
PROPERTY LITTLE HEARD OF,
BUT HAVING MERIT AND
GOOD SHOWING.

The Sunshine Mining company, in
the Sunset district, has been doing
some development recently which is
giving encouraging results. Dan Nc
Grath, one of the owners, Is directing
1t.
The Sunshine group Of six claims
Is splendidly located and the ground
Is favorable for deep tunnel develop
ment. 1t lies south of the Toughnut
southwest and cornering with the
Tuscumbia and west and adjoining
the Idora. The ground extends to
Beaver creek. 1t Is on a portion of
this ground that the Idora mill is To-
Gated.
Except for some 400 or 500 feet in
crossing draw where the wash IS
deep, the ledge has been opened by
cuts and otherwise from Beaver
creek to the west end line of the
Idora, near 5000 feet. 1t is a well de-
fined ledge and in various pac IS
where limited work has been done,
shows galena ore. Present work is on
the upper part of the ground, but
eventually 1t will be opened from the
Beaver creek level and already some
tunnel work has been done there
While the work on the Sunshine is
not extensive at this time, with the
increasing activity In the Sunset dis
trtct 1t is likely the Sunshine will JUS
tify and receive a fair proportion of
development. G. w. Dougherty, Of
this city, is secretary of the company.
