THE WAR IN EUROPE
Germany Pushing Into France
In Spite Of the Allied
European Armies.
RUSSIA INVADING GERMANY

Developments OF the week while in
general way favorable to the Ger.
mans carry possibilities Of great
disaster for that nation along with
her victories
Coincident with the advance of
German troops into French territory
the invasion of Germany by Russia
means that the TeutouS are t. be
assaiIed from all directions and will
have need of all their powerful war
machinery to save themselves before
many days 1t makes no difference
in a military sense if Germany meets
with tremendous losses Of men and
guns, if it carries the position want
ed. This Germany seems to be do
ing in France and Belgium, although
a different story is coming from the
war in eastern Prussia,
Another important feature Of the
war Of the most depressing kind is
the temper Of the British nation,
which is being made plain at London.
The statement that England intends
to endure any sacrifice to destroy
PrusSian militaryism and to bring
Germany TO its knees has an awful
meaning,
1t means that even though Ger.
many should crush France as effect
ually as it did in 1870 the war
might still rage for years, With

The fact that Lincoln BeacGsy

They know the trails and know
the amount of fish in the lakes.
They hold that the supply is so
nearly inexhaustible that it is use
less to fear that the fish would be
depleted by the methods proposed
In fact they argue that the lakes
would be benefited by the removal
of the large fish, which now live on
the small fish.
Men from other portions of
Minnesota, who have seen their
lakes depleted of fish by the sein
and by dynamite, naturally find it
hard to look upon any SEEMING
proposition with favor, but the
arguments of those extreme north
ern Minnesota people have merit.
Their contention is that under
existing conditions it is only the
very few who can afford to travel
long distances on a fishing trip
who can enjoy the luxury of a
mess of fresh pike or bass. With
seining in force all could buy these
fish at the same price, and they
claim, under proper regulations not
lessen the supply of fish in the
least.
The subject is one worthy of
deep and careful consideration.

New Railroad News

The announcement is officially
made that F. d. Brandenburg of
Minneapolis has been elected vice
president and fiscal agent of the
Grand Marais & Northwestern Ry.
Co., which company has begun
construction of line from Grand
Marais, Cook county, MINI. in a
northwesterly direction to Ely, on
the Vermilion iron range. Mr..
Brandenburg is also vice president
and fiscal agent of the Minnesota
Northwestern Electric Railway
company, which is building east
ward from Thief River Falls,
Mimi. and which already has 20
miles in operation. The news of
Mr.. Brandenburg's connection
with the Grand Marais line has led
to reports in railroad circles in Du-
luth and the Twin Cities that the
road running east from Thief River
Falls and the Grand Marais road
will be united in common system,
with Grand Marais harbor as the
outlet to the east. The electric
road is standard gauge, and to be
operated as common carrier in
vast and fertile territory east of
Thief River Falls that is not yet
served by railroad.
The Mining Letter is in receipt
of information which it is convinc-
ed is true that the two new rail-
roads mentioned will effect union
for purposes of joint operation, at
least. and the construction of such
east and west system in northern
Minnesota would surely be one of
the most developments in trans
portation in some years. Mr..
Brandenburg financed the North
western Electric Railway company
and is now the fiscal agent of the
Grand Marais road, of which Ar
thur Mitchell of Duluth is the
president and general manager.
Great credit is due him for the
advanced and favorable position of
the road.
A union of the two roads for
purposes of traffic, or perhaps in
time an even closer relation, in the
shape of actual consolidation,
would be of great Importance in
northern Minnesota. The system
commands an immense virgin
territory rich in mineral, timber
and agriculture.

been discontinued and it is now
impossible to send money orders
to these countries. The parcel
post service to France and Germany
has also been discontinued. Owing
to the high exchange rate between
the countries at war and the

amounts will not be issued by the

be sent to Europe for the purpose

the money is not to be used for
speculative purposes. The ex-

DENIES NEW TRIAL
City Will Probably Take Case to
Supreme Court

Judge Fesler in the district court
Monday filed an order. denying the
motion of the City of Ely for new
trial of the injunction proceedings
brought against it by the Oliver
Iron Mining company last March,
at which time the court enjoined
the city from paying more than
one-third of the cost of certain
street and sewer construction from
the general city funds.
The work, which was let by con-
tract to K. S. Johnson and D. H.
Clough & Co., was stopped by
court proceedings before it was
finished. 1t involved improve
ments amounting to about $50, 900.
The city charter provides that one
third of the cost of such improve
ments shall be paid by the city and
two thirds by specially benefited
property owners.
The city ignored this provision
in letting the contracts, and at the
trial set up that the provision of the
charter was unconstitutional. The
court, however took the opposite
view. 1t is believed the city will
now take The case to the supreme
court.
K. S. Johnson, one of the con-
tractors affected by the court 5
order, brought suit last week
against the City of Ely to recover
81 ,O76.O2 which he claims was due
under his contract when the work
was stopped.
An amendment to the order of
the district court refusing a new
trial was Tuesday filed in the dis
trict court by Judge Fesler.
By this amendment it is sipu-
lated, in addition that the City of
Ely shall not pay to K. S. Johnson
and ID. H. Clough and company,
the contractors by whom the work
in dispute was partly performed,
any money for the work already
done or to be done under the con-
tract, except that if the majority
of all the members of the city coun-
shall so decide, the city may pay
part of the money due the contrac-
tors, but this amount shall not be
more than Is of the entire value
of the work done.
