IMMENSE SUM is INVOLVED
State Of Minnesota Claims Title 1
Iron Ore Under Iakea

State Of Minnesota Claims Title to
Iron Ore Under Lakes.
Fifty million dollars is involved in
the suit brought by the state of Min
nesota to determine the ownership
OF iron ore under the waters OF
meandered lakes, according to SAM
uel G. Iverson, state auditor. The
test case is that of the state against
Eliza Korrer, C.. N. Korrer, L. K.
Korrer, John Brennan, A. B. Coates,
Mabel R. Coates, the White Iron Lake
Iron company and the Euclid Iron
Mining company, all of Duluth. It
will be argued in the supreme court
June 30.
Embarrass lake, south of Biwabik,
In st. Louis county. according to Mr.
lverson, has under it's water 300 feet
of the finest iron ore, and perhaps
more. The value of this deposit can
hardly be estimated, but the auditor
believes that the royalties from it at
81 ton would net the permanent
school funds of Minnesota at least
$30,000,000. =.
There are other lakes the beds Of
which contain rich iron ore and the
auditor says that, If the sovereignty Of
the state is once established over this
property the ultimate royalty income
will reach the $5O, 100000 mark.

SAGENG NOT A CANDIDATE
Refuses to File for Governor Of Min
nesota and Tells Why.

Senator Ole Sageng, "the man be-
hind the plow," will not file for the
Progressive nomination for governor
OF Minnesota. He made this announce.
ment In a statement he made pub
lie at Fergus Falls. His reason,
briefly, is that he wishes primarily to
contribute to the defeat of the brew
cry and saloon interests of the state,
which, he says, will continue their
domination in tho event that either
Governor Eberhart is reelected or a
Democratic governor is chosen.
The only hope of defeating>~ the
liquor interests, Mr.. Sageng believes,
is In the nomination of William F..
Lee of Long Prairie on the Republic
an ticket. Hence, in order to further
the cause Of Lee, Senator Sageng will
not file, lest his candidacy might de-
tract from the interest in the race of
the Long Prairie aspirant.

CENSUS PRAISES MINNESOTA
Leads States in Efficient Handling OF
Public Debt.


Minnesota stands at the head of the
states in the matter of efficient
handling of it's public debt, according
to q statement made public by the
census bureau. The statement fol-
lows:
I'm 1880 the total debt of Minnesota
at the close of the fiscal year, July 81,
was $6.140,000; in 1890 it was $4,552,-
900; and in 1912 it amounted to ST.
345, 900.
"The population of the state in
creased from $4,000 in 1880 to 2,14S,-
600 in 1912. In 1880 the per capita
debt Qess sinking fund assets) was
1894; in 1890 it was $1.85, decreasing
to $0.63 in 1912.
I'm contrast with the state of Min
nesota we find that, taking the entire
debt (less sinking fund assets) for the
forty-eight states, the per capita debt.
according to the latest report, is
1882, or $3.50 more than the per capita
debt for Minnesota
"Comparing the decrease in the per
capita debt of Minnesota and the
forty Weight states for the thirty-year
period we find the ratio for Minnesota
far greater than that for the forty
eight states; the $5.4S falling to 1852
on the average for the forty.eight
states, and 1894 to $0.63 in Minnesota.
AT the present time about % per
cent of the total population of the
United States will be found in the
state of Minnesota and only a per
cent of the total debt Qess sinking
fund assets, is attributed to, that
state"

The theory of the military authori-

to do so.

Auerta Rejects VIII
sons Demands.
WILL ASK CONGRESS
FOR power TO ACT
President Wilson Intends to Use
Land and Naval Forces
Against Mexico.

Washington, April 2O.-General Vic
toriana Huerta has defied the United
States and refused to order salute
o. apology to the American flag. That
10 his answer to President Wilson's
vi :imatum.
The president, acting on the de-.
dance Of the Mexican dictator, will
appear before joint session of con-
gross and will ask for authority to use
the army and navy to enforce the de-
mands Of the United States.
This request will be granted i'm
mediately and orders will be issued
At once for the blockade and seizure
Of all Mexican ports on the east and
vests coasts of the Southern repub.
lie.
This movement, while not in itself
an act of war, is almost certain to in
volve open hostilities and officials in
Washington accepted as inevitable an
open declaration of war with Mexico.
The news of Huerta's refusal was
flashed by wireless to Admiral Bad
ger, commanding the Atlantic fleet
now hurrying towards Mexico, and the
commanders Of the American war YES
sells already in Mexican waters.
Will Seize Ports First.
They will not make any definite
move against Mexico, however, until
congress has acted. With the pas
sage Of the joint resolution by the
legislative branch orders will 20 forth
for immediate action. The ports of
Tampico and Vera Cruz will be the
first to be seized.
Railroad communication to Mexico
City will be interrupted and an effort
will be made to starve Huerta into
submission through cutting off his
customs receipts and his supplies of
ammunition.
Huertas defiance came after a day
OF haggling on his part. 1t came after
President Wilson again served notice
IN the most emphatic terms that his
demands for salute were uncon-
ditional.
The exact words of the message the
president sent to Secretary Bryan
from White Sulphur Springs, which
ended all hope on the part of Huerta
for modification of the governments
ultimatum, were:
Tell O'Shaughnessy our terms are
unconditional in every detail"
Vigorous Reply to Huerta.
This vigorous telegram from the
president was caused by an eleventh
hour demand on the part of Huerta
that the United States through Charge
Oshaughnessy in Mexico City should
enter into a formal protocol, giving
him assurances that this government
will fire return salute to the Mexi.
can salute of apology.
President Wilson Informed Huerta
that the United States will not give
him a single assurance beyond the
statement contained in Admiral Mayo's
original demand upon. the Mexican
general, which stipulated that an
American war vessel will return the
Mexican salute.
Huerta had signified his willingness
20 yield his demand for simultaneous
salute, provided this government
would grant his requests for formal
assurances as to twenty-one guns in
reply.
