Have Come to Terms

Virginia and Hibbing who have
been at loggerheads for the past two
weeks over their respective claims
in the county division matter have
come to terms and an effort will be
made to pass county division bill
at the present session of the legis-
lature. The agreement stands on a
two county division and not three
upon which the split was based.
Hibbing has been holding out for
a three county division plan with a
county seat at Virginia and another
at Hibbing. As a balm to their
feelings it is said, Hibbing has been
granted the honor of having itself
named as the temporary county
seat of the new county.
Duluth has been having all man
ner of fun over the split in the
division sentiment on the ranges
and has been freely predicting the
death knell to the county division
plans. Under the new arrange
ment Duluth is not quite SC
sanguine and the smiles, have been
wearing off.

NOTHING TO IT
Ishpeming Paper Views With Alarm,
Etc.

Two weeks ago the Iron Ore
published at Ishpeming, Mich. had
lengthy article relating to the
taxation question in the range
towns and said that these prosper
Gus cities were killing the goose
that laid the golden egg" meaning
that by building school houses and
improving their cities they were
hurting their chances with the tax
paving mining companies.
However, the Iron Ore failed to
state why a dollars worth OF pro-
perry, whether owned by mining
company or by one of its employees,
should not pay taxes as per the tax
laws of the state From the tone OF
the article, the inference might be
drawn that the mining companies
were the only ones here that pay
taxes. The Mesaba Ore at H1bblng
in commenting on the article has a
a few pertinent truths in the fol-
lowing which about hits the nail
on the head:
An Ishpeming publication, APP
parently, absorbed the rantings OF
Federal Judge Page Morris, with
| reference to the wild extravaganza
of expenditure of mining company
money for public improvement OF
Mesaba range towns, and comes tc
the aid of the companies after the
manner that must be most pleasing
to those who inspired the rather
nonsensical gush.
But the scare won't work any
better from the Michigan mining
camp than it did from the Duluth
bench, because we're on, bigger
house. (There is, though, the
saving quality that the Michigan
editor is not actuated by the same
selfish influence that set the fedora
Judge a-going).
We are going to admit, right al
the start, that Hibbing has spen
|, vast sums of money on its public
, improvements, but we can po1n
with becoming pride to what w
got for the money.
There were a number OF Ions
years, you know, when the mlnln.
companies controlled Hibbing, an,

Buys Horses

The St. Croix Lumber Company
purchased &c horses in Duluth this
week to be used in their various
camps. The horses averaged $272
or S1S, 900 for the lot. They were
purchased from Barrett & thinner
man.
The purchase is taken as an
indication of increasing activity,
not only in the lumber camps, but
in other lines of work. The lum-
Der company representatives exg
planned that since business condi-
tions have revived they have not
been able. as they could a few
months ago, to hire horses. Farm
ers and others who possess them
require their use.

Swear to Ace

It will be the clever parents who
can take their child or children on
journey hereafter without pay
ing the proper fare. Ever since
the days when railroads first began
to turn their wheels it has been
customary for parents to get by
with their children with loss in
revenue to the corporations and
consequent saving to the family
purse. Conductors in many in
stances have refrained from de-
handing half fare when children
were 6 to years of age, or full
fare when they were between Is
and Is. Rather than start an I'M
pleasant argument with the father
and mother, or both, most conduc-
tors have accepted the word of the
adults concerning the age of their
progeny and let it go at that. As
a result the roads have lost con-
siderable revenue in years gone by.
Now this is all to be changed
The interstate commerce commits
sion has stepped in and asserts that
it is unlawful for roads to carry
children over 5 years of age, ex.
cept upon payment of Ealf fare and
that all children over IL must pay
full fare. Conductors are now re.
quired to insist upon the collection
of proper fare and if the parents OF
guardians still insist that the state
ment concerning the age is correct
then conductors, under a new
regulation, must ask parents tt
sign a blank which is in the nature
of an affidavit and which place!
them upon record in respect tt
the children's ages. 1t is believed
that many parents, rather thai
commit themselves to perjury, will
pay the proper fare. In any even
the road is protected and, in case o
spotter who was placed in ser
vice by the interstate commerc
commission to check up the con
ductors in this direction, both tn
conductor and the company ar
protected should a charge of violat
ing the law be filed.

Starting Fires With Kerosene

In the first six months of the
year 1914 more people were burned
to death in the state of Illinois by
starting fires with kerosene than
from any other cause.
1t is an exceedingly dangerous
practice, warns the state fire mar
shal's bulletin. So many fatal ac-
cidents were reported that in some
counties the coroner of the county,
who was called upon to investigate
these fatalities, issued warning
through the newspapers calling the
attention of the people to the
dangerous practice of starting fires
with kerosene. In the county OF
Stephenson, Illinois, five deaths
were reported in the period of one
year.
Kerosene should never be poured
from a can into a stove under any
circumstances. A stove may be
warm or there may be a coal of fire
left in it, and in either case a
serious explosion is likely to follow
Besides the liquid kerosene in the
can there is always present highly
inflammable and explosive gas. If
the stove is warm or few Goals
left in it, this gas may ignite and a
serious explosion occur, in which
the person starting the fire is likely
to be burned to death.
Kerosene starts fire III hurry.
1t produces about six times as
much heat as does wood in burning
and it can be readily lighted with a
match. Consequently it is un-
reasonable to expect that its use in
this connection will be entirely dis
continued. The only reasonably
safe course to follow if kerosene
must be used in starting fires is tc
poor the kerosene on the kindling
before placing it in the stove.
Remember, the less kerosene
there is in the can the more room
there is for the explosive gas and
consequently the greater danger Of
and explosion.

Lazy Husband Law

The legislative committee of the
Fourth District of the Federation
of Women's clubs of Minnesota has
taken the trail of the law husband.
They have framed the lazy hus-
band BILL" designed to cure hus-
bands of that tired feeling and of
tendencies to allow their wives to
support the family.
They propose to have these tired
husbands do some work, If not
without prison walls, then within
them, the state to provide remun-
erative labor for individuals of this
class. The spirit of the bill is
worthy. But it could 60 farther
and comprehend the wives and
families of men who are committed
to the penitentiaries, warehouses
and county jails for long terms
while their families are left to shift

for themselves. Work is good for
any man in a penal institution. 1t
is not fair that his family should
suffer for his dereliction. Part of
his earning capacity at least should
be diverted to their maintenance.
Such a measure would command
much support. Its practical oper-
alton could be worked out with
benefit to all concerned. The care
of people made dependents by the
state in committing men to institu-
lions for attractions of law is
much bigger problem than that
of correcting lazy husbands.
