was the accusation made at a hearing
by legislative committee on the
county division bills as introduced by
the Iron Range members of both
houses. Fully ESQ residents of Du-
luth and the Range journeyed to St.
Paul to voice their opposition, but
they did not expect to meet Mayor
Victor Powers of Hibbing, who in a
talk bristling with sarcasm pointed
the accusing finger at each speaker
on the other side and told of his steel
and mining connections. Mayor Pow.
ers talk was the hit of the meeting
and he undoubtedly made votes for
the division cause. With county op

people, is due to be the big thing. IT.
is claimed that the division crowd has

For several weeks committee from
the house, headed by Representative
T. F. Teigen, has been investigating
the management of the state school
for the blind at Faribault and re-
port is expected sho rtly. Representa-.
tive Teigen made the charges on
which the investigation is based and
the chances are that when he reports

moved. The investigation grew out

that the proper place for him was one

Persons hunting small game, even
in the counties in which they live,
must get 81 license, it is provided
in one of numerous amendments to-
the game and fish laws reported in
the form of bills by the house game

ton allowed Is where one hunts on

i quires 81 license only when the hun
ter is outside his own county. 1t is

from fees and fines collected by the
game and fish commission, or double
! the present total receipts.
