THE MIGHTY CHIEF.

The Sunday before the late
County Option election, the Vets
printed and circulated hand bills
containing q lot of clap trap to the
effect that it would be impossible
to get booze and beer for family
use If the county went dry.
Having specific orders, as well
as knowing that there was a city
ordinance against the distribu
ton of hand bills, several of the
policemen were literal and faith
full enough to arrest several who
violated the ordinance by distri-
button of those hand bills.
When the viOlators were
brought to the Station and arrests
made a matter of personal infor-
nation to the Big Chief, he
waved his hand in a lordly way
and said:
LET 'em CO."
There is large number of old
fashioned people in Duluth who
complain that Chief McKercher
takes entirely too much latitude
in arresting this man or arbitrar-
lily releasing that man. These old
fashioned folk also believe that a
public officer should impartially
enforce the laws as carefully as
the private citizens should obey
them.

WRIGHT + DAVIS LANDS !.
MADE MANY MUCH MONEY
Charles D. skillings Writes Deeply Interesting
Account of Mesaba Range Properties Once Re-
jected by ROckefeller's Agent.

included the timber, the land and
the logging railroad. -
"The Weyerhaeusers decided
that they did not want the land,
and preferred to enter into a log
ging contract to have the timber
delivered to the Mississippi river.
So they purchased the timber for
S., 400, 900, and contracted for the
delivery Of the logs with the
Swan River Logging company,
which was organized for the pur.
pose.
"Wright & Davis Still owned
the fee of the lands and the log
ging railroad. The company at
one time offered TO sell the lands
for 100000, but there were no
takers, and the offer was later
withdrawn. Then, in the early
days of iron ore discoveries in
what is now the Hibbing district,
things began to happen. The
great Mahoning iron mine was dis
covered on the Wright & Davis
lands. How great it was did not
develop for some years. 1t is still
a great iron mine, and had
shipped 23,S33,999 tons up to the
end of 1916. The Stevenson mine
was subsequently discovered.
"James J. Hill sought to in
wade the Mesaba range, and in
1899 purchased the Wright &
Davis lands, and the railroad, for
100000. These lands, which
are the backbone of the Hill ore
holdings, also yielded 100000
600 feet of timber, mainly white
pine. Wright & Davis took their
100000 and re-invested it in
Southern pine, and in that man.
ner made another 100000.
Weyerhaeusers made good money
on the timber, and the Great
Northern Railway, and the own
ers of Hill ore certificates, are
dividing profits on income from
royalties and transportation on
iron ore resources which repre-
sent some hundreds Of millions
Of dollars. Everybody seems to
have made money that touched the
Wright & Davis holdings in any
way, with their unguessed po-
tential fabulous riches"
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-10-13

The preceding issue of the Rip
saw had an interesting narration
of how Frederick T. Gates, the
personal representative of John
D. Rockefeller, refused and then
failed to secure the holdings of
the Wright & Davis interests on
the Mesaba range. In a recent
issue of Skillings' Market Letter
there is a most interesting his
tory of the Wright & Davis un-
dertakings and holdings which
the Rip-saw, in the interests of
correct history, feels it a priv
lege to reprint, as follows:
"Fortune flirted with quite 9
number of people and interests
before she finally relinquished
her favor in full for the treasure
in the shape Of iron ore contained
in the Hill ore lands, formerly
owned by Wright & Davis, on
the Mesaba range. The bulk of
the Hill ore holdings is what is
known locally as the Wright &
Davis lands.
"This firm, composed Of A. w.
Wright and G. H. Davis of Sagi-
nav, Mich, and John Killorin
and M. H. Kelley of Duluth, &C.
cumulated some 5000 acres of
land on the Mesaba range for the
timber. The company purchased
fees. This happened in the years
Immediately preceding the dawn
of the iron industry on the Me-
saba range. The Wright & Davis
people heard Of iron ore being
found here and there on the
Mesaba, but the reports were not
given serious attention at first,
nor for some time in fact. Their s
was the timber and logging bust
ness, and it received their best
attention.
"a logging railroad was built
from Swan River, to a point near
Hibbing, to rail the logs to navig-
able waters to get them to market
The Weyerhaeuser interests be-
gan buying these logs, and later
the Weyerhaeusers were given
opportunity to purchase the en-.
tire Wright & Davis holdings on
the Mesaba for 81, 100000. This

sized punch board with a lot of
cheap junk for prizes. But it
costs suckers 10 cents to stick a
wire nail in a little hole in a lit
tie board. A punch at that
board pushed out a little paper
bearing the inscription. Serial
Number 92540-443A but no
prize. -.
The other device is a box with
envelopes. You pay 10 cents,
pull an envelope and draw a prize
perhaps. Usually, it is per-
haps. The Rip-saw Inspector
took a wallop at the box of en-
velopes and got a box of candy
of high grade manufacture but
quite old and dry-probably
damaged stock that was secured
at a heavy discount. Punch
board takers are close bargain
ers.
There is a dealer in punch
boards in Duluth but chief Of
police McKercher will not per-
NIT their use by hotels or cigar
dealers. The big, 5,0O0-hole
punch boards come from Chica-
go. When it comes to punch
boards, Commissioner of I'm
safety Silberstein and the Big
