Everyone knows of the mammoth
fortunes made by the organizers Of
these companies, but individual profits
of the public stockholders which are
seldom recorded are relatively magi-
cal.
Modest fortunes are accruing to the
holders of original small blocks of
stock in every one of the successful
companies operating in the popular
price field. and just such an oppor-
tunity is presented today by the

who informed me that the governor had
decided on taking territorial census.
He also was sending a man from st.
Paul to organize voting precincts in
Lake county. A territorial election was
in prospect. Alexander Ramsey and
General Sibley were candidates for
governor and w. w. Kingsbury as
delegate to congress. st. Louis county
then extended clear to the Canadian
boundary. Robert johnson was ap-
pointed to take census Of that part
now st. Louis county while I was ap-
pointed to enumerate that section now
covered by Lake and Cook counties.
Organizing Election Polls.
Starting out with two men, I was
overtaken by a man from st. Paul in
birch bark canoe with Paul and Jerry
Martell of Superior. He asked how
far it was to grand Marais; said that
the governor had sent him to open polls
up there for election; and, since he was
a stranger on the North Shore, wished
to keep us company. We camped to-
gether nights and duly arrived at Grand
Marais.
The polls were organized, the elec'
ton came off and, out Of 81 votes cast,
Alexander Ramsey received 81 and Gen.
eral Sibley 30. w. w. Kingsbury re-
ceived the entire vote for territorial
delegate to congress. After election, ]
finished my census work and returned
to Superior.
Thomas Clark and family went ia
Beaver Bay to reside and, during the
winters of 1857 and 1858 his daughter,
afterwards Mrs. Richard Realf, taught
school there. In November, H. Godfrey
sent in his resignation as post master
at Grand Marais and he and his two
Detroit companions abandoned the
place. The office remained vacant un.
til Henry Mayhem took possession of
the east side of the bay and Sam
Howenstine the west side. I do not
remember the year they went there but
it was in the early '70's.
The territory of Minnesota was ad.

Joe Laundry and Joe Blair with their
families were the only ones left from
Duluth to Sucker river after the re.

permanent settlement on the North
Shore from Duluth to Grand Portage
and it continued so until the coming of
the railroad.
H. H. Mccullough, postmaster at
Grand Portage, was not citizen OF
Minnesota, his home being in Newark

established a trading post at Grand

at the Rock Harbor mine which then
was working with large force OF

salt and barrels we wanted, therefore
five others and spent two months in
fishing at Siskowit bay.
At that time, Mccullough was heavily

there, found that he had trading posts
at Mountain Lake. Sagana Lake, Yer

THE PRODUCE MERCHANTS
DESTROY FOOD PRODUCTS
Continued from Page ~

Of course reporters were rushed
directly to Mr.. Baldwin, he being
the mouthpiece for all Michigan
street. He said, in part:
eyes, we burn up eggs, vege-
tables and other produce which
we do not want but it is nonsense
to say that we do it to maintain
high prices. This house and every
other house burns such stuff to
keep it from becoming offensive.
What we burn is wholly or partly
spoiled, therefore unfit for use.
eve have offered this stuff to
charitable institutions but they
refused it. Even street peddlers
will not take a chance in using
it by picking it over.
"When we buy eggs from a
farmer, we usually buy in large
lots. Then we candle the eggs
and those not standing the test
are put with the refuse and taken
to the incinerator. Doubtless
Prof. Cunday saw such eggs.
Burn the Vegetables.
"Onions and other vegetables
burned by us are so bad that we
cannot offer them to the trade.
They are useless to us and, since
we have been unable to give them
away, they are destroyed.
eve cannot have the public
running through our house to
pick such produce over but we
have been willing to deliver it
to any point in the city for that
purpose. On August ID, I wrote
Mayor Magney, in fact, offering
to do this but I have not yet re-
ceived reply"
Mr.. Baldwin's plain insinua-
ton was that Mr.. Magney was
trying to make capital out Of the
matter but was not proceeding
in good faith otherwise.
Mayor Magney's Statement.
When the matter broke in the
daily papers, Mr.. Magney was in
Columbus, Ohio. His friends were
much incensed by the tone Of Mr..
Baldwin letter and kilograms
were sent him. To the News
Tribune he wired:
"The law makes it a peniten-
tiary offense for man to burn
his own house where no one is
affected but himself. 1t ought
to be a greater offense to destroy
food by wholesale as apparently
has been done for no other pur-
pose than to keep up high prices
for the city of Duluth.
81 commenced an investigation
Of food destruction at the incin-
orator some time ago. Load after
load of food from Michigan street
was being dumped at the incin-
orator every week and this has
been going on for years. One
week this summer 100 bushels of
onions were burned. . Later I saw
26 barrels Of onions at the incin-
orator ready to be dumped, with
another similar load to arrive.
Last winter We paid Is cents q

pound for onions in Duluth. This
is a sample Of methods used.
Baldwin Gets Wise.


Baldwin Gets Wise.
"After I commenced the in
vestigation it is apparent that Mr..
Baldwin found out and sent me
the letter that he refers to, prac-
tically admitting the great food
destruction. I did not reply but
took up the matter with Mr..
March of the State Public Safety
commission"
Mr.. Magney had not returned
from the east when this article
was written.
When Mr.. Baldwin states that
farmers sell eggs in large guam
titles and that they keep them
until the spoil, he makes every
person laugh that ever lived on a
farm and handled eggs. Farmers
are noted for quick and prompt
sale and delivery Of eggs. Many
farmers cannot afford to hold
their eggs; but few have facili-
ties for so doing; and the average
farmer wishes to get them mar
keted before they spoil.
When Mr.. Baldwin declares
that peddlers will not pick over
partly spoiled produce, he admits
that he never has stood in front
of many places along Michigan
street. Any Duluthian has seen
scores Of peddlers and hucksters
sorting, picking over and arrang-
ing large quantities Of imperfect,
overripe or damaged fruits and
vegetables, preliminary to hawk
ing them over the city or taking
them to small stores, at reduced
prices.
Safety Commissioners Met.
Mr.. Magney speaks of refer.
ring the matter to Mr.. March OF
the State Public Safety Commits
sion. Not long since, couple Of
the safety Commissioners met
some of Duluth's dealers in hu-
| man food products at the Com
mercial Club, Sen. Geo. M. Peter
son presiding.
At that meeting, Mr.. Baldwin
did not make a good impression
for Michigan street and showed
himself in poor sympathy with
plans and purposes. He declared
that Michigan street had ample
storage room for the potato crop
around Duluth but that the COM
mission men would not pay any
better than Minneapolis prices.
After that meeting, there was
some adverse but quiet comment
on Mr.. Baldwin, lack of warmth
and interest.
There's a Prussian atmosphere
of Michigan Strasse ueber
Allies" down there in Mr.. Bald
wins immediate vicinity.
Baldwin's Big Monopoly.

 In conversations with the Assocat- ed Press, leaders of the Petrograd Council of Deputies declared that the provisional governments trump card was that the railroad employees were entirely on it's side and that obduracy by Gen.

Ask For Federal Aid.

Representatives of about 8 high schools met at the Department of Edu cation to discuss the requirements of the federal Board of Education for re- ceivins aid under the provisions of the Smith-Hughes act for vocational edu- cation in agriculture, home economies, industrial and trade subjects. About 25 or 30 schools made application for the federal aid, agreeing to meet the requirements of the State Board of Education and also of the federal Board of Vocational Education. A rep reser ,ative of the State Boar1 of EGu cation will takes these applications and the proposition of the State BoarG of Education to Washington for the approval of the federal Board of Voca- tional Education. The amount due Arkansas under the provisions of tho Smith Hughes act is S139O0 for agri- cultural purposes, 5000 for indus trial, trade and home economic sub iects. and $S.550 for the training of teachers in these subjects.
