GRUBBs PUTS UP A, BLUFF.

The previous issue Of the Rap
saw, plainly informing the peo-
pie of Proctor about Supt. E. c.
Grubb's alleged monkey-b business
in the public schools, kicked up
whirlwind of excitement and
discussion. = Although the citi-
zens regret that facts apparently
warrant charges of immortality
and indecency against sSupt.
Grubbs, they feel that every pa
iron Of the schools should know
all the facts.
, Supt. Grubbs is supposed to be
Oh a stock ranch near O'Neill,
Butte county, Neb., this summer.
It is stated that he has refused
to resign, as demanded by the
board Of education, and he also
puts up a bluff of starting suit

familiarities with little school

INTERNATIONAL GOSSIP.

When it comes to running for
governor, Victor L. Power seems
shyer than a gazelle. At the
same time, organized labor has
failed to unite on the proposition
to put gubernatorial candidate
in the field. Some Of the ''lead-
ers" probably favor Burnquist.
strange as it may appear. Many
more are quite strong for
Wheaton. Still others are quite
likely to support the candidate
Of the National party.
At the present time, Olaf O.
Stageberg Of Red Wing is the
gubernatorial candidate Of the
National party. But he took a
place on the ticket merely to &C.
commodate, with the understand
ing that he would withdraw il
the best interests Of the party so
indicated.
1t is advisedly stated that the
National party's state central
committee has a dark horse in
grooming and that he may be
brought out in due course. He
is said to be a Scandinavian
quite strong. and popular, bat
not so strong, popular and well
known as John Lind.
There is real talk of running
John Lind as an independent
candidate for governor against
Burnquist and Wheaton. No one
can say positively that he will
consent to run but he considers
himself something of an cor.
phan' politically and he might
decide to enter the fight.
If John Lind consented to run
for governor, it is very probable
that the National party would
support him. It is quite likely
that he would get a very sub
stantial support from the Non.
partisan league but not a formal,
loudly spoken endorsement. Many
democrats would put an x op.
posite the name of Honest John u
Lind. Progressives and even
radicals would be attracted to
his cause rather than repealed
What 3 the Scandinavian voters
would do is a question, but it is
well known what they did when
he previously ran for governor.
Gov. Burnquist is carrying sew,
eral heavy handicaps and there
are many willing tc stay up
nights to get stumbling blocks in
his way.
The organization democrats
seem to be good supporters Of
Wheaton but enthusiasm has
not reached pitch that causes
insomnia. ,-t.

Magic, in the interests of Walter
johnson, decided that he and his
friends would not 60 to further
expense, therefore abandoned the
recount before it was finished.
The ballots were found to be so
uniformly correct and the
changes so slight in the vote that
it seemed useless to take further
time and money.
The outlook now is that the
contest for the office of sheriff
will be a warm one and worth
going some miles to see. Both
candidates have strong, warm,
loyal supporters. They have
contested in the past. There is
considerable heat between the
two and blood pressures are like
ly to rise still more rather than
to get lower.
If G.. F. Naughton beats T. II.
Little for the commissionership
in the Second district, it is whis-
pered that Bert Kribsback,, the
man who built a bridge that
broke its back, will be superin-
tendent of construction.
The race hardly has warmed
up yet. Mr.. Naughton proposes
to ride into office on q split log
road drag while commissioner
Little proposes to win out by vir-
tue of his record and his ability
to get from trench to trench.
Up in the Sixth district,
Charles Penttila is credited with
having recently strengthened his
defenses and done clever work
to get the upper hand Of Col.
Harvey.

the situation in city, villages,
farms and wilderness can see any
show : for Halden's election.
Candidate Bergen, the man
who will take old chief Halden's
scalp next November, is attend
ing to. his duties as city clerk
during office hours and cam
paigning during his leisure time
in that quiet, dignified, effective
way Of his. 80.
TT is generally believed, how
ever, that Walter Fl. Bergen will
not need to make any strenuous
efforts to secure election. The
people have decided on a change
in county auditor and they will
see that it is safely and surely
made at the coming election.
Those who know both Bergen
and Halden extremely well de-
clare that the former, today, for
money, marbles or chalk, can give
better exposition Of the duties
of an auditor and the county
auditors office than can Halden,
himself, after thirty years ex-
perience in and around that of
flee and enjoyment Of close to
$125,O00 in salary and fees from
the kindly old county.
The people also have deter
mined to see what. is in those
pigeon :, holes in the auditorial
vaults and the proper way is to
make a change in auditors.

UNION LABOR CONGRESSMAN

So far as Duluth, st. Louis
county and the Eighth congress
sional district are concerned, the
big event of the week swas the
nomination of William L. Carss
as a union labor candidate for
congress.
Last Sunday, members of or
gained labor in northern Min
nesota, met in Duluth and, with
enthusiasm, selected their candi-
date to oppose Clarence B. Miller.
Mr.. Carss is a strong man, phys
ically, Intellectually, politically
and even financially. He plans
to stump the district and no one
will be surprised if congressman
Miller is forced to visit his con-
'stituents to look after his sadly
neglected fences. Mr.. Carss has
been progressive Wilson demo
GRAFT, as well as strong, con.
slstent union man, therefore no
disloyalty racket can be worked
against his candidacy.
The delegates of organized
labor were called to order last
Sunday by Joel Lichten, temper
ary chairman. There were 76
accredited delegates present.
John E. Jensen was elected per-
manent chairman and Jdls j. An

PETER PINCHBAR'S COM
..- PLANT.

The Duluth, Missabe & North
ern section men are not properly
pleased with the way the federal
government treats them in the
beginning Of its railway con
troll. ..
"Under the previous scalc,'
said Peter Pinchbar, a section
man, eve got % cents an hour or
$3.50 for 10-hour day. For Sun
day work we got time and a half,
or Is hours. Our boarding house
charge was $3.50 a week.
Under, federal control our pay
has been raised to 301a cents an
hour or $3.05 a day, but we get
only straight time for Sunday
work. Then, in addition to the
loss Of five hours credit for Sun
day work our boarding house
charge has been raised to $3.50
a week.
"a section man has no snap.
His work is hard, exacting and
must be carefully done He is
subject to call at any hour of
the night or day, and on Sun
day. If an engine plows up the
track at 2 a. m. we are called
out and must work at high pres
sure until the damage is re-
paired. :
"When you compare the wage
possibilities under the new and
old scale it will be seen that the
humble section man, faithful, ef-
ficient and prompt though he
may be, has not received an i'm
provement in conditions in keep
ing with the advanced cost of
food, clothing and the task of
keeping his body and breath in
action. -;
~ hope that God will do some
thing for the poor section man,
for the federal administration
does not seem inclined to do So. "
With these words old Peter
Pinchbar took a big pinch Of Co.
penhagen snuss and began lamp
ing dirt and gravel under the
ties with his tamping bar.

William McMurtrie, H. Darrach
and j. E. Code. Messrs. Long
and Darrach were the successful
contestants. -

have money enough to buy a ticket
back to Duluth. He had, in fact,
taken a companion with him and it
is said that their finances reached
such a low stage that, for weeks,
they wrote soap advertisements in
rhyme as "pot boilers" In despair,
on that day of final rundown, Mr..
Stone pawned a valuable watch to
secure the price of ticket back to
Duluth.
The cocktails at the hotel had a
fascination for the Duluth pro-
moter. To have a final taste and
to raise his spirits a few notches,
he bough tand absorbed two OF
them. They put new courage into his
heart and he decided he would not
leave Philadelphia without one more
effort with Mr.. Tower. Picking up
his maps, title deeds and ore samples,
he pushed his way into Mr.. Towers
private office and, in firm tones, de-
clared.
"Mr. Tower, you must give me q
hearing"
"'Mr. Stone, I admire your per-
sistence," replied Mr.. Tower. "Tell
me all about it,
Then George G. Stone talked as
he never had talked before. He
showed his ore samples, maps, title
deeds and explained all details in
a clear, convincing way. After q
long conference, Mr.. Tower declared
that he would go into the deal. .
"Take this check" said the CAPT.
talist to the promoter. when you
need more, let me know"
AS George G. Stone walked out
of that office, he tucked into his
pocket check for $4,000.
That was in 1880 or 1881, thirty
years ago. Today, George G. Stone,
George R. Stuntx and Charlemagne
Tower, ST., are In the Land Beyond
but their work lives largely.
Mr.. Stone fastened back to Du-
luth and started the wheels Of pro-
gress and activity at his iron mines.
For couple of years operations were
in the name of George c. Stone &
Company. About the beginning of
1883, the Minnesota Iron Company
was organized. It now Is an integral

ton. Tower was founded and the
mines at Soudan opened up. With
less than $4,000 tons of iron &C
tually ia sight, the Duluth and Iron
Range Rail Road was started in
1883 and completed to Tower in
1884. The first trainload of iron ore
from the Vermilion range was
shipped to the dock at Two Har-
bors July 81, 1884.
There was a big gold rush to Lake
Vermilion from the Head of the
Lakes and st. Paul in 1866. Today,
Gold island, in Lake Vermilion shows
quartz vein and shaft that was
put down over half century ago.
That rush was at least in part due
to prospecting work done in 1855
by the late George R. Stuntz, in
which year he also found the out
crops of iron ore at which now are
commonly called the Soudan mines.
About a quarter Of century ago,
Mr.. Stuntz wrote an article in which
he told his experiences in 1855 and
something of the story Of examining
the iron ore deposits at various times
and then financing and developing
the properties. In substance, his mar
rative was as follows:

PARTY LINES.

Lawton Constitution: COnServ-
ative citizens everywhere will de
plore the attempt on the part OF
our misguided statesmen to reopen
the party fights that have been our
custom in years past. Nothing at
this time could be worse for the
country than bitter political fight
throughout the land. Every inter
est of the country demands unity OF
sentiment and action. Republican
politicians could not hope for ad
vantage except at the expense or
great harm to their country, and
such action on the part OF Demo-
Gratis could be nothing but suicidal.
Doubtless there have been mis-
takes made and blunders committed
what administration has been free
from them? But hese mistakes have
not been such as to call for a politi-
cal upheaval, We are not ready to
admit to our enemy that our leaders
have been unequal to the task re
quired of them. If the malcontents
will lay aside personal ambitions and
put their shoulders to the wheel in
an honest endeavor to achieve the
great task before us they will find
their ambitions much surer of at
tainment than by instigating a fight
that could have no other effect than
to embarrass the administration.
