PHILLIPS WANTS CITY WOOD YARD
Utilities Supply the Public
Wood Sc COrdPan Unconstitutional But Recent
Court Decision May Give Helpful Precedent.

Despite his failure last year to
secure a municipal coal yard for
Duluth, commissioner Phillips
proposes to establish a municipal
woodward, if earnest efforts can
bring it about.
The fuel problem promises to
be rather serious next winter,
even for Duluth. If wood can be
secured and sold to the public at
a reasonable price, it will help the
government and those who other
wise may 60 cold.
Although millions Of cords of
wood have rotted and burned in
northern Minnesota, that fuel
costs a prohibitive price in Du-
luth today. Prices for stove
wood range from So to $14 a
cord.
Commissioner Phillips believes
there is fair show to lay down
wood in Duluth SO that it can be
sold to the consumer at $6 q
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-06-15

cord. If the price runs as high
as So, it will be a benefaction TO
the public.
Other members of the city
council favor a municipal wood
yard if it can be legally estab-
lished and a price put on the fuel
that will save the public money.
City attorney Samuelson ex-
presses the opinion that the courts
will decide that the plan is un-
constitutional. When he went
before the last legislature, he
AYERS, he was plainly told that
there would be no use in author
izing such a utility for the rea-
son that, without doubt, it would
be adjudged unconstitutional.
State senator Adams took the
grounds, also, that the demand
for municipal coal yard was
"hysteria.'' Some of the So
called hysterical advocates of
the plan are very apt to carry
their hySteria to the polls, June IL.

S.. AMERICA SfiEL TIERS GAMBLING Den
ARNOLD GOT. THE PIE.

1t is gradually dawning on the
people of Koochiching county
that after all the undesirable
advertising that county has had
during the past two years about
the only person really benefited
is N. B. Arnold, the Duluth
attorney who was hired by the
majority Of the county board to
collect from the original grafters.
Arnold has not only failed to
collect anything but his fees
have reached AN amount where
all of the commissioners Of that
county who voted to employ him
who are candidates for re-elec-
ton, are decidedly on the anx-
ious seat. The people of Kooch-
iching county have been pa
tient and long-suffering, but the
Arnold stunt is pretty sure to
produce a very effective house
cleaning.-Bear River Journal.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-06-15

City attorney Samuelson In
formed the commissioners last
Monday that legislative meas
ure in Maine, legalizing munich
pal fuel undertakings, has run
the gauntlet Of the courts with
the result that the supreme court
has decided that the measure is
legal. This precedent may have
some effect on the legal opinions
of those who believe that the
Minnesota legislature cannot le-
galize municipal fuel yards.
Commissioner Phillips, proposes
that fuel wood be cut in long
lengths, instead of the usual 4-foot
lengths and that it be sawed up
in desired lengths when taken
from the cars. This plan, prob
ably, will save something in both
cutting and handling,
Henceforth, it seems most GER
tain, a municipal fuel yard is 60
ing to be a live, burning issue
in Duluth.

and figures existed that had es-
capped the distinguished visitor s
attention. He stated that Du-
luthians had not heard until that
day the reasons why Duluth was
not made a basic steel point,
therefore admitted that he was not
properly prepared to discuss or
refute Judge Gary's figures.

mission. The steel executives will
have no objection to- having the
facts presented to that body, so
that it may attest the accuracy of
the figures, learn the needs and
demands of Duluth and solve the
problem to the satisfaction of
Duluth and the steel interests"
Later, one of the visitors ex-
pressed the opinion that refer
ence of the matter to the Federal
Trade Commission would get the
matter into ''politics, " as though
taking a case into court were TAX
ing it, into "politics' and as
though the dear old Steel cor
poration were innocent Of use
and knowledge Of "politics.

MhRBLE-LINED COURTHOUSE
HOSTS s. 0. S. SIGNAL

Last Monday morning, the mar
ble-lined courthouse was observed
to be flying the international flag
signal Of distress.
The dear old Stars and Stripes
floated upside down on the court
house flag staff.
1t has been known for many
months that the Autocrat Of the
Courthouse was in dire distress
but last Monday morning was the
first time he has admitted it to all
the Earth and the blue Heavens
above the Earth.
Kindly members of Uncle Sans
civil service, toiling in the nearby
postoffice, promptly telephoned
the royal pile to know what the
trouble might be and if succor
could be given.
A servitor of the King of the
Courthouse quickly came forth,
pulled down the dear old emblem
and then ran it alOft again, right
side up with care.

the Duluth committee laid their

g1ished visitors met members OF
Duluth Commercial organiza-
tions in the ball room at the
|Spalding hotel Judge Gary, as
spokesman, handed out the usual
taffy but when his hearers bit
into it their tender teeth struck
a filling of manganese steel.
Charles P. Craig very compre,
hensively presented Duluth's side
Of the matter. As stated, Judge
Gary automatically twitted him
with a desire to do a bigger and
better real estate business. Only
cold comfort was received by
Judge Gary's listeners.
The most effective wedge was
driven into the front line of the
steel men by Francis Sullivan. He
expressed surprise that Judge
Gary and associates were not
familiar with promises made to
this community through Joseph
B. Cotton, when local representa-
tive of the U. S. Steel Corpora
tion, that Duluth would get a
proper share Of steel-making and
associated industries.
Mr.. Sullivan did not directly
question the veracity of Judge
Gary's figures but he expressed
the idea that, possibly, some facts

: Judge Gary, who is chairman
Of the u. S. Steel Corporation,
also rubbed it in by intimating
that he came to Duluth to talk
to broadly representative ag-
gregation Of citizens and not to
a small committee of only mo-
derately representative. men. If
one can read between the lines,
he even twitted Charles P. Craig,
chairman Of the local committee,
with wishing to do something to
make his real estate sell better.
Judge Elbert Gary, chairman
of the U. S. Steel Corporation,
James A. Farrell, president Of the
Big Corporation, and enough col
lateral associates to make up
about a dozen, arrived in Du-
luth last Wednesday morning, as
per schedule. There was the GUS

ONE ON ATKINSON.

George O'Sullivan, who is a
candidate for the, state senate
from a Duluth district, once got
a notion into his head that he was
about the right sort of timber for
recorder Of the Village Of Hib-
blng, and he still owes The Ore
for the campaign literature he is
sued in the vainglorious under
taking. Still, O'Sullivan, who is
a saloon-keeper, is about the right
sort of stuff for a Duluth sena-
torial representative, and our best
wishes go with him. The Mesaba

ers for the game. 'Just wait
until later on, in July and Aug
ust, when the big suckers begin
to run. The heat drives them
and their rolls from the cities
and when they take this trip to
cool off, we help along the good
work all we can"
Purser Jim Kelly is greatly ad-
mired by his shipmates for his
skill and cunning in twisting the
old tigers tail. Some suspect
that he has a working under
standing with Ikey Gould. One
profitable stunt is for Ikey or
Jim to boost a pot with such a
monster roll as to bluff and scare
out all others in the game, caus-
ing them to clay down" and let
the fat pot go to the cunning
buffers by default. ".. -
Timid voyagers, however, ex-
press fears that the crew will get
so absorbed in a big game some
dark night as to let the good old
ship pile up on a rocky reef.
Purser Kelly also handles mail
bags and express packages. Other
timid people express fears that,
some time, in a spell Of absent
mindedness, he may throw a mail
bag or an express package into
some vital jackpot.
On a recent voyage, purser
Kelly was so absorbed in the
game that he threw off the Belle
Isle mail bag at Tobin's Harbcr
and then, when the mistake was
discovered in the post-office, it
took quite a search to find the
right mail bag. The dear old
SIS. America had to lie at the
dock while the errors were being
corrected.
"Tobin's Harbor,'' whistled
tn old boat.
"Well, boys, I'll be back di-
rectly," exclaimed purser Kelly
as he threw down his hand.
The mail bag was thrown off.
The post-office clerk was unable
to unlock it. Scrutiny finally
showed that it was the Belle Isle
bag. e.
"Kelly," called the post-office
clerk at Tobin's Harbor, "give
me the right mail bag. This is
the wrong one." ~
81 cannot find any bag" Kelly
announced. A careful search fin
ally produced it and it was ex-
changed for the Belle Isle bag.
If a post-office inspector should
disguise himself and make the
trip from Duluth to Port Arthur
and around Isle Royale, he might
find something interesting to re-
port to the department.
Isle Royale fisherman grumble
because the Booth company. pays
but II cents a pound for fish
when some other companies meet
the fishermen's desires by pay
ing 13 cents. Some interesting
tales are told about short
weights, but all that is another
story and must await a more
convenient time for telling.
