assumed that Sen. Nord will be much
more discreet than his predecessor.
Concerning the new officers as well as
the old ones, st. Paul paper says:
"Senator Nord is in the land bus
mess as well as politics. AS member
of the senate he has voted against all
bills that would tax the steel trust
"Hohman is a banker and capitalist.
He inherited a fortune. Good roads
are said to be his hobby. He was de-
feated as candidate for the senate
in 1914.
"Senator Patrick 81. McGarry Of
Walker, president of the association,
owns summer resort. He has been
true to the Big Interests in every vote.
"Kelsey Chase, treasurer, is a st.
Paul banker. He formerly was state
bank examiner.
"The directors, in addition to Davis
and Verify, are Senator w. F. Brooks
of the Backus-Brooks Lumber com.
pany, another member Of the Big In.
terests; David G. Mckenzie of Lake
City, political boss of Wabasha coun.
ty; Daniel P. O'Neill of Thief River
Falls, member Of the state board Of
grain appeals and former state senator,
defeated in the last election by o. A.
Naplin, Lacquer; Frank Webb of Du-
luth, manager of the Republic Steel
4 Iron company; Ernest T. Winship of
Owatonna, travelling salesman and
farmer, chosen as representative Of
the State Automobile association.
"Verity has been rabid opponent
of the Nonpartisan league, and was
one of the Republican editors who lob
! bied in the Legislature at the regular
session for repeal of the primary
| law"
Senator Nord says that new directors
will be elected before long. Nonpar-,
tisan league representatives declare
that the association will try to wipe
out corporation stains by electing J. B.
Stephan of Todd county and Herman
Schmechel Of Renville county as two
of the new directors. Both these men
are Nonpartisan league senators, there
fore assumed to be above suspicion of
doing things like Davis and Verify, or
flirting with the dollars of the cement
trust.
! Senator P. H. McGarry, in addition
to being famous pinch-hitter for the
substantial interests, Northern Mime
sofa and president of the Minnesota
Highway association, organized the
State Babcock Club, in the interests of
the proposed amendment, at Little
Falls, October 9. The nucleus of this
club is said to be the jefferson High

TEACHERS OF WINNIPEG
GET SALARY INCREASES
Local Educators and Citizens
May Find New Schedule
OF Real Interest.

. Canadian school teachers seem to be
suffering from H. G. L. and, conse-
quently, clamoring for salary increases.
The teachers of Winnipeg recently
we're given an increase in salaries. The
Free Press declares that the increase
will be heartily endorsed by citizens
generally but that, after looking over
the new schedule Of salaries, it does
not seem possible to work up much
enthusiasm for them and that the in
creases evidently were made after ex-
ereising the very maximum of finan-
cial caution. It is, of course, quite
Scotchy to be cautious in money mat
ters and Winnipeg has goodly supply
of Scotch blood.
"nrtions Of an editorial in the Free
Press may be of interest to Duluth
educators and near-educators, as fol-
lows:
principals of high schools will, dat
Ming from Jan. 1, 1920, begin on min
Nimum salary of $3,400, and rise by six
annual increases of 800 to a maximum
of $4,000, weekly raise of their sala-
AVS VA coAAOeAAuS A0So CAdu @S'
"Principals of elementary schools of
10 to Is rooms begin at $4,000, and
are eight years in climbing. to the max
imum of 5000. Elementary grade
teachers will get $1,000 as a minimum,
and are ten years in reaching the max
imum of 81 500, the annual increase be-
ing $50, or something less than 81 a
week. Women school attendance Off
GERS are now scheduled for minimum
of 5000 a year, with $1,000 as the
maximum.
"These are taken at random from
the schedule published and seem to
be fairly typical Of its conservative
character: 1t is as far removed as
possible from the slightest faint of
frenzied finance, and one is somewhat
nonplussed to remember that these fig
ures represent an increase on present
salaries being paid by the city of Win
nipeg to the men and women respon-
sible for the education and physical
welfare of its children.,''

NORTHERN MINNESOTA FIRE
SUFFERERS ASSN. OPENS AN
OFFICE IN CLOQUET.

The Minnesota Fire Sufferers asso.
citation has opened an office at No.
600 Cloquet avenue, in Cloquet, and is
carrying on a campaign for members
among the White Pine City's fire vic.
tins. This organization was effected
early last winter. Local lawyers, ex-
tremely friendly to the Big Interests
now held more or less responsible for
the fires and consequent loss of prop
erty, at about the same time organized
and. incorporated the Cloquet Rein
bursement association. That organiza-
ton started off with quite a flourish,
securing at least couple of hundred
members. e..
But the Cloquet association seems to
be in a state Of innocuous desuetude,
as Hon. Mr.. Skemp might say. The
three lawyers behind it seem to be
having hard work to hold the men,
bership in line. There was almost q
riot and rebellion when it was an
nounced in meeting few weeks ago
that the three promoters, 50 to speak,
lawyers Diesen, Cox and Michaelson,
had arranged with Messrs. Arnold &
Arnold, of Duluth, to fight the cases
for the members and to endeavor to
secure damages against those alleged
to be responsible.
At that time, the Rip-saw was round
ly roasted for printing the forest fire
news and for keeping the fire victims
posted on what fire victims, lawyers,
associations, the relief commission, and
even the courts were doing. Since
then, nothing Of an open nature seems
to have transpired. If the Dauntless
Three, as those Cloquet lawyers may be
called, are taking any active action,
they have it well covered up.
Recently, considerable number Of
members Of the Cloquet Reimburse

STRONG FOOD HOG RING
EXISTS IN VANCOUVER
Brave Preacher Bucks "Ring,"
Charging That a Combine =
Has Been Proven.

It looks as if the greedy, grunting
Food Hogs have established themselves
on Water street in Vancouver, B. G.
In Duluth, they have their habitat on
Michigan street, but their long tusks,
aggressive grunts and their greedy
stunts are similar to those on Water
street, in Vancouver.
Chess Brothers did not belong to the
Produce Association, as the Food Hogs
call their legal organization for II. G.
L. promotion in Vancouver, therefore
they seem to have been boycotted.
They were not men to kiss hands that
slap their faces, therefore they brought
suit for damages against one McNair
in one case and one Oppenheim in an
other.
Rev. A. E. Cook, pastor of the First
Congregational church in Vancouver,
seems to have been enough of mill
tant preacher to have bucked the
"ring," as he termed it, in a sermon
from his pulpit. That sermon later
was printed in circular form and dis
tributed.
Then there came a public Cost of
Living inquiry, just like Duluthians
are trying to do through Mayor Mag
ney's special committee. At that Cost
Of Living inquiry, Rev. Mr.. Cook con-
tended that enough evidence had been
produced to show that q combine ex.
listed among the Water street whole
salers and that the "ring" had boy
cotted Chess Brothers, not members Of
the Produce Association. 2
In regard to his charges that large
quantities Of foodstuffs had been de-
stroyed at the city incinerator, and
that this had been part Of the scheme
to maintain prices, Rev. Mr.. Cook said
that, while he did not charge that
there had been wholesale destruction
Of foodstuffs fit for consumption, he
did maintain that produce was hold for
higher prices until it had become un.
fit for food.
Instead Of being local, these Food
Hogs and their greedy stunts seem to
be international.

SOME QUICK HEDGING.

Mr.. J. K. Edwards went into the Of
flee of a, Cloquet dealer in electrical
supplies and handed him a circular,
explaining the purposes Of the Mime
sofa Fire Sufferers association, and
inviting Cloquet fire victims to secure
the benefits of its services.
The merchant asked a number Of
questions which Mr.. Edwards politely
and promptly answered.
81 have taken an unfair advantage
Of you," then said the Cloquet business
man. 81 represent the opposition"
"Oppositions Do I get you right,
brothers" quickly inquired Edwards.
"Can it be that there is. anyone in
Cloquet opposed to the victims of that
terrible forest fire getting their rights
under the law if they are entitled to
damagess Is there anyone so low and
vile as to oppose these people in their
legal rights to secure damages and jus.
tees If there is, let me know it, right
now.'
The local commercial magnate saw
that he had made an unfortunate slip
of the tongue, enlightening though it
was to Edwards, therefore he com.
menced to back up, explain and to al
lege that he did not mean his remark
that way.
Any man who meant such a remark
in the way that it was said and the
way it sounded to Edwards would not
be apt to prosper long in business in
Cloquet, especially with the great ma
iority of fire victims.

New Mexico Boundary Dispute

DENVER, COL0.-Notification that
n bill OF complaint by the state of New
Mexico against the state Of Colorado
was on its way for filing In the United
States supreme court, in connection
with a long standing boundary dis
pute between the two commonwealth,
was received July by Attorney Gen
eral Victon Il. Keyes.
According TO the papers received by
Mr.. Keyes, New Mexico asks that its
northern boundary line be fixed as
il was established by survey made
in 1902. Land officials are not clear
as to the exact effect that the award
ing OF New Mexico's claims would
have upon the boundary, but 1t is said
that the Carpenter line varys about
one mile, In some places north and in
some places south from the present
boundary.
Two years ago, Colorado voluntar-
lily ceded three square miles Of Ar
chuelta county to New Mexico, in an
effort to settle the controversy, which
dates from what Is known as the
Darling survey" made in 1865.

Shaking Down the Oil Industry


The special session OF the Mexican
congress to deal with the oil situation
was doubtless devised TO hold up the
oil industry.
II may even have been encouraged
by speculators I'm our country on wild
raid Of profits on oil stocks and mar
kets.
Some OF the greatest oil producers
and refiners In the u. 3. are equally
interested In Mexican oil properties.
The Mexican plea that all alien oil
producers must come under Mexican
government license is only a pretext.
American holdings In Mexico are
principally on leases and lands bought
from private land owners and almost
none are operating on lands leased or
bought from the Mexican government
OIL production is crying need OF
world today not only in foreign lands
but I'm our own country. The problem
seems well toward solution here but
the Mexican situation is apparently
far from settled for American interests

Sells Only For Cash

Jack Tidmore, owner OF The Tog-
gerry. says business is fine. He has
been asked several times lately how he
can afford to keep four clerks. Here's
his answer: "If every person in this
state knew the truth about my business
which l expect them to know, by this
time next year l will be working 10
clerks"
Jack says before the camp came here
he had only one clerk, and hardly kept
him busy. Since he's put his business
on cash basis and is giving the peo-
pie that pay their hard-earned money
the benefit. it's been growing ever
since. He says selling for cash he can
save his customers at least 10 to %
per cent ON every purchase.
