ness seems to be a most important
requirement to secure certifica-
tion of availability by the civil
service commission. From that
qualified list a selection is made
by the post-office department.
There is feeling among many
that a seasoned, reputable, Sue
cessful and efficient member of
the local staff Of post-office en-
ployes should be the next post
master for Duluth. If the Wash
ington magnates look at things
the same way, there will be ample
opportunity to select such man.
Four post-office employees have
filled their applications with sup
porting facts and figures, viz:
T. E. Considine, superintendent
of mails; E. M. Barker, superin-
tendent of registry; Henry Grue-
sen, chief stamp clerk; O. Anton
Wicklund, carrier No. 43.
When it comes to civilians,
there are plenty Of applicants and
to spare. A majority of the bunch
have been persistent and peren-
nial applicants at the political pie
counter. Many Of those have eaten
there long and we'll. The respec-
tive members Of that majority
have, at divers times, either
shaken the plum tree vigorously
or strenuously tried for a chance
to do so. Behold the list Of con-
fident, aspiring patriots, viz:

the specious words, Il wish to treat
you right
"Sometimes the Food Hog will
pick a row and thereby get an
excuse to call off a deal that he
does not wish to carry through
according to original agreement.
minneapolis produce dealers
smile and wag their heads depre-
catingly when Michigan street is
mentioned. They are wise to the
bunch and have small respect for
measly methods so often employed
to squeeze a few dollars out Of a
shipping producer"
One favorite trick is to run
down the price Of produce and
then put large quantities in q
warm basement where it quickly
spoils and has to be incinerated.
Suppose, for example, that cab
bage has been hammered down to
five or six dollars a ton and large
quantities have been acquired
through the necessity of the rails
ers to sell or inability to store it.
A heavy percentage OF the cheap
cabbage spoils and is thrown away.
Other cabbage, carefully stored, 3,
then is sold out at handsome fig

Hog follows a policy Of selling
one ton Of cabbage at $50 rather
than five tons at $12 a ton.

SUPERIOR, Jan. 22.-(Special
to the Rip-saw)-There is much
indignation over the fact that the
authorities permit the two in
nocent little girls6f Madam Burn
side to remain amidst the lawless-
ness, immortality and contaminat-
ing influences that surround
them.
There are two of these little
girls, one eight years old and the
other eleven. They daily see vice
and aawlessness in all their naked
nastiness.
Some time ago, when Madam
Burnside was entertaining a big
lumberjack, the youngest girl
entered Madam's boudoir and
observed the two in their shame
lessness. She thought that the
big. brute - was attacking her
mama and was so frightened that
she cried and screamed in terror
at the top of her childish voice.
Some of those credited with be-
ing active in the formation Of a
law and order league, a veritable
vigilance committee, declare that
if the police or the humane So
ciety do not take charge of the
two little girls, it will be neces-
sary to regulate the Burnside
bunch with axe, tar and even rope.
Colonel and Madam Jim Burn
side are prominent members of
Banks avenue society and Tower
avenue business circles. The
family candy store, a sort of par
lor in which the Burnsides are
accused Of keeping bristly blind
pig, is located at COG Tower ave-
nue.. The distinguished couple
formerly resided at 706 Banks
avenue but, thanks to worldly
prosperity, a handsome family
residence was purchased some
time ago for $4,000 at 1109 Banks
avenue.
Some of the boys who know, as
we'll as Rip-saw Inspector, allege
that booze is sneaked into the
Burnside residence and, from
there, Madam takes it in satchel
to the candy store. Col. Jim, in
turn, selects likely guests at the
candy store and sends them to
Madam for entertainment at the
family residence.
The Burnside bunch catches the
foolish sports both going and COM
ing.
Once upon a time, a detective
alleges, Madam Burnside brought
Col. Burnside a satchel Of booze
from home to store. As she
entered the candy depot, she
dropped the booze satchel on the
floor. Col. Jim picked it up and
took it to back room where he
slowed away the stimulating
contents.
It is alleged that police officer
Rabideau was standing in the
candy store at the time; that he
well knew Illicit liquor was in the
satchel; that he paid absolutely no
attention to the violation of the
dry ordinance. Some Of the boys
even declare that officer Rabideau
takes the dark brown taste out of
his mouth with spungent gargle
contained in the bottles from that
convenient satchel.
But to get back to Madam
Burnside's progeny. There for
merly was a boy about is years
old. When Madam was away some
months ago, Col Jim drove the
boy out of the home because he
was getting old enough to see,
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-01-25

understand and know too much
Of the Burnside methods of col
lecting coin. Later, the mother
put the boy in some school.
On one occasion, it is alleged,
kindly Madam took a chap into
her home and kept him until she
annexed a fat roll of money he
carried. She fed him and enter
tanned him but finally kicked him
out, giving him 25 cents with
which to get home. It may have
been this fellow who played Adam
and Eve with Madam Burnside in
her home, in the presence of the
innocent S-year-old girl, and it
may have been that same degen-
crate who tried to induce the child
to take indecent liberties with his
person.
The previous issue of the Rip
saw told how Col. Burnside was.
driven out: of Ashland ), how an
Ashland redlight lady regularly
came to Superior to hand Col. Jim
real money; how he relieved her
of her diamonds on one visit and
how death finally took away the
loafer's human meal ticket.
Col. Jim Burnside Jared lily
after the death of the Ashland
woman. In Superior's sopping
wet days, he loafed around Gun
derson's saloon at Eighth and
Tower. He was attracted by the
energy and industry of his present
consort as she "hustled" up and
down the town. ....--....
"Stick with me, kid, and you
will wear diamonds" were the
seductive words that he continually
poured into her ears. -.
In those days, Col. Jim owed
Mrs. Powers considerable back
room rent. He also owed his en-
ployers money that he had col
lected from buyers of suits, which
money he had used instead Of
turning in.
When the two formed their
alliance, the woman gave the fell
low money to pay up back room
rent as we'll as money to satisfy
the claims of his employers. She
also advanced the funds to start
the Burnside candy store at COG
Tower avenue.
But all has not been bliss with
the Burnsides. Col. Jim is credited
with having a playful habit Of
pulling Madam's hair and even
blackening her eyes.
About the middle of last June,
when Superior was yet legally
wet, Col. Jim tanked up a bit and
then came down to the candy store
from the Saratoga hotel with a
fair but frail creature on his arm.
Madam Burnside resented that act
and accused her companion in low
moral endeavor with Inconsistency.
Col. Burnside made a playful
rush for the poor woman. He
chased her into the street where
he batted her in the eye and
yanked her glorious hair. Such
playfulness was resented by
a young chap who promptly
knocked down the playful colonel.
A crowd quickly gathered and a
bunch Of soldier boys proposed
hanging on a lamp-post for Col.
Burnside, when the police inter
fered. Burnside promptly took
safety in the rear Of. the candy
store. .." ..
Madam Burnside once joyously
told what a great favor Jim did
her when he taught her to sell
beer at $1.O0 a bottle and con-
sented to accept commission OF
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-01-25

There is a strong suspicion that
at least one of the "Big Four"
on Duluth's produce commission
row plans to become producer
as we'll as vendor Of vegetables.
1t is believed that Col. Dunlop,
militant manager Of the Knudson
Fruit Co., has invested heavily in
Wrenshall market garden land
and that he will employ his own
/ production in regulating prices
] paid for produce Of others.
P. H. Utley recently sold
i his garden ground to Winfield
s Holmes. The published price was
$65,OOO for close to 400 acres, with
building improvements worth any
where from $4,000 to $4,000.
Mr.. Holmes owned something like
100 acres and it is understood that
he will put that with the Utley
property and form a corporation.
John J. Dunlop, president of
the Knudson Fruit Co., and B. G.
Church, a specialist IN Wrenshall
lands, have been scouting around
out there a great deal lately.
Neither man scouts around to kill
time or for fun, therefore it is
safe to say that something big is
doing.
1t is figured out that Holmes
will look after practical produc-
ton. B. G. Church will supply
money and method of procedure.
Col. Dunlop, presumably, will ante
with some cash and furnish the
market outlet for the produce.
d AS a result of this plan, the
Knudson Fruit Co. will be as
sured of certain quantity OF
vegetables. The Holmes-Dunlop
Church combination will expect to
make profits on the production Of
the Wrenshall tract. By buying
his own stuff, Col. Dunlop can, to
a certain extent, at least, lay a
foundation for low prices that he
will pay other producers.
When Bill Smith wants $1.OO a
bushel for his potatoes, the canny
member of Michigan streets big
Four" can inform him that Mr..
Holmes, of Wrenshall, has just
supplied the Knudson Fruit Co. a
car of better potatoes at a much
lower price.
There are tricks in many trades
and such leverage as that would
not be spurned by the average
Food Hog.
incidentally, it is believed that
Mr.. Holmes paid only $4,000 for
the Utley property and, instead Of
paying $4,000 in cash, he really
paid nothing down. Payments are
yet to come. It is not impossible
that B. G. Church yet will get back
the land that he sold Holmes at
1925 an acre. But all that is an
other story.
! Wrenshall has the room and the
soil to produce enough vegetables,
large and small, coarse and fine,
for both Superior and Duluth. I'm
der existing conditions, a very
small percentage of the stuff pro-
duced there goes to Duluth and
Superior.
The Michigan street Food Hogs
are credited with being highly re-
sponsible for this state Of affairs.
Wrenshall producers have been
driven to other markets by the
unfair, greedy and even question
able business methods of the Mich
igan street Food Hogs.
There must be close to score
1 <of producers around Wrenshall.
1 Many others, during the past
twenty years, have tried the bust
ness of growing vegetables for
market but have dropped out. To-
