Tt is not at all surprising under these circumstances that many good men are refusing to be drawn into the struggle; IN TODAYS news columns is _ found an announcement of the .discharge of Deputy Public Ex- aminer Gunders. Mr. Gunders was employed to dig up trouble in state auditor Dunn’s office but all his digging simply showed that the the office had been: ex- ceptionally well managed and Mr. Gunders had the temerity to publicly zdmit this fact. Where- fore Sammy Johnson has chop- ped his head off. JupGE CoLLINS says that J. J. Hillis agreat man,a blessing tothe state, et cetera. His supporters can now warm over all the nasty things they have said of Bob Dunn because of a similar state- ment. But don’t hold your breath while they do it. THE St. Louis exposition has been mortgaged. tHow much of the mortgage do you expect to 1lift? svwwwvwv BITS|NORTH B EROM | COUNTRY § The leap year ba,!l is getting ready for a big hop.

I M. received NEWS:N LOOKING UP AT KOOCHICHING Riparian Question Finally Settled and Railroads Assured. & 1. OFFICIALS GIVE SUB- STANTIAL ASSURANCE. Great Joy at the Itaseca County Town as a Result of Official Visit. The current issue of the Inter- national Falls Echo is at hand and contains the news of the final ad- justing of the riparian questions. The agreement between the Canadian and American capital interested in the development of the water power has been brought to a satisfactory conclu- sion and the papers were signed the first of the weck. The work of development will be com- menced within thirty days. + Mollowing closely on the settle- ment of the riparian rights ques- tion came the visit of the North- ern Pacific and M. & I. officials. They did not give out any direct information but the inference was drawn from their remarks that the M. & 1. will extend its lines through before next fall, The Echo quotes from the Duluth News-Tribune a story to the effect that camps are being es- tablished on the line of the su. - vey about four miles apart and that 100 teams will be used in hauling supplies during the sum- mer. The construction work it is said will be conducted by the company. Contractors have lost money on the work so far and do not care to undertake the work at the old figures so the company has decided to do the work itself. The business people at Koochi- ching are greatly elated over the prospect for the coming of the road and the settlement‘, of the water rights controversy. IN DEEP WATER Proprietor of Craig Hotel at Kelli- her Pays Fine for 11legal Sale of Liquor. The saloon men of Kelliher are in a family row at present which bids fair to give rise to grave complications. -Wm. Kelly, pro- prietor of the Craig hotel, yester- day paid a fine of $100 and costs for selling liquor without a li- cense on a charge preferred by another saloon man. Kelly had duly. made applica- tion for license and the village council granted his apphcatlon A temporary financial - strait made it impossible for him to pay the money into the village treas- ury as soon as it should have been ‘and a contemporary took advantage of the fact to prefer charges, Kelly’s place is closed at present and he threatens to bring counter actions against several other liquor dealers who have had a prominent connection with the whole affair and who it said sold liquor from July until rrom THE COUNTRY ORTH November without the customary license while the village was or- ganizing. North Country te Boom. The interest in the new towns on the north line of the M. & L which is being manifested throughout Lh('(ountry generally bespeaks a spring of pmspcuty and a real estate market that will by far be the most-active that this section has ever witnessed. A well known real estate man from one of the towns on the north line reports that during his éxperience in this section he has never been called upon to answer so many inquiries re- garding real estate as at present. Duunu the past two wecks he has answered over one hundred letters asking for information concerning the north country. Inquiries regarding cut over lands are especially numerous and several colonizations com- panys are investigating at length. Some of the finest farm ¢ ountr . is located on the north line and there is every prospect that it will not be long before every available foot is taken. He Thréw the Scare. A woodsman named Williams caused something of a sensation at Blackduc< yesterday by caus ing the arrest of the proprietor of one of the gaming houses there. The man went into the house and lost eighty-five cents in smalt bets at roulette and then de manded his money back. - The dealer was righteously indignant and refused to listen to him. Williams then swore out a war- rant and had the house arrested. A satisfactory settlement was reached. Clearwater Closes No. 5 Camp. The Clearwater Loorg'mcr Co. yesterday closed its No. 5 camp, making the third camp of the five it has maintained since early in the season to be closed during the past three weeks, Thirt,v- five head of horses were sent out this morning and time checks were issued to fifty men yester- day. The company has had a very favorable winter and is finishing much sooner than it had anmmp&ted Section Crew’s Narrow Escape. A section crew on the M. & 1. are reported to have had a very narrow escape last night. The men were on a hand car which was struck by the north bound passenger on a short curve near Guthrie. The occupants of the car were spilled across the coun- try and a requisition to the road- master for a new car will be necessary. None of the men sus- tained injury beyond a few slight bruises. Will Be Busy Until June. MecLean & Mackey now have in four tie camps in the vicinity of Tenstrike and very satisfac- tory progress is being made with thelarge contract they recently took. They expect that it will require until well along in June to finish and 150 men wili be given steady employment. The worl is being gotten out by the piece and finds favor with the woodsmen, Tie Inspectors Going Over Line. The Northern Pacific tie in- spectors are at present making their second trip over the line of the M. & I. and started-out of Northome yesterday morning.

C. Adams is down from Ten- strike. Chairman Sibley, of the board of county commissioners, is in the city. J. P. Wallace, of Crookston, is among this afternoon’s, arrivals at The Markham. W. H. Bohannan returned to- day from a short visit at Solway and Mallard Lake. Lang & Carter have removed their real estate office to new quarters in the Miles block. D. L. Hope, of Kimball, has ac- cepted a position as stenographer and bookkeeper at the First Na- tional bank. Miss Ella Parker, who has been visiting Mrs. R. Gilmour for some time, went to Solway this afternoon: C B. McCall, Itasca county’s health officer, is in the city today conferring with Dr. Blaskeslee regarding the Itasca county smallpox patients. J. C. Parker, the genial lum- berman, is down from Solway to- day to see Dr, Gilmore. He has been laid up for some time with an i1jured foot but is improving quite rapidly. Landlord Harris, of the Hotel Richards at Tenstrike, came down this morning to spend- the- wife and little daughter, who are at St. An- thony’s hospital. City Attorney Russell went to St. Paul this morning and will not return until Saturday night. L. G. Pendergast is credited with aspiring to “the office of vil- lage justice. Mr. Pendexguat has experience and itis gener- ally conceded that if the office go to a layman Mr. Pendergast would be an accept able official. H. W. Bailey will be a candidate to succeed himself as village re- corder. No opposition to Mr. Bailey has yet developed and his friends are making much of the fact that he has looked after the duties of the office well, has maintained stated .office hours and has always been easily avail- able. Alderman Graham, who is credited with being a candidate to succeed himself, is not out with ‘a declaration of candidacy. up to date. Mr. .Graham has been a valuable member of the old council and has a very great many friends who will urge him to make the race. From the general trend of sen- timent it is evident that the chief fight of the contest is for mayor. being discussed. Among those mentioned at present are Land- lord Maltby, of the City hotel, E. J. Willits, Wesley Wright, Matt Mayer, A. Gilmour, A, P. White, A. B. Hazen, Thomas Smart. Alderman Bowser this morn- ing stated that he was not a can- dldate under any circumstances for re-election. Mr. Bowser’s decision will be a disappointment to his many friends. He has been an exceptionally capable official and brought to his duties on the village council an ex- perience and business capability which made him an espécially valuable member. There are persistent rumors to the effect that the campaign will not be entirely free from personal features and develop- ments of a personal nature are promised in a short time that will lend ample diversitication of the sensational nature to the whole affair. While there is every prospect for a brisk tight which will not be all one sided the hope is generally expressed that neither side will stoop to tactics that are uncalled for quite unecessary and would not re- dound substantially to the credit of the community generally or those most directly interested. _Tower House Twisted.

Two large engines attached to a heavy train of logs were passing the tower w hen some of thelogs became dislodg- ed and rolled to the wlouud shattering the base of the tower and impairing the tract.
