A Washinton special to the Duluth Herald says: Representative Towne’s resolution calling for the report jof the recent investigation of the Chippewa pine. land estimates. will robably bring forth some very inter- sting reading. ‘This report has been | coming out in small lots, and enough has been learned about it to show that all the pine lands have been un- jderestimated. It is said that in some jcases . purchasers received $10 | worth of timber for $1 invested. Aside irom the support rendered by Senator Nelson in Ins fight on the pine land matter and Secretary ‘Fran- cis, desire to see justice done, Maj. Baldwin has stood alone.. The Bald- 1 and some) | hopes were entertained that the little} win plan for an estimate of the timber lon the Leech Lake feservation has been opposed by lumbermen: and others on the ground that the work jis impracticable in winter and that the survey Maj. Baldwin, however,? claims that) winter is not the most undesirable time for estimating tmber, and as to sur-| veyors, that his allotting agents ‘and surveyors have been in that field du- ring the past two years‘and-bhave had) no complaint to’ make. The new estimator corps, according to.Maj. Baldwin, has been .séclected witha view to competency and honor. The question of politics did not - enter into their selection. The new forces took the field yesterday, and Maj. Baldwin claims he will accomplish; more 1n one month than the old corps did in a year, and so well and_thor- oughly that the work will stand~ any fair test that may be applied. Mr Gunn at Home. Hon. D. M. Gunn returned from St. Paul-on Thursday evening and will:remain home uatil Monday mor- ning. Mr. Gunn reports that legis- lative ‘business is progressing very satisfactorily, but that many people who have pet measures are apt to be disappointed. Bills have been intro- duced without end by request and otherwise that stand no earthly show of becoming laws. The bills intro- duced by Mr. Gunn asking for ap- propriations of $5000 each for the counties of Itasca, Aitkin and Carlton for road purposes will stand a poor show to get through, owing to the large number of sim‘lar measures which have appeared from all over the state. There now remaines only a httle over forty thousand dollars in the fund trom which these appropri- ations could be paid, and the’ conse- quence 1s that they may all be killed in committee. However, Mr. Gunn will use his best endeavors to ‘secure the appropriations asked for his ~ dis- trict. THEIR LIGHT UNDER A BUSHEL. | The State Legislature Transacts Business Without Public Aid. A number of persons have tried to secure copies of bills intro- duced into the iegislature and have found that they are not being printed unul they are reported back by the committees. For this reason it has! been difficult to learn what they are. The only way it can be done is to go to St. Paul, see the committee and get at the written copy.

The Magnet Promised to Make Things Lively and Now Cries Quits. - Last week our First street friend came out with a flourish of trumpets accompanied with discordant lan- guiage‘and promised to play in our back .yard all winter, and cavort with us on: ‘the green all summer. Now it appears with the pouts and says it won’t play at ali and threatens to have the Herald-Review editor ar- rested for cruelty to animals, just be- cause we play too rough. In fact, it has already commenced _ proceedings jin the name of the “senior,” and this morning, just as we had dipped our pen in aqua fortis preparatory to making another deep incision through the rhinoceros hide of the Moose, Deputy Sheriff J. E. Johnson dropped into the Herald-Review sanctum with a broad grin all over his face and a warrant in his pocket. ‘The -Herald- Review man is still at large and roams about unbranded. Under a flash head on the first page of our contemporary, wherein the Herald- Review editor’s name appears proudly parted in the middle, is the tollowing startling announcement : There were but two courses for the senior editor of the Magnet to pursue toward the libelous editor ot the Herald-Review. Kither take a club and chastise him ina deserving manner ur have him arrested for criminal libel. We prefer the latter. ne public will vear us out in the state- ment that we have stood his villitication and abuse with patience almost amounting to humility. “Pavience has ceased to bea virtue”and we demand that he now prove in acourt of justice, his reiterated charges. He will have abundant opportunity to do so. split. Bart was started with the un- ‘| fortunate man at 7 o’clock last even- ing and arrived in town at 1:30 this morning, a distance of forty-five miles.

County Auditor King has been in St. Paul during the past two weeks,. and he has taken a yery active inter- est in some proposed legislation which is calculated to improve the present state laws relative to the duties of county auditors. It is a fact generally recognized by those best qualified to known that the tax laws of Minnesotaare most deplorably tangled up, as aifeBult of the legis- lative biennial © patch-work that has been drawn out for’many years—evet. since, in fact, Minnesota became &° state. ‘lax titles are absolutél¥ worthless, and different systems’ proceedure, relating to tax sales ‘ant collections, are followed according t the individual opinions of the audi tors. Radical improvements shonuld, be inaugurated and it is to -bé ‘ho that the efiorts of the county ‘a tors will result in bringiny t ele lature to a realization’ of what. js needed.
