A. B. Clair was re-nominated for the office of register of deeds by a vote of 62 to 13. The name of W. BE. Martin was presented to the cunven- tion and he received a complimentary yote of thirteen delegates. Mr. Clair’s popularity among all cjasses of people, and the complete satisfac- tion which he bas given as a public servant makes sure his re-election by a larger majority than has heretofore been given to any candidate in this county. J. R. Donohue and Frank F. Price were placed in nomination for the office of county attorney. Mr. Dono- hue was re-endorsed for another term by a handsome majority and he will be equally successful at the polls. George Vient was endorsed for the important office of judge of probate, by a vote of 45 to 30, against T. M. Brady, the present incumbent. Mr. Vient will make a strong cam- paign, and his large acquaintance and popularity will make him the opposed to such repeal, but believe in amending itsoas to make it more effective. z 5. We are strong advoeates of arbi- tration in all disputes between the employer and the employe and believe that a compulsory arbitration law should be enacted in this state. We have made ourselves familiar witb the compulsory arbitration law of New Zealand and are well informed as to the arbitration laws of every state in the union. We pledge ourselves to endeavor to secure the passage of a bill in this state that will make arbitration in labor differences more effective. 6. Weare in favor of all fair and conservative legislation tending to better the interests of the people of this state and more particularly the people of this. district and we will stand ready not only to vote, but to work unceasingly for all legislation required for the material and indust- rial development of this district. 7. We believe in amending the drainage laws of this state so’ that the state may be enabled by laws duly epacted to provide the funds necessary to pay for the drainage of swamp lands in all of Northern Min- nesota, believing that the state and , sanction of county officers through- out the state. Even State Auditor Dunn, who had hitherto been unde- cided, at once agreed with Mr. Far- reil, and his dectsion was the means of bringing into the treasury of this county more than ove hundred thous- and dollars. It was therefore not surprising that the convention re- ceived lis name with an enthusiastic indorsement for renomination that precluded the possibility of any op- position. Back of Auditor Farrell during the past two years has been County Attorney Donohue and Treas- urer C. C. Miller whose services the voters recognize with no- less satis- faction than those of the efficient auditor. For these reasons it was indeed a most bormonious gathering that met at the court house on Tues- day last. C. A. Buell, of La Prairie, was cho- sen chairman and A. D. Brooks, of Deer River was made secretary of the convention. Chairman Buell ap- pointed committees on resolutions, credentials and order of business. The committee on resolutions made W J & H D POWERS the following report which was unanimously adopted: THE RESOLUTIONS. Killing Time, si—time to kill sorts of legiti- y, old fashion- © in and what a good ammunition and sporting THE LIE DIRECT B. F. Nelson President of the State Prison, o State Auditor of Falsifying. Accuses th Benjamin F. Nelson, president of the board of manugers of the state prison, bas anxwered the statement of State Auditor Dunn, whosaid that the affairs of the institution had been conducted in an unbusinesslike maoner, and that the end of the year woutd show a loss cf $40,000. Mr Nelson declares that the charge is absolutely untrue. He also declares that the figures quoted by Mr. Dunn were iucorrect and misleading, and known -by Mr. Dunn to be so. Instead of showing a loss at the end of the year the report of the year’s business, Mr. Nelsun says, will show a profit of about one-fifth ofa cent a pound on twine, or of about $13,000. The price of binding twine was tixed at10cents a pound, or as near the actual cost of production as could be estimated at the beginning of the year, and although there has been a shortage of sisal, the plant has only been shut down for a very short time, and is the only plantin the country that has not operated at a loss.

Arrangements have been made with the Brainerd & Northern and Northern Pacific roads to bring down the 8,000.000 feet of logs by rail, dump- ing them direct into the m#ll pond of the company at Minneapolis. Wed- nesday the mill was shut down tem- porarily on account of lack of logs, and this idleness was taken advant- age of to make some needed improve- ments about the yard in the way of side tracks and certain other neces- sary changes to facilitate the delivery of this new supply of logs.

If this new enterprise proves in any way as successful as the promoters anticipate, this method of handling logs is apt to become quite geneal in the near future. i 1894 the Shevlin-Carpenter Co. secur- ed some logs in this same manner, but it was froma point near by.
