Mrs. Rinc ‘The Dressmakar. Action Against Great Northern. Copies of the annnal reports of the Great Northern railway, the Will- mar & Sioux Falls railway aud the Eastern railway of Minnesota, filed with the state railroad anb ware- house commission according to a state law, were forwarded to the at- loruey general vesterday with the re- quest of the commissioners that he bring an action to compel the three companies to furnish reports, which they they omitted, showing opera- tions in Minnesota for the tiscal year, upon a mileage basis, F The Great Northern for several years has not’ furnished this inform- ation, inserting in the reports the statement: “This company has abaudoned as impracticable and misleading the plua of making. divisions on inter- state earnings between the states through which the system runs, and’ can not therefore give figures pur- porting to show earnings in Minne- sota from such traffic.” Tables were given showing business purely local to the state. Before actiati, the commission for- warded a request for the information desired to Cuntroller Farrington, connected with all three lines. The request was referred to General Solicitor M. D. Grover of the Great Northern, who, in replying, stated that the division insisted upon by the commission and required by the state laws is unjust; that local and interstate business must be consider- ed as entreaties. The commission referred the correspondence to the attorney general. It is asserted by the eommissioners that the refusal of the lines to fur- nish figures on Minnesota’s propor- tion of interstate traflic reduces the apparent earnings for the last flscal year from a figure in excess of $10,- 000,000 to $4,847,382.

At the meeting of the British Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science at Bradford, England, Sir William Preece, ex-president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, announced that he had successfully transmitted speech eight miles across sea without the ald of wires and that the establishment of such a system for commercial com- munication was practicable between ships and land, Sir William Henry Preece made several experiments last year with an induction system of wire- less telephoning, signaling across the | years. ; near tide water as possible, and the A New Law. Congressman Morris, of Duluth, has introduced a bill for the amend- ment of the Nelson law, which he thinks will correct the abuses which have crept into the Indifin timber cutting in Minnesota during recent Morr bill isa direct result of a conference held at the if session of congress between the Min- nesoto delegation and the secretary of the interior, At this conference the yuestion was gone over carefully and some general conclusions reached. These conciusions Judge Morris seeks to present in his bill. He would amend the Nelson law by requiring that Indian timber be dis- posed of on bank Je, instead of sell- ing it in 40-acre lots. He would have it disposed of in larger quantities in the discretion of the secretary of the interior, the object being to yet the largest sum possible for the Iddian fund. This plan would also prevent purchasers from selecting the best for ties and leaving the others. In other words, the secretary of the interior should be able to dispose of good and bad forites together. After the pine has been removed the Morris bill pro- vides that the land be held in the same way that agricultural land is held—subject to homestead laws. Said Judge Morris in discussing his bill: “T am sure that the Nelson law, had it been well administered. as Senator Nelson intended it should be, would have prevented many of the evils that have crept into the Indian timber business since it has been in force. Under Secretary Hoke Smith especially, the law was improperly administered and the foundation laid for the evils that exist today. No- body regrets this more than Senator Nelson, for his law would have sery- edan important purpose in the hands of competent officials. Whether my bill will finally become a law as I have introduced it, I do not know. There may be change. I am satis- fied, however, that its main features will be inzorporated into some law which congress will probably pass at this session.”—Duluth Evening Herald. A Big Cut. An army of men will be required to get out the large amount of tim- ber that is to be cut this winter in the northern part of this state, says the Mississippi Valley Lumberman. In the vicinity of Bemidji it is re- ported that five or six thousand men will be employed, and that the out- put of the camps within a radius of tifteen miles of that place will be between three and four hundred million feet. Just how large the output will be depends largely on the men themselves and how they are disposed to hold up the loggers. If the labor market is too high the operators will get out a smaller number ot logs. Between the high price of labor and the cost of all camp supplies and tools for logging. and operators will have to figure close to make any profits on their winter’s work....Geo. 8. Canfield, a veteran newspaper man of Minne- apolis, has returned from the Nome district in Alaska, where he has been during tre past six months ex- tracting go.d from the earth. He reports great success, Mr. Canfield says that other Minneapolis people, notably EK. W. Backus of the Backus- Brooks Lumber Co., have met with good fortune. Mr. Backus, he says, has cleaned up $100.000 during his stay in Alaska. ‘ C. A. Smith Buys Sugar Pine. C. A. Smith of this city has re- cently purchased through Fred A. Krib, agent for John Batcher, Jr., of California, 30,000 acres of sugar pine in Eldorado county 1m that state, for a pr in the neighber- hood of half a million dollars. This timber is located on what is known as the Georgetown Divide and is said to be the best sugar pine in the country. ‘Vhis makes Mr. Smith one of the largest single holders of timber in the world and is only an addition to the large amount of stumpag he had previously acquired in the far west. His other purchases have been meutioned in the Eumber- man, and consist of a large amount of redwood in Califoonia and large tracts of fir timber in Oregon, prin- cipally in the Port Oxford distric In all his selections of timber he has bought with a view to being as sugar pine in the above purchase can be brought to tide water at Sacramento by the building of a short tine of railway. The develop- ment of his western holdings will not take place at once, as his large operations in this part of the north- west demand his attention now and will for a number of years. When he does begin the manufacture of lumber on the west coast he will at once take his place among the lead- ing mapufacturers of, that section. —Lumberman. Herald-Review IN OLD BILCAO, Most Ente-prising Spaniards Except the Catalan: K Among other places along the Span- tsh coast the queen regent of Spain visited recently on board the royai yacht was Bilbao. ‘nis very import- of the four sister provinces, It is beautifully situated along the banks of | the river Nervion and surrounded by | high and partly wooded hil's. The old ; town is very uniriteresting, with its ugly houses, many stories high, ana badly paved streets. There are ene or two fine churches, and the quaint, much-venerated shrine of Begonya, perched high up on one of the hills. The Bilbamous would never forgive Maria Christina if she did not take her youthful son to hear mass in that miraculous “basilica.” The new suburb of Bilbao—Ensanche—is very modern and can vie with any other European capital, with its fine buildings and well laid out parks. The principal drive is by the water- side, along which coquettish villas ex- tend. Where the river flows into the sea are two small suburbs called Por- tugalete and Las Arenas—seaside re- sorts,with a fine hotels and bathhouses. A splendid iron bridge, invented by a Spanish engineer, connects the two banks; so high is it that vessels pass underneath. Vessels of 3,000 tons can go fa> up the river to the wharves where they take in their loads of the nera, Goldames, Friana and Castro. Last year alone 5,000 vessels, mostly English, entered the port, carrying away 6,000,000 tons of iron ore. Many of the mines are worked by English companies, and in some aspects Bil- bao reminds one of an English sea- port. There is a very large Britisa colony in Bilbao, the consul holding one of the most important posts in! Spain. A quiet, restful looking ceme- tery nestles on the bank of the river and the great vessels, as they pass, al- ways dip their flags in token of respect | to this tiny corner of British terri- tory. The English sailors’ home has been‘a great boon, as yearly it helps to keep 60,000 sailors out of mischief. The Bilbamous, as the people of Bilbao style themselves, are, next to the Gata- lans, the most enterprising of Span- iards. Since the war with the United States they have bought seventy for- eign steamers of more than 2,000 tons each and have registered them in Spain, in order to undertake the carry- ing of their own ores to foreign coun- | tries. The same enterprising spirit ts shown in their foundries, their manufactures of every kind and in the network of broad and narrow guage Trailways all aroud Bilbao. Unfortunately there is an equal ac- tivity displayed by the extreme so- cialists in the rura] districts of Bis- cay and in the industrial and mining country, almost to the very suburbs cf Bilbao.
