‘ ee a AN ITASCA HOMESTEADER. Former Minneapolis Newspaper Man Now An Itasea County Farmer. Edwin M Connor, a former politi- cal writer on the Minneapolis Times, is now a homesteader near Northome. In an iterview with a News Tribune reporter the other day Mr. Counor said: “The last time I visited my claim,” was in December, I spent last Christ- mas and New Year's in the woods, and I walked from Blackduck, then. the terminus, to the ‘farm,’ a dis-j tance of 30 miles. I cut it, this time with the railroad and found that Hovey Junction and Dexter and spur runs down from Hovey Junction to Kelliher on Bullhead lake, There are located seven Minneapolis street car conductors and motoimen, They have a mill there and will saw the umber from their own claims and do some commercial sawing when Treeze-up comes. “Northern Minhesota has a Minue- apolis colony, wade of families that. have settled there for keeps. They have faith in the region and are fully appreciative of the value of their homesteads. They expect to get a sale for their timber, while the mills keep on multiplying. They will use their cleared ciaims for stock, “By the way, stock up there looks like the corp-fed_ kind. The grasses up that way are jucy and the mead- ows—keep deep in vendure. The sev- tlers are a little despondent over the rumor that the railroads wont follow the line further than Northome. for a year. “The Itasca Lumber company’s railroad bas nearly reached Watla’s from Deer River, and if it follows the present survey will run within a} mile or two of my claim, possibly fol-} lowing Caldwell brook. Everyone up north believes this road will reach international Falls first, and thus the | settlers about the Little Fork coun- try feel that they will soon have a market for their timber. “There is also talk of the Backus- Brooks Lumber company running in a seven-mile spur from Northome to} Island Lake, to tap some tine pine, spruce and tamarac they own there, and other quantities they can buy from the homesteaders about. there. | use of auitUSER = 6Use att Negtunt Pv } ANON INTOX! : Spanxune.

Prepared by the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ass’n many a good husbandman has been Jost to this fine country up north through the malicious contesting business now practiced by a few un- scrupulous lawyers and indolent fel- lows, who own claims there but, who putin most of their time following this nefarious practice, Iwas told that the congestion of business in the jand office was due in part to their work as much as to the rush for land. “Tn the past three years more land has been taken up in Minnesota under the homestead and timber and stone acts than in the fifteen years previ- ous, but the man who has waited to this late day must either contest or pay the fancy prices asked for re- linquishments from these lawyers and their confederates. “The opening of the reservation land today has brought a lot of peo- ple to Cass Lake and Crookston to tileon this land. When in Cass Lake ten days ago, I met a number of the “fraternity” wholive by their wits. “‘People seem to be land-mad these days and through this madness to get apiece of Jand are allowing them- selves in many instances to be locat- ed in swamps while the cunning lo- cater shows them another piece. “If 1 were to make a guess, I should pick the future metropolis of Itasca county to be International Falls.

Finne- gan. ‘bey always haveon hand Lhe very best — at lowest prices. scionable must be the average little Republican newspaper rat ‘hereabouts, judging from the way they eagerly grasp every opportunity to print some dirty lie concerning Charles a Towne, They are unable to understand that Towne is the peer of any statesman in the world today; unable to under- stand that he rises so royally superior to all their idols—the Roosevelts and the Hannas—that no comparison can be made between his gh ideals and their sordid politics. But Towne will live: in the political ‘history of the United States long after the Roose- velts and Hannas have passed from the memory of men, and when these litle newspaper slanderers will occupy’ a place in natural history as crog- lodites of a past age. WORTHY RECOGNITION. The following from the Duluth News Tribune is refreshing to read, ‘coming as it does from a Republican source Some of the dirty little maligners of Towne should read it over carefully: “It is practically settled that Charles A. Towne, for- merly of Duluth, is to succeed George B. McClellan in congress when the latter resignes his seat at the first of the year to enter the mayoralty of New York city. ‘He goes of course, as a Tammany candidate and the dis- trict which he will represent is as- suredly Democratic. It is said that he is the choice of Mr. Murphy, leader of Tammany, as against both W. BourkeCockran and William McAdvo, assistant secretary of thenavy under President Cleveland. Itis understood that Mr. Towne has consented to ac- cept, notwithstanding the fact that he has served as an ad-interim United States senator and service in the house might in somé respect be con- sidered a backward step. It appears also as understood, however, that, in case the future opens the pathway to higher political honors, they shall be his. The reasons given for the selec- tion of Mr. Towne are most credit- able to him and are found inthe recognition of Mr. Towne’s transcend-| ent abilities and his we'l known up-! rightness of character and the ex- pressed desire of the ‘Tammany leader to elevate the standard of Tammany representation in congress. Mr. Towne’s freinds and admirers in Duluth, and they are legion, will be highly pleased to learn of his active reentry into political life and the recognition of his new home, of his. sterling personal worth and merit. ‘The News Tribune has in the past found itself on opposite political sides from Mr. Towne and has been com- pelled to take substantial issue with the political principles that he repre- | sented as recognized champion and | leader of the free silver cause; but it has always had a warm appreciation of the amiable personal side of his character and of his unquestioned ability, and it joins hands with his other friends in Duluth and northern Minnesota, regardless of party, in extending to him hearty congratula- tions on the recognition that his new eastern party associates are holding out to him and the best. well wishes} for the Republican gubernatorial nom nation. ‘The anti-Dunn element does not propose to let the man from Princéton have a walk-away im the convention. | Van Sant will not be ¢ candidate, no matter what his inten- tions may be at present, but he will throw his forces for Collins. If the opposing forces would unite on some good man like Senator Herbert J. Miller of Luverne, for instancé, even the Democrats would not be greatly displeased. But they’ll never do that, don’tar fe, i ESR ER JONES TOO ROTTEN. Ray Jones, lieutenant-governor of the state of Minnesota isso rank a corruptiopist that even Republican papers are going back on him. ‘The following editorial from the Wadena Pioneer Journal expresses the case of Jones very mildly: ‘“Isn’t it about time for the Republican newspapers of the state, the country papers, we mean, to juin hands and advocate the nomination of some good man other than Ray Jones, of Minneapulis, for lieutenant governor? The Pioneer Journal entertains no personal ill will toward Mr. Jones, neither is it sup- posed to ignore the claims of Minne- apolis if it should desire this office. Itsimvly thinks that in view of all the circumstances, Mr. Jones should be invited to take a back seat for awhile. Ray Jones isa member of a lumber firm which has been accused of conniving with aa Indian agent and stealing $115,000 worth of pine timber from off the White Earth In- dian reservation. Papers have been filed in asuitin which startling charg- es have been made, and every newspa- per and eyery iman who keeps posted upon public matters is familiar with the facts in the case.” BE Sates B> Se teat Tue Lydick’s have finally won their allotment fight against Senator Knute Nelson and it 1s to be hoped that the spiteful senator will be unable to ftnd another excuse for the opening of the cese. Nelson has avowed that the Lydick’s would never get title to the land sought so long as he held a seat in the senate. It appears that the department at Washington has been “put wise” to Knute’s reasons for op- posing the allotment of Mrs. Lydick and~-her children and hg has been summarily turned down, Nelson is not making himself popular in North- ern Minnesota by resorting to such tactics as have characterized his ac- tions in this case.

Br elVSlslereles Try It Lecal Offices May Now Adjust Such Contro- verses, Without Reference to.Washington. A decision of the United States de- partment of the Interior, made pub- lic yesterday, will permit the Duluth land office to. settle swamp land con- tests hereafter without refering them to Washington. The decision is the outcome of the case of Fred Mefrill against the state of Minnesota. Mer- rill attempted to claim certain lands in section 36-46-16 by filing on them | in the Duluth office last September, but the state also claimed them as swamp lands. Merril contested this, but Receiver Smith and Register Culkin refused to allow the con- test. under instructions issued last July from Washington which foi- bade them to take cognizance of any swamp land contests on the ground that ife the ygovern- ment ‘decided that any tract was swamp, its judgment in the matter was indisputable. Merrill then ap pealed tu the department of the in- terior, producing the notes of the government survey as evidence that the lands in question were not swamp lands, and the government being in error as to their nature the state had no control over them, The result was that the department reversed the decision of the local office and allowed Merrill’s claim, and a letter received directed the land office here- after to pass upon any swamp lan® coptest in which the litigant sought to show that the ‘tract under dispute has been wrongly adjudged as swamp. Explaining the reversal of its pre- vious instructions the letter says in part: ‘Ihe purpose of the said in- structions was that such cases might be brought before this effice on their ierits as speedily as possible in the event of appeals. In the light of the case at the bar, it would appear proper and in keeping with the pur- pose of the departmental order to modify instructions contained in the letter of July 23,s0 as to allow the Office to try any contests where the contestant avers that the field notes and platof survey do not show the tract to be of the character contem- plated.” A Very Close Shave. John Chesser, the locater and ex- plorer, came within an ace of being the victim of a deer hunter's rifle ball and a hole in his hat bears witness to the fact that he cumenear heing “it,” Jolin was over near Nashwauk last Saturday looking up sume land when he felt his hat shift to one side with- out any Visible cause. This was ful- lowed by a rifle report, which imme- diately put him to wondering wheth- e: or not he had been transformed into a deer. He soon found his tongue and leta yell out of him that would put a Comanche Indian in the clear. Two men from Grand Rapids soon appeared on the seen and after lengthy explanations and levgthier apologies and hand-shaking every-, thing was again peaceful. It was the same old story. Mr. Chesser was taken for a deer.—The Virginian. The Big and Little Thieves. Here is something that makesa close rival fur the Ann-Mary prob- lem: C. L. Clark, former accountant of the viilage of Hidbing, misappro- priatved possibly $1,0000f village funds and was handed a sentence of four years and six mouths, W. C. Ells worth, former postmaster at Eveleth, got away with something like $10,000, and his prize was fifteen months. Young Johnson, former employe of the Commercial bank at Wuluth, squandered close to $50,000 of the bank's money, and was sent tothe reform schvol for a period of one year. All this out of the same court. Evidently Clark’s crime was that he did not make a showing.—Mesaba Ore, Hibbing. TO WAGE FIGHT 25 YEARS. W. J.
