Six million feet of state timber was withdrawn by the state at the public sale held at the state capitol in St- Paul. Tthere were four tracts. located north of Bemidji, on the line of the Northern Pacific and International & Minnesota railroads, and it is alleged a scheme was unearthed which indi eated a corner on the timber. the freezing out of general bidders. The concerns supposed to be in on the corner were the Shevlin-Carpenter Lumber company, Backus & Brooks and Bonnes & Howe. These concerns have mills in the Bemidji district, are supposed to have special contracts hauling of their logs and the resultant products. national & Minnesota flushed the game when it issued a circular to lum- bermen and logging companies in the district covered by it announcing in emphatic language that they were not a common carrier of logs. As required by Jaw this circular or order was filed with the railway and warehouse commission, which, on its attention being called to the unusual position taken by the roads, promptly notified the Northern Pacific and In- ternationl & Minnesota that such would not be allowed to stand. Attorney General Young was called in and on his advice the roads were informed that they were common car riers in the fullest sense of the word and could not discriminate in any class of freight. The law required that they accept any kind and all kinds of freight from any and every individual or concern when it was of- fered them. i The state auditor received letters from a number of the sniall lumber men operating in the Northern wo! exposing the scheme. One man in his letter added that as a result of the cir- cular and the probable cornering of the tracts mentioned, logs had fallen $3 a thousand in price. Another said the cut was as much as $4. This cut was on offerings to the Shevlin-Car- penter mills, who»control the market in‘the Bemidji district.: Even with the decision of the rail- way commission that the position of the roads, that they were not common carriers as to logs and lumber was in conflict with the law, the small log: lin-Carpenter and others. There was no published tariff on logs and lumber, and if one was forced they knew it would not be in their favor. Special contracts are now known to be in ferce between four big lumbering con- cerns and the two roads, and a tariff would avail nothing. It was with all this in mind that the timber board held a special meeting and ordered the withdrawal of the tracts in controversy. In the Bemidji district the state has fully 100,000,000 feet of standing lum- ber. MANKATO WANTS BETTER RATES Is Charged Against Railroads. Mankato shippers want to be placed on an equality with the Twin City job- bers as regards commodity rates. They declared before the railroad and warehouse commission at St. Paul, at the hearing on commodity rates, that they are discriminated against in the matter of rates and that Mankato has now reached a point in its develop- ment where it must secure more fa- vorable rates or go back instead of forward. They maintain that the Twin Cities have been built up at the expense of Mankato and other smaller towns in the southern part of the state. One witness declared that Mankato has as many advantages commercially as the Twin Cities and should enjoy practi- cally the same rates as regards the great markets of the country. Duluth, they maintained, is the nat- ural port of Mankato, as well as»for the other Southern Minnesota towns which do a very large jobbing busi- It was claimed that under the present arrangement of rates it is im- possible for the smaller cities to enjoy the advantages of thé lake route which the Twin Cities enjoy. The roads which run through Mankato, the shippers, testified, do all in their power to divert the traffic to Chicago, and thus get the benefit of the long haul. All the roads which run through Mankato center in Chicago and natu- rally the traffic is diverted that way. What the Mankato shippers want is a lower rate between Mankato and St. Paul, so that Mankato shippers can reach the lake ports on a better rate than they now reach Chicago.

DAY BY ATTACKS HILL FIGURES. Loftus Sends a Circular Replying to the Willmar Speech. ° The Minnesota Shippers’ associa- tion has prepared a circular statement, 40,000 copies of which are being sent throughout the state, in reply to a satement J. J. Hill made at Willmar. Minn., Sept. 22, 1905. This statement was: “The state of Iowa to-day has an al- nual income from her farm lands of $8.20 per acre. In Minnesota it is $4.67. In the southern tier of counties it is a little under $6.” The reply was written by George s. Loftus, president of the Minnesota Shippers’ association, under the head- ing of “What’s the Matter With Min- nesota?” Mr. Loftus says that Mr. Hill ad- mits the soil of Minnesota and its cli- matic conditions are essentially equa! to those of Iowa, and hence his state- ment arraigns the Minnesota farmers as occupying a low plane compared to those of the sister state. They feel humiliated and outraged by so unjust |a charge and maintain that other rea- sons exist for the state of facts shown. One is that the net earnings per mile jof Minnesota roads averaged $4,900 jin 1903, while those of Iowa at the |same time were $1,730, according to | the railroad statements on file. Equal- jzing mileage, Minnesota paid in that jone year an excess of $24,112,058 in net earnings over those paid by Iowa. |'This burden fell principally on the products of Minnesota farm. The circular then takes up the as- sertion by Mr. Hill that he has been a prime factor in rate reductions. It shows that average receipts of rail- roads over the country in 1903 Were 74 cents a ton per .hundred miles. The average on the Great Northern was 86.6 cents, although 40 per cent of the tonnage, an excessive proportion, consisted of iron ore, coal, stone and sand and other commodities taking the lowest rates. reduction in graif rates announced by the Great Northern last year has brought hardly any relief to the farm- ers of Minnesota. over, to the action of the Soo line, as the circular maintains, that any re- duction was made. STUDENT ROLLS REACH 3,911. Registrar of University Issues State- ment Showing Attendance. | From the official figures given out | by Registrar E. B. Pierce, the enroll- | ment of students at the University ot | Minnesota for this year will slightly | exceed that of last year. The total registration at this time is 3,911, and j at least 200 more will be enrolled in | the course of the year. The registra- \tion for the year 1905-1906 was 3,941. i The academic department comes ! fifst, with the enrollment of 1,384; the ' school of agriculture, with an enroll- ment of 700, is second, and the engi meering and law colleges are close thirds. There is some surprise over the slight increase of the academic college of thirty-two students over fast year. On account of a_ higher standard of requirements the gradu- ate college shows a loss from 110 to 46. The colleges of engineering, agri- j culture, chemistry and mining show | the largest increase in size. It is ex- | pected that the enrollment of the law | department, which is now 429. will be | increased 75 or 100 with the opening | of the second term. ; Comparison between the registra- | ion of the present year to date and j the full registration of last year is | shown in the following table: Beginning Total. of 1906-7. 1905-6.
