Gunn of Grand Rapids does not figure much in the speech making at St. Paul, but he 1s oneot the most influential law- makers at the capitol. He knows everybody worth knowing and never goes back on his friends; and hence is a tower of strength toany measure to which he gives his support. He is given credit for engineering the Cass Lake endeavors for the sixth normal school, and to his skillful manage- ment is due the passage of the bill in the senate locating the school at Cass Lake. We understand, however, that Senator ‘suns has expressed a doubt of there being any reapportion- ment bill. Theconstitution provides that all the people of the state shall have an equal representation in the legislature, but it isa notorious fact that about fifty per cent of the people of Northern Minnesota are disfranchised, asfar as representa- tion in the legislature is concerned. The people of this district expect that our senator and representatives will work just as hard for reaportion- ment as they did for the Cass Lake school, and if they do, there be something doing. We need normal will reapportionment far more badly than ase Lake needs a normal school.— Aitken Republican, ae age ees UNLAWFUL AND UNJUST The people in the southern part of the state have been clamoring fora tonnage tax for years, because inp this way they could be relieved of paying any state tax, besides taking aslap atthe steel trusts, the men- tion of whose name in their pre- sence islike flaunting a red flagin tbe face of an enraged bull, says the Aitkin Republican. In their opinion it is nothing that the steel trust has made if possible for them to find the best market in the country every year for thousands of carloads of their farm produce; that it pays the highest wages to its employes, houses them in decent, respectable quarters, and bas never quibbled about paying taxes heretofore imposed by the state: that it has already spent ten million dollars at Coleraine alone in development work without shipping a carload of ore; and that it holds the good will of men who are connect- ed with it or who have ever had oc- casion to do business with it. But it: is a big corporation, and according to the southern Minnesota idea ought to be ficeeced. The house of repre- dominated by southern Minnesota, last week passed the ton- nage tax bill, andit is only fair to assume that the same brand of legis- lators now sitin St. Paul as those who forty years ago robbed Northern Minnesota by giving millions of acres of its swamp land grant to the rail- roads and putting other millions into the state school fund. peaaitnare PT BELTRAMI’S PRIZE WINNER. The Mesaba Ore of Hibbing takes notice that a representative from Beltrami county used his offical position as a conveyance for hisspite. He was disappointed in the outcome of one of his pet measures, and to get even he voted fora tonnage tax on iron ore—voted against the best sentatives, interests of that section of the state] @@Q@SSSCSSCSCOSOCS he was sent to the legislature to re- present. ‘here’s some great minds amongst the state’s law-makers, but this one is the prize winner, : ooo THE ESSENCE OF IT ALL. The Ishpeming, Mich. [ron Ore, tells the whole story of tonnage tax in the following terse editorial com- ment. It should be read by every member of the Minnesota legislature; read carefully and thoughtfully: “The Minnesota house has voted a tonnage tax on iron ore. -It’s a fool business. We used to have one in Michigan, but it was so eminently unfair that we long ago discarded it. There’s good opinions, too, that it isn’t constitutional, and a test by the Minnesota interests might be well worth making. Minnesota is after the goose that bas filled nests full of golden eggs with a vengeance. Itis trying to make the mines pay all the cost of running the state, claiming the ores are being fast ex- hausted and that the people should receive as much benefit as possible} gggeq from them. Rot! The mines will be there long after the grandchildren of the fool lawmakers have passed tu the great beyond. Minnesota, by this argument, is belittling itself. She’s a heap better from the natural resources pointof view than her law- makers advertise. “The action of the legislature will not be a very keen incentive for building big steel works within her borders. Fool legislators have done alot to retard the business of our country during the past few years, and they haven’t apparently learned the evils of such proceedings as yet.” A MEMBER of congress from Georgia, named Edwards, has introduced a bill to reduce the salary of congressman from $7,500 to $5,000 per year. That chap's a freak. Five thousand per may be all or more than he is worth, ‘ but his acknowledgement of the fact is evidence that he should be called home for examination by an insanity commisssion. The Herald-Review will wager the price of a year’s sub- scription that the Edwards bill will not pass. THE ELEVENTH judicial district, Governor Johnson and Martin Mughes are in line for congratulation on the appointment of the last named gentleman to a place on the St. Louis county district bench by the governor. The bill creating anc additional dis- trict judge in the Eleventh district, has become a law. Martin Hughes is eminently equipped in every way for the high office he is to fill. t CEO.

WEEK’S DOINGS IN ‘DISTRICT COURT Grand Jury Still Investigating and Judge Wright’s Court Try- ing Cases. s How: many indictments the grand jury may have found in their investi- gations thus far cannot be learned at this writing as that important body has not yet concladed its labors. The cases returned and made public are eight in number, as follows: Joe Delich, Calumet. two indictments for blind-piggery; Duncan Campbell, grand larceny in the second degree, Norman MeMasters, Keewatin, grand jJarceny in the second degree: Edward Johnson, Swan River, grand Jarceny in the second degree; Mike Dimich Calumet, assault in the second de- gree: Wm. R. Brown, Deer River, as- sault in the second degree; Emil Danielson and Wm. R. Brown, Deer River,Jmurder in the third degree. The first case called was that of J. Emerson Greenfield et. al. vs. J. A. Clark, This was an action for dam- ages in the sum of $30,000 in which FE. L. Buck of Cohasset was the prin- cipal defendant. Judge M. A. Spoon- erof Bemidji, and Thwing & Ross- man of Grand Rapids, were the attorneys for the defendants in the case. C. L. Pratt appeared for the plaintiffs. It was alleged that fraud had been practiced in the execution of ,deeds to certain lands. After the case had been commenced it was dismissed by the plaintiffs and the following stipulation signed by the attorney for eMr. Greenfield: “From our investigation of the evidence on our part and also what {has been disclosed to me by the opposite party Iam satistied in my own mind that whatever errors oc- curred ip these titles were the result of mistake on the partof Mr. E. L. Buck and that he bad no intention at any time of defrauding any one out of their property.” In the case of the Backus-Brook company against the Rat Portage Lumber company and Stitt and How, in which the defendants were sued for the recovery of $2000 alleged timber trespass. the jury broughtio a verdict for $335.78. The case of John Hepfel against the village of Grand Rapids, in which the plantiff asks for damages against the village, is now up for trial before a jury.

One of the notable social events that, the dance lovers of Grand Rapids and vicinity have Jearned to look forward toeach yearis the annual ball given by the Fraternal Order of Eagles. This is one of the strongest fraternal societies in the village and it has proved to be one of the most wortby in its charitable care of mem- bers andin its many acts of true brotherly love in time of need and sorrow. The Eagles here have light- ened the burden of many a helpless brother and have cared for the orphans, and widows of deceased members. That the order is popular goes without saying. Their annual balls have heretofore been pro- nounced social successes and the one now announced will prove no excep- tion to the rule. The ladies of the Catholic society will serve the supper and the Grand Rapids orchestra will furnish music. GRAND RAPIDS BUSINESS AND + PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY F. P. SHELDON. P. J, SHELDON, President.
