UNIFORM BILL OF LADING ACT Provides Fine of $1,000 Should Agents or Carriers Violate Provisions. Agent Brown, of the Great Norther) is in receipt of a circular from the freight raffic department, calling attention to the provisions of the Minnesota Bills of Lading act, pas- sed at the 1909 session of the legis- lature, Which jigoes into effect to- morrow, April 1. The general purport of the law is as follows:, In connection fwith the name of the person to whose order the property is deliverable, the work “order of’ shall prominently appear in print on the bill, which shall be of yellow paper, 8% by 11 inches long It shall contain on its face the f lowing provision: The surrender of this original order bill of lading, pro- perly indorsed, shall be required be-| fore the delivery of the property. It shall not contain the words “not negotiable,’ or words of similar im- port. If such words are placed on the order bill of lading, they shall be void and of no effect. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohib- it the insertion in an order bill of} lading of other terms or conditions | not inconsistent with the provisions of this act; but shall be unlawful to insert in such bill and terms or con- ditions contrary to or inconsistent Sate in, such bill any term or It shall be unlawful for any carrier or for any officer, agent or servant of a carrier to issue an order bill of lading, as defined by this act, until the whole of the property as cribed therein shall have been actual- ly received ‘and is’ at’ the time under des- the actual control of such carrier, to |* be transported or to issue a second o duplicate order bill of ‘ading or straight bill of lading for the same property, in whole or in part, for which a former bill of lading has been issued and remains outstanding and uncancelled, without prominently marking across the face of the same the word ‘“‘duplicate.”’ Every carrier, officer, or agent or servant of carrier, who shall knowink ly violate any of the requirements shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and punished \by a fine of not more than $1,000, or imprisonment not more thai ‘one year or jboth.

WINS AFTER HARD FIGHT WITH STATE Compelled to Mortgage Property to Pay Costs of Contest Brought By State Auditor. The policy of (the state may be in accordance with the state law, but every fair-minded citizen of Minnesot | j taken; the local land office, after a condition | careful examination of the evidence limiting the liability of such carrier| sustained ithe claim of Porter. | state appealed from The the decision of | the local land office sustained the | order of the local office. In further lance of the insatiate greed of the ‘land commissioner of the state the case was a (gain appealed to the Sec- retary and he affirmed the local of ficd . The last decision settled the rights of the (parties but when we examine the condition of the litigants “when the war was over” we find that the great state of Minnesota has millions of dollars at her command and ‘the settler, Porter, has exausted all his resources and mortgaged and sold everything he had to make the fight ‘When he went upon the land he had a team of horses, three cows iand ail the small live stock he needed to make life worth living; at the end of the contest he had nothing and in volved in debts. A persual of the record in this case brings to view all the atrocities and hardships incident to begining life in the wilderness and show, too plainly to be mistaken, the animus of the commissioner in pursuing the case until the settler was impoverished. And still people wonder why northern Minnesota has not been settled. If our governor could view the remains of this settl- er ha would be a monster in hu- man form if he did not exclaim “in- famous,” Porter has won the fight and he may now go home to his wife and flock of children and be gin anew, trusting to his brawn and muscles and a kind Providence to find bread for the little ones.

Porter, as told by the Cass Lake Times, is only one of many such cases where the poor set- tler has either been compelled to abandon his claim to what rightfully belonged to him or fight for his right against “his highness’ ‘backed by millions of state money: “July 12th, 1907, Frank J. filed application for homestead on a tract of land in section 1» tlown- ship 153, N. of Range 25, W. The entry was not allowed because it con- flicted with the claim of the state the state claiming it as swamp land. Mr. Porter was not willing to be dri- ven from his home to enrich the state and on October the 11th, 1907, filed contest against the claim of the state Hearing was had and evidence Porter | ‘ and Highways. Governor Eberheart by a procla- mation, thas set aside ‘April 29 as Ar bor and Bird day, and on that day and the highways of the state will be undertaken by the people. Alt schools and state institutions will be closed and general observation of the day urged. Governor Eberhart calls attention to the devastation of the forests of the state as a sacrifice development of industrial and agri- cultural pursuits and urges co-oper- ation of the people in reforestration, saying that it is the timber lands that furnish the raw material for the maintainance of many of the largest industries of Minnesota, in addition to adding charm and beauty to the landscape.’
