RADICAL CHANGE IN LAND LAWS Lands Selected Before March 14, 1910, Subject to Contest By Actual Settler. Another and probably the fina ehapter in the ilong-drawn-out swamp jand litigation between the settlers and the state of Minnesota is about to be written. Notice has been re- cetved at the Cass Lake United States land effice from the commis sioner of the general land office that fands selected by the state of Min- nesota under the swamp land aci after the examination in the field made during the summer of 1910, are subject to contest by actual settlers who had established residence 01 such tands prior to March 14, 191 the date when the list was filed here. A radical departure has been made in these cases from the practice prevailing in the case which have heretofore arisen where settlers have peen in conflict with selections made by the field notes of survey In the latter cases, the most of which arose in Koochiching county, the burden of proof was upon the settler E. J. McGOWAN Republican nominee for regester of deeds, Itasca County. to show the non-ewampy character of the land. Im ithe new cases arising out of conflict where an examination was made in the field, the burden of proof will be on the state to show that the land is swampy, when con- test arises with an actual settler. Many settlers have been waiting for four or five years for a chance to ‘be heard in these cases before the department. Many have tried to start come proceedings whereby to ‘try oat the cases involved. Notice will be served upon the wovernor, and sixty days will be allowed the state to make answer to the claim of the settler and ask for a hearing. Two cases have already River, and Leech Jake, The lands which have been claimed by the state. even though patented, will not be disturbed. In other instances the settlers have already offered fin- al proof, \ Fire Hits Calumet Hard. Fire destroyed two large buildings in Calumet on Thursday morning Both buildings were two stories in heighth and both were used as sal- oons. with living rooms overhead They were located on Main street and were immediately across from the postoffice; which also caught fire at one time but was saved by hard work. The occupants of the upper rooms of the burning buildings barely escaped with their lives, and without clothing. No one seems to ‘know how the fire started, as it occured at about five o’clock in the morning. Calumet is installing water works, but as yet they are not com- pleted and were not available dur- jmg the fire. This is the third fire that has touched this side of the steret in a comparatively short time. It was reported that two men had been burned to death in the fire, but this rumor has not been confirm- ed to our Knowledge as we go to press.—Bovey Iron News. Appropriations for ' " Many. Roads (Continued from Page One.) same. The bids for the construction of county road No. 68 were rejected, while the bids for the construction of county road No. 74 were laid on the table and continued to the next meet- ing. The petition for a road in 56- 25 and 56-26 was also laid over to the next meeting. The county surveyor was instruct- ed to make a survey for a ditch ‘at the outlet of Horse Shoe lake and make report before the next meeting, which will be held November 10. The petition from the town of Nashwauk baking that the indebtedness of the towns of Greenway and Nash- wauk be apportioned, was laid over to the next meeting and the county auditor was instructed to advertise for bids for the construction of a road in 55-25. The application of Chas. Stark, who made application for a loan from the county, offering as security certain lands in 148-26, was laid over to the next meeting. The county surveyor was instructed to make a survey for a highway leading from 146-26 to the village of Deer River. The report of P. L. Ramquist in- spector of mines in Itasca, county Iwas received and placed on file. It showed there were twelve fatal ac- cidents in the mines during the past year, 206 slight injuries and six am- putations of members of the upper or lower limbs.

FOR REBATING Itasca and Deer River Lumber Com- panies Were, Allowed Rake-offs on Log Hauling. county A dispatch from St. Paul states that the Minneapolis & Rainy River Railway company gave the Itasca Lumber company rebates from its regular published tariffs, amounting to $288,634.29, and that it gave rebates to the Deer River Lumber company amounting to $9,008, is re cited in a report of Anton Schaefer, ‘public examiner, given out last thursday. A copy of his findings has been placed in the hands of the state auditor and will be forwarded imedi- ately to the attorney general. It is probable that action will be brought against the road for violation of the anti-rebate laws. According ito Mr. Schaefer’s com- munication, the railroad owes the state of Mimnesota $12,449.12 in back taxes on gross earnings, representin; the difference between the contract rate charged the lumber compauic: on shipments of logs and the rate. contained im the published tariffs ti ed with the state railroad and ware house commission. Of this sum $11,545,387 is due from the Itasca company and the balance from the Deer River company. ‘Ihe reductions are alleged to have beeu made during the period beginning July 1, 1905, and running clear on through to December 31, 1909, Consulting a local representative of the road this morning the News was informed that nothing was known of the matter here except that an agent of the state examiner’s office was here two days last winter and look- ed aver the books. As the Itasca Lumber Co., the Deer River Lumber Co., and the Minneapolis & Rainy River Railroad Co. are practically on: and controlled by the same men, the representative thought no. violation had been committed, and he thought the matter could be settled without trouble—Deer River News.

Messrs.Buck.and Partosh.ane mak- ing no little hit with their venture in opening up the Lillian theatre, and so far their entertainments have been largely attended. The life motion pictures are some of the best ever shown in the city; Miss Florence Hunkins’, illustrated songs are very pleasing, and so far nothing but com- mendations has been heard concern- ing the new management and their shiows. . The best of order is al- ways maintained, the cigarette smok- ing in the lobby has been eliminated, and Messrs.
