Vail, Reynolds and the others are right in advocating publi- city amd public control. Both are things which eventually will go far towards making a good feeling be tween the corporations and people, and will assist im settling much of the antagonism which now seems to prevail.” SELECTED HILL CITY FOR BUSINESS POINT J. F. Metzger Will Open Dry Goods Store at the New Town at Once. As was announced a week ago, J. . Metzger and family moved to Hill City where they will make their fu- ture home. Mr Metzger had prac- tically closed a deal to purchase an established grocery and dry goods business in that town, but when the inventory was taken the goods on hand were not what Mr. Mtezger fig- ured on and the deal fell through. After arriving there, however, Mr. and Mra Metzger liked the town so well and the people they met there that they at once decided to remain and as a result Hill City will have a new business establishment. A complete stock of dry goods, no- tions, etc., will be put in. Mr. and Mrs, Metzger have many ; United States senator from Minnesota.

Washburn, Jr., ;of Minneapolis has announced that if | mo one else moves he will bring action i im court to set aside the “seven sena- ; tor” bill for an amendment to the | state constitution. Hennepin county members deter- ,; Mined, when the bill passed in such an alleged irregular way, to contest | it to the end, but they have had no consultation. since the sessiin ad- journed. Later definite plans for the legal fight will be made. “The passage of the go called ‘seven | senator’ bill, by which Hennepin coun- | ty now and probably Ramsey and St. Louis counties in the future, are de prived of the equal rights of suffrage, is a gross violation of the constitutions of the state and of the United States, which guarantee to every citizen equal jaw,” said Mr. Washburn.

News of Especlal Interest to Minnesota Readers, LEGISLATIVE SESSION ENDS Several Important Measures Rushed Through During the Clos- ing Hours. After several woeks of confusion in which it appeared that the 1911 ses- sion of the state legislature woud have the poorest record of accomplishment of any legislature in recent years both houses finally got down to work and passed several important measures which had been pending and the rec- ord, contrary to expectations, will show a number of important bills passed. The four bills that havé caused the most discussion during the session were the four popular vote bills, name- ly, the popular election of senators, the statewide primary, the recall and the initiative and referendum. The sen- ate passed the Keefe bill for the popu- Jar election of senators by a good sized vote. The initiative and referendum, which had passed the house, did not come to a vote in the senate, where it had come out of committee only a) couple of days ago. The statewide primary and the re call were both senate bills which the house had amended. The senate on Monday refused to concur in the house amendments and conference committees were appointed on both bills. The conference committee on the statewide primary recommended | that the house recede from its amend- ment putting in the judges and that the senate accept the house amend- ment including the legislative mem- bers. The house adopted the report and repassed the bill, sending it over to the senate. This put both of these bills up to the senate. Abolishes Capital Punishment. Capital punishment will no longer be practiced in Minnesota, as soon as the governor can receive and affix his signature to the bill passed by the sen- ate. By a vote of 35 to 19 the Mc- Kenzie bill, which already had passed the house, was adopted by the upper branch of the legislature. The senate also repassed the Dill limiting any county to seven senators, as amended by the house, and the gov- ernor announced that he would sign it Hundreds of bills fell by the way- side when the session ended and a few of the bills over which the house and senate have spent lengthy arguments and long filibusters during the last few weeks have become law. But de- spite that a number of important measures have gone through, but have opposition to them was not 80 pro- nounced. Following are the important bills passed: One mill tax for good roads; enlarging highway commission; general forestry bill; prohibiting sale of malt drinks; monthly sales of state lands; limiting any county to seven senators; peddlers’ license; popular election of senators; abolition of capital punish- ment. Following are some measures that failed to pass: Reapportionment; ton- mage tax; county option; 5 per cent gross earnings tax; initiative and refer- endum; the recall; statewide primary; workmen’s compensation acts; regu- lation of telephones; reorganization of state departments; waterway and water supply bills; local option for fourth class cities. STATE WINS TRESPASS CASE Federal Supreme Court Refuses to Pass on Litigation. For want of jurisdiction the federal supreme court dismissed the appeals of the Rat Portage Lumber company and the Le Sueur Lumber company in their litigation with the state of Min- nesota. The decision leaves in force the judgment of the supreme court of Minnesota, which gives the state dam- ages for trespass by the lumber com- panies on the state school lands. WISH FOR DEATH GRATIFIED St. Paul Man Contracts Pneumonia in Plunge From Bridge. Charles W. Johnson of St. Paul, forty years old, the street car motor- man who jumped from the Robert street bridge several days ago, is dead at the city hospital. Pneumonia was the direct cause of death, Johnson having apparently es- eaped any serious injury in the 100- foot plunge from the bridge into the river, whence he was rescued by boat- men. Boy Kills His Sister. Stella Kabot, aged twenty, daughter of John Kabot, residing near Ivanhoe, died as the result of a gunshot wound inflicted upon her accidentally by a younger brother who in walking away from the Kabot home swung the gun across his shoulder and in so doing caused the weapon to be discharged. The entire charge entered the girl’s back. OFTHE PST YEA Understood the Hill Mine Plans on Shipping Out Over 1,500,000 Tons of Ore. WORK SEVEN SHOVELS ON ORE About 1,000,000 Tons Will Be Mer- chantable Ore, While Balance Will Go Through Concen- trator at Coleraine. The report has gone forth that the Oliver Iron Mining Co. will make heavy shipments from the western end of the Mesaba range this season and the equipment at al] their mines is being increased, says The Iron Index. At the Hill mine, here, it is plann- ed to ship out about 1,500,000 tons of ore this year. As only 800,000 tons were shipped out last year, this means that the output will be double. While the equipment will not be increased to any great extent, a num- ber of shovels will be pulled off of the stripping. job and put in the ore. The present working force is about 500 men and this will be increased to over 600. Of the amount to be shipped from the Hill mine, about 1,000,000 tons will be merchantable ore, that is, ore that is clean enough and of high enough grade so that shipment will be made direct to the docks. The balance of the output, which will be low grade ore, will be taken to Coleraine where it will be put through the washing plant before it is in shape for transportation. ‘ When one considers the fact that @ large number of the mines on the other end of the range have been shut down and will not ship this sea- son, Marble is fortunate in having a mine that contains a high grade ore, which will mean continued prosperity for the village. Contractor Runquist is rushing to completion the work of putting in tracks from the pit to the Mesaba over which the low grade ore will be hauled and the tracks will be in readiness for traffic in a few days. SECTION NINE WILL OPEN THIS SPRING Winston & Deere Have Secured Contract for Stripping and Will Start May 1. Messrs. Benson and Hanson, head men for Winston & Deere, the strip- ping contractors, were at Calumet Wednesday to look over the ground in preparation for the work of strip- ping Section No. 9. This body of ore | is owned by the Peckans-Mathew Co., an independent concern and is said to contain some very high grade ore. While the announcement the prop- erty would be worked this spring did not occasion much surprise, a crew of surveyors having been here for two or three months last fall, platting the ground, still the fact they will have four shovels in operation has caused hope to beat high in the hearts of Calumet residents, for it will mean a big boom for the town. Section No. 9 lies about a mile north of Calumet and while it has been known for some time the prop- erty would be stripped, the definite date was not known. Four shovels will mean about twenty engines and the employment of about 300 men. This in turn will mean increased trade both for the merchants of Mar- ble and Calumet and a corresponding growth in population for both villages It is stated the work will commence about May 1. A Bright Boy. Robert K. Paterson, a son of Rob- ert Paterson and a student at the Grand Rapids high school, is of a me chanical turn of mind. He is taking mechanical drawing in the manual training department and while at this work conceived the idea of an improvised forge. He immediately set to work drawing out his ideas and sent in the drawing to Munn & Co., publishers of the Scientific Amer ican. It was so good they wrote to him, enclosing a check for $3 in payment for the idea and stated it would be reproduced in an early is- sue, This is but one of the many instances where practical knowledge, gained at school, can be put to a@ F.
