PAGE EIGHT. GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1911. [3 INVESTIGATING THE STEEL TRUST Kentucky Congressman Looking for Light in Northern Minnesota. CONGRESS MAKING INVESTIGATION Chairman Stanley Discusses The Steel Corporation and Says Only Facts Are Being Looked For. The history of the Minnesota Iron ranges from the time of the Mernitts down to the present day will be gone into by the congressional committee, which is investigating the United Steel corporation, according to sssman A, O, Stanley of Hend- erson, Ky., tee, who arrived in Duluth Thursday morning, says the Evening Herald. Congressman Stanley, who was ac- companied by his secretany, M. H. Mahler, and R. W. Wooley, special investigator for the committee, came to Northern Minnesota to look over conditions on the iron ranges, to in- terview men having knowledge of the utions of the Steel corporation field, and to determine what ses will be required to bring testimony as to the develop- f the iron mining industry in Minnesota. Nelson of Hibbing, who met Congressman Stanley in Chicago, ac- comp ed Mr. Stanley to Duluth, and conducted the party over the Duluth is more vitally interested in this investigation than amy city in the world,” said the congressman. “I don’t know whether Duluth is alive to the fact, or not, and it is hardly my province riticize the attitude of the city. or community Lafond’s Ice Cream Parlors FRUITS Confections Ices of all Kinds shed Fruits and fresh Flavors A FULL LINE OF Cigars and Smoking and Chewing Tobaccos > Booths for those who itronize our Parlors Located in O’Donnell’s Build- ing, Third Street QEEEL EEE P EE EEE P EERO ‘airman of the commit-| T am not looking toward Duluth alone in this inquiry, but toward the en- tire United States. The attitude tak- en by Duluth is the city’s own busi- ness. “I am hardly in a position to dis- cuss the testimony already submitt- ed. nor the impressions created in my mind by it. I am in a judicial ca paeity as chairman of the investigat- ing committee, and a judge cannot express opinions of a case in which mitted.” Taking up the local situation, the congressman said that witnesses will be called from Duluth to appear be- fore the committee and tell the his- tory of the iron mining industry from the first discovery of ore to the pres- ent day. He said he could not name any of the witnesses at this time, amd one of the objects of his * visit here now is to determine who should be called to give the history the committee wants to learn. “The objects of this inquiry is to determine whether the United Stat- es Steel corporation is operating in violation of law, and whether it is a combination in restraint of trade,” said the congressman. “Duluth’s in- terest in the investigation ought to be evident. Take in the matter of rates for the transportation of ore from the range. If the rates are ex- cessive and are stifling independent’ operations, it surely should be to Du- luth’s interest to obtain equitable rates. “I am not saying that the rates are excessive. but at 80 cents a ton, the Duluth, Missabe & Northern, the Du- luth & Iron Range and the Great Northern are getting big returns. In the case of the roads owned by the Steel Corporation, the amount of the rate is hardly material as far as the corporation’s own business is con- cerned. The Steel Corporation tak- es the 80 cents out of its right hand pocket and puts it into its left hand pocket. In the case of the independ- ents, they take the 80 cents out of their right hand pockets and put it in- to the left hand pocket of the Steel corporation. The industry is to deter mine whether the independents are putting more into the pockets of the Steel Corporation than the service is worth.” “If you want to build another road on the range, you must see Mr. Mor- gan for the financing, and Mr. Mor- gan isn’t to be seen for that pur- pose,” added the congressman. Congressman Stanley speaks calm- ly and dispassionately in a pleasing | Southern drawl and expresses him- | self without any striving for effect. | Although he is responsible for the in- vestigation into the operations of the Stiee] Corporation and is working at | it constantly, he hasn’t the air of a | vindictive prosecutor. He takes the | attitude that light should be shed jon the operations of the so-called ‘ Steel Trust, and that his duty to the ‘country requires him to open, avenues through which the light may shine. !

ALL THREE GAMES WERE SHUT-OUTS Winning First By 6 to 0 Score; Second By 5 to 0 Score and Third By Score of 1 to 0. The Grand Rapids Juniors have clearly established their claim to the pennant in the junjor class in north- west circles, having defeated the South Superior Juniors, the only oth- er claimants to the title, in a series of three games here Sunday and Mon- day. 6 to 0. Say, did we show any form that first game? (We sure did. Weaver was on the mound for Grand Rapids and one of the Superior boys put it aptly when he said: “That Indian sure got our goat. We couldn't do anything to him at all.” Erskine was the boy with the mask and the two worked nice together. Weaver has a slow ball that he unwinds for like he was going to throw it through a ‘box car, but the batter generally suf- fers a nervous collapse waiting for it to come near enough to take a swat at. Benton, as usual, played a pretty game at first and that sensa- tional grab by Whaling when the; visitors were ljable to score was eas- ily the best feature of the game. Nault also made a pretty running catch from first that brought a burst of applause. Grand Rapids got two double plays this game, both in the same way, pitcher to second to third. | Weaver only allowed four hits, all scattered, and the boys only got to Kell for six, but they were not scattered enough. Following is the game by innings: RHE (Cae: SS 100a2011x-6 6 4; (ie eae 0000000000 4 6 Batteries: Weaver and Erskine. Kell and Buchannan and Malchow. 5 to 0. That second game wasn’t so slow | either, was it? Lofberg was on the| mound for Grand Rapids and Shook | for South Superior. The game was played in a drizzling rain, but this made no difference to the boys. Up to the fifth inning it was nobody's game, with the score 1 to 0 in Grand Rapids’ favor, but the boys got to | Shook and gathered in three runs, ‘one or two bad errors assisting. Lof- berg held the visitors to two hits and the locals got six hits off Shook. The score by imnings: | RHB| Cooks 00° S000 1 x6 6 8 |S.

Grand Rapids got two hits | the first inning, Erskine landing for ja single and stealing second. Bran- | |don's two base clout brought him jin, the only run during the game. | | Whaling was in the box for Grand | | Rapids and, although it was raining, | making it difficult to pitch, he held jthe visitors to one hit. Kell was up again for Superior and he also is | entitled to credit, for he only al- lowed two hits. Both teams were | supported magnificently and the fea-| ture of the game was Weaver's and Shook’s playing at the third sack. Both gathered in everything that came their'way. Weaver playing an errorless game while Shook had only | one error chalked up against him. Both pitchers were supported mag- nificently and Whaling got eleven | strike-outs while Kell got eight.

During the series, Whaling, Benton | and McAlpine put up an article of baseball that was nearly errorless, each being chalked up with one, and | at the close of the coming season, if the club still hangs together we shall expect to see some of the minor leagues picking them up. The Juniors finished the season with four games lost out of a total of twenty-four played. lanything at all. THIRTY MILLIONS OF INDIAN TIMBER Government Estimates the Remain- ing Reservation Timber at 30,000,000 feet to be Cut. A dozen years ago when the first contracts for cutting Indian pine were made there was said to be a thousand million feet, board measure, of commercial pine on the Leech Lake, Miss‘szippi, Winnibigoshish and Cass Lake reservations says the Cass Lake Times. It is all gone but a few remnants aggregating thirty millions, estimated, and will probab- ly cut forty to forty-five millions. We do not wish to convey the idea that thirty millions of feet is all the commercial pine left on these reser- vations; there are yet great tracts of timber, sold in former years, yet untouched and the work of cleaning up the remnants and milling that which it now in the hands of the lum bermen will last perhaps for another decade. Northern Minmesota will not mourn the end of the commercial pine; it has been cut and removed without much benefit to the state or the immediate residents surrounding it, and when it is all gone and the work of milling the second and infer- ior grades begins we shall see better times than ever before. Then we shall have little mills and the work will be done mostly by the settlers and home trade will be the result. MAKING A FORTUNE OUT OF GRASS SEED | One Kittson County Farmer Makes $30,000.00 Net on Timothy Seed Alone. The Duluth Herald printed a news report Thursday morning from Hal- lesk, Kittson county, which says that A, L. Briggs sold a wagon load of timothy seed from this year’s crop for $850. This report of a small for- tune in a wagon box is interesting un til it is stated that Briggs sold a carload of seed to a Minneapolis buy- ed for $8,000 and that he has a good deal left. Briggs, who is a retired merchant coming to Kittson county from Colo- rado two years ago, has just finished harvesting 700 acres of timothy which will net him approximately $30,000. The J. A. Swenson company shipped a carload of timothy seed, for which it received $10,000. LEAVES HUSBAND; TAKES ONE CHILD Mrs. Louis Beslack Leaves Husband and Departs for Duluth, Leaving Three Year Old Child. From Iron Index, Marble. Louis Beslach, who is employed at the mine, is greatly worried over the sudden departure of his wife, Rose, who left him suddenly Tuesday and departed for Duluth, taking a babe of three months with her and leav- ing a little girl, three years of age, | behind. | Beslach left for his work at the mine Tuesday morning not suspecting! His wife got his | breakfast, the same as usual, but |; when he came home to dinner, his | wife was no where about the prem- | lises, the little girl being unable to} tell him anything. He asked the neighbors and they reported she de- |parted for Duluth on the noon train, taking with her the little baby girl. Beslach can give no reason for her jabandonment of him and the little ‘girl and is greatly worried for fear she may also abandon the little baby. He has written to the chief of po- lice, at Duluth, giving her description and for the sake of the children has set word that she may return if she so desires.
