‘PAGE EIGHT POTATO MEN WIN $20,000,000 CASE Interstate Commission Reverses Railroad Order Refusing Heated Cars The Minnesota Potato Growers and Shippers’ association, in a case involving the annual movement of $20,000,000 of perishable freight, Tuesday won the greatest victory of its history when Interstate Com- merce Commissioner James 8. Har- lan decided that the railroads must take shipments of potatoes in freezing weather and provide suit- able lined and heated cars. Millions of bushels of potatoes in the city and at the country load- ing stations were held up last win- fer because the roads would not load them when the temperature was below freezing point and re- frigerator cars not available, which is declared by Commissioner Har- lan to be not justified. The ruling makes a precedent, relative to pos- sible like conditions elsewhere in the United States, for the roads to provide sufficient rolling stock properly constructed to handle such business, or take upon themselves the cost of artificially heating the ordinary box cars when such cars are used. Commissioner Harlan, according to Washington advices, will issue no mandatory order upon the rail- roads, but will request a conference, between the railroads and the po- tato shippers to arrive at a de- finite understanding. J. R. Beggs of St. Paul, presi- dent of the Minnesota Potato Grow- e and Shipper’s association, and Secretary R. E. Seavey of Minnea- polis filed a protest with the com- mission last winter, after a tie-up of the movement of potatoes from Minnesota south and west. George B. Higgins of Minneapolis, who is now secretary, has had correspon- dence with the commission since then. G. T. Simpson, former at- torney general of Minnesota, was attorney for the association. “It is a great vietory for the shippers,’ said Mr. Seavey. “It means that a condition like that of last winter, which blocked, tem- porarily, a heavy traffic movement, cannot again develop.” The decision also covers Wiscon- sin. It is principally important to Minnesota because of the enormous quantity of Minnesota seed stock that move southward to Texas, Ok- jahoma, Kansas, Missouri and other states in the winter. paneer eit eee NEGROES AS MINE WORKERS IS LATEST A new class of laborer has been added to the list of workers of Northern Minnesota. The Great Northern railway last week import- ed twenty-three southern negroes to work at its roundhouse and in the yards at Kelly Lake. The dark- ies w secured through a St. Louis employment agency, and it is thought that they are aonly the fore-runners of large crews to ar- rive when the ore shipping sea- son gets in full swing. The new laborers are to be housed and fed in boarding cars during their stay and the agreement is that they will remain until the mines close down. Business men on the range do not seem to object to the presence of the new class, claiming that they prefer them to certain kinds of foreigners. It is thought, however,' that white workmen generally will not take kindly to the new order of things. The Hibbing Tribune has the fol- lowing to say about the new im- portations: “According to those who have seen the Negroes brought to Kelly (BERG VILLE POSTOFFICE) Fire Patrolman made a business trip to Northome Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. 0. O. Vandervort drove over to Bergville on ‘Tues- day evening to attend the church meeting held in the school house there. : Walter Clark made a business trip to Northome on Tuesday. Bert Stonefield and Chester Van- dervort are employed at the Island saw mill. Misses Agnes Cassidy and Irene Price called on West Side friends Saturday. Harry Price left Monday for Be- midji. Mrs. Price will shortly leave to spend the summer in Duluth. Mr. and Mrs. P, D, Whitinger were Northome visitors Friday. Assessor Emil Johnson was a business visitor on the Range for a couple of days this week. Miss May Lunney, wha has taught at the Bergville school during the past term, returned home Saturday to spend her vacation. Her many friends are glad to welcome her back. Misses Irene and Marie Price were pleasant callers at the Sunflower farm on Tuesday evening. Miss Hazel Vandervort visited with the Knaeble sisters at Bere- ville the first of the week. J. M. Price returned home Satur- day after spending a few days at Hines and Bemidji. James Vandervort and his sister, Miss Hazel, visited friends at Ever- green iodge last Tuesday evening. Bearville People Interested. Martin Stram of Bearville was conferring with Auditor Spang of Itasca county at Grand Rapids last week says the Chisholm Misaba Miner. While there he met Com- missioner King of Deer River who informed him that there is a move on foot to connect the Goodland- Keewatin judicial highway to the Bear River judicial road, and that he believed that the project had been referred to Shellman for his endorsement. This road has the endorsement of the commercial bodies of Chis- holm, Hibbing, Keewatin, Nash- wauk, Bovey and Coleraine which are putting forth every effort to encourage the agricultural develop- ment of the north country and be- lieve good roads are an important faetor in that development. Statement of Fact. In view of the fact that George Pool has seen fit to publish a no- tice in which he warns the public not to trust me on his account, 1 wish to say that he never has paid my bills. During the seven years that I lived with him it was my earnings that clothed me, and provided the household with food and furnishings. It was unneces- sary for him to publish such a warning. There is no danger that any merchant or other person who knows Mr. Pool would let me have goods on his credit. If I depended upon that I would starve to death. Mrs. George Pool. At the Gem Tonight and tomorrow the Gem presents one of the most astonish- ing achievments of moving picture history.

Fall lake, situated near Winton, was the scene of a triple drowning when G. P. Tianey, A. Puranen and Victor Purlite, all employes of Winton sawmills, were thrown into the lake from a canoe. None of the bodies have been re- covered, but their overturned boat and failure to return home leaves no doubt of their fate in the minds of relatives and friends. The men left Winton in a gaso- line launch. Their destination was the head of the lake, a distance of about six miles from Winton, where they purposed to fish. The theory advanced is ‘that the men left the launch for a canoe in order to reach the fishing grounds and were cap- sized. WAS A NATIVE MINNESOTAN Mrs. Mary Belland, Centenarian, Dead at St. Paul. Mrs. Mary Belland, probably the oldest native resident of the state, widow of Henry Belland, who was one of the first government scouts in the territory of Minnesota, is dead at St. Paul. She was 100 years old, but in spite of her age she had been strong and able to walk about alone until a few weeks before her death. Mrs. Belland had been a resident of St. Paul continuously since 1846. Up to the time of her husband’s death in January, 1885, she had lived in a log house on the West Side, but for sev eral years past she has lived with her daughter. ‘ Mrs. Belland was born in Lac qui Parle, Minn. Her maiden name was Jefferson and her parents had been jamong the first white settlers of the state, coming here a few years before her birth. She was married to Henry Belland, then in the employ of the American Fur company, in 1839. SUICIDE PACT FATAL TO ONE St. Paul Man Wounds Bride and Kills Himself. J. J. Curl, twenty-seven years old, who had recently made his home in St. Paul while employed as a time- keeper for the Cook Construction company, shot and seriously wounded his bride of a day, who was formerly Miss Margaret Logan of Kansas City, Mo., in their room at the Boardman hotel, and then turned the revolver on himself and inflicted a wound from which he died a few hours later at the city hospital. The suicide and probable murder followed an agreement made by the husband and. wife to die together rather than face unhappiness and dis- grace. The bride had arrived from her home Thursday to be married, but found her affianced husband in a cell accused of forgery. Refusing to be lieve him guilty she married him.

It is possi- ble that the idea may be adopted next Attempt to Kill Several Persons at St. Paul Fails. An attempt at wholesale destruc tion of life was made when a dyna- mite bomb was hurled through the sitting room window in the home of A. E. Russell, St. Paul. No one was hurt, but almost the entire side of the frame house was torn off by the con- | cussion and the interior of the dining , room was almost wrecked. Damage estimated at over $1,000 was done. Eight persons were sitting on the front porch at the time. Detectives arrested John Conte, a laborer employed in the Omaha rail- road shops, and locked him up pend- ing an investigation. No formal charge has been entered against him. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Russell there were at home a number of roomers. All were considerably shaken up by the explosion and that no lives were lost is considered remarkable. Whether the bomb was planted or hurled through the window, the po- lice have been unable to determine. It is thought, however, that dynamite in stick form was used. The explosion was heard for a mile or more and shook adjoining build- ings like leaves on a tree. RAILWAY CONTRACTOR DEAD Archibald Guthrie of St. Paul Expires at Chicago.
