SA GREA WESTER
WILL FIGH INCREAS E
Eeports at the state capitol say that
the Great Northern is going to pay the
4 per cent gross earnings tax -without a
contest, but 'that the Great Western
will refuse to pay the increase.
Legally, both roads are on the same
footing, having territorial charters
which are claimed to be perpetual con
tracts with the state. The Great North
ern charter is on a 3 per cent basis,
however, while the Great Western has
never paid more than 2 per cent, and
its tax is doubled by the new law.
The Great Northern has paid $200,000
on account, but has made no report yet.
The Great Western has not been heard
from.

Independent Mine Owners Said to Be
Holding Iron Ore Stock to Commend
Higher PricesBank Clerks of Du
luth and Superior Decide to Organize
a Chapter of the American Institute.
Speoial to The Journal.
Duluth, Minn., Feb 6Owing to steadily In
creasing demand for iron ore from the Lake Su
perior region the independent mine owners are
holding on to their ore for higher prices This
seems apparent from the fact that some of the
mines have sold less, ore for 1006 delivery than
1905.
The Biwablk Ore company, which owns the
reat Blwabik mine on the Mesaba, is a good
example of the new conditions that seem to be
growing This mine shipped more than 1,000,-
000 tons in 1905, and this yeai will ship only
about 700,000 tons The, Youngstown Steel com
pany and the Briar Hill Iron & Coal company,
which control the Blwabik Ore company, use
about half of the product of the mine, and the
other half has been sold in the general market.
The mine is deyeloped to .such an extent that
It could ship 2,000,000 tons In a season, and
this is one of the years when heavy sales could
have been made, but tlie company is not letting
go anything like the amount it could sell and
ship.
Bank Clerks Organize.
Bank clerks of this city and Superior will

CROOKSTON, MINN^-The general land office
has made a new ruling in rejecting the proof
filed by Ole O Brekke Rejection was not on
the grounds that be had not complied strictly
with the letter of the law, but that he had
failed to comply with the spirit of the law.
Brekke has lived on the land twenty-three
months and fifteen days, but the fact that this

led the department at Washington to the belief
that he did not regard the homestead as his
real home, and that his residence there was

of seed selection.
In the matter of corn smut, a good deal of
interest has been evinced in the question of its
treatment The expeits held out no hope that
seeds can be treated so as to prevent the smut

it appears would cut down the Infection and keep
it out of the corn in some degree Objection
has been made that in the selection of corn seed
and the testing of germination too much time
is taken In fact, it is stated that the farmer
does not have time to do this
An experiment at the Illinois experiment sta

corn seed enough for the planting of sixty-seven
acres could be selected and tested for germina

about 20 per cent the investment of so little
time is well worth making.

ORtJSADE AGAINST SALOONS
Sioux City Minister's Action May Up

SIOUX CITY. IOWA.Rev. I. N ifcCaBh,

caused consternation among the saloon men of
this city yesterday by announcing that he
would at once begin a legal campaign to make
every saloon In the city close at 10 When
Mayor Sears went into office two years ago,
he made an agreement with the saloons to allow
them to remain cen tUl 11 o'clock five nights
in the week and till 12 o'clock Saturday night,
if in return they would obey all the other pro
visions of the mulct law. The lew provides
for closing at 10 o'clock This pact of course
cannot withstand the attack of Rev. Mr. Mc
Cash, as it is illegal, and it will disorganize the
entire situation here.
It was learned on good authority here yes
terday that the franchise to use Third street,
the second most important tuorofare in the city,
for an elevated structure, will be given up by
the Great Northern railroad this month. The
franchise was obtained fiom the cuoncll. with
out compensation, a year ago, and the structure
was to be built within a year. No work has
ever been done, and now it is believed that.
the Great Northern simply wanted the street
to use (ts a leverage on the Union Terminal
Railway company to force down its price on its
$1,500,000 terminal property here. The Great
Northern is generally understood to have se
cured these terminals and consequently will
have no use for Third street.

CAR SHORTAGE IS
-BEING RELIEVED
RAILROADS EXPLAIN CAUSE OF
TROUBLE I N NORTHWEST.
South Dakota Commissioners Return to
Sioux Falls from Investigating Trip
to Large Terminal PointsOne Road
Will Send 700 Cars into State at
Once to Relieve Crowded Elevators.
Bpeoial to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. eb 6.A thoro investi
gation of the causes of the car shortage that
has prevailed in South Dakota for several weeks
occupied the attention of the board of railroad
commissioners while on an official trip to the
big terminal points.
Prior to the board's departure numerous com
plaints had been made of alleged discrimination
in thS distribution of empty cars, and recently
the Tri-State Grain Dealers' association filed a
complaint in which it was charged, among other
things, that the railroad companies were pur
posely withholding ca.rs from the elevator men
of South Dakota. In view of the nature and
number of the complaints, the rajlroad commis
sioners deemed it best to investigate the matter
St. Paul was first vtelted There the com
missioners called on the officials of the Omaha
railroad. But few complaints had befen made
from points on this road, and these, it was
explained, were due to the fact that cars loaded
at points on the Omaha road for points on other
roads were retained by the other roads, which,
owing to the heavy demand for cars, were
wlUing to pay the per diem charge for their
use and kept the cars as long as possible.
These cars are now being returned to the Omaha
road and no further shortages are expected on
that line.
Cause of Shortage.
At Minneapolis the commissioners called on
the officials of the Milwaukee railroad, who
summarised the reasons for the car shortage on
their road about as foUows
First, because of the unusually heavy ship
ments of grain and other farm products, second,
owing to the pleasant weather experienced during
the winter the farmers were able to market
practically their entire ciops, and the grain
was rushed to market 'Within a comparatively
short time, filling the elevators to the bursting
point and making it a physical impossibility for
the railroads to furnish cais fast enough to
supply the heavy demand and keep the crops
moving
It was pointed out by the railroad officials
that every effort had been made to make equita
ble distribution of empty cars, and that no
intentional discrimination in the distribution of
these cars had been shown. At Chicago addi
tional facts bearing on the car shortage were
ascertained.

A New Preparation Which Everyone
WiU Need Sooner or Later.
Almost everybody's digestion is dis^
ordered more or less, and the common
est thing they do for it is to take some
one of the many so-called blood puri
fiers, which in many cases are merely
strong cathartics. Such things are not
reeded If the organs are in a clogged
condition they need only a little help
and they will right themselves. Catn
artics irritate the sensitive linings of
the stomach and bowels and often do
more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in con
dition to be readily digested and as
similated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly. *They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help it needs. They stimulate.%,
the secretion and excretion of the di
gestive fluids and relieve the congested
condition of the glands and membranes.
They put the whole digestive system
in condition to do its work. When that
is dotae you need take no more tablets,
unless you eat what does not agree
with you. Then take one or two tao- j-jS
letsgive them needed help and you ^Q
will have no trouble. $W,
