WINNIPEG, March 7.—News of
one of those tragedies of the wilds
came to police attention today from
Nepigon. It tells of the terrible end
ing of two mail carriers whose duty
it is to traverse the lonely trails of
Che northland to outlying posts and
camps. The middle of last week two
mail carriers were reported missing at
Port Arthur. Searching parties started
'-:-. off- and, after traveling some distance,
noticed the snow broken up. Around
the trampled £now there was every
evidence of an awful struggle having
taken place. Here and there were
blood splashes, and, brushing off a
thin covering of snow, hands, feet and
other portions of the bodies were ex
posed. Four big wolves were found
close by shot dead. The mall car-
Tiers had sold their lives dearly and
an investigation proved others had
been wounded. Widening the search
letters were picked up, also brass
locks which fastened mail bags, the
bags and leather straps had been de
Toured.
That was all that was found of the
two mail carriers, one a white man
and the other a half breed, or their
1

mail-packages.
*A reign of terror exists among the

packs of wolves. Even the bush wolf

ST. PAUL WILL HAVE
EXPENSIVE LIBRARY
ST. PAUL, March 7.—A new public
library to cost not less than 1500,000
will be built on a block opposite Rice
park. Announcement of the project
was made at an enthusiastic meeting
at the headquarters of the Association
of Commerce.
James J. Hill started the movement
by stating his determination to build
a reference library on the Market
street side of this tract.
Mr. Hill's proposition is to buy the
ground for a reference library, put up
the building and maintain it, the
building to be a unit -of a general
architectural scheme for the whole li
brary.
Of the $127,000 required to buy the
land not now owned by the city, 130,
000 is believed to be available from
the Greenleaf Clark fund of the library
board.
Eight members of the Association
of Commerce pledged themselves to
raise ,$5,000 each, and President
Kluckhohm of the association will ap
point seventeen more. These twenty
five men will act as captains of teams,

BUILDING (IP OF AN
Special to The Tribune.
WASINGTON, D. C, March 7.—It 1»
doubtful if there is any one subject
pending before congress in which
American trade is more vitally inter
ested than the question of tolls on
the Panama Canal which, in view of
the opening of the "big ditch'* next
year, must be speedily settled in or
der that all nations may be advised
in due season of the position taken by
our government.
There are now pending before con
gress several bills which have their
purpose the separation of the water
carriers from the rail carriers. To
be more explicit, it Is the purpose of
tiese bills to prevent railroads from
owning or controlling competing water
lines, either directly or indirectly.
An effort is being made to prevent
the enactment of this legislation by
trying to make it appear that, if such
a bill is passed, it is doubtful whether
there will be any American line3 of
steamers engaged in traffic through
the Panama canal.
During the past week William R.
Wheeler, representing the San Fran
cisco chamber of commerce, D. O.
Ives, the Boston chamber of com
merce, N. B. Kelly, the Philadelphia
chamber of commerce, and J. N. Teal,
the Portland chamber of commerce,
have appeared before committees of
congress, the secretary of war and
other officials and have urged with all
the force and argument at their com
mand the necessity of the legislation
proposed while R. P. Schwerin vice
president and general manager of the
Pacific Mall Steamship company, and
Maxwell Evarts general counsel of
the Harriman lines, have been equally
busy in opposing it.
Mr. Joseph N. Teal, of Oregon, who
has made transportation problems a
study for many years, and who is
looked upon as an authority upon the
question of rail and water rates, said
in the course of an interview upon
the subject:
"The principal opponents of this
legislation—at least those who are
most in evidence—are the representa
tives of the Southern 'Pacific company
which, through its ownership of a con
trolling interest in the Pacific Mall
Steamship company, operating from
Panama to Pacific coast points, has
for years done all in its power to el
iminate not only water competition
but the use of water for transporta
tion.
"One of the principles for which
the National Rivers and Harbors con
gress has continuously contended for
essary to the purchase of the land work for the
will be raised in less than a week.
Mayor Keller believes the council
and police board will gladly donate
the land, intended for a new police
station, for .library purposes.
The building of the library will be
by bond issue, but it will not add to
the city debt, because the property
of the city at Seventh and Wabasha
streets, now used as a library build
ing, will pay the itnerest and retire
the bonds in thirty years.
TWO BROKE JAIL
WITH ONLY A SPOON
MADISON. Wis., March «J.—Several
days ago two prisoners from tbo
county jail here made their escape.
Sheriff Brown was surprised when
Arthur Brown, a federal prisoner, held
for forgery, told him that the cell
doors were defective and that with
the aid of a spoon he could get out at
any time. The sheriff challenged him
to show how the trick could be done.
In the presence of a number of offi
cials and members of he county board
B'rown today made good his boast,
and now the county board is ready to
make an appropriation to renovate the
Jail.
BLAISDELL BUSY WITH
CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS
FARGO, March 7.—Hon. Alfred
Blaisdell of Minot was a Fargo visit
yesterday. Years ago Mr. Blalsiell
lived in this city but after hetoadbeen
admitted to the bar he hied him to
Minot, where he has since shown in
the poitical glare constantly illuminat
ing the Magic City, he having no small
part in causing the illumination. As
a result of this the good people of
that bailiwick gave Mr. Blaisdell the
delegation from Ward county to the
last convention which startled the
state-juntil the Grand Forks perform
ance—^and when the smoke had
cleared away Alfred was en route
home with the nomination for secre
tary of state. He won out at the polls
and won again two years later, when
he gave over the pursuit of state of
fice in a race for congress, in which
he played a conspicuous part and had
a good run for his money. Later, 'n
a reminiscent mood, he retired to his
library and -wrote of his experiences,
which,/while not so extensive of those
of Grant or Sherman, yet found many
interested readers, who thereafter
looked upon some kinds of politics
with a new understanding of their In
tricacies.
During the past two years Alfred
has been recuperating himself by hard

years has been the elimination of
this railroad control of competing
water carriers and the securing for
water transportation the position it
deserves as an Instrumentality of com
merce. I have no hesitancy in saying
that every one who believes in the
use of water for transportation pur
poses should at this time, while this
legislation is pending, use all his in
fluence in its favor, for if it fails now
it will be very difficult to secure its
enactment in the future.
"It Is a strange situation to find
the Southern Pacific company en
deavoring to secure this legislation,
which It claims will enable it to com
pete with itc^lf by sea but this is
the position it claims to occupy and
the condition is asks the people to
accept. The Southern Pacific alleges
that it is its purpose, through its con
trol of the Pacific Mail Steamship
line, to build four 18-knot vessels cost
ing $12,000,000, which it expects to
operate through the canal between
New York and the Orient but it in
sists that in order so to do it must at
the same time engage in the coast
wise trade between New York on the
one hand and Los Angeles and San
Francisco on the other, making these
cities ports of call.
"In view of the general desire to
build up an American Mercchant
Marine this is a very ingenious device
by which to obscure the real purpose,
which is to obtain the power to fix
rates for transportation by water be
tween the two coasts and thus be
enabled to maintain transcontinental
rail rates. It is obvious that the pro
posed construction of these four large
steamships is held out as a consola
tion prize' to. those interested in the
upbuilding of an American Merchant
Marine, but anyone who is familiar
with the history of railroad controlled
steamship lines understands that the
establishment of such a line Will pre
vent investments by private owners
in the building and operation of inde
pendent lines. Even if anyone was
foolish enough to establish an Inde
pendent line it would speedily be
driven out of business, as has happen
ed in many similar cases before, for
the railroad company would simply
operate its boats* at a loss until the
independent line was destroyed and
then make back its lose-, by putting
rates as high as it pleased. When
the true inwardness of the bltuatlon
is understood the proposition of the
Southern Pacific company is not likely
to be received with favor either by
congress or the public."
