The law which passed at last session of legislature making/it a misdemeanor subject to fihejfor the official paper of the villages to fail to publish the financial statement of the village at least one full week before the village election, is causing the village editors considerable more work than is usual. It is doubtful if it is generally understood in all villages and it is likely that there will be several who will suffer the penalty'for not having put iished it, but in many of the offices the statement is being prepared for publica tion this week. jj Heretofore it has been custom ary for the financial statement to be pasted on public buildings and other conspicuous places but this was hardly a reliable method of publishing it and it is now a state law that all official papers in the villages of the state must publish it.

Cleveland, March 2.The Iron Trade Review announces on reliable Duluth authority that the long pend ing deal for the ore land leases from the Hill interest to the steel trust has come to a head. Terms are agreed upon, with one possible item in re serve, and a compromise has been reached on royalties. The United States Steel corporation agrees to haul over the Great North ern to Lake Superior .not less,than 10,000,000 tons of ore every year at 80 cents a ton for thirty years. That is a guarantee of $8,000,000 a year freight for the Great Northern at a rate that is considered very remuner ative. A royalty is to be paid of 75 cents a ton this year, 80 cents next year and so on to $1 a ton, at which it is to continue the rest of the thirty years. The deposits are reckoned at not. less than 300,000,000 tons. The royalties will come to not less than $250j000jf 00. It is understood that the deal hung fire for some time between 75 .cents and $1, bid and asked. The compro mise gives the Hill interest the larger end of the p.mount in dispute for twen ty-five out of the thirty years. The relation of the ore companies to the Great Northern has not been disclosed and therein lies a doubt as to the distribution of the melon. Great Northern stock has been boomed above 300 on the whispered anticipa tion that Hill was going to divide, this treasure of iron ore with his friends. Great Northern in any case is as sured a profitable haul on 10,000,000 tons of ore yearly, the present rate of 80 cents being liberal compensation. But the profits of that have already been discounted. TERMINALS International Falls Land Under Option to Duluth Winnipeg Line, International Palls, March 2. What is believed to be a move on the part of the Duluth, Rainy Lake & Winnipeg to secure its own terminals at International Falls has developed from the announcement that P. A. Smith of Fort Francis has secured options on all of the land along the river front above town., This would be the natural crossing place for any road that desires its own terminals, and while Smith refuses to confirm or deny the report, there is suffi cient evidence at hand to indicate that the railroad people are back of the deal. The amount involved in the options is said to be $22,100. AAAAWV. Miss Anna Fisher returned to her home at Northome last night after a short yisit with friends in Bemidji.
