False Statements C0rrected--The Zeal
dnonnt of Pine-Necessity for a Boon.
Belo,c the Falls.
To the Editor of the Globe.
An article appeared in the Pioneer Press
recently signed Three Crosses, being re-
joinder to former article which showed the
quantity of pine lands on the Mississippi
and tributaries above st. Anthony Falls
owned by different parties.
The article signed Three Crosses claims
that the estimates of the pine was erroneous
ly stated in the former article.
That there is not to exceed 100000, 900
in all.
In answer to this statement we assert that
1900, 100000 is not an overestimate.
According to the best information that
can be obtained from the best informed men
In the State. whose statements are entitled
to full credit and belief, it is ascertained
that there is over 5,000,000,00O feet above
the falls.
John A. Davis, one of the best explorers
IN the State, a man who has a better knowl
edge of pine lands than any man in the
State, gives it as his judgment that on the
Leech Lake Reservation there is nearer
7OO,O00,000 than 300,000,000, as given by
Mr.. Three Crosses.
He also estimates Mile Lac Reservation
at 3OO,OOO,OOO.
Land owners may have over estimated in
some cases. but generally his estimates are
very nearly correct.
It must be remembered that there are
quite number of small owners whose
names do not appear in the list.
Mr.. Three Crosses puts down l.. Day &
Son at 9O,000,00O. That firm claims to own
from 250,000,000 to 3O0,O0O,O0O, and they
probably know about that.
81. L. Gordon is put down at 22,oOO,OOO.
He owns 75,000,O00. Henry F. Brown is put
down at 5O,OO0,OOO. He owns not far from
lO0000O00. Fletcher & Lorlng have 1OO,-
100000. The object of the article signed
'Iand Owner was to show the necessity
fora boom between Minneapolis and st.
Paul.
1t matters not whether there be few
millions more or less, the necessity for
boom exists just the same.
The following is list of pine lands. The
estimates in a majority of the cases having
been obtained from the owners themselves.

Yesterday afternoon two females peered
through the grating at the entrance of the
county Jail. One was fat and short and
dressed in black, while the other was tai,
and lean and had long hook nose, and was
attired IN shabby-genteel suit of drab
But what they both lacked in dress and
looks, they made up in gorgeous hats and
spit curls and other auxiliaries.
"Want to see Mr.. Stevens said the short
woman, with a beautiful smile. The door
was opened and the two women we're ushered
up to the cell of the notorious Stevens.
"Are you Mr.. Stevens?" said the tall wo
man in drab.

"Well, you amt as bad looking man az
1 thought you were,'' said the fat woman in
black.

~ impressed with his visitors.

shaped nose.
~ don't know, do you?'' replied Stevens.
well, you ought to be hung, you OUGHT
said the woman in black.
"Oh no." said the other, ''the penitentiary
for life is enough
The conversation was continued, and final.
ly Stevens found that his female visitors
were couple of married women who were
boarding at the Gardner House. The short
tat one went to take peep at Weaver, and.
during her absence, the tall lean one very
nearly began to make love to him. She
said that her first judgment was rather too
severe, and that he was pretty good sort OF
fellow after all. And then the hooked nose
and the drab dress suddenly became gener-
GUS and promised to bring some little dainties
for the wife murderer. Then the short wo-
man with the wicked eyes came up, and she.
too, had experienced change of heart. She
promised to come again, and hoped if the
murderer ever came out he would call at the
Gardner house and see her. In this way
Stevens succeeded in capturing both the
stout and the lean woman, and it has touched
his vanity to such an extent that he tells tho
story with considerable relish.

While preparing for the exhibition of the
President at St. Paul, the commissioner of
agriculture has not forgotten the develop
ment of his process whereby every farmer is
to become his own sugar maker. He is be-
ginning to receive returns from the rural
districts in which experiments have been
made with his "idee," and they are under
stood to be generally very encouraging. The
subject affords entertainment in great abun-
dance for the newspaper paragraphers, but
there is apparently enough of real utility in
it to leave the commissioner chance for the

more or less waste continually accumu-

to state that seven years ago it was

placing the broken panes. The play
grounds of our district schools are at

continually being broken unless pro-
tected by substantial blinds. Mr.. l.

ored blinds. and it is hoped the central

..rdsy teams commenced carrying peo-
ri. out 10 the scene of the day sports
=. the Seattle race track. At o'clock
,ha tain went out carrying the base
haIl clubs and quite number of others.
o. hslt.past two o'clock some 200 or
an people had assembled to witness
re chief attraction of the day the
horse race, in which the following
hor,es were entered: Black Hawk. by
Roht. Abrams; Hop Picker, by Morgan
O'Rrien. and Billy Gilmore, by James
oolsn. 1t was q race Of the best two
mt of three half mile heats. with
Sf,een minutes between each heat. At
twenty-five minutes to three, after the
usual amount of iockying, the horses
cos , GOOD send off on the first heat.
Tba three horses did not remain to-
oe.her long however, as Black Hawk
soon took the lead followed by Gilmore.
This position was not materially chang
ed during the heat and the black horse
n.ssed the score some twenty-five feet
ahead of Gilmore, while Hop Picker
;n., saved his distance by scratch.
On the second heat the horses got
fine start. but before running far the
rider OF the black gave him the steel.
and not being strong enough to hold
him he flew the track, running through
an orchard slightly hurting his rider
and scratching himself very severely
about the head, thus losing the
heat, and being declared distancei.
He did not again appear on the track.
On and on the sorrel and bay sped,
neck aud neck. excitement running
high. This was an exceedingly close
heat, and it was announced from the
Judges stand that Gilmore had won it
by only six inches. The third heat
proved as exciting as the second. but
Hop Picker kept little in advance of
the bay. winning the third heat by one
length. The fourth heat was repe-
titlon of the third. and Hop Picker
won both heat and race by two lengths,
giving his owner, Mr.. O'Brien, of
White River. the purse of one hundred
dollars. At the close of this race the
owners of the sorrel and bay horses
made the same race to be run in two
weeks, for fifty dollars side.
