Cutting TImbers.

An expert on the subject of timber
says that cutting should be done 'Sdur-
ing the fall of the sap. When yopno
leaves and fruit are forming the san is
rising. As soon as the leaves are fnl-
ly formed and the fruit changes color
or in the case Of pines the cone be-
comes ripe, then is the time to com

such as pine, form by the emulation of
resin at their ends, ii film which pre-
vents the escape Of sap, hence il is best
to strip the bark from pine LOGS AS
soon as felled. In the case of hard
woods 1t is best to quarter the logs
through the center, as, if left entire
they are apt to split radially along the
medullary rays. In the case of hard
woods, if the size required will not adj

strip of the bark and smear the cut

FIRE AT DULUTH.

Duluth was visited by another dis
astrous fire last Wednesday morning.
One man persisted in the flames, and
the loss is $4,000 to $4,000 on build
lngs and contents. The fire started in
a building on Lake avenue, Mime
sofa Point, owned by Joseph Lloyd
and occupied by Pratt q Troyer as a
saloon and boarding house. Before
the fireman got to work the flames
reached the new residence of Capt.
Joseph Lloyd, built last spring, and
the mill furnishing house of A. b. Me
Lean x CO., and they were soon past
saving. Meantime several outhouses
and small buildings were DESTROYED.
In Pratt u Troyer,s boarding house
eight men were sleeping. Robert
Kennedy, carpenter who came from
Port Arthur two years ago, persisted
IN the flames. Kennedy had $50 or
5000 about his person the day before
the fire, and as it is known that he
easily awoke in case of a noise or ex-
element, good many look upon his
death as suspicious. y physician who
examined the body said it was impos-
sible from its shapelessness to tell
whether any violence had been used
or not. He thought not.

1t evidently pays to be the Pres
ident of such a railroad corporation as
the Northern Pacific. Mr.. President
Willard is now building the finest res
idence in America, totally eclipsing
the Vanderbilt mansion. A writerl de
scribing the structure says of it:
The general style is Italian Renna-
isance. The furniture will be especial
ly magnificent. That of the drawing
rooms will be upholstered, and of col
ors harmonizing with the decorations
the reddish brown tone predominating.
1t was designed by the architects who
executed the rooms. The other houses
will be finished in style becoming
their pretensions, although nothing
like this. The cost of the building,
unfinished, will be an even $1,000,
900. Of this amount the decorating
OF the drawing rooms cost $4,000;
the dining rooms $4,000; the hall
$4,000; and the music rooms, $40
900. As much more will be expended
on the work in the latter room. year
hence. To finish the interior of Mr..
Wizards house necessitates the ex-
penditure Of S250,000. The upper
floors are now about completed, and
the furniture is arriving. Mr.. Viii
lard 5 family will occupy them in two
or three weeks, and the remainded of
the house will be finished by midwin-
ter. Mr.. Willard has disposed of the
two houses in the main part of the
building to Messrs. Holmes q Adams.
the wealthy railroad lawyers, who will
occupy them. The structure, when
completed, will be the most magni-
fleet residence building in the coun-
try, tar surprising the Vanderbilt
houses. 1t is the first attempt made
to reproduce an Italian palace in
America, and the architects are de-
servedly proud of their success. Hen
ry Wizards house may well be said
to be palatiul. 1t is Il palace in fact.

Stealing Il Coal Dock.

Already the Duluth editors are try
ing to steal the new coal dock on
Connor's Point, the building of which
has just commenced by the st. Paul
4 Superior Coal Co. One of them gets
right down to figures and shows that
the new coal dock will be three miles
from the centre Of Duluth and $500
feet from Rices Point, and Just half
way between Duluth and Superior,
and that there will ben unnecessary
delay in this important enterprise. "

The Drlvelinss ola Fool.

We clip the following extract from
a long editorial of Ike nature, from
the pen of Mike Mcclure, editor of
the Duluth Times, which appeared in
its issue of Monday last, simply as a
sample of the brain capacity of that
bog trotter. As Artemus Ward would
say she is an amoosin' little kuss, y
for fool:
81. Lutte. Christie, editor of our Su-
perior namesake, says we do not like
him, and that is why we bulked the
items taken from his paper with those
taken from the Inter-Ocean.
j. Lutte Christie is mistaken We
love him. We fairly dote on him.
We dream Of him by night, and his
lean figure Is ever present to our wax
ing thoughts. During no hour Of the
day Is it absent from our mind. Were
he to turn up his toes to the daisies, or
finally sUccomb to the dyspepsia, there
would be Il blank in our heart as big
as the patch on small boys unmen-
tionables. This world without J. Lutte
Christie were barren waste, and a
wilderness as broad as the outlines of
Superior. Were he called TO play a
harp among the heavenly choirs, we
fear we could not remain behind
There would be nothing to live for if
J. Lutte. Christie were gone"

in the late political contest for the Of

pretty badly left. For revenge he at

thus: bradley. After this silly exhib-

I2G and ISS j street.
This is the Oldest produce and fruit
house in Sacramento. 1t was established
in 1852, and has been in active operation
ever since. 1t enjoys large trade through
out the Pacific coast, and also the Eastern
States. The house has had large increase
In trade area and volume of shipments dur
ing the past year over any previous season,
especially as to carload lots, thus pointing
directly to Sacramento as the coming CEN
trail exporting produce and fruit market of
the State There is no doubt of the fact
that the prospects of Sacramento IN this re-
specs are sure to continually improve, as
the advantages over San Francisco and
other points in the saving of freight
and in time in transit-the latter being
the most essential gain, while the former
directly benefits customers-are greatly in
favor of Sacramento, and are becoming
more and more appreciated by customers
The house of Gregory & Co. enjoys every
facility for the maintenance of its
extended and growing trade. 1t has
the great advantage of large capital, and
strictly adheres to its ever and invariable
rule of paying cash down for all produce
and fruit which it handles. Comments
upon the advantages OF buying strictly for
cash are certainly unnecessary, as it is an
established fact that precedence in low
prices and quality Of goods is more readily
obtained on that basis than upon any
other. The firm owns the buildings and
all property connected with the conduct of
the establishment, and transacts its bust
ness upon the most economical basis, the
benefits of which advantages the house
confers upon its customers, and this in
large degree accounts for its great success
and the rapid increase of its trade. The
house deals in all kinds of fruit and pro-
duce, such as potatoes, onions, vegetables,
beans, alfalfa, honey, eggs, poultry, etc.;
and all kinds of green and dried fruits in
their season. Particular and personal at
tention is given to the packing of fruit,
vegetables, etc. and the facilities of the
establishment are such that it can most
promptly fill all orders or demands with
the best qualities in the market, and at
lowest possible margins. The reputation
of the house for integrity and square deal
ing requires no commentator from the
press.
