All the saw mills in this section are cutting all
the logs they can, and they have this summer
been particularly free from bad breaks or acct
dents, and, no doubt, at the end of the season,
the balance sheets will show goodly sum on the
right side.
Misses M. s. Shields, A, P. Shields, F. NJ
Barkett and N. E. Mclean, lady teachers from
Washington, d. c., are in the city rusticating.
They go to the several pleasurer resorts in this

where they can obtain rest and health. 40
One day last week Schulenburgs mill cut with
two gangs and two circulars in eleven hours
$4,000 feet of lumber, We call that pretty good
work, especially when the size of the logs are
taken into consideration. Under Mr.. Bergeron'

this season.

Bear lake fishing, and caught, we'll we will not
say how many, or with what kind of hook they
were caught, only this much, that some boys
had good strings when they got where he was,
and did not take any away. Perhaps they threw
them in the lake.
The steamer Penn Wright arrived yesterday
from Muscatine. 1t can be easily seen what are
the politics of her owner, Matt Clark. as she
floats the Cleveland and Hendricks colors, and is
the first to arrive with such pennant. She left
again last evening with raft Of logs for Rock
Island and Montrose
The steamer Nina arrived yesterday from
Lyons and will return as soon as the full pur-
chase of a raft of logs has been made. The pur-
chaser wanted to buy SO logs for 81, but Capt.
Grant could not see any money in that although
he offered to sell him 81 logs for SO, but then the
purchaser would not bite.
j. Quin's arm is getting on finely. He intends
to remain in the city for some time He was
much obliged to to those who got up the hand
some present for him, and duly appreciates this
thoughtfulness. Messrs. MoKusck and Ander
son were the main instrument in getting up the
the purse, ana every Que responded literally.
Double the amount could have been raised.
Political matters are exceedingly quiet in town
as neither Blaine and Logan or Tilden and
Hendrick club has yet been formed, land not even
Gilfllan boom. But most likely when they all
make a start, they will whoop her up. Some ex-
element should be got up, or the newspaper men
will have to hang up their fiddle as far as local
news is concerned. Get something up 80 as to
help us out.
This section, SO far, has been very fortunate
in escaping the storms that have ruined crops in
other sections, and, even in some cases, in this
state, The crops never looked better, and with
favorable weather the next three weeks will show
one of the largest crops ever cut in this section,
safely housed. The farmers wish good drying
weather, so that this bountiful harvest may be
gathered in
At the municipal court yesterday there were
very few cases. James Thompson was drunk for
which he was assessed 81 so or 2 days. He took
the latter. Peter Donehue, vagrant, was again
before the Judge. An old sentence was against
him, and he has now seventeen days to put in
and he will shun Saltwater in future Michael
marsh, of Lakeland, was fined S25 and cost for
selling liquor without license.
The owners of property at Mahtomedi were
yesterday before the county board of equaiza-
ton for the purpose of having the assessment on
the property lowered. The assessor valued the
lots that we're selling at 5000 at $50, while last
year they were valued at So. The plea offered
by Attorney Espy of st. Paul was that the prop
erty was not in the market to make profit to
any one, but that the moneys obtained were APP
piled for church purposes, in having a place at
that point for large religious gatherings The
board has not decided what to do in the matter,
as they are now on the equalization of personal
property.
The county equalization committee were in
session yesterday, equaizing the personal prop
erty tax between the several towns. 1t will be
impossible for them TO finish for several days as
the city has not yet made the returns TO the
county. and has until Thursday Of next week TO
do so. The city charter places the time Of max
ing the returns at later date than that provided
by the state. They should be made uniform
However, the commission will draw their per
diem bnt that Is a remuneration not at all
equivalent to the loss of business entailed, as
even those who are farmers could at this season
be more in pocket by harvesting their crops.
