New York Tribune: Andrew Jackson
was born in 1857 he was nominated as
the ideal, of the Democratic party, and
was defeated for the presidency IN 1924.
He was then 81 years old, Four years
later he wac elected; four years after
that he was elected again. From the time
his second term of Office expired to the
day of his death, though private citizen
holding no office, and seeking none, he
was the most powerful man in American
politics. Mr.. Blaine may never be presi-
dent and may never be acandida,e again,

Much excitement prevails in Duluth
on account of recent explorations for
gold and silver in Lake county, on the
North Shore. Capitalists have pur-
chased over 10000 acres of mineral
lands in the northeastern part Of the
state in the pastfew months, and some
very rich discoveries have been mode
in gold and silver quartz. The near
ness of the mines to lake ports make
them very valuble.

The Duluth Tribune makes the fol-
lowing statement: 1T was more than
three weeks ago that John johnson a
laborer in the Dulu,h Lumber Com pany
mill, was injured by being struck on
the head by stick flying from the saw
The stick broke the akull just ovsr the
left eyebrow, and when DR.. Davis dressed
the wound he took out piece Of SIX u]l
about an inch and half long, exposing
the brain. For some time Johnson's
r ecovery was very doubtful, but he
improved and is now doing we'll. The
peculiarly Of the case lies in the fact
that the wound is not entirely healed yet
and that itappears as if it would not heal {;
for the wound reached the nasal cav
ity, aud now the patient actually breaths
through the whole in the skull that is
he can breath so when he chooses to.
He is now doing we'll, and promises to
fully recover except that he will always
have the choice of bleathng through
his nose, his mouth or the whole in his
forehead"

THE PRICE OF LOGS,

Each succeeding year has witnessed a
decrease in the prices of logs. In 1883
the lowest price paid was S6. This
S eason the lowest price was $42j per
thousand, the lowest ever known. The
actual expenditure in placing logs in the
market ranges from So to So per thousand
asd the average is about $3.50 so it:can be
easily seen that logging was conducted
at a loss last year, and with a prospect
that logs will sell for as little if not less
than they did this season the outlook is
far from being encouraging.

Minneapolis LumDerIuen.

Minneapolis lumbermen are not cut
ling as many logs in the pineries this
winter AS usual. The following article
form a recent issue Of the Minneapolis
Sournal gives some facts with regard to
the operations Of the leading firms of
that city:
The season will see very small log
cut in the woods, The firms who u.s.
ually have Quilted will cut only az much
as they can handle with their own. The
total cut will not be one halt what il
was last year. This is largely due to the
low pr ices oflogs and the large number
carried over from last year. N. P. Clark
who last year cut thirty millenfeet, car
ried over about eighteen million feet and
this year will cut about ten or twelve
million feet; Nelson Tenny & O.. cut
twelve million feet, carried over three
million, will cut this year about SIX
million feet; Farnham & Lovejoy cnt
last year over twenty million, carried
over five or six million, will
cut this year seven or eight
million. Eastman, Bovey & Co. will cut
ten million against fifteen million last
year having carried over ten or fifteen
million feet; l.. Day & Sons will cut
about eight million feet against eighteen
last year; Camp & Walker, who last year
cut eighteen millien and who carried
over six million, will not cut a log this
year. In addition to this there are
large number Of firms who in former
years have done logging business
exclusively, but who have given it up
altogether, owing to the low prices Of

hot one Is it is generally conceded thai,
the decision ofthis case will have greater

Watching closely the proceedings. The
court somewhat interieres with mining

Ed. TELLER:-For two weeks past
there has been an intimation in the papers
Of Northern Idaho indicating an uneasi-
ness On the part Of a few persons in re-
gard to our representation for the next
term in Congress. Thinking that it might
do no harm l take the liberty Of writing
what I believe to be our duty, under the
existing circumstances. For many years
we have been trying to bring about the
annexation of Northern Idaho to Wash
ington Territory and the admission Of
the territory thus united into the Union
as State. After these many years Of
labor with this object in view it is uunec-
sssary to explain the importance of this
plan. The benefit to be derived is at
once apparent to ALL At the last session
Of Congress bills were introduced 10 both
houses aud reported favorably BY thei,
respective committees incorporating all
that We have been asking for in this d.
rsetiou. Only for the fear that the ad.
mission Of . new State might give one
party some advantage over the other,
these bills would have undoubtedly passed
and We would have the privilege Of cast.
ing vote for presidential electors this
fall. All this is an advanced step in our
favor aud should be an incentive to unit
cd and renewed sc,ion in this coming
election. Whatever may be our politi-
cal preference as to representation We
should not overlook the ons object to b.
accomplished. The plan Of annexation
was carried BY large majority At the
lest election. If W DO not take united
stand regardless Of party our vote will BE-
divided, on partisan grounds, and the plan
Of annexation perverted. Our opponents
will then say that the voters themselves
do not favor annexation. Would il not
be we'll for " to thoroughly consider thi.
point before We give any encouragement
whatever to mere party candidates? II
is apparent 70 all that We can sccompl,h
much more BY acting unisedly in this
matter. After We have become State
then party lines can be drawn aud politi.
cal privileges be exercised without detri.
ment. But at the present time it seems
10 me that We cannot afford to sacrifice
the object for which we have been work.
ing, for mere party preference. "United
We stand divided We fall"
Yours truly, ANNEXATION.
