The log cut will be much less than even
the small cut intended, owing to the condi-
ton of the roads in the woods. The main
roads are all right, but the other roads will
not make hard, owing to the constant frost.
A short thawis needed to make good roads.
We are pleased to see that the city authori-
ties have at last set an example to our citi-
Zens by removing the snow and ice from the
sidewalk in front of the city hall, on Third

Tonight the city council will wrestle with
the cab ordinance, aud from the feeling Of
the members it is likely to pass In about the
same shape as introduced. The city charter
| amendments appear to make but little pro-
gress, owing to the city attorney being for
the past couple of weeks in Chicago, and if
something is not done soon the much needed
legislation will not be had this year, aud the
city will be left in an unenviable position.

the past eight months in the Office Of Register

ents reside. Miss Neidhardt has won
for herself many friends since comiug
TO the city, and those who bad
business in the office will miss the attentive
and eff lent lady clerk who waited so pleas
antly upon them. We wish her a pleasant
! journey aud a speedy return to Saltwater.

yesterday from two weeks trip among his
customers along the line of the Northern
Pacific railway. He reports trade as some
what duh, aud with the thermometer 80 , be-
low zero all the time, people appear to have
but little interest in anything except warm
stove. He reports great turmoil In Bis
marck over the capital imbroglio, and should
! the governor sanction its removal 10 Pierre,
as both houses will recomm mend, the city Of
/ Bismarck will be left stranded financially.
! Con looks as IL he had three square meals
daily, besides lunches, since he has been
away, and is as jolly as ever. II is a cold day
when w. S. Conrad gets left
! Yesterday morning Mr.. Geo. Mckenzie was
taken by Officer George Walters to the hospi-
| tai. George is one of the best known OF our
old residents, and years ago no one had
brighter prospects or greater business ability
| then he What be did not know Of the wood
craft of the St. Croix and its tributaries was
not worth knowing, aud as Judge of timber
and its value he had few equals. But his
! love for the Intoxicating cup was more than
the genial aud clear headed Scotchman could
stand, and he is now total wreck. An in
! jury he received some time ago BY falling
against a stove at the Sawyer house while
ash ep, completed the work going on for a
long time.

l pair the pontOou Of the bridge. The supports
have been found to be com pletely rotteo, and
