There was no use In conceal.
ing the fact that the farmers we're
handicapped by the prohibitory
tariff which the Americans had put
upon their products, and if something was
not done to relieve the farmers they would
soon become bankrupt. The United States
was their natural market, he said, and it
was in the interest of the whole country
that closer trade relations should prevail.
The farmers were as loyal as any other
men, but they had right to ask that jus.

THE LUMBER CUT.
Favorable Spring Follows y GSotl
Winter.

A Favorable Spring Follows y Osotl
Winter.
The weather has been very favorable
during the opening weeks Of spring, for
plenty Of water in the streams for driving,
says the Minneapolis Lumberman, the
thaw being gradual enough to prevent
foods, and the supply Of snow in the up
river country having been retained by the
cool temperature prevailing in sufficient
quantities to provide an abundance OF
water at the proper time. The surveyor
generals Office reports that about half Of
the scalers are down from the woods, and
the figures submitted for record by those
already here indicate that the winters cut
will quite materially exceed tho amount of
the general estimate. In fact it 10 be-
lieved that the log supply will be larger
than the most sanguiLe have anticipated,
and some of these have generally been
considered extravagant. All the logRers
have returned now, and the logging season
may be said to have terminated with this
week.
Driving is expected TO commence in
about ten days on tho streams. The ice il
all ont Of the river at Mime apolis, but
still remains firm in the tributaries. The
lakes will probably not break up before
May 10. The boom company is preparing
for business and will at once have crew
Of men at work driving piles and hanging
booms. They will have everything In
rsadiness to take care OF the drives ~ soon
as the ice goes out and expect to start the
rear boom at Brainerd in about two weeks.
II will probably be Nay before the
mills start up. The greater part OF the
week will be consumed in stringing booms
and getting things in readiness for turning
logs, and very few Of the mills will he in
shape to fire up before that time. Bnt
crews are being hired, contracts made and
everything got in readiness. There are
enough logs in the boom limits TO keep the
mills busy for month or more. aud the
old logs out Of the Rum river are within
easy distance and will come on the first
rise. The work OF repairing and enlareing
the capacity of the mills is being rapidly
pushed. Some OF the changes are quite
extensive.
