The face OF this watch is precisely the same as
that OF the gOld watch and the movement is pre-
cisely the same. The difference between the
two watches is only n the case. The latter il
OF oxidized silver, acid eaten, very neat and
quaint.
The movement ST these matches is identical. it
Is the quick train, with straight line lever es-

permits accurate setting, and will not allow ths
hands to move out of position while setting. In
the sweep second movement the

American Timber.
WINNIPEG, Man. Feb. with reference
to the dispatch printed some days ago charg-
ing Canadians with wholesale stealing of
American timber In Minnesota, lumbermen
here claim that Minnesotans themselves are
the principal offenders. One of them says
Americans have been despoiling the north
ern Minnesota pine forests for five years and
selling the timber to Canadian mills, who
had always supposed that the Americans had
authority to cut the timber.
Buy Their Timber from Americans.
There are five sawmilS at Rat Portage
and two of these purchase timber cut in
Minnesota every year from one Binley, who
Is an American. The Keewatin Milling COM
pany also purchases timber annually from
another American whose name could not be
ascertained. The Ontario and Minnesota
Lumber company, of which Dennis Ryan,
the St Paul millionaire, is the head, has its
own limits in Minnesota aud gets its entire
supply of timber from that state Another
company has limits in Canadian territory
The total amount of Minnesota timber sawed
into lumber each year, including what is
sold by individual Americans to Canadian
mills, is ~, 000, 90 feet
