The Drives.
From The Lumberman

From The Lumberman.
On the Platte river work is ex-
ceptionally well advanced. Gray &
Libby's drive of 100000 feet were
gotten out into Rice lake Tuesday.
From this point there is but q -
mile drive to the Mississippi. This
is the earliest drive of this size here
for 20 years. Mcleod & Dickinson's Is
drive is now being taken across
Platte lake, and these are all the
logs above Gravelville.
The H. c. Akeley Lumber CON-
pany's drive on the Crow Wing
reached the main river and the boom
limit Wednesday night. Jesse Jones
drive is now out OF the Prairie in the
Crow Wing. The drives OF C. A.
Smith & Co., on the Pine river, are
progressing nicely and those on the
Norway brook are now we'll into
the Pine. The Akeley drive on Bass
brook are now over Pokegama falls
just above Grand Rapids. Theother
drives OF this company report good
progress. E. w. Backus' Sugar
Lake is now out into the Mississippi,
fact that adverse prophecy said
could not he accomplished this
spring. The Northern Mill company
have half their logs towed across
Gull Lake and sluiced into Gull river.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
most serious menace to the lumber
trade of the northwest at the present
time is that the farmers will not be
able to get in their crops. There has
been an excessive rainfall all over the
west. The lumberman could stand
this with some complacency if they
were sure that the interests of the farm
ers would not be jeopardized. The
succession Of the rains mean that the
logs will come down, and that to get
them to mill will entail the minimum
Of cost. But it will be better for the
lumber trade if the logs remain on the
banks and in the bottom Of the
streams, if the agricultural conditions
are such that there is likely to be no
trade. II the logs are turned into
lumber the temptation will be pre-
sented to sell that lumber at q figure
below a living profit. What is need
ed now is a spell of warm clear wealth
er. Unless it comes within q couple
of weeks and stays, it will make very
little difference whether The laes como
lOr not.

A wild and woody time is reported
from st. Cloud Monday. Senator
Henry Keller, the Sauk Centre states
man, was in that city over Sunday,
and it is currently reported, though
no one who is acquainted with the
Hon. Henry can believe it, that he
accumulated quite a jag during Sat
urday evening. Sunday morning lie
had not worked off the surplus, and
meeting Mic. p. Kraemer, an alder
man, and Mic Webber, one of the
police force, both of whom were well
over the bay, engaged in an alterca-
ton. The result was the Hon. Henry
was minus his hat, which was held
in duress by Kraemer, the policeman
also taking a hand in the game, but
did not have "a club flush or any
thing of that sort. Patrolman John
Quinlivan then appeared and sent the
Hon. Henry to his hotel. Kraemer
began abusing the policeman, who
promptly locked his aldermanic Jag
let's" up. The affair has created quite
a sensation.

A Slick SWindler.,

A couple of weeks since the Trans
cript incidentally mentioned one
J. e. Shaver being in the city as q
representative OF Brown, Tracy, Il Co.
St. Paul. Shaver had been an. old
dispatcher at Brainerd and used to
visit Little Falls quite considerably.
We leave him, gentle reader, to the
Pioneer Press, which says: 49,
For some weeks past there. has
been received at the Chicago head
quarters OF the American Express
company money orders of the COM
pany which did not appear in the re-
ports of the local agents who appar-.
emily issued them. AS each instance
came to light and the local agent
who shold have issued the order was
called to account, and as regularly
denied all knowledge of it's existence,
there was one of the two things
true; either the local agents pretty
generally over the West and North
west were engaged in crooked work
or some one was engaged in forging
signatures ia the regular Anaasiean
Express company blank order. Yes
terday he procured Detective Dan
Ahern to arrest a man named J. w.
Shaver, who has been employed for
the past two weeks as u canvasser
bV the Northwestern agents of the
'Chicago Bank Check Perforator"
with headquarters in St. Paul, as
heing the guilty party. Shaver is
accused of having stolen the money
order book at Hammond. 1t is said
that the preculations in Illinois are
SO much more extensive than in Min
nesota and in Wisconsin that he will
be taken to Chicago and prosecuted
there. Requisition papers will he
applied for on Monday.
Shaver was seen at the county Jail
but declined to talk. He is appar-
emily thirty years old, neatly dress
ed and good-looking. He pleaded
with the newspaper men to keep the
matter out Of print, saying that the
request was not made on his own
account, but for his wife's sake.
Shaver belongs to a respectable FAM
lily and his parents are well known
residents OF prominent city OF Min
nesOta.

Elk River Star News: Judge D.
B. Searle, Of St. Cloud, was in town
on business Monday. The Judge is
still coy about discussing congression-
al nominations, and whether or no he
will consent to lead the Republican
hosts to victory in the Sixth district
is question not yet answered. Down
this way we all think the judge would
be the most popular candidate who
could be put in the field, and if he
should consent to be candidate the
lower end of the district would give
him a cordial support.

to Jamestown, Castleton, and that
section of country tributary to the

farmers are very backward with
their work this season, owing most
ly to the very wet weather. Last

dry weather was needed this spring
to help them out. Their crops are
now three weeks late, and greater
delay will result In very small crops
througout the state.

The Brainerd Journal is quite wild
in quoting a Little Falls citizen as
to the cost of making paper. No

wood, and those are the items that
determin the cost. The figures in
regard to those were supplied by the
Journal man, and we consider the
authority very poor.
