Pioneer Press, Minneapolis Depart
ment: The saw mills have not ex-
perienced the rushing operations an-
ticipated at the opening Of theseason.
The short log supply last week caused
several of the mills to shut down from
one to three days. Night crews are
lying idle, and few mills have at
tempted to make large days record
Rains in the upper country the past
three or four days have somewhat bet
tered the situation. The vanguard
of the Rum river drive has also put
in all appearance. Next week, it is
hoped, all mills will be running full
swing.

The ease with which a man pos
sessed Of wealth can, if he only will,
take life, was illustrated last night.
A gentleman, who with a brother, is
rated at about a million and q half
and who had made a business trip
to Little Falls during the day wished
to get to st. Paul the next morning.
Instead of retiring at the hotel and
rising betimcs to take the 3 O'Clock
a. NJ. train as your working man
would have done, the gentleman in
question who has accumulated his
"stuff" in the past few years took
the train west meeting the East
bound train about ~ o'clock and
taking the sleeper to St. Paul, thus
retiring at about the usual time and
having a good nights rest. Doodle
may be the root OF all evil, but it is
nevertheless a most convenient COM

A special telegram from Melrose,
this state, to the Minneapolis Tribune
under date of May 6, says:
A riotious forcible entry was effect
ed here yesterday morning that
threatens to grow into a serious feud.
A gang of armed men broke into the
mill of Edwin Clark, and at the point
of revolvers drove the watchman and
proprietor's son off the premisis. The
trouble grew out of some legal CON-
plication involving the rightful own
ership of the mill. The case is now
in the supreme court on appeal.

The funeral of Maj. A. Camp took
place at Minnetonka Beach Saturday
afternoon, the following representa-
tive business men being pallbearers:
s. s. Hill, s. w. Farnham. R. B.
Langdon, DR.. J. H. Murphy, J. F. R.
Foss, T. B. Walker. Mr.. +. B. WAL
ker, who for many years was Mr..
Camps partner in business has the
following to say Of him as a gentle
man and business man:
"He performed good service for his
state and the, country during the In
dian war and the battles with the
Southern confederacy. He was rigid
in his dicipllne, positive and decisive
in his judgment, upright and reliable
in his engagements, strongly attached
to his friends, and, although rigid and
sometimes rough in his speech, he
was never vindictive. He was quick
and decidedin all his methods, and
was perhaps as reliable and prompt
a lumberman as any in the North
west. He was very honorable and fair
in all his business transactions, and
there is perhaps not . man Of all his
old associates in Minneapolis or Min
nesota who can with any Justice feel
that Major Camp has ever acted un-
fairly or dishonesty with then. /
cheerfully bear testimony that in al
the years We we're together in busi-
nees not one unfair Transaction can
be placedto his credit, and now, at the
termination Of bis earthly journey he
goes with the warmest friendship, es-
teem and goodwill Of many Of the older
reeidents. Of his old friends, who have
known him best for many wears. 8

The Independent Oil company,

Standard, made a break in the oil
last winter which, while it
may have been good thing for the

A carload of oil containing thirty

less than it cost them, making a total

A School Row.

|
District No:4, the school district:
adjoining the Little Falls independ-
ent district on the south, is in the
midst of a school: row. It. may he
remembered that several weeks ago
the district held a meeting and voted
to remove the school building q dis
tance OF about one and a half miles
from it's present location. This by
no means finally settled the matter
for another meeting was called Sat-
urday evening to rescind the action
Of the previous meeting. It was O
gathering Of all the voters in the dis
trict and by no means a peaceable
one. "A vote was taken and the pre-
viOus action endorsed by a vote of q
to 20. A canvass of the voters pres
ent showed only 80 present with u
total vote cast of al. Another bal
lot was then taken with a majority
to hold the school house where it
was. Then indeed did the caldron
boil and a free fight was imminent;
but it finally settled down to two of
the voters who after a heated nstic
within went outside to-
settle the matter. A fiereeencounter
took place there and the end. OF the
difficulty is not yet. 1t is most tprob-
able that a division of the district
will have to be made to preserve
what peace there is left. Such dis
as this have a very demor-
alizing effect upon the work of a
school and it is hoped that the mat
ter may be satisfactorily adjusted.

An effort is being made to make q
scandal out of the retirement ofP B.
Schuler as Indian agent at the White
Earth reservation and the apparent
friction which has existed between
MIR. Schular and Commissioner Hall,
who has been particularly charged
with the duty of removing the Indi-
ans from the Mile Lac reservation to
the White Earth reservation. The
suit brought to quiet the title to the
Mile Lac reservation lands il made
the pretext upon which to hang the
insinuation that the whole trouble
grows out Of an attempt to rob
someone OF these same lands, and
that the "outs" have stood in the
way OF this scheme. The lumber
barons, of course, are grouped in the
background as the thieves. 1t has
been known for years that the Mile
Lac reservation timber lands had
identified upon with soldiers "addi-
tionals.' A great many of the lands
have been settled upon by actual set
tiers. The lumber companies that
purchased these additionals, or the
rights Of the filers with these addi-
tionals, have done so because they
had reason to believe that the lands
could he legally and honestly ac-
quired IN that way. They invested
their money with that understand
ing. The settlers have gone on their
lands with the same understanding.
If the government has made differ
ent bargain with the Indians than
was originally contemplated, it is for
the United States government to rec-
tify the apparent conflict. A con-
tract with white man is as good as
q contract with an 1ndian-and the
contract first made is the one which
is likely to stand. 1t will hardly do
to make the lumbermen who have
purchased, or may purchase, any of
the valuable timber on the Indian reg
ervations the scape-goats of all the
petty political scandals and quarrels
which develop at reservation
agencies. These scandals and quar-
rels are all too frequent and are the
result Of the spojls system which pre-
walls in our civil service. Fortunate
~ the general government has final
ly recognized that no men are 80 we'll
fitted to handle the Indian problem
as the army officers.

A Bright Boys Conundrum.

Johnny Williams is bright little
boy of five and lives up town. The
other morning, during a siege of rain,
Johnny could not go out to play, but
several little companions came to see
him One of the boys had been to
Sunday school, and was relating what
he had heard about how the world was
made Johnny's mother stole silently
to the door of the dining room, in
which the little fellows were, and lis
tened.
"God made the world in just six
days, and he didn't have nothin' to
make it with" she heard the small
speaker say.
The others were silent for moment.
Then Johnny spoke up; "And wasn't
there any world at all? Nothin' no
wherep" he asked
mo, there just wasn't nothin' at all.
WELL" said Johnny after a pause,
what did God stand on while he was
at work?'
And this poser closed the discussion.

An Island Where No Females Live.

There is one place in the world,
namely, the peninsula of Athos, in the
Hgean sea, in European Turkey, where
women are unknown. The population,
about 5000, all monks, form kind Of
monastie republic, consisting Of twenty
large monasteries, besides numerous
hermitages and chapels. The whole
community is governed by an admins
trative body of four presidents, one
styled First Man of Athos," and
representative body called the holy
synod, consisting of twenty members,
one from each monastery, They enjoy
complete autonomy, subject to paying
the Turkish government an annual
tribute of about 93, 500.
The monks follow the rule of st.
Basil and lead an ascetic life, restrict
ing their diet to herbs, fruits and fish.
They are employed in agriculture, gar
dening, the care of bees and the manu-
facture of amulets, images, crucif1xes
and wooden articles of furniture, which
they sell, while they also reap profits
from the numerous visits of pilgrims.
No female, even of the lower animals,
is permitted to enter the peninsula.
