Eruument for Bonding.


IfsOme of our penny wise and pound
foolish wiseacres were to sit down
and figure on some of the actual re-
suits OF. the voting of the 100000
bonds they would pe somewhat i'm
pressed with the fact
1st-That the Pine Tree Lumber
Co. is now on a very conservative es-
innate paying out $250,OOO cold
cash every year, that at the end oil
thirty years (when these bonds ma
ture) they will have paid out seven
million five hundred thousand dol
lars; if they double Their capacity as
they promise (and heretofore their
promises have been always!kept to
the letter. they will have paid out
over fifteen millions of dollars right
here in this community.
2nd-Their tax this year amounts
to $500; if allowed at that figure
alone would amount to $4,000 in
thirty years but it is a fact that in a
very few years their taxes will
amount to SIS 900 per annum or $780,
900 in thirty years, nearly $5O,O0O
more than the principal ($100, ,0OO)
asked for.
3rd-One half million will he paid
out in constructing the railroad and
in repairs. operating etc, in the thirty
years other millions will be used.
Sash, door, box and other manu-
featuring interests that will snrely
come will in their united out put add
in the 80 years millions more.
5th-Other values, real estate etc,
will advance at corresponding rate
SO much that it would be entirely
with the bounds of truth to assert
that thirty millions of dollars are in
vOlved in the deal.

BASE BALL.
The Little Falls Club Has
Learned What Defeat is
1T Last.

Caesar had his Brutus, Charles l
his Cromwell, Napolean his Welling-
ton and the Little Falls base ball
club met it's Waterloo yesterday.
The club from the City of the Pines
defeated it by 4 score of 1S to 5. A
combination OF circumstances led to
the disaster. "There was trouble in
the choir,' and only about half of the
successful Little Falls club were pres
ent as a result of this trouble. Then
the boys who did play We're in very
poor condition. Morrison COM
menced to pitch good game but his
arm gave out in the fourth inning.
Goetz then tried pitching but his arm
which has been so often successful
would not obey the mandates of his
brain. The Brainerd club was
stronger as it had been reorganized,
but some do not cOncede this. Fol
lowing is the score by innings:
Little Falls. -O-O-O-1-5
Brainerd.. 2-0-0-5-4-6-O-1S
The clubs were manned as follows:
BRA1NERD.
White-s.s.
Watson-2d base.
Corbet-centre field.
Madden-1st base.
Fletch-3d base.
Howe-pitcher.

There are reports that the club has
disbanded and that Little Falls will
know it's club no more. This, how
ever, may not occur.

Chickens Plenty.

The numerous hunters who went
out yesterday had good success, and
hundreds of birds were brought
back in the evening. The fields were
crowded with hunters, and hereafter
their success will be poorer. 1t is

coveys left within ten miles of the

now be wilder, but the sport was

here
While business matters are still strin-
gent here, money matters are becoming
easier, and large sale of Government
bonds of over $4,000, which took place
last week, has enabled the Government
to resume work in the harbor. Large

also under way, and it now is the opinion
that settlement of the annexation ques-

Il am glad to get home again, where
can hear something about my country
and know what is going on. The isola-
ton down there is dreadful, and my case
was isolation among isolation. Things
were in such shape when l went there
that had to be very guarded. Every
body rushed at me to fill me full Of their

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
Habits of Birds of America studied by
an OrniGhoIogtst.

We are familiar with our feathered
Songsters, but as to their habits we are
still in the dark. We know they come
and go at stated periods. We know that
some make their flight at night for we
have heard their familiar call at all hours
of night. This is true of the red-headed
woodpecker and high flicker, wild geese
and other birds, whose strange call was
unfamiliar to US. proclaimed them strang
ers from some other region. After giving
this subject considerable attention and
observation, I have come to the conclu-
sion that birds do not all migrate to the
Gulf States, but birds which make a
home in our locality move south some de-
grees, but are replaced by birds of a
higher latitude; or, TO be understood bet
ter, our birds migrate a couple hundred
miles south, whilst the birds of British
America come here to winter, but what
birds of most, if not all, species can be
seen?
The winter larks are smaller than larks
that summer here, and so are the most of
birds that winter here. My opinion is
that birds of a higher latitude are harder
and move south just far enough to stand
the season, and that whilst there is a
general movement south, it is gradu
ated move, the harder replacing the less
hardy; the further south the less hardy
kinds, and so this goes on until semi
llOplCdl DlIuS mig Idl6 70 lIl6 tIOplCS, per-
haps, as they are sensitive to the least de-
gree of cold.
There seem to be some birds that come
north that are not natives here, but come
here to escape the hot weather OF the
south. The bobolink is one Of them; the
blue moc1ing bird is another. These
come. but don't stay long merely stop
Off to visit.
The reason I suspect that birds of
higher latitudes just move far enough
south to stand the winter is that when
only few days of warm weather occur
at any time in the winter the most spring
birds show themselves, which would be
impossible if they had migrated to the
Gulf States, for perhaps the warm spell
would be of so short duration that they
could not make their transmigration even
if their flight was as fleet as the wind.
pve visited the forest at different periods
in the winter season. when the sun shone
and the thermometer would indicate 40 TO
90 degrees above, and found the birds
plentiful, whilst the next day the mer-
curry indicated degrees below. and not a
bird was to be seen. They were housed
up in some warm retreat, a hole or hol-
low in tree, or some leafy brush pile

BOYS PROSPECTS IN THE NAVY.
How Apprentices Are Paid in Vessels
Owned by tho United States.

Wv ASu ny bAlG = HAAtAA SllLSSs
Boys of good character, who have no
physical defects, and who can read and
write fairly well, are admitted into the
navy between the ages of IA and Is years,
says a writer i'll Hdrpe1's Young People.
Between II and 10 years a boy must
measure feet 9 inches in hight, and
weigh not less than 20 pounds; between
10 and Is, feet IL inches, and SO pounds:
between 16 and II, 5 feet l inch, and 90
pounds; and between II and Is, feet
inches, and 100 pounds. They must serve
till the age Of q as boys and junior sea-
men, and after that age they rank as sea-
men or petty officers. They are now al
lowed a sum of $40 for outfit, a fact which
considerably enhances the advantages Of
the service. To discover the exact num-
ber of petty officers on board a fully
equipped ship is by no means an
easy task; but, at all events, the
number of these minor prizes is
encouragingly large, while still higher
up, as the final goal of the com
mon sailors aspirations, are the substan-
tial berths of the four warrant-oflicers-
held by the boatswain, the carpenter, the
gunner and the sailmaker-whose pay
and privileges are the same as those of
the Junior officers.
And now as to the rates of pay: The
pay of boys enlisted as third-class APP
prentices is - month, the next promo
tion, to second-class apprentice, brings
$40; the next, to first-class apprentice, Sll
a month. Further on we have second
class seamen apprentices. with $40
month, followed by first-class seamen
apprentices, with 81 a month, these two
grades corresponding respectively to
ordinary seainen and able seamen, or
simply seamen, whose pay is also $40 and
524 a month. 1t can thus be seen that a
hrst-class seaman apprentice and an able
seaman get each the respectable sum of
S2SS a year, which is Sl2S in excess of the
highest sum paid to a tirst-class seaman
in the British service. the only other
navy in the world worth consideration on
the score of pay and promotion. There is,
besides, the daily ration of thirty cents,
which runs through the ship from the
apprentice to the Commander, for, strange
as it may appear to some people,
Uncle Sam distributes just the same
fare to the officers as to the apprentice,
and, that, too, only when on sea duty.
There are no other allowances whatso-
ever made to the officers; they have to
furnish all their own mess equipments
and everything else.

Firing an En- zinc.

Did you ever notice fireman feeding
an engine? There is science about it
that is not understood by one not in the
business. There is way to throw in the
coal, and to empty the shovel and close
the furnace door at the same time that
requires nice calculation. The same
science will tell how many scoop-loads
are needed to send the hands on the
gauge to the proper figure. Deft handling

the man who stokes up one of the huge

gines haul freight and eat up coal as if it
were creased paper. The fireman is at
