q Their Bane,

Stockmen in the city from the
western district of the state, say
that something must be done to
stop the ravages of wolves and
coyotes, whose ravages are great,
especially on sheep. Some sheep
men have lost as much as % per
cent. of their fOcks and the "Var-
min" are increasing atsuch a rapid
rate as TO threaten further devasta-
ton. All that can be done
is being done to exterminate. but
nothing seems to have any influ-
ence. There are some hopes that
Mr.. j. NJ. Campbells idea of COM
municating and spreading mango
among these depridators may do
good, but there has not been time
enough yet to see how the expert
ment now being made will come
out.

IN FASTER COMPANY.
Texas Will Have Good Baseball Be
fore the Season Closes.

The San Antonio lovers Of base
ball may prepare for some first
class exhibitions Of the national
game from now until next fall.
The southern League has disband-
ed and plays are winding their
ways towards the Lone Star state.
Dallas is the first city to take
professionals in the team and has
secured George Blackburn who
was first seen in this city with the
WaXahachies in 81. Last season
he played with GALVESTON of the
Texas league and this season he
has been with Montgomery, Ala,
and until the league disbanded he
was with Augusta, Ga. Lee Daw-
kins, who caught for WaXachie,
and played third for Houston and
was with Memphis this season,
will catch for Dallas. Blackburn
and Dawkins comprise without
doubt, one of the best batteries
ever in Texas.
The next team to play in San
Antonio is the COrsicana nine,
which has dates for next Saturday
and Sunday. This team is said to
be very good one by those who
have seen some of the games.
The dates with the Eagle Pass
club have been cancelled, and Dal-
las will play here instead. This
team follows COrsicana, and will
play on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday.
The local team will also be
strengthened somewhat. Another
battery will probably be engaged.
There is also talk of charging the
grand stand.
Captain Dewey will take part in
the next series of games.

Good Work by Duerler's Boys

Yesterday afternoon at 4:1O
o'clock a fire alarm was turned in
from box No. 127. The depart
ment quickly responded and the
fire was found to be in the frame
building owned by W. P. Baugh
and occupied by w. H. Huston,
the assistant city attorney, at No.
321 Austin Street. The Sunset
Hose company was the first upon
the scene and attached a hose to
the fire plug at the corner of Aus
tin and Ninth streets. This was
the only stream it was foun d
necessary to use. The boys work
ed well and extinguished the
blaze in a few minutes. The fire
was caused by defective flue and
loss to the building will not
amount to over $50, while Mr.
Huston's loss is very little or moth
ing.

WEST SIDE FIRE.
The Barn of Thomas G. Gordon
Burned Together With
a Colt.

For three days in succession a fire
alarm has been given and the fire de-
department called out, but this is
the first fire that has occurred for a
long time. At about O'Clock p. IN.
the barn Of Thomas C. Gordon was
discovered to be on fire. The de-
partment came out promptly, but it
was some distance away and there
was some difficulty in getting proper
connection with the water ydrants.
The hose were not long enough to
reach the fire and in coupling on
more hose proper connection was.
not made, SO that while the force
was all right the ater did not prop
erly reach the burning building. The
barn was total loss besides a val
liable colt was burned and consider
able wood. The fire getting into a
large pile of the latter kept the de-
partment there for long time.
Some OF the west side people stated
today that they ought to have more
hydrants, thus giving them better
fire protection. The origin of the
fire is not definitely known. One re-
port is that it was set by boys who
were playing with matches. The
barn was insured in the Germania of
New York city for 800 with George
La Fond

Can't Kill Chickens Now.

The JOurnal-Press regrets that At
torney General H. W. Childs was in
correctly reported regarding the
game law by the st. Paul Dispatch
recently and further regrets that it
should have copied the erroneous in
terview into it's columns and given his
reported views circulation at least
among the local sportsmen. Anum-
ber OF them are said to have taken
advantage Of it and gone shooting
yesterday. Gen. Childs sets himself
right before the public in q letter
to w. Andrus, secretary Of the game
and fish commission, and published
in yesterdays St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The portion referring to prairie
chickens is as follows:
s'SecOnd-Prairie chickens, or
white-breasted orsharp-tailed grouse
shall not be killed during the follow
ing months: November, December,
January, February, March, April,
May, June July and August, but
may be killed during the remaining
months of the year,
It will thus be seen that the con-
structiOn which the attorney gen.
eral puts on the law is that the open
season is during the months of Sep
tember and October, the only time
when they may be legally shot.-St.

NEW OFFICE BUILDING.
OF the Pine Tree Lumber Company
Finished this Week and Oc.
cunied Next.

A company which saws lumber
enough in one season to six times
encircle the globe If it we're cut up in
to inch strips, to build a base ball
fence from here to San Francisco, or
to construct two or three cities the
size OF Little Falls, surely ought to
have a good office. And the Pine
Tree Lumber company has just COM
pleted an Office where they may in
dulge in such computations as these
or in what would be more pleasing
to them figure out the profits OF the
seasons work when the lumber is all
sold. Seventy million feet will be the
work of the season, and 7O,NO,OOO
multiplied by II to reduce it to strips
one inch square, equals 84O,0OO,OOO
teet, which divided by $3.50, the num-
Der of feet in a mile, equals about
4160. 900 miles which is more than six
times the distance around the globe.
The other statements will also prove.
The Office OF the Pine Tree Lumber
company, just completed, occupies a
slightly elevated position at the
north end of First street and over
looks the entire operations of the
plant ON both sides of the river and
up and down the river. This new
Office building will be ready for use
next week. 1t has dozen spacious
rooms including the paying teller's
room, cashiers room, general man.
ayers room, secretary's room. presi
dents room, pine land room, library,
billiard room, besides several rooms
which may be fitted up as parlors or
sleeping rooms. The general man.
ager, G. A. Weyerhauser and the Sec
retary Drew Musser may be found
most any time at their rooms or
somewhere on the grounds of the
plant. The president, Peter Musser,
will be in his Office once month at
least, though be will reside at Mus
catine, Iowa. Below the finish is
oak and in some rooms quite elabOr-
ate. Above it is pine and the natur-
al color OF the pine is preserved and
looks very fine. The pine kings
would not think for a minute of
daubing up the beautiful appearance
OF finished pine with paint. AS well
as being a model of utility the build
ing is a model in the beautiful SYM
metry OF it's proportions, but as it
has been before described no elabor-
ate description is now necessary.

painstaking agriculture by which the
Japanese make each cultivated acre pro-
duce abundant food for three persons.
In their own building the finest exhibit
of this is in the tea booths.
There is tradition that Jirunu Ten

the Japanese empire at Ise, and near
there an aged pioneer by chewing some
peculiar looking leaves to allay his thirst
discovered the virtues of the tea plant
Ise is still wonderful district for tea,
but that of the Shizuoka district is now
considered the finest quality. They pro-
duce most of the roots and grains grown
in the middle sections of this country
and make wonderful variety of jellies
from their native fruits.

The Proposed Extension Cam
- 80: not Now Well Be
Granted.

G. A. Lindbergh Of Little Falls,
representing certain Of the creditors
of the Little Falls Gas company,
which applied for and was granted a
receiver some time ago, appeared
before Judge Searle today and asked
for an order of the court giving the
assignee, Chester W. Brown, a period
of thirty days in which to sell the
plant for cash. The gas company
has lost money ever since it began
business and the creditors naturally
do not wish it to go on getting
deeper in the mire Of adversely, and
thereby decreasing their chances of
obtaining their due. Judge Searle
grated the request st. Cloud
Journal Press.
G. A. Lindbergh was in st. Paul
today, but his partner, +. A. Lind
bergh, was OF opinion that this order
would prevent the granting by the
city council Of the extension asked
[or by the assignee in which to COM
plete the conditions of the company's
franchise.
