registered at the Merchants hotel yes
terday. He is one of the prominent
lumbermen of the state, and has ex-
tenslve interests in various parts OF the
state.
"The cut this season will pro badly be
about 1,5OO,0O0,O0 900 for the entire state"
he said to a reporter for the GLOBE.
"This.will include the logs floated down
the ST. Croix river>to Saltwater and the
RATS which are brought down the north
shore to the city of Duluth. There are
large quantities of logs which are hung
up along the banks of some of the
streams, but there will be sufficient
quantity of snow this season to float
them all down. OF course, the water of
last spring brought down great many
of the logs which had been stranded
for two or three seasons. There are
a great many people who are of the
impression that the trees in Minnesota
will not last many years longer. L am
quite familiar with the amount of pine
in the state, and l do not think there
will be any trouble in this respect for
themembers of the present generation.
This kind OF talk has been going on for
some time. The ground which was gone
over several years ago-la been cut over
again and careful selection of the tim
Der made. The logging roads have been
cut into the Interior of the forests, and
new country is being opened up all of
the time. The present manner of log
ging is entirely different from anything
of the kind ever known ten years ago.
The logs are many of them hauled on
railroads to the banks of the larger
streams, so that there is little danger OF
them being hung up in the drive, and
steam is beginning to play an important
part in the getting out Of the logs. Some
of the camps have already been shut
down for the winter, and there will be
large cut this year."
1--WE had a good time up in ouI little
town the OF her day." said j. j. Willett,
of Fossten, Mimi. yesterday, shortly
after he had inscribed his name on the
register of the Ryan. eve didn't do a
thing to couple of lazy, greasy bucks
but give them a coating of tar and
feathers and ride them on rail out of
the place. They had been brought up
to give testimony against citizen who
was said to have sold them liquor, but
we wouldn't stand any such racket as
that. They we're couple of big, lazy
brutes, and were never known to work
for living. They have squaws, and
compel them to do all of the Work, and
they steal and thieve for living. They
came into the town, and got drunk in
some manner They were shouting
around what they were going to do to
the man who was said to have sold them
the whisky and we took them in charge.
We took them out behind livery sta
BILE, and, after tearing off their clothes,
we gave them coat of good hot tar.
My. but they yelled and hollered. we
then took a couple OF pillows rom
bed, and, after cutting the sacks open,
we put on the feathers. Those Indians
have to be taught lesson every once in
a while or there would be no living in
the country. They would murder every
one of the whites in their beds If they
got the chance, and then, after getting
drunk, would cut each other to pieces.
There have been some fears that they
would do something out of revenge,
but they are too cowardly. If they do
ANYTHING to the whites we Will wipe
them off the face of the earth. ave don't
stand much fooling from them, you can
bet. There are only a few of them
there. but they are more bother to the
people than thousand highwaymeu
would be.

Henry Miller, of Faribault, was tell
ing some friends in the lobby of the
Windsor yesterday about queer occur
renee in his town. He stated that the
fish in the river there were being smoth-
cred to death.
Fish cannot live without air." he
said, "more than man can. The ice
in the rivers has become so thick and so
strong that there are no airhOles and
the air in the water has become ex
hausted. This suffocates the fish as
effectualIy as though they were taken
out of the water and left to perish on
the land. A person can stand on the
bridge and look down into the water
and see the poor dead fish floating down
with the current under the ice. There
have been thousands of catfish i'll The
