A Striking Example.
rom the Duluth News Tribune.

From the Duluth News Tribune.
Speaking about opportunities for
success in life," said prominent
lumber broker, "why, the country
is full of them and if he is at the
foot of the ladder he will climb. In
the West we have many examples OF
men who from q humble beginning
have acquired great wealth and
distinction. One of the most strik-
ing examples of such men is Frederick
Weyerhauser, the multi-millionaire
lumberman. If he is not a lumber
king never saw one. never heard
much about him till / came out
West. In the East he is not as
widely knO WI as one would suppose.
When I first came to Duluth 1 was
talking about big lumbermen,
lumber kings, when someone sug-
gested Mr.. Weyerhauser's name. I
asked for information ABOUT him
and was told that he was a lumber.
man who cut annually about 1,20O,-
O0O, 900 feet of lumber. After / had
recovered from the shock new light
dawned upon me regarding this
gentleman and the figures mentioned
at that time are small compared to
what they are at present. In one vi
Mr.. Weyerhauscr's yards l saw piled
not very long ago. 60.00O,0OO feet OF
lumber. And this was only one Of
many yards owned by this lumber
man. Thirty-five years ago Fred
erick Weyerhauser was working at
Eau Claire, Wis.,, for the going wages
for common labor which was
probably $3.50 per day. 1t is need
less to say he was saving or he
would not have obtained the start
he did. He made his first good
stake, however, in saving lumber on
contract. Mr.. Weyerhauser invested
his money as fast as he :made it in
pine lands and sawmill machinery
and today he is one Of the richest
men in this country,

The Weekly Bulletin.

The Minnesota crop bulletin for
the past week says that the week
has been wet and warm. All seed IN
the ground terminates rapidly but
to insure good stOOling cooler
weather IS needed. But little prog.
ress has been made in seeding or
blowing, and hut one report men.
tiOns any corn as having been
planted. In the Red river valley no
seeding to amount to anything has
been done north Of CrOUkstOn. and
the fields are. very wet and muddy.
In the central section OF the state
seeding is about half done, gardening
has begun and the crops already In
are making rapid growth; In the
south third wheat, oats and barley
are mostly in, some flax sOwn and
potatoes planted, while preparing
the land for corn is general. All re-
ports regarding fruit are favorable.
the buds are swelling and early
plums are blossomtng abundantly.
Cattle are generally on pasture in
the south portion of the state, and
are able to get fair living on the
bottom lands in the central portion,
but in the extreme north the grass
has only just started. The damaging
features of the week were in the
heavv rains in the Red river valley
which have delayed seeding SO that
it is feared that there will not be
time enough to finish this work un-
til it is too late to insure maturity.

OUR GRANITE QUARRY
Stone Is Found in Morrison
County That Equals the
Vermont Granite.

"a
For some time past parties from
st. Cloud anu Mime npniis hay..heen
making Investigations III regard to
the stone, quarry On me farnlnf Mic
Meyer. near Fish lake.si.; tie town
Of Agram. s5. .ss
The result Is that ih,Nqnarly has
been leased by John Nc. a,,lty and
two brothers named kuD'"te OF
st. uOn,l.
MIR. McCauley l,as been cut 81 The
quarry for some tine and has been
engaged III gettingnu' y carload OF
granite blocks. which he y now nay
ing hauled by team i;'..ln tit qnurry
for the purpose Of shipping 1T to st.
Cloud, where it win be dressed and
polished for monument purposes.
In speaking to MIR. McCauley. the
lessee, and u gentleman from Mime
apOlis. VIII, Is III the monument
business, and was here for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining the quality uf
the stone AMI the cost 1t would in
vOlve in getting u quantity to ship
to Minneapolis, hOth gentlemen
stated that for monuments and all
decorative purposes this granite far
excelled anything they had heard Of
or seen IN the state, and In their
opinion was equal t" the celebrated
Vermont granite which Ia used in
nearly all the monument work Of
both St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Mr.. McCauley, although he has
leased the quarry, states THAI SO far
his work has been nearly all expert
mental. In regard to the quality OF
the stone, and the quantity. he says.
it has been conclnsively established
by himself and other men who have
been investigating, that in quality it
cannot be- exrelled and the quantity
is immense.
What they are now endeavOring
to determine Ia whether it can be
handled, lowing to It's being located
twelve miles from a railroad). at a
profit that would warrant them
putting in machinery for the purpose
of dressing. p,'lishingand handlingit.
The carload which Ia now being
hauled to, this city, will, after it il
treated at st. Cloud, be shipped to
several different monument houses
in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
While the exceeding fine qunlity OF
the stone makes 1t particularly vnln-
able Tor monument and decorative
work, Mr.. McCauley says it is also
good for any purpose for which
granite is used 1t il Of a grey color
and would make u handsome build
ing stone. and Mr.. McCauley yester-
day WAS negotiating with the
Interstate Milling company to full
nish them stone for their new flour
mill on the West side.
1t II sincerely hoped by the citizens
OF this pace that the parties who
are now investigating the expense OF
handling the stone will find 1T profit
atle, even at it's great distance from
railroad fucilities, for it would estab-
lish one OF the greatest and most
beneficial Industries OF the state here.
However. now that there Is no
doubt about the quality being the
best. and the quantity sufficient.
should these parties nDt be able to
handle it with the present facilities,
it will not h" allowed to remain
undevcIOped. for in the opinion OF
leading stone experts this granite,
with proper means OF handling,
could he made to take the place OF
the Vermont granite for all fine
work not only throughout this state,

Wonderful Results of Aseptic

We learn the operation on the skull of Paul Noriegs 10 releive his partial psrslysis of speech was far more diff cult and delicate than fret supposed. A portion oi the skull was removed which was done ty making thre- vi.- culer openings. joined together ard the partitions sswedthrou.H making an apera,ure of about one aud ha.t inches in diameter, corresponding to the portion of the brain where ,he speech centers affected were located.
 Instead of finding the cause entirely due to . bone pressure on the brain IL was also discovered by the prAc,iced cue of the physicians that a brain pressure wss also a direct source oi the trouble, however resultant from the come cause that of being thrown from . horse-the concussion of the fall.
 Being prepared for such eIigencie- the skilled gentlemen explored the brain to 6 depth of nearly four inches, in different directions, and removed a quantity of serum that had acca nlat- ed thus sffording instant reliei.
 The delicscy Of the operation can best be understood when it is known ,hAt ID the probing among the vital mass ot brains each of the thoussnde Of tiny organs performing some iunc- ton and each being a center of some nerve in the anatomy, should have pisrc.d by the probe would mean in- stAnt paralysis of that nerve and pro bsble death.
