THE NEXT POSTMASTER,
No Effort Made by Republicans
to Secure Medved's RI
o... Removal.

It seems tn he generally acceptet
as a fact that Dura Corbin. OF Swal
River town. will be appointed post
master Of Little Falls. The Tran
script believes the appointment is
good one, and heartily endorses 1t
But the Herald INDUCES in comment'
on the matter for which there is ab
solutely no founda ton In fact or re
liable rumOr. That paper states
that certain Republicans endeavor
ed to have Mr.. Medved removed be
fore the expiration Ct his time. ;
While the community generally will
be pleased to have a change in post
masters. there is absolutely no
ground for g. sta tement tina t kepubli.
cans tried to get him removed. Then
the Herald notes the fact that Mr.
Corbin ia not a resident Of Little
Falls, and says that "there are not
wanting people who think 1t strange
that the Republicans have to go out
O! the city to select postmaster"
From point of locality Mr.. Corbin
was al much entitled to considera-
ton az an applicant for the office. as
though he lived in the Buchanan
hotel. where the postoffice ia locat-
ed. Mr.. Corbin has been a resident
of the district supplied by this post
Office for about twenty-five years,
and has received his mail through
this Office for that time.
Through local political conditions
the Little Falls people are able to
capture nearly all county offices. as
an outside candidate can seldom. IN
either party. hold his party vote in
the city against a local candidate.
The outside country supplies the
bulk Of the vote for both parties. yet
secure but very few of the offices.
The Republicans Of the city evident
ly decided to practically unite In an
effort to give the postof1ce to a
resident OF the country. as an evid-
ence that the party In the city did
not intend to hog" everything.
We believe it was proper recoRni.
ton of the rights of the outside dis
tricts. While it would be very hard.
generally to elect an outside man to
u county Office, 1t was apparently
very easy to place the postoftice In
the control of a worthy Republican
not a resident of the county seat.

1,rs Logs Is d Cut.

The Duluth News Tribune Of Aug.
& has interviews with alarga number
III Duluth lumbermen. and .all agree
that the log cut this winter will be
much larger than last year. They
all expect q good business next sea-
son.
William Sauntry, the saltwater
lumbsrman. says that the lumber
trade has not looked so we'll since
the panic az 1t does now. The vol
ume Of the lumber trade the past
two months, he says, has been the
largest that he ever saw. During
une and July more lumber had gone
into the DakOtas than during any
previous two months in the history
OF that section. MIR. Sauntry says
that lum bermen will, get more for
their product this fall. He has not
offered any lumber tor, sale for the
past IL days, and he says he knows
of other men who are holding their
lumber for better prices. 1.-The SUR
plus Of logs will be wiped out this
season." said Mr.. Sauntry, and
there will be n good winters work
done In the woods the coming win
ter. 1t looks now IA II 1t would be
one of the liveliest winters in the
history of this section. look for
a good summer next year, not only
in the lumber business but in all
lines of business, for there Is no dis
counting the fact that we are enter
ing on an era of better times in
general. Securities that one could
not realize on a year ago may he
realized on today. The banks have
been making NO money, and now that
there appears to be something OF a
permanent basis for business, money
is going out steadily looking for pro.
fitable Investments. This big crop,
which IL almost assured, will be q
powerful factor in bringing about
more satisfactory times, II nothing |
happens to it."

AGAINST RESERVOIRS.
A Grand Rapids Paper Says
the Mississippi Reservoirs
Are a Damage.

The Grand Rapids uerald-RevieW
contains a vigorous attack on thu
upper Mississippi reservoirs. II
claims that "back OF the two dams
In this county there is destroyed
every year $4,000 acres of land upor
which would now be cut and market
ed yearly more than 10000 tons o.
hay worth $40 to $l5 per ton" II
also claims that the lumbermen re
ceive little or no consideration when
water Is needed for dri ling logs, that
the way the water ia managed makes
it detrimental rather than otherwise
to the numbering interests and that
the system is of:very little value tc
either navigation or to the milling
interests OF the river. The few
salaried officers of the system rear
the only substantial benefit there
from. 49,
Mr.. Kiley's views are supported by
many of those who are interested ir
numbering especially where the ex
pense Of getting hay cuts consider
able figure In the operations. Some
of the business men here treat thu
matter lightly. say the meadows arr
not totally destroyed and suggest
that the dam experiments should bt
carried forward upon the plans o
their projectors. They intimate that
large sums Of money are to be ex
pended In the near failure upon per
fecting the system, and that when II
Is more complete it will work more
satisfactorily. Be this as 1t may, c
great deal Of meadow land has gon.
to ruin this wet season, ard tn.
lumbermen feel the loss from thi.
source, and the troubles they hav.
had through having the manage
ment of the water in the contro
of those who are located hundreds
OF miles from the scene of opera
tons. Whether an appeal tt
the secretary of war would better
the conditions is q question that il
worthy of consideration.

NnNni DcscrtIuns In Port.

Few rCnpl" have any idea of the
number OF dCsrrtions from warships
when they cAtcr port, remarked a
we'll known naval officer who is sta
toned IN this city. Sometimes as
high a. 20 or 80 men take French
leave, and, despite the offer of $40
reward for the arrest of each man,
they are seldom apprehended. There
does not exist dissatisfaction on
board amy of the ships, and the
fault lies in the fact that men of
foreign birth. without recommends.
ton, have been allowed to enter the
navy. When these men receive a
month pay, they are granted shore
leave and are not seen again. This
Is only the lower class, as some of
