county attorney as to what he

A,Great Industry.

Minneapolis Lumberman: Some
people have very erroneous idea OF
the extent of the lumber industry in
this country. According to the
census of 1890 the capital invested in
the lumber business by $4,000 establ-
ishmen1s was $7O0,0O000O. Over
600, 900 people are employed receiving
a total of $3.50, OOO,0OO each year.
This means that dependent upon the
lumber industry are probably over
3,OOO,NN people. During the first
year that lumber was put on the
free list there were 314 failures with
liabilities aggregating $5,997 900. and
and in 1895 the failures were 29S with
liabilities of $685., 900. The greatest
failures were in 1896 when they num-
bered 493 with total liabilities OF $780,
3l4,532. If the 81 tariff on lumber
permits these 3.000.0O. people to
make a better living than they have
been enjoying for the past three
years, and reduces the number Of
failures In the lumber business, 1t
will :doubtless have accomplished
that will go long ways
towards :compensat ting for q few
cents or dollars more each year that
the average farmer or other Ordin-
airy consumer of lumber has to pay
for what lumber he purchases.

Judge LOchren, of the United
States circuit court. has decided In
favor of Surveyor General Mullen in
his suit for scaling logs that were
cut in Wisconsin, but sorted in the
boom works at West Newton. in
: Wabasha county thus state. The
contest has been going on for nearly
four years, and will probably becon-
tined in the higher courts for years
to come. The real parties in interest
are the Weyerhaeuser syndicate. and
the state of Minnesota. although the
cases appear in court as Mullen
against certain Wisconsin logging
firms. The Weyerhaeuser's own the
boom works, and agreed to protect
the loggers from any Minnesota
costs for scaling. When Mullen
scaled the logs against the orders
of the owners) the owners refused to
pay the bills, Mullen seized the logs,
and the owners gave bonds and re-
covered them. As Mullen acted un-
der authority of the state laws, aud
by direction of the state officials, the
legislat ure reimbursed Mullen, took
an assignment of his bill against the
loggers, and the state attorney IL
conducting the case. The state is
successful 80 far, but the cases will

THE GAMBLERS MUST 60.
And Saloons Must Close Here
after Promptly at IL
O'clock.
BY ORDER Of The MAYOR.
Chief of Police Warning Of
tenders Today Of the
Mayors Edict.

Mayor Tanner has come to the
conclusion that some reforms were
necessary and has ordered the police
to see to it hereafter that all saloons
are closed promptly at II O'Clock
midnight, and also that all tinhorn
gamblers be given q warning tn
leave the city. These orders are In.
tended, it is said. for the purpose Of
stopping gambling in the city. The
mayor thought that by ordering
saloons to close Mt II to'clock it
would in a great measure stop the
gambling, as it is said to be all done
in saloons, but instead of closing
some have allowed gambling In
their places all night. -
Now, 1t is proposed to stop the
gambling by seeing that the order
to close at II O'Clock is strictly en-
forced.
The chief of police today visited all
saloons and gave the proprietors OF
each warning to close up ut the
hour stated and not to allow gam
bling in their places. Several per-
sons who were supposed to come
under the head Of gamblers were
also warned that their presence was
not desired in the city, and one or
two have needed by taking trains
out OF town. 1t Is claimed that the
gambling fraternity Of the city has
been increased considerably OF late.
and while to the ordinary observer
there has been but little change In
the last several months. the police
claim that the tough elements have
been more active in the last few
weeks.
1t is said, that the mayor 1s de-
termined to stop these violations OF
the law. and II the orders just issued
are not compiled with the offenders
will hear something drop.
