Minneapolis Lumberman: The
movement Of lumber is falling OF
steadily from weeksto week, the de-
cline In the shipments being more
than three-quarters Of million feet.
But the shipments are still more
than they were during the cor.
responding period year ago. The
soft weather Of the week has not
aided the demand nor the movement,
roads being generally soft and more
less impossible because Of 1t. Re-
ports from other points In the
territory tributary to this market
show that the local movement OF
lumber has been impeded by tho soft
weather. This has also been q detri-
ment to logging in the white pine
territory, the Ice roads being broken
down during the warmer days OF
the week. The bottoms were not
deeply frozen and hitherto the very
cold weather was the only security
Of the roads. However, this IL not
giving the lumbermen any anxious
thought. There IL yet time for
plenty vi logs. ...

CLEMENT WAS UNPATRIOTIC. The Driver of a Delivery Wagon Properly Punished for Uncom-
 plimentary Remarks.

J. Clement, a driver of a delivery wagon, made some uncomplimentary remarks re- gardfng the Minnesota troops as they were marching up Market street yester- day afternoon on their way to camp. He had said very little when he was cau- ttoned to desst by some of the bystand- CTS. but 1t had little effect in closing off his flow of disparaging statements. A soldier is only dub" he said in reply to the advice given him. He had hardly got the words out of his mouth when he was dragged off the seat of his wagon and sent hurtling through the air by the patriots who were incensed by his state rnent. The unpatriotic driver was buff feted about like shuttlecock for a few minutes, and he was physical wreck when he was allowed to escape.
 Clement was driving delivery wagon for George Swain, who had contract to deliver the goods of B. F. Lucke, and the shoe dealers name was painted on the side of the wagon Clement was driving. Lucke was a witness of the incident, and he immediately notified Swain that no man of the stamp of Clement could drive a wagon that carried any of his. goods. Clement was promptly discharged and a more patriotic man put in his place.
