Where Ties are Secured.

One of the biggest industries in
the northern part of Minnesota and
the Dakctas this winter will be the
cutting Of railroad ties. Preparatory
t. improving their tracks In the
spring and summer of 1900, several
of the big lines of the West and
Central West, within the last few
weeks have given orders for more
than 100000 ties. 100000 of
which will be cut in the timberland
of Minnesota. AT present the cut
tors are contracting for labor in
Chicago, st. Louis, Detroit and 9TH
er large cities.
Twice as many ties will be cut
this winter as there were last win
ter, and at least 900 tie cutters
will have to be employed steadily
for several months in the forests Of
northern Minnesota in order to turn
ont the 5000, 900 ties called for.
Aside from this number of men,
hundreds Of teamsters and other
employees will be required. Within
the last few months the price Of ties
has advanced l5 and 20 per cent.
An experienced tie maker can turn
out thirty five ties day, and this
winter the most capable will receive
10 cents Tor every tie turned out.
In their great desire to get the
ties this year the railroads are much
less particular as to the quality Of
tie timber than they have ever
been before. Most Of the big roads
now are equipped with means for
treating their ties to a preservative
before putting them under the rails.

Ahead in Sailing or Fighting.

The navy is quite as much inter
ested in the big ocean race which is
now in progress from this country
to the Philippines as in any otl'er
subject which is supposed to eneross
the attention of our national defend
ers afioat. The struggle between
the Brooklyn and the New Orleans,
which are fairly well matched as to
registered speed, is exciting the
most curiosity.
The Brooklyn has been rated as
one OF the American navy's flyers,
and while the New Orleans has been
known to experts as very fast ves-
sci, the general public has moi been
educated up to the realization of her
true ability to get through the briny
in a rush. Consequently the news
that the New Orleans has rapidly
gained on her larger and heavier
rival, and has actually reached Col
ombo right behind her though con-
siderably in the rear, not long since,
will created some surprise and af-
ford an opportunity for speculation
"a to the rest of the contest.
One thing is proven by this COM
petition and by other long voyages
which American fighting craft have
made, and that is, that the ships
built for the glorifcation of Ameri-
naval valor are singularly staunch
and serviceable institutions. To be
sure, the New Orleans is foreign
constructed boat, but she has been
amply Americanized, and an Amer
lean crew is aboard of her, which
latter fact makes all the difference
in the world. 1t still appears,
whether it comes to fighting or rests
merely on a question Of seaman.

show his foreign cousin points In
abundance and then conjure up e
few extra ones for the preservation
OF his own martins superiority
