"Advertising Pays. "

An anomaly has been discovered in the
liquor question. A restaurant keeper has
brought suit against prominent Good Tenn
plar for stating in public speech that the
former sold liquor at his place of business,
claiming that the statement damaged his
business. If, as it is so often claimed, such
business cannot be successfully carried on
without selling liquor, how can an advertise
ment like this be an injury? Piscataquis

The Minneapolis Lumberman

The Minneapolis Lumberman
promptly defends the Boom
company from the statement
made by the Transcript that the
rainfall during the past season
had been controlled in the in.
terests of the Boom company.
It may be hard to prove just
how the company exerted it's
pull, but it is plain that rains
always came just when they
we're most valuable to the log
drivers. Of course, there was
sometimes too much water for
the mill owners, but the Boom
company never before sent logs
down the Mississippi socheaply.
We still claim that this corpor-
alton has been controlling the
weather for six months, and the
feeble denial of the Lumberman
cannot be taken seriously.

Minneapolis Lumberman:

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
lumber manufacturers of this city
are getting everything their way
this season. The advance in the
price of coal has had the effect OF
creating a boom in cheap steam fuel
from mill refuse. A year ago the
price OF Youghiogheny coal, which ia
counted the standard in price OF
steam fuels, was $2.65. Today it is
$3.50. This advance as in all other
steam Goals has given the owners OF
sawdust, edgings, ground mill refuse
and the like the power to put up
their figures. Sawdust that ninety
days ago was selling at 40 cents a
ton Is worth 81 now. Edgings that
sold at $1.40 to $3.50 a year ago are
now worth 1926. and as two cords
OF edgings are equivalent to one ton
u coal this is not above a coal basis.
Gang wood for household use that
was selling through the warm
weather at Is cents a cord at the
plling ground Is advanced to 81. The
Backus-Brooks co. has in pile not
less than 10000 cords of mill refuse.
1t is now preparing a steam engine
and a gang circular saw, something
like an edger, to cut this up during
the winter into finer fuel and sell it
to steam generating plants. They
consider that this will make the fuel
worth $1.35 to $3.50 per cord. They
are seriously considering saving up
the gang wood they have hand piled
during the saving season.

A RECORD LUMBER CUT.
Minneapolis Mills Will Saw Over soc, 600,
600 Feet of Lumber
This Year.

From the St. Paul Globe:
The Minneapolis lumbermen, who
went up the river a few days ago to
look after the condition of their logs.
returned yesterday afternoon. All
the logs and booms were found in
good condition. and the lumbermen
are of the opinion that they will lie
safely brought down to the mills
next spring unless there is an I'M
usually heavy freshet.
b, F. Nelson said that they found
10000, 900 feet OF logs in the river be.
tween Brainerd and st. Cloud. A
large number OF logs were, found
below st. Cloud. There are enough
logs below Brainerd to insure a con-
tinuous run for the mills next apring
until the new logs can be brought
down. The party came down the
river as far as possible by boat. and
made a thorough inspection Of the
conditions along the way. Logs are
now being hauled to the river, and,
will continue to be hauled all win ter.
The lumbermen will carry over the
winter many more logs than they
did last year, notwithstanding the
fact that a great many more logs
have been sawed this season than
during any preceding. The cut in
the woods last winter was consider
ably larger than that of previous
seasons. and as a. result all danger of
shortage has been avoided.
The lumbermen are making ur-
usual preparations for the coming
winters work in the woods, and
estimate that 30 per cent more logs
will be cut than last year.
The increase will make the tota
amount about 900, 600, 900 feet. The
work will be especially increased in
the Leech Lake aud Park Rapids
districts.
All the Minneapolis mills are still
running, and all the logs they Can
use this fall are within their reach.
They will be kept going at full speed
until they are stopped by the freez-
ing up Of the river. Last year they
sawed until Nov. II, and although it
is pretty hard to figure on the
weather, it is likely that they will lie
until about the same time
this fall. If they run until after the
10Th OF the month the total cut for
the year will amount to 55O,OOO,0 900
feet. The total last year was the
largest on record, and amounted to
ass, 100000. This year the cut will be
more than 5O0,0OO,OOO, if the mills
shut down now, and it is more than
likely that the 550, OOO,oOO mark will
be passed. The total cut will be
nearly 10O,o0o,03O feet larger than
last year. Il

A BAD RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Two Pierz Farmers Hurt, One Seriously,
While on Their Way Home
Saturday E, eaing.


occurred on the road to Pierz about
faur miles east OF the city at about
6 o'clock Saturday evening. Jos.
LANCER, his son. Hubert and JOS.
Faust were returning home from this
city where they had been to attend
law suit in the justice court.
At the top OF n steep hill on the
roa the bride fell off one of the
horses, and being a high spirit d
team they became unmnnageable
and ran away. Jos. Faust sat in
the second seat of the buggy ana
tried to save himself by jumping. A
few rods farther Hubert LANCER was
thrown out, striking on his head,
and was rendered unconcious. Jos.
LANCER, who was driving, is IS years
OF age, but he managed to keep him
self in the rig until the team ran into
a straw stack and he escaped unhurt.
The team started to run away near
the home OF E. l.. Raymond and
shortly after the team passed Mr..
Raymond heard cries for assistance
They came from Jos. Faust. who lay
beside the road seriously injured. In
jumping from the buggy his foot
struck rock, breaking his leg near
the ankle joint. When found the
bones were protruding through the
flesh, and he was suffering intense
pain. He was carried to the house,
where everything possible was done
for his comfort, and u doctor sent for.
The messenger explained the nature
OF his injuries to. DR. Roberts and he
went out with a suitable conveyance
to carry the man to the hospital
here.
The doctor states that it is a very
bad wound and that it Is probable
that his foot will have to be am
putated. 1t was the unfortunate
mans earnest request that every
effort possible be made to save his
foot, and although the task is a diff
cult one, with small prospects of
success, the doctor has undertaken
it in the hope that he can prevent
the man from being so badly Grip
pied as he wonld be if his foot was
taken off. Besides the breaking of
the joint the bones We're fractured
and an artery severed, and as he lay
about seven hours before his wound
could be dressed, it makes the saving
of his foot even a more doubtful
prospect.
Hubert LANCER. who was thrown
out, although Unconscious for about
20 minutes, was more fortunate. He
received a bad out on the head, which
though painful, is not dangerous,
and he was able to go home that
night with. another team which fol-
lowed the one that caused the
accident.
