The PriCeof Logs.


Minneapolis Lumherman: The
lumberman who buys logs in tbe'mar-
ket today expecting to pay for Them
ny selling their product at present
lumber prices, has no easy road to
fortune. His proposition is reduced
to the "swapping" OF dollars with
chances of losing q dollar or 40 In
the deal. The range Of prices Of logs
today in the Minneapolis market is
from $40 to $13 per thousand. Lum-
Der ia worth $12 per thousand. The
logs will overrun from 20 to SO per
cent according to the quality of the
logs and the thickness of saws and
lumber sawed. A recent sale OF g.
OOO, 900 feet of logs was made here on
a basic OF $40 at Minneapolis mills.
These were fairly large logs, half
norway. The average log coming to
the Minneapolis mills is worth $l2
per thousand here. Suppose our
lumberman pays $40 for his logs and
gets a rebate on overrun of % per
cent, his logs will net him a cost of
SO per thousand OF lumber. To saw,
sort and pile will cost him 1925 per
Thousand, and to yard, handle. dress
insure and sell will coet him $l.5O.
This makes his cost $l1.75 and leaves
him Is cents for his work and risk.

aag SETTLERS WIN.
The Men Arrested for Protect
ing the Grow Wing Dam
Convicted.

The second round in the fight be-
tween the Crow Wing settlers and
the Pine Tree Lumber Co., took
place at the court house last Satur-
day, when the men arrested for
maintaining a nuisance were found
guilty and fined. 1t was q jury
trial. before Justice Myers, and
much interest was taken in the case
by all. Probably the largest crowd
was present that ever attended a
Justice court case in the county.
This gives the battle to the set
tiers, for the present at least, al
though the company may appeal or
commence proceedings against the
settlers.
This is by no means the first trou-
BILE that this company has had in
Hubbard county, and each case
widens the breach between the COM
pany, who are paying taxes in the
county and the settlers who also
pay taxes in the county. 1t is USE
less to deny that a strong feeling OF
antagonism exists between the SET
tiers all over the county and this
company, as well as other lumber
companies. Doubtless both are
more or less to blame, and we be-
neve it will be better for all con-
cerned and the welfare OF the county
If both the people and the company
will let each other and each others
property alone, as much as possible,
and treat the other and his rights
with due respect.
We know nothing OF the company's
wishes or Intentions, but we believe
that the attitude Of the settlers will
to some extent at least govern the
actions OF the company. The settlers
have won, now let them abide.by
their victory.

An Encouraging Market.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
most encouraging features in the
white pine lumber market today are
the unusual shortage OF lumber at
points south of Minneapolis and the
eastern demand that will draw
every thing from the mills about the
head OF the lakes. Not only will the
lumber from Superior lake shore
mills go to eastern markets by
water, but low grade boards from
mills of the inland Duluth district
can find good outlet in that direc.
ton. This means necessarily
strong market down river, relief to
Minneapolis from pressure from the
Duluth district. The Duluth market
is relativelyly higher today on low
grade boards than the inland mar
kets.

$14 Fer Two Eggs.

There is considerable difference in
throwing them at that price and the
customary way OF having three
trials at a mark for a nickle, but
then, once in q while, some things do
come high.
Last Saturday evening while DR..
Oppenheimer and his performers
were giving their free street show,
someone in the audience threw q
couple of eggs at them. They missed
their intended, mark however, but,
unluckily one Of the eggs struck a
lady standing on the opposite side
of the platform from where the eggs
were thrown.
The doctors attention was called
to this cowardly act and it's un-
fortunate result by one of his men,
who noticed the egg strike. He i'm
mediately notified the officers of
what had happened, saying that he
desired the culprit should be secured.
In a few moments Chief Lauerman
had taken in custody Peter Neuman,
whom he believed was the guilty
party.
Neuman was out on bail over Sun
day and Monday morning appeared
before Justice Sheldon. He pleaded
guilty and paid fine of $40 and
costs amounting in all to $14.
Chief Lauerman entered the COM
plant.

SOME OF MOTHER NATURES UN-
OPENED PACKAGES--CHEST-
NUT BURRS.
BY LIZZIE DE ARMOND

There they hung on the big, wide.
spreading chestnut-tree, swinging to
and fro in the frosty air, those odd
looking packages with their prickly
coverings.
S0me had two and others three little
parcels inside; but how could any n
get at them, with all those sharp thorns,
like so many soldiers on guard with
dxsd bayonetsG
There were the squirrels, red and
gray, looking so longlngly at those big
packages, for they knew just what
was hidden away under that prickly
coat. And the children! in playtime
shey would gather beneath the old tree,
and some of the more venturesome
would climb up and carry off a few
parcels; but they paid dear for their
load.
Its time for me to have a finger in
the pie" said Jack Frost one night; so,
with his icy hands, he tore upen the
tough coverings, and inside were the
Ioveliest little smooth brown parcels.
'Tl throw them do wn on the grund,"
cried the rough N orth Wind, who, in
spite of his loud voice, was quite a kind
old fellow.
There they lay, just ready to be
opened
"LhestnutsI" chartered the squirrels,
as, early in the morning, they raced
from their warm nests to get a bite of
breakfast. Every one told his neigh
Dor the good news, and soon all Rq1ir
rel town was ready for work.
There was not a basket in the whole
place, but what did they care for that
Z lch cheek was a bag, and soon the
spry creatures were hurrying to their
homes, with faces pulled out as if they
had the worst kind of a toothache.
Those Packages held sweet, good
food to feed the hungry sqtrrel families
IN the cold, stormy winter weather.
'OhestnutsI" cried the children
''hurTahI' and they, too, gathered up
the precious parcels; they thought they
knew just what was inside, but how
could they, when every time they ate
up the most valuable thing the packets
heldi 1t was in one corner, and looked
somewhat like a tiny white worm, but
but it was truly a chestnut baby, a
wee tree.
IF the good rain would only tuck q
few Of those nice brown packages in
the ground" sighed the mother tree,
''then 1 might have the comfort of
seeing some of my children grow up
around me-"
Tee frost fairies spread a soft, warm
blanket over the ground where the big
tree stood, and one of the brown pack
ages was hidden beneath the white
snow covering, and the big tree shell
tered the place Toe 0 Itlook.
