BRIDGE PIPE HAS FROZEN.
The Pipe Has Been Prepared for Raising
by Direction of tho City, and
It Freezes.

Early Monday morning the water
pipe on the bridge froze, and since
then there has been no water service
on the East side of the river. Sever
al weeks ago the city ordered the
Electric & Water company to pre-
pare the pipe on the bridge for rais-
ing four feet. and the company com
piled. 1t was necessary to remove
all protection from the pipe, and the
result is that the water has frozen,
and no service IL supplied on the
East side. Supt. Baker has had the
electric thawing apparatus at work
all day, but it has had no apparent
effect, and now IL steam thawine
system will I've tried.
If the pipe ON the bridge can be
opened again it is probable that the
company will be allowed to place
any reasonable protection over it.
regardless of the terms OF any or,li.
nance, as it's present condition is
very detrimental to great many
people and Il large amount OF prop.
erty.
The company will do all in its
power to relieve the situation, and
will probably have the cooperation
of the authorities and public gener
ally.

The Logging Situation.

All through the northern woods
the situation il such az to cause con
siderable anxiety among the loggers
With Il splendid outlook for the Inn.
Der trade, the pr.mise of u great
shortage IN the log supply ia any
thing but pleasing to tn, manufac-
turers. And finally, the retailers
and consumers OF lumber have the
prospect in view that anything in
that line is sure to cost them more
as a result OF the inability of the log
gers to stock the mills. All lines of
the lumber trade are affected. Pine,
hardwood, hemlock and cedar
stocks will he materially shortened.
The large operators in pine have
been better able to log to advantage
than have the loggers of hardw God,
hemlOck and cedar. AS u rule they
depend more on ice roads than upon
snow, and reasonably cold weather
Is almost as much to them as snow.
But evan these loggers have had
difficulty in Hceping their roads in
shape because OF the unusual mild
hess OF the weather. Those who
commrnced early and who have been
BILE to take advantage OF every op-
portunity offered will have had a
fairly successful season, but the
smaller logger and the hardwood
and cedar men, in particular, will
gather but Il short crop.
Cold weather from now until Il
late spring would he ;,material help,
but there is no promise of even that.
With the white pine logs carried over
and those put in this season, the
white pine mills will nearly all 3e
fairly we'll stocked and the supply
OF lumber for next season will prob.
ably meet the demand nearly as we'll
as it has been supplied during the
past year But the cut ofharlwood
lumber will undoubtedly fall much
below the average and stocks will
be even less adequate to supply the
needs Of the trade than they were
during 1899. 1t will be question OF
!! ability to get stock at any price
rather than Of how much the mar
ket advances. With white cedar
products the situation will resemble
! that in the hard W God lumber trade.
Posts, poles and shingles have Ill
ready advanced in price, and the up.
ward tendency will be accelerated
by the absece Of snow as the end OF
the logging season approaches.
Since the logging situation has I,
direct bearing on the future of the
wholesale market, it is certain that
Il lower market than now presents
itself is entirely improbable. Higher
prices are almost as certain, and
with this in view early buying would
seem the part of wisdom. Most re-
tailers can estimate with fair accur-
acy what their needs will be for the
season and logic points out that
they will he gamers by buying their
stocks at present market prices.

His life was brief, but full of exciting

the waves that whispered their story
on Lake Bemidji's pebbly beach.
These We're his friends. He loved
them, and with them he was con-
tented. Without them life was q
burden too heavy for him to carry.

of the happy hours he had spent in

just one Billie Snyder, and he is dead.

WHY THEY FAIL.
Neglect of Advertising and 1nattention to

supposed to he worth millions,
failed during the past week, and has
Joined the long procession that has
Ornamented the books before it, says
the OttOwa, (Ill) Free Trader, OF
December ~ Noyrlcr left a fortune
and his business to his widow. who
shortly afterwards married one
DeVries. The latter knew more
about the business, or thought he
did, than the man who founded it.
He discontinued the advertising,
and attempted to save money by
the operation. Everyone knew st.
Jacobs Oil. and what was the use
in spending any more money in
making it's merits known?
The sales in consequence fell off, and
the business is. now ruined. This
lows how foolish it is to neglect
the plain rules that have built up
trade for the sake Of economy. The
wisest economy is wise expenditure,
,akd in this case it consisted in keep
ing in touch with the market. No
man is so great that he does not
drop out of public recognition and
public remembrance if he fails to
keep step with the demand OF trade.
We have seen two people fail from
this circumstance. One was the sue.
cessOr OF the house of A. T. Stewart,
and the other the successor Of the
house Of Chas. A. Vogler. Both
failed from the same cause, neglect
Of advertising and inattentiOn to
the principles that had built up the
business and made it profitable.

WHY WE ARE PROSPEROUS


The Democrats are not pre-
pairing a strong paragraph de.
mandatory of the protective
tariff system for use in the COM
ing campaign. Circumstances
are not favorable to discussion
of the tariff issue from a Demo
cratic standpoint. We do not
even hear that ''tariff breeds
trusts" nowadays. Indeed, we
do not hear very much about
trusts, though few months ago
the Democrats were inclined to
regard them as welcome mate.
rial for manufacture Of campaign
thunderbolts. The plain fact is
that we as Il nation and as in
dividnals never were as prosper
Gus as we are today. And our
prosperity is very largely an
outcome of the magnificent pro-
portions that our exports of
manufactured goods have as
Sulncd.
We are exporting manu-
features that but 4 few years
ago We could not make, and the
cause of our inability to make
them was the lack of protection
to those who undertook to make
them. Protection became a
national policy through Repub-
1ican agency, and a new national
birth of manufacturing enter
prise followed as a necessity.
Legislation protected our infant
industries, and they grow strong
under it's shelter. The iron
trade, the tin plate trade, the
silk trade, the wooden trade, all
are creations of the protective
system, and the manufactures
of ceramic products will take on
the proportions of our textile
manufacturers by a continuance
of the policy that has nurtured
them through their infantile
stages.
