The Lumber Business,

Frederick Weyerhauser of St. Paul
who is styled the lumber king of the
West, was in Duluth recently and un,
bosomed himself to reporter as fol
lows: "Times in the lumber business
are as good now as they were in 1881
and 1882. One of the disadvantages
of logging this winter has been the
very restless condition of labor. 1t
was always that way, however, in
good times and must be borne. The
fact that the men can get high wages
does seem to encourage them to re-
main steadily at work through the
winter. The loggers suffer and the
men themselves, in many cases, have
less to show in the spring for their
winters work than if they had re-
NAMED steadily in one place. When
wages are low and men are plentiful
there is comparatively little changing
about among the camp crews:

Price of Diamonds.

The activity in mining explorations
has produced an enormous demand
for the black diamonds that are used
drilling. During the past two years
the diamonds have advanced about
$l6 carat to $43 carat for first class
goods. The demand far exceeds the
supply. The past two weeks have adj
vanced 81 a carat, The scarcity of
the good is due to the fact that smin-
ing all over the world is making ex-
traordirnay demands" said Mr.. Dem
inert of New York who is agent for
the only firm that handles them in
America, in Duluth this week.
The black diamonds are found only
in Brazil. The natives get them out
of the river beds. They dig for them
or dive for them, as circumstances
may seem to direct. If little
American ingenuity were to be APP
piled to gathering the dlamnods, they
might be more plentiful.

section 80 case. The land involved is
in Cook county and is supposed to
contain mineral The case was
fought in the land department for
several years and was then taken into
the courts.
In 1889 homestead entry was made
on the land by one Doran. Miss
Carrie Moss, a school teacher bought
his REIMBURSEMENT and filed on it
aud her own homestead entry at the
same moment. Richard bowman had
settled on the land six weeks before
she made her entry and claimed the
land by reason Of his settlement.
Miss Moss claimed that the filing of
the REIMBURSEMENT and her entry
were simultaneous acts and that her
entry cut Dowman's out. bowman
claimed that an interval necessarily
occurred between the time she filed the
REIMBURSEMENT and the entry and in
that instant his settlement became
effective. The department of the III
terror had already given decisions
both ways on identically the same
facts, but the question had never
been presented to any of the courts.
After the decision of the Secretary,
which was in favor of Miss bowman,
Miss Moss brought suit in the district
court for Lake county claiming that
the equity was in herself and that
bowman held the legal title in trust
for her. bowman demurred on the
ground that the patent had not been
issued and that the courts had no
jurisdiction until it was. The dis
trict court upheld this contention.
A few months later the patent was
issued and an action was commenced
in the United States circuit court.
1t was there decided in favor of Dow
man and later when it was taken to
the United States Court of appeals a
similar decision was given. Then it
went to the court OF last resort ana
the fC rmer decisions have been upheld
In the land office Miss Moss was
represented by James X. Redington,
of Washington, one of the best land
attorneys in the country, and the man
who has represented the Minnesota
Iron company in SO many cases while
bowman was represented by R. N.
Marble. In the courts Draper, Davis
& Hollisterand James x. Redington
were the attorneys for Miss Moss and
Towne & Harris represented Dow
man. The cast was actively conduct
ed by Attorneys Redington and L. G.
Harris.

case was set for hearing on April IT,
Under the law as construed by Justice
Austin. his court has the power 10 try

The court holds however, that the case
against Camille Is one wherein he has no
jurisdiction further than to sit as a COM

or or not there is probable cause of guilt
sufficient to warrant the defendants be-
ing held for trial In the superior court.
II is not unlikely that Mr.. kinnear will

But Prof. Moore added, has it ever
occurred TO you that the result of politi-
cal elections in number of localities de-
ponds in a great measure on the condi-
lions of the weather? For instance. il

tres of population. the Democrats, as a
rule have been successful If, on the
other hand, the weather is dry, the Re
publicans have carried the day. The
cause for this apparently peculiar ap-
pearance can very easily be asceTtained.
