Minneapolis Lumberman: a few
I years ago when congress was criti-
ciEed for making appropriations
amounting TO a billion dollars, g
prominent public man made the r.
mark that this was "a billion-dollar
country Since then we have been
growing and now have two billion
dollar country. During the fiscal
year ending the last day Of June, the
foreign trade Of the country passed
|, the two billion mark and went near
~ q quarter of billion dollars be-
ssyond. This breaks all previous rec
ords in the aggregate, gives the
largest total of export shipments
ever known and shows 9 balance OF
trade in our favor of more than q
hall a billion dollars. 4 In only one
year Of the past ten has the balance
az trade in our favor been greater.
That was the year Immediately
folio wing the passage Of the present
rtariff law, when the Imports were
the smallest for any one of the past
ten years, and the Letter wheat
prices and immense grain exports
swelled the total of outgoing trade.

TO IMPROVE OAKLAND cExETERY
Ladies of the City Desire 70 Form IN
association For That
Purpose. ..& XIV il, BssS

A number of the ladies OF the city
are Interested in an effort to
take some steps toward the improve
ment Of Oakland cemetery. Many
people who have year after Year
tried to beautify their lots With
grass, shrubs and flowers, have
found it almost impossible to do so,
because of existing conditions. IA
large number Of people Throughout
the city and county are deeply H.
terested in the cemetery and it f. Ne
lieved that by united action the
needed improvements can be made,
which could not, in any possibility,
be done by single individual effoIt.
The chief need is a liberal supply pr
water. Trees, shrubs. etc, could then
be planted with a certainty OF grow
ing, and the grass kept fresh through
out the season. Gravel walks and
other improvements would also add
greatly to the appearance. A man
to give his entire time to earring fbr
the cemetery throughout the sum
mer would also be desirable. Itfs
hoped that by union of work m1SSh
can be accomplished I'm this direction.
In many other cities this work has
been taken in charge by the ladies
and the result has been most satb-
factory. To take the first steps Ia
meeting has been called to be held 1t
the city han Wednesday afternoon,
August 8, at 8 O'Clock. 1t ia hoped p
large and representative attendance
will be present, that the matter may
be fully discussed and a strong a.
ISOLATION formed. Our cemetety
should be the most beautiful spot II
tho city. Let all have a share u
bringing about this much-to-be a.

A Big Contract.


Duluth News-Tribune: The East.
ern Minnesota road has taken u con-
tract from the Burlington Lumber
company, to take II, 1000, 900 teet Of
logs, cut for them by D. II. Freeman,
Of st. Cloud, out Of Cass lake and
land them in the Mississippi river at
Grand Rapids, in order to save the
seasons driving. These are logf
that are being cut on a long time
contract, under which Mr.. Freeman
was to cut the logs and drive them
into the Minneapolis Boom com.
pany's limits. Owing to the low
water, however, the logs are tied up
at Cass lake. 80 that to rail them to
Grand Rapids seems to be the only
practicable way to get them out.

ANOTHER IAN GyoSE WRONG.
Sheriff Rider Went to Moorhead Thursday
" Night to Get A Motley Nan Charged
81 y#%h g.. &., With Insanity. =: ~

Morrison county ought soon to
have her quota Of representatives at
Fergus Falls filled, for at the pres
ent rate OF commitment there ought
not to be many vacant places left tor
which to find an occupant.
Thursday afternoon Judge OF Pro-
bate Richardson received acommuni-
cation from Moorhead that q fellow
by the name of Ben Olson, q resident
Of Motley, had gone insane at that
place. The authorities ALEC desired
to know whether he should be taken
before the Judge of probate at Moor
head and committed or held until the
authorities from here could come up
and get him before the court here.
Being a resident Of Motley, Morrison
county must necessarily pay the ex-
penses whether convicted there or
here. 1t was decided that Olson
should be brought here and examined
as to his sanity, consequently the
sheriff went to Moorhead to get his
man.
Olson, who is q one legged man
and a cobbler by trade, has lived at
Motley for long time. About two
months ago be pulled stakes and
went to Moorhead where he hired
out as gate keeper for the Northern
Pacific at their depot there. He is
said to be a hard workingman and at
tended strictly to business until about
a week ago when he appeared to be
demented. He grew steadily worse
80 was taken in charge by the au-
thorities. 1t ia not known whether
he has any relatives in this county
or not.

One Less Blacksmith Shop.

About O'Clock Friday morning
the blacksmith shop of Frank Wir-
witzki, located on the West side,
went up in smoke. the building and
contents were insured but q couple
OF weeks ago the policies expired.
The loss on building and contents
will figure up to about $500.
The shop has been closed for some
time as the proprietor is employed
out OF the city 30 the building could
not have been destroyed by a fire
started within the building during
the day. The fire last night was dis
covered by an employe of Tanners
-four mill who said when he first
saw it the entire building was ablaze.
He Immediately turned in an alarm
which was responded to by Hose
company No. 8 and Hose company
No. l, Of the East side. The flames
were soon subdued when the firemen
turned on the water. The building
itself was valued at about $75, the
remainder of the loss being on ma
chinery and tools, some OF which
were new ones recently added.
LArER-It has since been learned
that Mr.. Wirwitzki is still in the city
and has used the shop some lately
He also carried insurance. He had
$50 on the building and $50 on the
tools in the North British Insurance
company represented by signor &
Schallern. The insurance policies
were renewed about thirty days ago
1t was also learned that the Water
Power company about two months

EXDQlSiOD IN Northern Wisconsin.

The wisepoor man who bought
a farm on easy paymnnts, End
the wise manufacturer WHO err
ected factory in Northern Wis
consin a few years ago, when
times were not as prosperous as
they are now, are reap1ng their
reward. Northern Wisconsin is
feeling expansion in the truest
sense Of the word. Opportuni-
ties have not passed, by any
means. There are still thousand
Of acres of rich hardwood timber
lands awaiting the settler as
we'll as the manufacturer which
can be obtained at low figures
and on easy terms. Good roads
fine school houses and other i'm
provements are increasing and
civilization is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kao-
line. mari and timber lands sup
plies the wants Of everybody.
The transportation facilities
are unexcelled. The Wisconsin

excellent transit service to the

Our Candidate.

From The Merrill Advocate.
In spite of the fact that num-
.erCns good men are in the hands
of their friends" as regards the
Republican nomination for gov
.ernor. The Advocate still holds
to it's original position that the
best man for the office is Senator
Andrew l.. Kruetzer, Of Wausau.
Why should not northern Wis
.consin again have the honor Of
furnishing the executive of Wis
.consin? Any good reason, gen
tlemeu? This part Of Wisconsin
is rapidly growing and in a few
years will furnish the biggest
share of the material wealth of
the state. Geographically Wau-
:sau is near the center Of the state.
There is nothing to matter with
Senator Kruetzer; a young man
of brains and ability. AS a law
yer he stands we'll at the bar Of
the state. AS a gentleman of
culture and agreeable ways Sena-
tor Kruetzer can hold his own
with anyone. He is not untried
III public affairs. His knowledge
of men and things is as good as
any of the other gentlemen seek
ing the nomination.
We heartily endorse the seDti-
1nents expressed by the Advo-
cate. We however, doubt very
much whether Senator Kreutzer
could be induced to give up his
lucrative law practice, abandon
his beautiful home and pleasant
associations at WauSau for a
period Of two or four years, not
withstanding the guberatorial
plumb is a tempting Que.

Kill the Bill.


A bill has passed the Senate Of
the United States, introduced by
Senator Spooner, we understand
that will prove a hard blow to
North Wisconsin if it should fl
nally become a law, as it will
operate to delay settlement of
the unoccupied public lands for
an indefinite period. The bill
purports to grant to the State OF
Wisconsin, as indemni ty for
swamp lands embraced in rail
road grants, large amount of
vacant government land-ahout
all that remains within the Dor
,ders of the state at this time.
Should this bill become a law the
poor homeseeker who is unable
to buy land would find it neces-
sary to go to the far west in or
der to take advantage Of the
homestead laws, and the vacant
lands in the Wisconsin River Val
ley now open tohomestead entry
would be withdrawn from the
market just at the time when
extraordinary efforts are being
made to induce settlers to locate
here.
To one who is only partially
familiar with state land grants
the demand for indemnity at this
time appears to be wildly un-
reasonable. There have been
military wagon road grants, ca
nal grants, Fox and Wisconsin
river Improvement grants, in
demnity grants, school grants,
and the Lord only knows how
many other grants-all to the
state. All of these lands have
been taken out of the reach of
homestead entrymen and sold
only to men who had money to
pay for them. In Lincoln, Onei-
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1900-03-12

da and Villas counties there are
still large tracts of vacant gov
eminent land upon which home
steaders may settle and estab-
lish themselves in homes OF their
own.
The state wants these lands
aid, if it follows the course late
" adopted in handling the lands
it now has, it will withdraw
them from the market and wait
for rise in price. Then the
homeseeker must leave W1scon-
sin and go west if he is not able
to buy a farm, and the effort to
develop and settle northern Wis
consin will be retarded just that
much.
AS an illustration of the work
ings of the state land scpeme
Forest county may be noted.
Entire towns in that county
have been divided by grants be
tween the state and the railroad
company Thousands Of acres
of Forest county lands were
grantud to the state to aid IN
building a military wagon road
where is that road? Theselands
are withdrawn from the market
by the legislature and Forest
county can get no settlers until
they are restored. This sparsely
settled country, rich in natural
resources, will remain for an IN
definite period a wilderness, and
no man of moderate means need
go there to seek a home.
It is sincerely hoped that Con
gressmen Stewart and Jenkins,
the two gentlemen representing
that portion of the state that
would be injuriously effected by
this bill, will find a way to it, in
the house. Wausau Record.
