MAKING THEIR FALL INSPECTION.
The Log Committee of the Mississippi q
Rum River Boom Company Max =
ing Their Fall Trip.

Messrs. III. G. Akeley. G. D. Dorr
and C. A. Smith, OF Minneapolis, the
log committee of the Mississippi &
Rum River Boom company and j. l..
Webb, their superintendent. are out
making their fall inspection Of the
river from OlmsteaI bar to Mime
apolis. The gentlemen mentioned
came up from Minneapolis Tuesday
noon by train.
In the afternoon they secured a
rig and drove up to Olnstead bar.
They touched the river at several
places between the city and that
point to look over the situation and
returned to this city in the evening.
This morning they arose bright and
early and started on their down.
ward trip. They embarked here in
a bateau and will row down to st.
Cloud They will be joined there by
y. F. Nelson, another member of the
committee, and will make the rest of
the trip to the saw mill city on
board small stern wheeler.
A representative of the Transcript
cornered Mr.. Akeley at Hotel Buck
man this morning and had a short
talk with him. Mr.. Akeley, speak
ing in behalf of the company, said he
was we'll pleased with the seasons
work and especially the latter part.
The first part of the driving season
looked very slim, but during the
middle of the summer rain came and
saved the country hundreds Of dol
lars. Mr.. Akeley said that from
$50, 00O, 900 to zoo, 100000 feet of logs
wot1ld be kept along the river over,
the winter. The saw mills at the
Cities have enough logs to finish this
seasons run and have logs stored In
booma above the city to begin saw
ing in the spring These will keep
them going until the first drive
reaches them.
1t Is the opinion Of the committee
that the winters cut in the woods
will not be as large as it was last
winter. So many logs are left over
that it is unnecessary.
Mr.. Akeley had a drive of his own
on Platte river last year, but says
he has stopped logging on that
stream, as there is but very little
timber left. Local and nearby saw
mill men still own some stumpage
along the northern banks of Platte
river and will do little cutting this
winter.

A BRIEF TALK WITH ROYALTY.
E. B. Hyde Of Retreat, Takes Issue With
English Authorities.

ARrHuR BALFouR, First Lord Of Treasury,
London, Eng.
DEAR SIR: In your recent speech at
Manchester you stated that the South
African war has knit together the sym
pathies of all English-speaking people .
beg leave to differ with you ven
ture the assertion, without any fear of
a successful contradiction, that a very
large majority probably not less than
three-fourths of the intelligent citizens
of America fully sympathize with our
sister republics of South Africa, and We
sincerely hope they will succeed in main
tanning their rights even at the discom-
fixture of our English cousins. 1t NAV
be but natural nat we sympathize with
a republican rather than a monarchical
form of government, but certainly in
the present instance we believe Great
Britain is the aggressor and ought to be
beaten. We also believe in the Monroe
doctrine, and are almost unanimously in
favor of maintaining it at whatever
cost. Therefore we are not IN favor of
having our government espouse the cause
of either beligerant in yours or any other
foreign war.
Sir, am not an anarchist, and have
no desire to see India or ireland become
independent of beneficial government,
but ! sincerely believe the South African
republics are and of right ought to be,
free and independent.
Sir, pardon me for presuming to in
struet my nominal superior, but if you
will take the trouble to ascertain the
facts in the case, you viii see that the
sympathies of the American people are
not knit together in your present war.
Sincerely yours,
E. b. HYDE, Elk Union Soldier
