The Big
SaW1llill.

Some time since efforts were made
by many of our, enterprising business
men to raise certain sum of money
for the purpose Of inducing Thos. B.
Walker to erect a large saw. mill in
our rapidly growing city, but, we are
sorry to say, the proposition met with
unlocked for opposition: so much SO,
in fact, that many of the more luke
warm projectors were almost satisfied
to abandon the undertaking.
Not so, however, with a few of our
high pressure boomers. They put their
shoulders more firmly to the wheel
of our. rapid march OF progress, when
ittsoon began torevolve and it's hub is
now apace with the consummated fact.
The mill is to be erected; and to that
end material is being gotten out in the
woods3and will soon be placed on the
site, when a large force OF men will
begin its erection.
This magnificent addition to Bemid-
il will be. one of the most up-to-date
sawmills in northwestern Minnesota,
equaling in capacity the one at Akelev,
if not Of more modern construction
and greater capacity. ~azsss ;st r, IT,
Tt is located between Bemidji and
Irvine lakes, about fifty rods east OF
the Mississippi river, and will be com
pleted before time for next years cut.
When ready to run about 25o men
will find employment in it's operation.
Z. b. Walkers millions of feet of
pine in this vicinity will insure the
operation of the mill for years to
come. IL -"
i At least 500 people will thus be ad-
ded to the population of Bemidji and
thousands of dollars will find their way
into the tills of business men for their

Few We're Killed.

The only season during which it is
lawful to kill antlered moose and
caribou closes today, with fewer
bagged than in any season for several
years. Hunters fortunate enough to
have killed these animals may retain
the carcasses in their possession until
next Thursday, and heavy fines are
imposed for shipping the meat out of
the state. ES&>&I 534E
. The present season has been un-
usual. During the five days of shoot
ing allowed by law there was 10 snow
in any part of the moose hunting
grounds of Northern Minnesota This
made it extremely difficult to track the
animals in the woods, and their ma
tive wariness made. it almost impos-
sible to secure a shot. Afew caribou
have been killed, but the number of
moose shot has been very small. Re-
ports state that these animals have
been more plentiful than for two years
past, but that even the Indians, who
are expert moose hunters, have been
able to secure but few. <.,.r s-Hs Es~ar
Only one moose is3allowed by law
to each hunter. After the five days
during which he may have the carcass
in his possession, he is allowed to
place it in cold storage by signing an
affidavit exhibiting the location Of his
quarry, that he has killed but one, and
that he intends to keep it for his own
personal use. The game commission
then takes his carcass, collecting a
fee. Even though an afifd davit IS
made, the power to attach a seal for
storage is optional. q

Uncle Sans Lands.

The figures recently compiled by the
land Office at Washington, showing to
what extent the United Stated still con-
tinues to be real estate, or, more
particularly land owner, are certain
iy interesting and doubtless to a large
majority of people they will prove
surprising. In a general way it is as
sumed that this country, vast as it is,
is developed and settled, and that
with the exception of such tracts as
have been reserved for the Indians
and for park purposes we had prac-
tically occupied the land. But of the
2,27O,557, ,440 acres constituting the
land surface of the country, ,929, ,3OS, 06S,
or considerably more than one-third
are still non-appropriated. OF this
amount, however, $50, ,492,760 acres be-
long to Alaska. That may not be of
much value to the pioneer settler, and
on the other hand itmay be one of our
choicest possessions. 81. ..-. -.
A peculiar feature Of this exhibit is
the amount of land still under govern
ment control and ownership in some
of the older states. There are 428, 1888
acres in Alabama and $4,000 in
Louisiana. Mississippi has over 1885,
600 acres of government land, Michi-
gan over 473,OO0 and Minnesota more
thar 5,627, 1894. The largest public
possessions in single state is in
Montana, amounting to over SO, 073,-
400 acres, or an area about two and
one-half times as large as, the whole
State of Pennsylvania still belonging
to the government, and New Mexico,
Arizona and Idaho come next in order,
though California and Colorado are
not far behind. ...>.., ,.-.~,
These figures are exclusive of the
unsurveyed and unclassified acres OF
our new possessions. The estimated
acreage of the Philippines is 81, $780,
900; of the Hawaiian islands, 4,313,-
500; of,Porto Rico, .2,304, ,000o and of
Guam, $4,000. We can form some
idea of the extent of the last named
possession by comparing it: with the
territory of the city of Boston. which
contains about "a, 600 acres, or three
quarters as much as Guam. Probably
not all of this waiting soil is available
for agricultural purposes, but most of
it can be made so, even in some por-
tions of Alaska. 1t is reassuring to
reflect that it must he long time be-
fore we are crowded off the earth, es-
pecially with the constantly strength
ening impulse toward intensive farm
ing which we have already noted

4 TERRIBLE TALE OF TRUSTS.
Some Reasons Assigned Against Re-
publican Rule.

Here are few of the reasons why
the ''pIain people" are not inclined to
meekly accept the inspired statements
of the trust organs and speakers show
ing what natural, necessary and ben
eficial institution the trust is
1t requires so per cent more wheat to
buy a stove than it did in 1896.
It requires 90 bushels more corn to
buy wagon than it did IN 1896.
1t requires 100 per cent more corn or
wheat to buy copper kettle than it
did in 1896.
It requires twice as much corn to
buy coil or rope as in 1896.
It required 40 per cent more grain to
buy pillow than in 1896.
1t requires rs per cent more grain to
buy hoe, rake or a shovel than it
required in 1896.
A set of common wheels that cost 81
in 1896 now costs $12.
The price of cultivators and other
farm implements has gone up proper
tionately.
Galvanized barb wire costs from 81
to $3.50 per hundred more than it cost
in 1896
It requires 40 per cent more corn or
cotton to buy pound of sugar than
required in 1896.
You have to pay 40 per cent more for
glass than in 1896.
Freight rates have climbed back to
the exorbitant prices which caused a
popular revolt in legislation few
years ago.
The prices of oil, coal, lumber, tools
and hardware have gone up from 40
to 100 per cent.
All these things have been done by
the trusts.
A trust robs you walking or sleep
ing, eating or drinking, working or
playing, living or dying, and the coffin
trust gets you in the end.
