state board of health, has made a re-
port for the two weeks from January
IA to January %, showing total OF
378 new cases of smallpox reported
throughout the state in that period.

cases of the disease In the state.
The Bemid III 'enstrike stage line IS
being we'll patronized. Hosts of peo-
pie are coming daily with view to
locating, and Tenstrike is catching
the majority of them. Strong infuen-
ces are back OF this point and there is
no question bat that Tenstrike will
make by far the best business center in

There is every Indication that the
coming spring will witness an unusual
amount of building operations in this
city. Even as early as the present
time there is an active inquiry and de-
sirable sites for erecting dwellings are
in demand. 1t is not beyond the
bounds OF possibilities that the amount
OF money invested in residence and
building property between the present
time and the first snow furry next fall
will show an excess largely in favor Of
this year Us compared with many pre-
vious.

Clark Of Shevlin- Carpenter company
of Minneapolis returned the first OF
the week from a trip up north where he
was inspecting the logging operations
being carried on by his company. he.
says that logging conditions are ideal,
there being plenty Of snow and weather
sufficiently cold. The few recent warm
days had not materially affected con-
ditions. MIR. CLARK estimates, how
ever, that the total output this winter
will be materially less than a year
ago on account OF the largely reduced
number OF operators in the woods.

Now that small pox has become so
common and is likely to break out at
any time in any community, the follow.
ing from the Anoka Heard is timely:
"It may not be small pox and it may
not he serious disease and vaccination
may not be positive preventive: but
lit don't cost much for a charge ofvac-
cine and it don't hurt much and,static-
tics seem to prove that the operation
does not spread the contagion, SO we
would advise all our readers who don't
know more than the doctors and who
don't believe that vaccination is merely
a scheme of medical men to get few
dollars on the side when business is
dull, to have competent surgeon
give them shot OF the virus. Then, if
you have the small pox, you will at
least have the satisfaction of feeling
that you did all in your power to
avoid it and if you escape the disease
you can congratulate yourself either
upon your sagacity or your luck.
