FUTURE OF NUMBERING.
A Wisconsin Lumberman Sees Great
Possibilities For II in Northwest.

Winona Republican; Recently there
have appeared at different times and
in different papers throughout the
northwest articles with regard to the
dying out of the lumber business. The
following will be good news to the
people in the river towns and to those
who are interested in the numbering
business
Mayor A. 81. Strange of Merrill,
believes the lumber business of Wis
consin will continue to increase. Be-
sides being the owner of one of the
largest sash and door manufacturing
plants in the country, Mr.. Strange is
also engaged in extensive numbering
operations and is closely identife d
with other large industries in the cit y
of which he is the chief executive
officer, serving his fourth term as such.
When shown statement made by
| John E. Glover of st. Paul, one of tn e
extensive lumber dealers of the middle
west, in which he predicts that the
lumber output of Wisconsin, Michigan
and Minnesota will shrink betwe en-
80 and 60 per cent during the coming
five years, and that in ten years there
will not be half dozen saw mills run
ming in the three states, Mr.. Strange
said:
1.-The best answer can make to that
statement is to cite the fact that thirty
years ago it was said that in a very
few years the supply of lumber on the
Wolf river would be exhausted, and
there would not be saw mill running
in the city of Oshkosh. 1 submit that
there are great many more saw mills
in operation today in Oshkosh than
there were when these prophets were
prophesying, and that they are still
saving pine timber cut from the Wolf
river and its tributaries.
II have boy IS years of age, who
intends to embark in the lumber bust
ness at Merrill. and l confidently be-
lieve that if he lives to be 30 years of
age he will still be saving lumber out
of logs that are cut in the vicinity of
our city. I do not say that the output
of lumber from Wisconsin pine will be
as large as it has been, but in these
| days of railroads there are great posi-
| bilities, and have no idea that the
sawmill will be abandoned in Wiscon-
sin, as predicted by Mr.. Glover, at
/ least not in the Wisconsin river valley.
''We have an abundant supply of
, hemlock and hardwood timber to work
on, and I believe that some means will
be devised by which we can raft pine
logs across Lake Superior from Can
ada, place them in a boom in one or
more OF the splendid harbors that are
to be found on this side of that great
/, body of fresh water. and that they
will be placed on wheels and brought
to mills in the Wisconsin and Missis-
sippi valleys and there sawed into
lumber. In fact, may say that we
are already working on such a project
and have every confidence that we
shall be able to carry it into effect. ;"

STORES ENTERED.
Burglars Piled Their Trade
Saturday Night.
Costly Plate Glass Window in T. w
Harris Store Broken to Secure
One Pair of Shoes.

Burglars were abroad Saturday
night or early Sunday morning, but it
cannot be learned that they secured
much plumber. The stores visited were
those of Geo. E. Brett, Inc, 7. W.
Hart and Moore & Tobin.
The most damage was done at Mr..
Harris store, where one of the large
plate glass windows was broken. The
burglars stood in front of the store in
the glare of the electric lights and
smashed large hole in the lower part
of the window. opposite display of
shoes. Then, reaching through the
hole, one pair of shoes was stolen.
This pair was No. 615 and was of an
odd pattern. The shoes had been made
on a special order from Mr.. Hart, and
none had yet been sold. 1t would be
very easy to identify them. Nobody in
the neighborhood was disturbed by the
noise.
An entrance was gained to Mr..
Brett's store by back window. 1t
cannot be ascertained that anything
was taken, the robbers evidently mis-
taking the nature of the store.
Moore & Tobin's hardware store
was also entered by a rear window,
but nothing was missed in an examin-
alton of the stock yesterday. A small
amount of money in the cash drawer
was left untouched.
Saturday a trio of strangers went
into the stores of Moore & Tobin,
and Louis Janda. Two of
the pair were large and the other
rather small, and all were well
dressed and had plenty of money. The
larger man purchased a pair of moe
casins at Mr. Janda's store for his
companion, taking mo. Z. The
police noticed moccasin tracks of the
same size in the mud yesterday morn
! ing back of Moore & Tobin's store.
| This leads to the suspicion that this
trio were engaged in the robbery.
! A good deal of wonder is felt that
/ more goods were not taken, when the
! burglars had so good an opportunity.
The burglaries were committed or
the beat of Officer Kelly and Merchant
-; Policeman Macdonald.
The loss on the plate glass in Mr..
Harris window is 800. Conductor A.
Messer of st. Paul owns the building
1 The three men who were in Mr..
Janda's store were seen looking int
| Mr.. Harris window. The show win
dow is enclosed and locked and a per
son could not reach the rest of thu
store from-it. The shoes that were
stolen were pair of Burt & Packard
make, valued at So, with heavy, wide
sole and heel.
One of the three men was in Mr.
p, Janda' store Saturday afternoon, an(
the three entered at 9 p. m. ant
bought the moccasins.
! This forenoon the two tall men wen
into the store again and purchased
two pair of larger moccasons, pre-
sumably for themselves. The polio
were notified, but did not arrive unit
| the two had departed.
/ There is nothing except what ha
/ been stated above to connect the tire
p arties with breaking into the stores
and it is entirely possible that tn
/ officers are on the wrong track, ~ =

SCHOOL MATTERS.
Interesting Items Concerning Schools of
the County.

tuS SOuutys
County Superintendent Freeman
has completed the marking of the
papers of those who took the recent.
teachers examination. Of nine appli-
ants for first grade certificates, FIVE
passed, and of 1873 applicants for second
grade certificates, 81 passed. The per-
centage of successes is unusually large.
C. J. Freeman, brother of County
Superintendent Freeman, takes the
principalship of the Franklin school
for the coming year, having recovered
his health sufficiently to teach. He
was formerly connected with the
Union Steam laundry.
Mapleton has added one more grade
for the coming year.
Prof. Walter Cooper of Beasley' g
Forks, Ohio, is in Mankato He will
be principal of the Gar den City school
during the year commencing next
week.
Co. Supt. Freeman will give half a
dozen belated applicants for teachers
certificates private examination in a
day or two ago.
A. A. Campbell, who recently re-
turned to Madison Lake, is an appli-
cant for his old position of principal
of the school there. There is opposi-
tion, and if he is elected some of the
parents threaten that they will refuse
to send their children to the school. II
is the old fight renewed. Mr.. Camp
bell recently had the misfortune tc
break his arm, which prevented hin
from taking the regular teacher
examination.

One OF the most popular Of the ne wer
developers Is amidol. which Is in vogue
both for Plates and developing paper.
On the latter it gives good tones, but
they are blue-black instead OF pure
black.
Nowadays metol is seldom used
alone. The usual method Is to combine
1t with hydroquinone. Hydroquinone
is . rather harsh developer. who.s
great speciality is the giving Of density
rather than detail. SO that IL Is q very
good blend for metol. whose weak
points IL makes good.
The original developer was pyro.
which means O developer in which the
agent was pyrognllic acid. This 10 q
good developer, but stains the hands
and sometimes the negatives as we'll.
The old school photographers al use
pyro. which is usually used in two 90
lutloDs. and claim that the negative
can be kept in more perfect control
with II than with any other developer.
