By this time the steamer had sunk out of sight Many people hung onto the raft at different times. but 1t was not air tight. and We had much difficulty In keeping afioat We were turned over once by others climbing on. but generally managed to right ourselves
 The scene was heartrending. The boats were scattered and oyer-crowded and people were adrIft. begging. plead ing and crying for help. We gathered lumber and made our raft float. We were picked up by one of tho boats returning from shore. I can not speak too highly of the officers and crew"

NO MONEY IN FUND
SCHOOL CONTRACTORS BEsIEGING
COMPTROLLER HrCARDY
FOR MONEY
SAYS FUND IS EXHAUSTED
Has Vivid Recollection of Late Mix
Up With Teachers, and Is
Anxious to Avoid "a
Repetition.

Other peoples troubles seldom annoy
City Comptroller McCardy. but just now
that official is nursing big punches OF
worry in an attempt to keep the school
teachers salary fund full at the eN-
pense of the building fund.
Last August the school board placed
contracts for a number of new build
ipgs, providing for their payment by the
appropriation of $125,000 which the conn-
ell ordered set aside. This, added to
what remained in the building fund, the
heard figured would meet all claims.
Despite this fact however, contractors
who have been filing their estimates
every two weeks as permitted by the
charter, have been unable to secure Hhy
money, their orders Endorsed by the
school board being returned to them
with the information that there is no
money in the building fund. In conse-
quence it is said nearly $4,000 worth OF
claims in the shape of estimates are
outstanding.
Mr. McCardy still carries bitter taste
in the shape of his brush with the
school teachers two years ago, and this
fact together with his desire to head on
repetition is said to be responsible for
his refusal to honor the orders. In the
building fund two months ago there was
nearly $50, 000, and this amount. it Is
claimed, he has transferred to the sal
airy fund.
More worry was added to Mr.. Nc
Cardys growing list of troubles yester-
day when notified that he had beer

ceedings brought by G. E. Holden,

LUMBER WILL NOT DROP
DEALERS SAY PRESENT PRICES IN
SURE But SMALL PROFIT.

Prominent lumbermen of the Twin
Cities say that the price of lumber will
not go down, on account of the extra
expense involved in cutting and saving
the logs. They say that the prices that
are now being received simply insure
fair profit to the lumberman and, were
they to be reduced, the logs could not
be cut and sawed without a loss to the
lumberman
F. NJ Gilbert a prominent lumberman
OF Ashland, Wis, has given out the
following:
We shall put in about 60,00OO 600 feet Of
logs in Northern Wisconsin this coming
season. We will do no logging in Minne-
sofa. Our logs will be sawed at Ashland
and at the head of the lakes About
35,OQ0,0OO feet will be sawed next summer
by the Murray & Jones mill
The price of lumber is very good now
and it should be. When one considers
the high cost of stumpage, the increased
cost OF logging operations in the way Of
wages for the men and higher prices of
equipment, etc, it can readily be seen
that II lumber prices go down now the
lumbermen must suffer a serious loss.
Tho past season has been an excel
lent one for the lumbermen and believe
the prospects are all right for good
season the coming year. do not look
for any falling off in lumber prices and
believe that the decreased cut, which is
certain in another year, will be one of
the factors that will hold. present prices
nfm. even II 1t does not Stiffen them !"
If the present prices of lumber main
tain throughout the year. the cut will be
big one and the lumbermen will re-
celve fair profit for their work. If
not several large projects will be aban-
doned for the year and prices will be
compelled to advance to a reasonable
standard.

little church at Leech Lake. The duties
of chieftain are performed by Ne-gon-e-
be-nesS, an indian who has simply made
the claim that he is the chief. DR..
Wright is satisfied to let him carry on
the work and in no way interferes with
him. This seems a little strange, when it
is remembered that he is the only man
who is entitled to the claim. Dr. Wright's
only son was drowned a few years ago
in Leech lake, and with him perished the
only direct descendant OF White Cloud
who might assume the rule of the Ojib-
ways.
DIR. Wright has the superior education
of an Episcopal priest, and is a man of
culture and refined habits. He is liberal
in all his views, and, though a full
blooded OjibWay, is a reyerent worship
er of the white mans God. He writes a
splendid hand, and is an eloquent speak
er. Every Sunday, in his little chapel on
the shores of the lake, he proclaims the
Gospel to His congregation of worshipers
in manner that exces the widest
dreams of the pioneer missionaries who
came to the Northwest to Christianize
the red man. "a
DR. Wright isia profound student and
is interested in the progress of science,
art and litaEa fure The different mem
bers of the Historical society have found
his services Invaluable in their search
for historical and natural specimens in
the regions of the northefh part of the
state. In their tramping and camping
tours in the North they have frequently
been accompanied by DR.. Wright, and
found his knowledge of the region and of
the proper mode of outdoor life great
help to them while they secured the re-
gion. -
]. v Brewer, who has been on many
trips with him, says that it is only when
out in the woods and beyond the influence
of man that the natural traits Of the
Indian manifest themselves. Then DR..
Wright becomes Na-sho-tah and the in
stincts of the Indian direct him in such
a way as to render him pleasant and
helpful companion in the roughing life
of the scientific investigator.

LABOR IN GREAT DEMAND
EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES SAY NO
MEN NEED RE IDLE.


81 am having calls for men from ali
parts of the. country said an employ
ment agent, as he opened and read a
dispatch from Texas containing demand
for a small army of men to work IN the
Beaumont oil district.
81 am sending large numbers of men
to the numbering camps of Northern WIS
consin and Michigan. Most of these men
come to me every year, when the cold
weather stops work in the city, and en-
cage to go into the woods. Many of
them will return in April, although some
of them remain with the summer crews.
/ am also sending men up to work on
the Escanaba and Lake Superior railroad
a logging road, which starts at North
land, Mich, and, runs off into the WOODS
s.The building of railroads does not III
terfere with the securing of men Tor the
lumber camijs. You see. there is a COM
panionship involved in the matter. The
men associate here in the city, and they
arrange to spend the winter together IN
the lumber camp. One man Will come In
here and engage to go for the bunch.
You cannot switch them off on to rail-
road job Then again there are some of
the companies up north that are the
favorites, arId-I have been sending them
the same men, year after year, for a
long time.
''The fact Ihata these orders have been
sent to me from such long distances. and
from so many different places. is evil
dence conclusive that the demand for
labor all over the country is active. and
that the ,laborers are scarce. The Escan-
aba & Lake Superior Railway company
agrees to pay common laborers S1.75 per
day, provided that they stick to the job
until it is finished and 81. so a day if they
quit before. This does not include board.
They are boarded for SO. so week, which
is deducted from their wages.

WINTER WORK RESUMED
NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY CLUB
HOLD AN INTERESTING SESSION
Members Open n Question Box
Which Will Deal With Things
of Moment and Interest
to Tfain1men.

w. II. Kavanaugh, assistant professor
of mechanical engineering at the state
university read a paper before the North
western Railway club at the Ryan hotel
last night on Experiments With Stand
pipes and Rules for Designing the Same"
MIR. TIavanaugh illustrated his remarks
with number of stereopticon diagrams,
and gave a complete and instructive ex-
PLANTATION of this very important Depart
ment of railroading.
The discussion of the paper by III. I.
Herr, of the Chicago Great Western, on
Reflections on Lubricating Distribution
for Locomotives, :" read at the last meet
ing of the club, was resumed.
A new feature of the meetings. 1.-THE
Question Box was inaugurated at last
nights meeting. The idea is to deal with
things of moment to members, and bring
them before the club for discussion by
propoundipg questions in regard to the
subjects. Among the topics discussed last
night the question of Engine Failures"
was the most important.
Just what constitutes an engine failure
was clearly decided upon by the members
and it was proposed that at some future
meeting the entire evening be given up
reports of the interstate commerce COM
mission inspectors was also discussed
briefly. it being the opinion of the major
ity of the club that these reports for
the most part We're true, but entirely SUI
perfluous
The next meeting will be held Dec. 10
at the West hotel in Minneapolis. at
which time the discussion of Mr.. Kavan-
augh's paper will be taken up. In addi-
ton to this, there will be paper by h
e. EShelman, of the Chicago Great West
ern upon THE Train Dispatcher; His Re.
lations with Train and Enginemen."
There has always been strained relations
between the trainmen and dispatchers of
all railroads, and it is thought that this
paper, giving the dispatchers side of the
matter, will be productive of much good
in getting the two departments on a more
friendly basis.
G. P. Zachritz, of the 500 Line. will
also read a paper upon the sLubrication
of Cars"

DEER ARE PLENTIFUL
REPORTS RECEIVED FROM HUNT
IRs ARE ENTHUSIASTIC.

Reports received from the local hunters
who have gone to the woods in search of
the elusive deer say that the hunting this
year is far better than il has been for
several years past. 1t was feared that
on account Of the absence of snow the
sport would not be as good as it usually
is. However, the deer are quite plenti-
full, and the prospects indicate that d
large number OF them will fall victims
to the sportsman's rifle.
Few states afford hunting fields that
are the equal of those of the northern
part of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Tho
dense forests that abound there afford a
splendid place for deer, and make the
sport for the hunter more Interesting.
The red, or Virginia, deer is the most
abundant this year. The color of this
deer varies with the seasons. In the
summer it is red, the color deepening to-
wards fall. In November it becomes a
maltese or blush color. The white on
it's throat and tail remains unchanged at
all seasons, and for this reason it is Of
ten called the tailed deer.
Judging from the reports received the
hunters who have gone to the northern
woods for deer will not have made their
trip in vain, bat will be able to bring
home splendid bag.
