opinion here is that Russia occupies an

CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN LOGGING
CAMPS.

Minneapolis Lumber man: Con-
ditious in the northern log
ging camps are now of the most
favora Die character, and opera
tons are being pushed with the
greatest possible activity. Suf
ticient snow has fallen to admit
of hauling and skidding, and
this work Is now we'll under way.
Reports received this week state
that the thermometer has
been below zero for the last
thirty days. The ice on the
lakes is IL inches to two feet in
in thickness. Owing to the prev.
alence of smallpox in the
cedar camps of Wisconsin and
Michigan it has been feared that
the disease would find it's way
into the white pine camps and
would perhaps be a prominent
actor in the cut this season.
All reports received from the
upper Mississippi alley are to
the effect that no indication of
it's progress west have yet been
noted. A few cases were re-
ported in parts of st. Louis and
Aitkin counties, but immediate
steps were taken to quarantine
those sections and to stop the
spread of the disease. Loggers
in tue Brainerd, Cass Lake and
Leech Lake districts state that
no cases have yet been found in
their camps, and it is hoped
with proper restrictions to con.
fine the disease to those sections
in which it is now prevalent.

NEW STUMBLING SCHEMES.

Severalnew swindling schemes
are being worked, and the fol-
lowing from Sioux Fails, S, D.,
shows how some succeed: ssh.
The authorities in several 10.
calities in the state are on the
watch for some smooth swindlers
who have been victimizing care
less people by means of new
and unique schemes. Some of
the swjndlers are working the
Census" fake. They visit the
rural regions armed with blank
forms similar to those which
census ennmerators had, and
claim they are after additional
information for the census
bureau. They have a blank
line at the bottom of the sheet
which they induce their victims
to sign. 1t is afterward filled
out with ink in the form of a
promissory note and sold at the
nearest bank. Another scheme
OF sOmewha similar nature
is worked by men who pretend
to be chicken buyers. Tie farm
er signs a contract to deliver
their chickens upon certain
date, for which they are to re-
cieve 8 cents per pound. They
later discover that instead of
having signed contracts they
have signed notes, which are
disposed of at a slight discount
at some bank in a nearby town,
where the sigDers are person
ally known. One bank in a
town near the Missouri river al
ready has cashed 1920 such
notes. Under various court de.
cisions the banks are considered
innocent purchasers and the
signers of the notes are compel
led to pay them.
