FIX Log LAW /.
BY wire from washington, Feb. 8,


Congressman Eddy and Morris
have reached an understanding
on the amendments to the Nelson
law covering the sale Of Mime
sofa pine on the Ipdian reser-
yations, and yesterday afternoon
they introduced a bill providing
that hereafter the timber shall be
disposed Of in the log after it has
been cut. This will dispense
with estimating it on the stump
and selling at auction, as Is now
the practice. The reservations
are to be divided into districts,
and the secretary Of the interior
will have full control of making
regulations for cutting the tim
Der, which will be done so far as
possible, BY Indian laborers,
Logs to be measured and sold by
the thousand at maximum and
minimum price, according to
quality Of pine. There is some
OPPOSITION to his bill, and con.
gressmen Tawney and Fletcher
have not giyeu their consent yet
to it's passage. Under it's terms
the cutting Of the dead and down
timber will be dispensed with.

railroad equipment and the service

BY them of the elegance in furnishings
and conveniences for every possible
need. A great many OF our visitors
from across the water do not realize
that the people in the interior of the
United States are educated and accus-
toned to the very best the land affords
and when travelling over the country
on an imperial train like the
North Western Limited their eyes
open in surprise at the superb equip
ages furnished. Their surprise is not
to be wondered at after an inspection
of the Limited running between the
Twin Cities and Chicago over the
North w estern Line. No train
on the globe. either here or
in foreign lands, is fitted with finer IN
terror furnishings. Especially is this
to be noticed in the dining cars and
compartment sleepers,, which are beau
ties unsurpassed by any trunk line in
the country. Nothing is too good Tor
