SAWS WILL START EARLY
A GAIN OF TWO WEEKS, ANYWAY
The ScanlOn-GipsOn Company VIII
Begin Cutting RailrOaded
Logs Next Monday.

From present indications general saw
ing operations at Minneapolis mills will
commence much earlier this season than
in former years: A conservative view is
that the mills will be running from one to
two weeks before the usual starting time.
AS rule saving does not commence be-
fore the last of April Of May 1. This
year the mills will be running full blast
by the second week of April. A few mills
will be eating up logs by the first of next
month. The others will be doing business
any time between April and 49,
:. The record for: early saving in this city
will be broken Monday, when the Scan
n-Gipson Lumber company's mill will
commence work upon the first consign-
ment of the 30,000.000 feet of logs which
it will bring into the city by rail. A train
day will supply the mill with more than
its daily capacity Of from 200, 900 to 25O,O00
feet. The daily shipments will amount to
250,000 feet. S'tsDaiiy capacity" in this
connection does not refer to night work.
The mill will not be run day and night
until the season fairly opens, as the log
receipts by rail can easily be handled
during the day time. The resumption of
work at the MILF Monday will give imme-
diate employment to $50 men.
The ice has commenced to break up in
the river and several mill ponds are free
already. Representatives of the Missis-
sippi River Boom company say that II
present conditions continue the mills will
be supplied with logs by April Z. The
early breakup Of the river may inconven-
fence the boom company somewhat by de-
laying pile driving. Piles are now. being
driven through the ice. II the river
clears rapidly it may be necessary to use
steamboats,.
The opening Of the ten big mills at
Minneapolis Will give employment to
about 5000 men.

GREATER. MEN TO COME
I'm THE FIELD OF LITERATURE
30 Said DIR. Van Dyke Last Night
Literature of the Nineteenth
80 Century.

Dr. Henry VannDyke's lecture at Plym-
puth church last evening was in itself
sufficient proof of his statement, that
literature is inseparable from life. ~ His
catholic view of nineteenth century 1itera-
ture revealed man whose view Of life
3s broad, strong and wholesome; a poet
a philosopher, and yet man of the
world. A.. $50 -. .
There was not dull moment in the
lecture, for DR.. Van Dyke is one of the
most effective speakers that has ever ap-
peared upon a lecture platform here. His
solid observations were plentifully sprin-
kled with the Attic salt of wit.
The topic, Literature and Life, - DR..
Van Dyke restricted to Some Observa-
,tions on the Literature and Life of the
Nineteenth Century First of all, he
Tepudiated the distinction between Eng
aish and American literature. All work
in the English language, he declared to
be English literature, Geographical dis
tinctions alone had divided 1t into British
and American. -$%'
Literature, said Dr.. Van Dyke, had
three functions, all of which had been
performed by the literature of the past
century. The, first was to reveal life,
which gives realism; the second, to cheer
and console life. which gives romanticism,
and third, to guide life, which results in
tdealism. #:S
DR.. Van Dyke gave rapid survey of
the masters of the past century. He paid
his respects to Walter Scott, the master
OF fiction; to Dickens and Thackeray,
twin stars Of later day, and to the many
lesser lights Of recent day. The object
Of fiction, he said, was to please, and If
1T did not fulfll this purpose it had no
reason for living. There is, however, a
pleasure that degrades, which must be
avoided. That which man or woman
reads In the closet tells the story of char
Rcter.
The philosophers, "those prophets OF
The people, were extolled as the influence
which saves the world from burying itself
In It's sordid prosperity. Carlyle preached
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-03-12
the gospel of work, Emerson the gospel
of individuality, and Ruskin the gospel

Poetry, the highest form of literature,
was reserved for the climax. It's great
est opponents in the nineteenth century
were Wordsworth, the peasant poet, with
his message of JOY; Browning, the man
Of the world, who exalted the glory Of
the imperfect, and Tennyson, the cult
waited scholar, who told of the beauty
and harmony Of things. Byron. Keats
and Shelley were classed as stars Of the
second magnitude. Briefly, IN passing, DR..
Van Dyke spoke Of the revival of the
literature Of nature as a hopeful sign.
In conclusion, DR.. Van Dyke !. said
that centuries were Il. only mile
stones, not bridges; we were not
separated from the great men Of the nine
teenth century except by an artificial
bound The time is ripe for greater
things, and in the future years he pre-
dicted the coming of the greatest writer's
who had ever lived $3.50
