A Change in Box Rent.

Postmaster Heney A. Cady,
after a three years correspon.
dence and work, succeeded in
getting the prices cut down to
more than 25 percent less than
former prices: Call box from
25 to loo per quarter, small lock
box from so to 35c, medium lock
box from IS to soc, large lock
box from 81 to 75c.
Withou. any kicks from the
patrons at the old prices, Mr..
Cady voluntarily went to work
and secured the reduction. A,
these prices the people do not
have to be slaves of the poor

boy and hardly realize the cost.
The change in the rates will take
place with the quarter beginning
April 1st. Mr.. Cady deserves

TAB ON THE TOPERS
Salvation Army to Prepare a Hard
.. Drinkers Blue Book
FOR THE USE OF The ARMY ONLY
To Aid in Battle Against the Saloon
Saloon Men Approve
.F Plan.

Minneapolitans who drink to excess
must not be surprised ii they find their
names in directory of peculiar inter
est. The Salvation Army, following an
order of General Booth will compile a
blue book of topers to aid them in their
war upon the liquor traffic.
1t is the intention of the division com
manders to procure form variety OF
sources information concerning every hard
habitual or periodical drinkers when they
? are sober.
such information would be invaluable
to, u.s. said Staff Captain F. Waite OF
the Minneapolis corps this morning. AT
present we meet many persons addicted
to the use Of liquor, but it is usually
when they are intoxicated and in no con-
dition to reform. When they recover
they go home and we cannot find them
until they get drunk again. A directory
of drunkards would enable US to seek
them out when they are sober and When
they are in condition to take proven
tive instead of cure
Captain Waite, while not yet definitely
instructed as to plans for the work, be-
lieves that a separate directory should
be compiled for the northwestern pro-
vince, which includes Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, northern Michigan and South .Da-
kota AS it grows separate directory
for Minneapolis alone, he thinks, will be
needed
It is the plan of General Booth to keep
the information contained in the "direc-
tory secret, to be used only for the
guidance of Salvationists in their work.
Liquor men consider the plan a "good
thing" They say that it would be val
liable to them in their search for patrons
and that if such a book We're published
it would doubtless bring big price and
find large sale among saloon men.

THE RIGHTS OF L9GGERS
Clay and Dempsey Sue for Losses Re-
suIting From Alleged Him
ORANGES by Others.

Lumbermen will be greatly interested in
the suit of Clay & Dempsey against the
Mississippi and Schoolcraft Improvement
and Boom company, the Brainerd Lumber
company, and w. E. Thurston to recover
$40, 600 as damages to the PLAINTIFF log
drive on the upper Mississippi in the
summer of 1900. The duties and rights
Of logging concerns using the same river
will doubtless be determined to some
extent by this case, although the only re
lief demanded is damages.
In July, 1900, the plaintiffs allege, they
had $4,000, 900 feet Of logs to drive into
Lake Irvine for Messrs. Walker and Axe
ley but the defendants Immediately began
to hinder the operations for no other pur-
pose than to cause such loss and annoy
ance as to deter Their. from such opera
ton in the future. ~; This. the plaintiffs
say, was accomplished by forcing them to
pay $4,000 in fees at the sorting gap,
twenty seven days before the money was
due, causing the loss OF the interest for
that time; by delaying defendants floats
in the Mississippi SO that the plaintiffs
were forced to drive the logs of the de-
PENDANTS as we'll as their own; by run
ming other drives into the river and by
shutting dams needlessly. The drive in
volved in the suit, it is charged, was thus
held back so long that when the fall rains
began the logs were fOated over the low
lands and were lost or were only brought
back in the channel with great trouble.

SCHLEY HISTORIES
Minneapolis Schools Not Likely

Minneapolis Schools Not Likely to
Become Partfzan. '-
An effort is being made to secure the
use of United States histories in the Min
nesota public schools which shall accredit
Schley and not Sampson with winning the
Santiago fight. It has been suggested
that the matter be taken up in the leg
islature during the special session, but
this is not likely to be done. Already
petitions have been sent to school officers
urging them to use their influence with
this method Of procedure will be all that
is required.
A circular given wide publicity through
out the state relates briefly "the conspira-
cy against the real hero of the battle of
Santiago and the present hero of the
American people,, and calls particular at
tention to the findings of Admiral Dewey
and to the published interview of General
Miles. at is Important says the circu-
lar, Ito instill into the minds Of the
young the fact of Schley's glorious vic
tory. BY incorporaIn it into the public
school text books it will become imbedded
in the thought of the growing genera ton
throughout the country, and thus Justice
will be done and great wrong averted. Z"
According to the book men, however,
Schley is already given due credit in most
of the text books now in use.
Members Of the Minneapolis board Of
education are non committal but it is un-
derstood that the board does not care to
enter into the Sampson Schley cont rover
sy.. John "A. Schlener says: GAS far as I
know the board is not disposed to make
any change in the text books now in use
to crafty any political faction. We have
always tried to select the best standard
text books irrespective Of their political
coloring and presume we will follow
the same course in the future''N

H. E. Armstrong in Ainslee's.
Sometimes the remorse Of those who have

to the sum Of the fraud. President Cleveland
once received letter from child that must
have moved him deeply for, doubtless, it was
laid before him as curiosity.
:. Dear President it ran, I am in dread
full state Of mind, and thought l would write
and tell you ALL About two years ago-as
near as can recollect, it was two years ago
II used two postage stamps that had been
used on letters before-perhaps more than
two stamps, but can only remember doing
it twice. My mind is constantly turned on
that subject, and think of it day and night.
Now, dear president, will you please forgive
me, and I promise you 1 will never do it
again. Enclosed And cost of three stamps,
and please forgive me, for was then but 13
years old, and am heartily sorry for what

'tThe treasury department does not know
whether this letter was written by boy or
girl, but the internal evidence of expression
assures US it was a girl. Imagine boy be-
ing In dreadful state of mind about fooling
Uncle Sam with couple of Cancelled stamps.
The urchin might regret he had Wronged his
country and make amends. but the crime
would not Cypress his mind and rack his
conscience with intolerable torments. Surely
the culprit was girl How she must have
tossed on her bed in the blackness Of the
long, silent nights and gone about her day
light tasks with the feeling Of moral leper.
Big, strong men at the same time We're acting
on the Haytian principle that it is not a crime
to rob the government. This the president
Fnew, and that is why he had a lump in his
throat when he read the confession of the
little girl. 1t is the most pathetic of all the
letters on file in the treasury department
that have accompanied contributions to ths
conscience fund. =,

not A CHARITY BOY
Captain Edward Hudson Resents
the Fling at Wheaton.
THE TWO WERE BOYS TOGETHER

Won His Way Through
Merit.

Captain Edward Hudson, 1881 Monroe
street, declares that Senator Dubois, Of
Idaho, was way OFF, when he said in the
debate in the senate few days ago that
General Wheaton was a charity boy"
Captain Hudson, who has known General
Wheaton we'll since boyhood, says that
the Idaho senator is either enormously
informed concerning the rise of the pop
ular Philippines soldier, or that he has
allowed his hostility to the present Phil
lppine policy Of the government to per-
nit him to become unjustly personal in
his fight against it. Said Captain Hud-
son to-day:
knew General Lloyd Wheaton when we
were boys as Peoria His father, W. G. Whea-
ton, was chief engineer of the Peoria branch
of the Rock Island road, and l boarded with
the family. Lloyd was my rodman in 1858,
and knew him to be an industrious and
careful worker and never afraid to tackle
any piece of work assigned to him. He was
upright, brave and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in

PRICE HAS DOUBLED
Farm and City Valuations in North
western Minnesota.
THE STORIES OF TWO JANUARYS
a Train Load of Iowa Immigrant
Movables Coming From Iowa
This Week.


Special to The Journal
Crookston, Mimi, Feb. 1.-The story of
the rapid increase of the value of farm
lands and city property is told in unmis-
taxable manner by the records of the
office of the register of deeds of Polk
county for January. During the month
104 transfers of farm property were listed
in various parts OF the county, covering
q 800 acres, the consideration being
1897 ,066. Fortysix transfers of village
and city lots were recorded, embracing
seventy-five pieces, the cash paid being
$27, 300. Against this statement is that
of January, 1901, when the transfers
numbered ninety-one, embracing u ,599
and twenty-five deeds covering forty
$6,405 was paid. "' ..s
little computation shows that this
year the land values average about $11
an acre, while year ago they were under
Sc an acre.
The lots sold last year averaged $13e
each, and in January of this year the
average price was 1854. J. @-..- 7->s
The outlook for a large immigration
this year is first-class, and the valley
will, from present indications, be the
! mecca of thousands of families of those
who have already purchased farms, while
other thousands will come and buy lands
that will be occupied another year. AL
ready the tide Of buyers and settlers has
set in, and this week thirty car loads OF
household goods and machinery will ar
rive from one county in Iowa.

BIG SALES OF STOCK
TO NEW NORTHWESTERN FAR MERS
Many Buyers of Farms In the CA'S
Purchasing stock and .,
Implements. is..

Farmers who have rented or purchased
farms in the northwest and intend TO
take them up this spring are In Mime
apolis in large numbers purchasing stock.
During the past week st ockmen here nave
made unprecedented sales for this time OF
the year. They have shipped out several
train loads of cattle for new farmers IN
North and South Dakota, Minnesota and
Wisconsin, and have made arrangements
to ship out much more before March l.
Stockmen report that the purchasers are
mostly new arrivals. Many are foreign
ers who come to this country in the past
year and who have either bought or
rented farms in the northwestern states.
The immigrants from eastern and south
ern states, who flocked into this section
last fall are also stocking up their farms,
and that they are starting in right, stock
men say, is indicated by the fact that they
are purchasing on the whole an excep-
tionally high grade of stock. New ar
rivals in the northwest have in many in
stances taken up new farms, and it has
been necessary for them to make all ar
rangements for stocking them before time
for the spring field work, and this &C.
counts for their presence in Minneapolis
at this time. Cash payments are the rule
for both stock and implements.
