GOOD BUSINESS IN LUMBER
Lumbermen Look for 1t, With White Pine
at an Advance.

DULUTH, MINN.-John Millen, general
manager for Alger, Smith &. Co., looks
for the coming year to be continuance OF
good business in lumber with white pine
at slightly advanced prices. One reason
for his opinion that there will be higher
prices Is the short cut Of the present
season in more than one Of the largest
white pine districts and the growing
4 scarcity of timber. Then the southern
pine situation is such that there is not
likely to be any great pressure Of southern
pine upon northern markets; the south
ern pine lumbermen are now, generally
speaking, strong parties who will not be
forced to push their produce out, and the
real competition for the northern pine is
from the south, not from the west.
At Duluth. Alger, Smith & Co. will log
about 1875, 100000 feet the coming year.
From 1000 to 1000 men will be employed
all the year, In addition to those at the
mills. The old mill will be run all
winter as usual. There are from fifteen
to twenty miles Of new line on the COM
pany's railroad. the Duluth & Northern
Minnesota, and they are now erecting
camps along the extensions. The mill at
Grand Marais, Mich, will make a cut
this season Of little better than $4,000,
e 600 feet, and will go into the woods for
i 50.0O0.000 feet next year This makes the
b company's total cut, north and south

National, State and Private Banks May
Organize Savings Departments.
DES MONIES, IOWA-Attorney Gen.
eral Mullan holds that national, state and
private banks may lawfully organize and
conduct savings departments in connec-
ton with their general banking business
and that individuals partnerships and
private corporations may e>gage in the
savings bank business. The only restric-
lions on savings departments so organized
are those imposed by section 1859 Of the
code Of Iowa, prohibiting the use of the
words Savings bank" and Savings insti-
| tuition" in advertising their business to
the public
The opinion is one that is of the great
est interest in banking circles. The mat
ter has not been adjudicated by the
courts and the auditor has been receiving
queries on the subject. In Page county
the question became acute. The national
bank there undertook to organize saw
ings department. In consequence County
Attorney Sutherland threatened President
Reed Of the bank with prosecution. At
| torney General Mullan advised that it was
very doubtful whether President Reed has
| transgressed the law and as the auditor
raised the same question about this time
he undertook thorough investigations.

Shooting at a charIvari Near Cambridge
May Prove Fatal.
CAMBRIDGE, MINN.-At: a charivari
in North Branch town the bride was pos
sibly fatally wounded by three shots fred
by boisterous mob outside the house.
Two Of the bullets entered her breast and
one plowed into her shoulder.
The bride was Agnes Michilske, who
Wednesday night was married to Anton
Kunzoy. The couple and guests went to
the home Of Albert Kunzoy, the bride
groom's brother, where a wedding supper
was served. Gay festivities were just
launched after the feast when the unin-
vited mob Of merry makers approached
the house.
They demanded share of the nights
pleasures and were CURLY dismissed with
scant attention. A terrific uproar ensued
and shots were fired.
Bullets battered against the wall and
suddenly the bride shrieked with pain and
sank to the floor. When the significance
of the occurrence was understood there
was wild rush for the outside. The un-
armed wedding guests readily scattered
the mob.
Arrests are expected to follow. Public
Indignation is great and mutterings Of
summary vengeance on Tie guilty are
heard. The woman may recover. ..-.
