GOING AFTER THE LOGS
CANADIANS COUNTED ON THEM
Itasca Lumber Company Will Ex-
tend Its Road NOrthward From
Deer River. =.

Through the extension of a railroad in
northern Minnesota, the natural ad-
vantages, on which Canadian lumbermen
have relied to get large quantities Of
logs, are to be overcome and the logs are
to be brought to Minneapolis for saving.
AS between the Canadian sawyers who
have located along the border in the Lake
of-the- Woods region and their American
competitors to the south, nature has been
partial to the lumbermen Of the Dominion.
The rivers and creeks of the northern
part Of the state flow northward. In their
war on Minnesota pine the American
manufacturers have swept clear of pine
trees much of that territory in which
the streams flow southwark. They are
now beginning operations in that part
of the state which the Canadians have
regarded as theirs. The Itasca Lumber
company will extend it's road northward
from Deer River this spring; how far has
not yet been announced. This will carry
the rails into large bodies of pine forests
and this timber when cut into logs will
be carried by rail to the. Mississippi and
driven to the Minneapolis mills.
Officials of the Itasca Lumber company
are in the northern part of the state now
making an Investigation Of the situation
and will decide whether the road is to be
pushed to the boundary this year. 1t
is settled that an extention of consider
able length will be made. Whatever
building is done will be with the view to
making the road useful for diverting tim

AK, Gun And POISON
Ginsberg's Insane Prisoner Had a
Terrifying, Deadly Equipment.
SHE WANTED TO DYNAMITE HIM
Her Rooms Were Found in Con-
dition of the Widest ..-
.... Disorder. ----.-.. D..

A most unusual and pitiful case of in
sanity was discovered in a, house on
Fourth street, near Seventh avenue s.
early yesterday. Police Lieutenant Mar
tin Ginsberg was accosted in the
street by rather good looking young
woman, and when he spoke to her she
thrust a revolver into his face. IN. the
other hand the young woman carried an
ak and in the pocket in her dress was
found a. bottle Of carbolic acid. Gins
berg arrested her, but was tempted to let
her 20 when she threatened to throw a
handkerchief containing something heavy
onto the sidewalk. She said it was dyna-
mite. Finally, wrestling the dangerous
appearing package from her hand, Gins
berg took her to the station. This morn
ing she was found to be violently insane
and was taken to the insane ward in the
county jail
In the rooms where the young woman
lived was found the worst imaginable
condition. In her rawlings she had torn
into shreds all the carpets, rugs, bed
clothing and even her own garments.
These, with the broken pieces Of all of
the dishes and crockery had been heaped
on the floor, until in one of the rooms
the layer of debris was nearly two feet
high. There was nothing in the way Of
food in the rooms except quantity of I'M
cooked bread and dough, and it appeared
that the unfortunate woman had been
subsisting on that.
At the station or jail she would not give
any information concerning herself She
said at one time that her name was
Haven, and that she has brother named
Johnson. Again she said that her maiden
name was Christianson. She is we'll
appearing young woman of about % years
and evidently had a good education.

HUNDREDS TO COME
Big Attendance Expected at the
Norwegian Lutheran Synod.
MEETING TO BE held MAY 1929
tendance Will BE Fully
1900.

One Of the big gatherings in Minneapo-
lis during the present year will be found
at the biennial synodical meeting of the
Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran church
OF America. which will be held here May
1873 inclusive. 1t is one of the oldest
and largest Of the many church organiza-
lions supported by the Norwegians in this
country and stands very high among I-u-
theran bodies There are about 335 cier
gymen In the church, most Of whom will
attend the synod and the lay delegates
will probably number 500 There will
also be many visitors, such as the wives
and daughters Of the delegates and others
interested in the church. so that the to-
tai number will probably be swelled to
about $500. -
The sessions will be held at Our Sa-
yior's church. Seventh street and Four
tenth avenue s, OF which the Rev. John
w. Preus is pastor
Outside Of the routine business affairs
the synod will discuss many interesting
matters. Chief among these is the semi
centennial of the organization OF the
synod which comes next year. 1t is pro-
posed that subscriptions be opened at the
meeting for a jubilee fund. Among the
other questions will be the proposition
for a pension fund for invalid and super
animated clergymen and the reasons which
prevent q UNION OF the Norwegian LuIu-
eran church organizations in America.
The synod was founded at Koshkonong,
Wis, in 1853. after an attempt had been
made to unite the Norwegian Lutherans
in Illinois and Wisconsin into one or
ganization. The famous pioneer preach
ers, the Reverend Messrs. Wilhelm Diet
richsen, who came to America in 1874,
H. A. Stub and A. G. Preus in the latter
forties and V. koren, the present head
of the church. will take the lead. The
synod has had substantial growth and
although it has lost considerably by Sc
cession has always maintained it's work
with vigor and success. The chief edu-
cational institution is Luther college, at
DEBORAH while the theological school,
Luther seminary, is located at Hamline.

AWAIT HIS ANSWER
New Developments Arouse Cert
sens Friends and Enemies.
GRoNvoLD, ARTIST, HEARD FROM
He Writes That Payment Was Re-
fused ON That Altar Piece
Draft.

Charges Of a most serious character are
brought against the Rev. M. Falk Cert
sen by M. Gronyold, the famous Nor
wegian artist in Munich, Germany. He
has made statements in a letter to A. G..
Thuraas, OF this city, which have aroused
all who know Mr.. Gjertsen. There is
much discussion over the matter in South
Minneapolis, bpt during Mr.. Gjertsen's
absence from the city all, even his enc
mics, seem willing to reserve judgment
until he has been heard from.
The complication grows out Of the pre-
sentation Of an altar-piece to the Trinity
Norwegian Lutheran church Of this city
by friends of Mr.. Gjertsen and OF the
church in Stavanger, Norway. The COM
mission for painting the altar piece was
given to Mr.. Gronvold and the money
subscribed to pay for it was turned over
to Mr.. Gjertsen in the form of a draft for
lob kroner (about $275). During the
Gjertsen imbroglio in the Trinity church
insinuations regarding the draft were
made, but the matter was dropped when
what purported to be the original draft
was shown by Mr.. Gjertsen. This draft
was turned over to the committee and
was forwarded to Mr.. Greenwood who
still held the painting pending the receipt
OF the money for his work. ts
y A few days ago Mr.. Thuraas, member
OF the congregation, received letter
from the artist stating that he had pre-
sented the draft for payment but that it
had been refused with the statement that
1t had already been honored, Mr.. Cert
sen having collected the whole sum last
October.
1t Is the custom in Norway for banking
houses when sending drafts by post to dis
patch two different mails in order to guard
against loss in transmission. The first is
known as 'prima" and the duplicate as
"secunda." Money may be drawn on
either, but the payment on one Of course
cancels BOTH To indorse both drafts
naturally constitutes the crime of forgery.
The draft turned over to Trinity church
was the ''prima" and, according to state
ment of the bank, the money had been
previously drawn on the "secunda.''
7 Mr.. Gjertsen is out of the city, having
left about ten days ago for klamath
Falls, Oregon. He intended to return
about April 1. At present there is no
way of securing an explanation from him
for some time. ...,.

FEELS THE SHAME
One of Mayor Ames' 'sInspectors'
Realizes His Position.
HIS WHOLE CAREER IN JEOPARDY
May Take q Hand in the
r.. vs -, Affair. . ,aa-..2s '-.-

All is not moving smoothly with Mayor
Ames' system Of medical inspection in
ing from an unexpected source. There is
now strong disposition on the part Of
at least one, of the two assistant city
physicians to whom this work has been
assigned to get out from UNDER" and it
is also said that at the next meeting of
the board of corrections and charities Of
fetal action will be taken designed to re-
lieve both Drs. Clark and Cohen from
their disagreeable task.
The, assistant in question is said to
realize fully that while the emoluments
of the position are generous, it's duties
will be serious detriment to his prac-
tice, his professional reputation and to
his social position, and that in justice to
his future he cannot afford to be mixed
up ii such a. business.
1t is understood that he has appealed
but thus far the mayor has refused to
do so. He insists that the young man
stand up to the rack. The. latter's in
fluential friends are. now concerning
themselves in his behalf.
The members Of the board of corrections
and charities are far from being pleased
with Mayor Ames' use of the assistant
city physicians IOr tnlS purpose anu IL IS
now predicted that unless there is a
change of program before the next meet
ing the board will take measures to nullify
the mayors orders so far as they apply to
the assistant city phY1fcians. 1t is in the
power of the board to prohibit members
of the hosp>al staff from engaging in this
work. -
Mayor Ames insists that he is taking the
proper course to preserve public health
and declares that the order will remain in
force. The system is, all right when under
official control, as in this case, the mayor
says. 1t has never failed under such cir
cumstances
Chief Of Police Fred Ames is sure that
the mayor has taken just the proper
course and that it will have the effect OF
forcing out Of business many of the
"roomers" and others not reached by the
order. The doughty chief was especially
stirred up over the action of the Woman s
Medical club and declared
We're going to look after this thing our
selves, and III be ID If anybody else is
going to have anything to say about it.
We're not going to let lot Of old women
runiit that's sure. e

MATTERS OF FORM
Problems That Confront Members
of Roosevelt Dramatic Club.
ESPECIALLY sYLvIA's MAIDS
In ''The Viking'' to Be Put On at
MankatO and Minneapolis
....- Soon. ...--

There are swell dressers in the ;Roose-
welt Dramatic club, which is to put on
"The Viking at Mankato, April Is and
later In Minneapolis, but some Of them
are having a hard time being fitted out
just at present. Where heretofore the
preliminares to the filling Of an order
for suit necessitated but one or two
visits to the tailor, the changed condi-
lions now require repeated trips to tailor
ing establishments, and even then those
who have the contracts can't seem quite
to "get the hang Of the thing
This is particularly true of Sewall An
drews and Tom Dyer, who are to play the
parts of waiting maids to Sylvia. They
have been made to wait so long upon the
modest modiste who has undertaken the
contract of taking their measure that they
almost despair Of getting in form.
Have patience, "'--is the constant in
junction of the brave little woman who
is putting them into shape and adapting
feminine dress to their masculine angles.
Daily the outlines grow more soft, the
curves more sinuous, the contour better
rounded. -
One big "draw-b ack"Ito natural acting
on the part Of these bashful young men
is the constant disposition of Miss An
drews to tread on the train Of Miss Dyer's
skirt. The skirt won't stand for it, and
as a result invariably parts company with
the man for whom it has conceived an I'M
usual attachment. Then to the repair

Neither Of these fair ones has ever been
heard to sing that once popular song,
"Only one girl has 2 my sympathy
They've all got our sympathy" said Mr..
Andrews. why, if I were foredoomed to
walk through life with all these impedi-
ments, I should certainly jump off the
bridge
Both have consoled themselves with
the reflection that this modification of
the flesh is for the good of the cause, and
as both have put good face on the sit
uation, they are bound to make prepos-
sessing female impersonators.

CORSET WHALEBONE SCARCE
Chemists Experimenting With Horn
81 to Provide a Substitute.


Philadelphia Times. ~"
Corset manufacturers are becoming
alarmed over the growing scarcity Of
whalebone, which, through its scarcity,
has recently advanced to Sc per pound.
Makers of the finer grades of corsets par
ticularly are affected, as they cannot use
horn, now so extensively utilized in me-
dunn and low priced corsets. AS one
manufacturer remarked, a substitute OF
some kind possessing all the good prop
critics of whalebone will have to be found,
probably through the agency of chemistry.
The largest manufacturers in Europe, who
manufacture the finest grades of corsets,
local merchants say, have already COM
missioned chemists to experiment with
horn.
That there has not been a sharp ad-
vance in the price Of corsets fitted with
whalebone, manufacturers say, is because
the present stock made with bones was
purchased at nearly one-third less than
the present market quotation for whale
bones.
According to official figures, the catch Of
whales last year yielded only $4,000
pounds of bone, as compared with 100000
in previous years. Whalers say the small
catch is not due to a scarcity OF whales,
but to the present method of entering
their grounds The modern steamers used
create such disturbance, unlike sailing
vessels, that the whales have learned
to take warning and swim away. The
average whale yields from 500 to 1000
pounds of bone, which is cut up into 200
to 800 slabs and made into corset boning.

FAD" FOR CONVENTION
Scheme to Boom Employers and En-

SCAGNe 10 BOOM employers and Em.
ployes' Conventions.
Persons actively interested in the next an
nual convention Of the employers and en-
ployss dn this city have asked the postof1ce
department to help them in the way Of ad-
vertising. They seek to have the local postal
authorities authorized to stamp on every
envelope, postal card and other mail matter
leaving this office the fact that such meet
ing Is to be held in Minneapolis.
Postmaster s. B. Loveioy has agreed to
bring the matter before the postmaster gen.
eral Immediately, and 1t Is believed that there
will be NO objection to the plan which has
already been in operation as a means of adj
vertising conventions in other cities and big
undertakings such the worlds fair at St

II the desired permission is granted the
words, National Convention of Employers
and Employees, Minneapolis, Sept 22-26, 1902 y
will be stamped on the lines OF the flag wita
