The Spectator In an article computing
King Edwards standing in the country,
says: THE people forgive him. that hun
ger for distraction of which he was ac-
cused, and which was probably bred In
him by those long years OF waiting Oh the
step Of the throne with nothing serious
to do. through which the king grew to
late manhood. A new and more just ten
dency Is to remember the. good side Of
Edward VII, of the king who said of him
self shortly after his accession, that If
he could not be his mother yet he would
play the game rightly. The king is often
accused In popular talk Of being too gra-
cious to nouveaux riches. We are in the
least disposed to deny that many million
aires want much snubbing, but we can
as reasonable politicians understand the
kings thinking that the accumulation of
new wealth, in a country which enlarges
it's population yearly, benefit to the peo-
pie, and that to draw new millionaires
within the ancient system is to give that
system new stability" .-s 4.,.'| -,

= Duluth. Mimi, June 2s.-B. F.. Nelson
Of Minneapolis and several lumbermen
from Grand Rapids, Wis, Duluth and
/ Cloquet have been at, Virginia. the
Mesaba range, this week and have decided
to build alarge and modern sawmtll there.
The investment in the mill alone will
probably reach 100000. Timber will, be
brought in from the line of the Duluth,
Virginia & Rainy Lake road, and will be
sawed there on its way to this city.
So far there is no change in the lake
freight rate, and the $3.50 price to Lake
Erie ports remains the standard figure.
It iss not known for sure that even the
two boats referred to last week as per
| haps taken at reduced rate were actually
chartered at that. Certainly no other
has been. Lumber is moving out stead
lily, but not fast, the shipments for the
past seven days having been about II, ,ooo,
| 600 feet from both sides the harbor. Du-
luth shipments for the week were $780,
200 feet.
Captain Weeks, one Of the outside yes
t~sel agents who come here for the summer
months, says that things are better from
the owners standpoint than for some
time. There is a large amount Of lum-
Der on docks and some OF them are badly
congested," ,"She says. 1--WE have had ex-
I cellent drying weather and the cut of

AS instancing the !, advance Of pine
stumpage in this district it is of record
that a large and leading mill firm here
not long ago had bona f1de offer OF 81
for all its standing timber in the Duluth
district, be it near or remote from streams
or railway lines. The timber is not un
| derstood to have cost the owners within
rs per cent of that price. The offer was
refused and the timber Is being made
into boards as fast as possible. Most
| loggers think the price, both of stumpage
an. dot boards themselves, Is too high;
and that st is proving detrimental to the
| business Of the district. but there seems
no weakness in either.
Mills are moving along steadily and
without change. That Of the St. Louis
Lumber company will probably not re-
sumo saving till fall, If then. The Shev-
| lin Carpenter company OF Minneapolis has
offered to locate mill capable Of saving
250,000 feet daily, at Bemidji, providing
the town will not collect more than 81, 900
a year In taxes for period of ten years
and that site of about 100 acres be pro-
vided free. The latter has been agreed
to and the former will come up for final
townsite company gives half and citizens
| buy. the rest and turn it over to the lum-
Der company.
The American Lumber company. that
| has been located at Superior for several
] years, has leased part OF the old car
works and will put in very large planning
mill there capable of dressing 80, ,00O. 900
feet annually. The company's market is
south OF lakes Michigan and Erie and 1t
ships all rail from here. The new deal
is a very important one.
