THE slump in stocks in Wall Street
last week was a veritable avalanche of
deprecated values of ''undigested Sc
curities' and watered stocks. Those
whose fortunes are estimated by this
character of assets suffered and it is
said that the wreckage reached as far
as Newport and many child of fortune.
pug dog entertainers and various social
freaks weremade homeless and penni-
less for the time being at least. The
slump in values was estimated at
$1,000, 100000 while bonds depreciated
$4,000, 100000. Preferred United
States Steel stock sold down to 68 cents.
and such slumps as this made some of
the wing operators fall to earth with a
very dull sickening thud. The Wall
Street gamblers are the only ones af-
fected, as the legitimate business inter-
ests of he'country are not affected bv
such fluctuations. '.

ACCORDING to the opinion of Secre-
tary Wilson of the department of agri-
culture the corn crop will be short,
owing to the abnormally cool weather
and the fact that much Of the crop in
many places has been damaged on ac-
count of wet weather. He says we will
have an average crop if the weather
should continue favorable in the future.
but if the weather should not make
corn pop real hard for the next few
weeks there will be short crop in the
corn belt. He says that the grass crop
will be the finest for many years, and
the wheat crop is generally good.

%WHOLESALE FOREST DENUD14TION.
To anyone who is at all familiar with
the cutting and removing of pine tim
Der, the requirement of the Secretary
of the Interior that the timber on
the Chippewa reservations shall be cut
clean and removed before July 1st, 1905,
is absurd. In brief, the department
requires the successful bidders for the
timber to cut and remove the same in
one logging season. The government
estimates give the number of feet to be
cut and removed as aggregating l, $780,
600, 900, and it is altogether probable that
the exact amount will exceed 2,O0O,-
100000 feet, as estimates always fall
short of the scale. Pine timber is be-
coming scarce in Minnesota. Private
owners of pine timber are obliged to
cut timber that has been injured by
fire or wind storms in order to guard
against loss;< the" State of Minnesota
for the same reasons is also obliged to
dispose Of considerable pine every year.
Take the timber that private owners
are obliged to cut to protect themselves
from loss, what the State is oblige d to
dispose of for. the same reason and add
the enormous amount the government
will require to be cut during the log
ging season Of l9O4-5 and the sum total
for that year will exceed 5000, 900, 900
feet. That would be denuding the for
ests of Minnesota with a vengeance.
Naturally enough the lumbermen
who propose to bid for the reservation
timber object to the short time which
they will be given to cut and remove
the same. 1t would require an army
OF men and teams to complete the de-
vestation of the pine forests in one log
ging season. But the inconvenience
that the lumbermen would be put to
That is a secondary consideration The
wholesale denudation of the pine for
ests Of Minnesota in one season means
that in few years hence the prices
that will be required to be paid for
pine building material will simply be-
come prohibitive, and will retard the
settlement and development of north
ern Minnesota.
If the Secretary of the Interior were
to consult the interests OF the consumers
of pine lumber he would not authorize
the sale Of more than 200, 100000 feet in
one year, and if he is obliged by law
to dispose OF all the pine at once it GER
tainly would be wise policy as well
as good business sense to extend the
term for cutting and removing the
timber to cover a period of eight or ten
wears.

The harvest fields of the northwest
want over $4,000 men. Grand Forks
and vicinity wants 5000, while the
towns along the N. P. and G. N. roads
in Minnesota and North Dakota want
all the way from fifty to 200 each. The
Minnesota towns are not asking for as
many men for the harvest fields as in
years past, which indicates that the
farmers are going more and more into
diversified farming, which is the best
thing that could strike them.
