Nov. 30.-Seeing no correspon-
>dence from these parts in the SHEAF
we thought it would be in good
order to send in few lines and let
our friends know how we are get
ting along up here, in what many
people think is a wild forest, with
little or no settlement.
The reservation that was opened
for settlement on the 10th inst, is a
beautiful tract of land, and the anx-
lOuS hOme-seekers from almost all
parts of the world are rushing in,
and thus keeping the honorable
land commissioner and the locators
90 on the go almost like a locomotive
bn fast mail train. Every piece Of
land that lies anywhere near q
river or creek is being taken up.
We have neighbors all around but
regret to find them all bachelors.
Still we have reasons to hope at
least that this kind of life is not 60
ing to last very long, after they get
their new homes fixed up in good
shape, and some of the brush and
trees are cleared off. There are
many beautiful homes built already,
and everybody is busy making i'm
provements.
Mr.. Lars Mikkelson has just re-
turned from Big Woods, where he
has been working this fall.
Johnny and Carl Gjelhaug and
Oscar Clemetson are down from
about IL miles up the Rainy river,
on hunting-trip. They were all
invited to Peder Oseth s for thanks
giving supper. They report
pleasant visit and a beautiful sup
per with vinison in place of turkey.
The hunters have set camp up the
west branch of the Vabanica Creek.
Good luck to you boys.
We have snow enough for good
sleighing, but owing to the mild
weather we have had, the swamps
are not frozen and the ice on the
river is hardly safe for team.
Nessrs. Jorgen and Andrew
Johnson have contracted to cut
1000 cords of wood for G. S. Dahl
quist this winter. They have cut a
lot already, but are looking for
more men.

tract for carrying the mail from

NOT OYER YET.

Now that the great Steel company has announced that the big ''conver- sion'' work is over and that the com pany will attend to the rest of the work of the kind, the stock market took on a more cheerful air yesterday. The closing of this stock conversion scheme was indeed a "a long felt want in the stock market but it remains to be seen if the awakening in Wall Street is only a flash ip the pan. Joyfulness seems to be a scarce article among the in- vesting community with the immense drop in stocks that has taken place in a twelve month, drop that has been something more than rich mans panic.'' There is hope. at the bottom, however, owing to the splendid crops that have again blessed this fortunate country, the establishment of sound money and the wiping out of a great part of our foreign financial obligations that loomed up so imposingly a year or more ago. The effects of the f1nan- cial sprees of the last two or three years are not yet over, however.

THE REAL KID"

Richard Harding Davis Describes the
 Original of a Popular Hero.
 When this story first appeared" says Richard Harding Davis in his in- troduction to "The Bar Sinister ''the writer received letters of two kinds, one asking a question and the other making a statement. The question was wheth- CT there was any foundation of truth in the story; the statement challenged him to say that there was. The letters seemed to show that large proportion of readers prefer their dose of fiction with a sweetening of fact. This is written to furnish that continent, and to answer the question and the state ment. zs
 "In the dog world the original of the buli-terrier in the story is known as Edgewood Cold Steel and to his inti- mates as Kid His father was Lord Minto, thoroughbred bull-terrier we'll known in Canada, but the story of Kids life is that his mother was a black-and-tan named Vic. She was a lady of doubtful pedigree. Among her

MORE STIR IN RUSSIA.

The Russian revolutionists are hard to deal with. In view of the threatened labor demonstrations next year, the Rus sian minister of the interior has deemed it prudent to send an official negotiator into the more unsettled industrial cel1- ters and districts os south and south western Russia. in the person Of Gen. eral Bogdanovitch, member of his De- partmental Council He has been furn- ished with an unlimited amount of leaflets and brochures. all written by specially chosen authors, for distribu- tion among the workpeople and the more educated peasants. During the dinner hours the General addresses the artisans II, the workshops and factories, and in the evenings in a large room or public hall which may be found con- venient. He was picked out for this mission chiefly on account of his rhetor- ical powers, but, according to current reports, his addresses have not excited much enthusiasm. It is noteworthy, too, that every leading point and argu- ment employed by him is immediately dealt with. and generally demolished, in the "rescripts," clandestinely pull lished and distributed by the local con4 mittees of the sele-styled Social and Revolutionary Democrats, The latter are encouraged by the Generals mis- sion. which they regard as evidence of the fear and anxiety of the imperial government, and, consequently, of the increasing power Of their propaganda. This is the view taken by good many outside observers.

4 COMMENDABLE EFFORT.

Occasionally really sincere attempt is made to abolish speculation in thea Ire tickets. And occasionally such an attempt is partly successful. At the Opera Comique in Paris speculation in tickets had grown to such proportions that it had become nuisance, and the management decided to prevent the speculators from plying their trade if it was possible. A number of perform ances were to be given at reduced prices, and this offered an excellent op
 portunity to the spectators, who sent men to the box office when the sale opened and secured g large number of the best places, which they then offered for sale to those who were disappointed in not being able to purchase tickets at the office. In this way the object which the management had wished to attain, the making of the theatre more popular, was defeated. To prevent 8 repetition of this practice it was an- nounced that in the future no tickets would be accepted at the door that had. been. purchased on the sidewalk. Employees were detailed to watch the spectators and to report to the door keeper when any one patronized these outside agents. Such tickets were turned back at the door, and even the money originally paid by the specula- tor was refused at the box office. As regards the legality of this last point, the French courts, we believe, have not yet given their opinion. "~
 Success to the Opera Comique man
