lures at tIe l'oftland exposition. The
Minnesota building would be adapted
to the twin city exhibit, and Mr.. Stew
ems has also suggested that this ex-
hibit be removed to Portland, and
housed in the state building during the
exposition. e. J. Westlake, secretary
of the Commercial club, who repre-
sented Minneapolis in the celebration
of twin city day, returned home Mon
day. He says that in his opinion, the
criticisms which have been made, to
the effect that the Minnesota building
at the fair does not adequately repre-
sent the state, are unjust.
a rule may be made at the union de-
pot hereafter to prevent persons from
going through the gates into the train
shed to see people off on departing
trains, as a result of narrow escape
on the part of woman at the depot
last Sunday evening. Standing on one
of the tracks, she was waving her
handkerchief at some friends who
We're leaving on departing train.
She was completely oblivious to all
that was going on around her at the

her, a man standing near jumped for
ward and jerked her safely aside. In
stead of being grateful to her rescuer,
however, the woman slapped the man
full in the face, according to the story
as told by the depot employees. 1t is
said that the practice of seeing people
off on trains is becoming serious
matter at the depot, instead of mere
nuisance. During the rush hours of
the evening, at about s o'clock, when a
large number Of trains come and leave,
there are often whole families who in

the last possible moment with a single

The saving season came to an end
Tuesday night with the closing of the
Itasca Lumber company's mill. Most
of the saw mills closed ten days ago,
but the Itasca mill, which had an
extra supply of logs, was able to keep
going until Tuesday. Lumbermen
say the season was good, average
one, in which they were able to keep
steadily at work. They experienced
no bad luck. except low stage of
water for two weeks in July. The
season has been a profitable one, and
the lumbernen have no grievances to
spread before the world. Conditions
generally have been favorable and the
present situation is hopeful one
This seasons cut is not expected tC

is about 100000 feet less than last

mills has thrown about 5000 men out

Superintendent Barton of the pool
department says that the custom Of
sending poor people from other com
munities to Minneapolis to be cared
for because there are so many Chart
able organizations there that you car

becoming more pronounced. "Minne

coming the dumping ground for the
unfortunate of all the small commun
tiles throughout the Northwest which
are perfectly able to care for theil

fortunate people, who have established
no residence here, and have no CLAIM
upon this city, is to attend to their i'm
mediate wants, such as feeding then
if they are hungry, and then give then
transportation back to the town which
sent them here. We have never hat
so many cases of this kind as this fall
There have been three this week, in

can do for these unfortunates is t,
