first winter. Our saw mill is
running, saving pine. 1t is
located on a small lake, and on
the railroad track. We did not
buy this mill until the logging
season was about over, so that
we have not more than 100000
feet of lumber in the logs in
the lake, but it is the intention
of our manager to fill this lake
next winter, which will hold
100000 feet of lumber. We
have not cut a tree from the
1000 acres of our original
purchase as yet, and | am of
the opinion that we will not for
several years as we can buy
thousands of acres and hold
ours until later on. The saw
mills in this country are utiliz-
ing all of the log. We have in
our mill, lumber saw, shingle
saw and lath saw, so you see
none of the log gets to the

to he one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds ana all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper
mental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case, which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil

Letter Frc,n A. Edsecomb.

1904. Mr.. r. H. Harris. Dear
Sir: When | was leaving the
Valley you requested that /
write you when | got here and
as | have nothing to do in the
evening but sit around the
hotel | will write you. This
town, Blackjack, Mimi, is a
typical lumber town of 1000 in
habitants in the summer and
2OOO in the winter, when the
timber rats are here getting
out the cedar and logs. 1t is
so far north that the water
runs the wrong way (north). 1t
is about 40 miles north of Lake
ltaska, the source of the Mis-
sissiapi river. The summers
are very short and pleasant,
but the winters are very pleas
ant most of the time. This
winter the temperature was
down to 40 below and many
days 60 below.
Big wild game is quite plen-
tiful. Thousands of deer and
many moose are killed every
winter. Just in front of me is
the head and horns of a moose
that was killed in the cedar
swamps here last winter. The
horns are 5 feet 2 inches from
tip to tip and the moose from
which it was taken weighed
1860 pounds. The Indians here
will guarantee any hunter to
get a moose for $40 any time
when the snow is deep. One
of the Indians will go with the
hunter and find the moose and
let him shoot him. The cedar
sWamps here are so thick with
cedar poles that | cannot see
how these monster head of
horns that the moose carry can
be got through the swamps, but
they certainly do.
The country abounds with
fine lakes of good size, and fish
say Bob, | do not know
whether should say anything
about fish and fishing for fear
Fensler or Deur might question
my truthfulness on this sub
ject, but | am going to say it
anyhow if there was not 5000
pounds of wall eyed pike and
pickerel caught out of Black
duck Lake here yesterday by
the business men of this town
| will surrender all claims for
truthfulness. never saw the
equal. | saw fish on the scales
caught by two parties in a skiff
in less than two hours weighing
over 100 pounds. They range
in size from one to four pounds.
Blackduck Lake is about one
mile wide and 18 or 20 miles
long and as fine a body of water
as you could wish to see. 1t is
skirted right down to the
waters edge with the native
forest trees, cedar, pine, balm
gilead, birch and spruce, which
watt their soft, fragrant per-
fumes across the lake. There
are two launches on the lake
and many small skiffs. 1t
makes me feel like | had a new
lease on life up here, breathing
the balsam-laden, crisp Mime
sofa air, but | hardly think |
would want to stay here for a
steady thing too many stumps
in the streets of the town too
close to the woods, as the town
is simply in a hole chopped in
the wood.
| have been visiting the sew
eral cedar pole yards today and
to one not familiar to seeing
the like it looks as though there
were enough telephone poles in
the yards here to last the States
for 20 years, but they will all
be gone and sold in six months,
as all of the yards are loading
out as fast as they can get the

The Mems Club Meeting.

|
Last night, just as the storm
was coming on, this meeting
was held. The audience was
fine in quality, though the
quantity was lessened by the
ruin.
Mr.. Frank Harris piano solo
made an enjoyable opening.
The Missouri Valley people are
proud of this young friend who,
after hard years of study at
home and abroad, has achieved
such success. We can appre-
ciate him just as we'll as the
New York folks do-if we
haven't got as much money.
The paper of Mr.. j. S. Nc
Gavren on "The Education
Needed for the Twentieth Cen
tury" set the ball a-rolling for
a lively debate. Everybody
enjoyed it for its comprehension
of the question and it's wise
suggestions.
Superintendent Beveridge in
his easy, off hand, pleasant way,
uttered his thought on what
suited Western people we'll in
the development of the minds
entrusted to the teachers care.
He was followed by Mr..
Amen of Phillips Exeter Aca1-
emy, whose large experience
makes him man who may we'll
be listened to. His chief
thought was on the training of
the will, so that pupils would
study strenuously in order to
achieve results, even when
work was neither easy nor con-
genial, and take pleasure in
success. Mr.. Sniff followed.
He is always an entertaining
speaker, and as an old leader in
educational matters he had
words to the point.
Mr.. MacAllister confined his
remarks to a single point the
necessity of having the Bible
in the public school. Education
of our century should develope
the whole man his physicals
mental and moral nature and
it should be borne in mind that
man is made for two worlds.
The Bible is needed for the
moral development and the
eternal welfare. 1t is the Book
that has made our people what
they are.
Mr.. Hosbrooll was called for
but declined to speak at length.
Mr.. Dewell showed his training
as a lawyer able to think on
his feet. He made a running
comment on the previous speak
ers and their views, which was
enjoyed by all.
DR.. Colt, as chairman, brought
the discussion to a happy con-
clusion.
All expressed themselves as
we'll pleased with the airing
which the various views had
received. Such a meeting must
lead to more interest in our
excellent public schools.
A little life may be sacrificed

It's tiresome enough to be
pestered by itinerant peddlers,
who have to peddle for a living,
but it's maddening to be
constantly drummed by your
fellow townspeople, who, in too

hawk their wares from door to

hood. Manson seems to be
