timber of the whole 200, 900 acres is

In the meantime the bureau has
performed it's duty under the law
carefully, and as expeditiously as
possible. 1t located the reserve on
the head waters of the Mississippi,
where it will most effectively serve
its function. The location of the
6, 400 acres comprising the ten Sec
tons reserved from sale or settle
ment is also conceded to be the
most advantageous possible. The
agents of the bureau have more
than half finished marking the five
per cent. of trees to be left on the
first selection, and in this work
will easily keep ahead of the lum-
bering under the sales that have
been made.
With the question of what further
equitable claims against the gov
eminent the Indians may have, the
bureau of forestry of course has
nothing to do. Whether the large
cash advance already made to the
Chippewas will be considered an
Offset in whole or in part against
the value of the lands now with
drawn from them is a question for
congress to decide. The policy
followed in the past justiies the
anticipation that the Chippewas
will be amply remunerated for these
lands and the small five per cent. OF
timber on them that the govern
ment has now reserved for it's own
use. Already under the Morris act
Of 1902 they are receiving for their
timber alone more than both the
timber and the land would have
brought them under the law of 1889.
This is true not only of the 225, 200
acres in the reserve, but of the
whole forested part of their 3,O0O,-
600 acres of coded land. In addi-
ton their forests are protected
from damage by fire as never before.

Sugar Reet Statistics.

According to q report on the sugar
beet industry for 1908, the crop of 1908
amounted to a little more than 2s000,-
600 tons harvested from 242,576 acres,
the average yield being about eight and
one-half tons to the acre. The prices
which the farmers received for beets
from the different factory companies
ranged from $3.50 to $500 per ton, the
average being nearly So. The average
gross returns to the farmers were
therefore $3.50 per acre. The esti-
mated cost of growing beets by irriga-
ton is $40 per acre, and in sections
where irrigation is not necessary $50.
If $35 be taken as the average for the
whole crop Of 1908 the average net
profit to the farmers was $3.50 per
acre. In some Of the sugar beet areas
the returns were very much higher
than this general average. The best
result on record for 1903 was secured
by farmer of Otero county, Colo. He
grew one acre of sugar beets at a cost
of about $3.50; the yield of beets was
thirty three tons, for which he received
$15S, his net returns being about $3.50

The Kansas wheat Crop.

A statement by the Kansas state
board of agriculture, based upon re-
turns from the assessors and from the
growers, gives the yield of winter
wheat as 63, 421, 156 bushels, or an aver
age of slightly less than eleven bushels
per acre on the entire area sown, which
was 5,816,395 acres. While 80 per
cent smaller than Kansas world record
breaking crop Of 1903, this yield Is IL
per cent greater than the states an
nual average In the ten years ending
with 1903.
According to the growers estimates
something near 10 per cent, or 45,O0O,-
600 bushels, Is 'of good, merchantable
quality" and the remainder more or
less damaged by excessive rains at and
after harvest time.
Spring wheat is a constantly dimin-
fishing factor in Kansas agriculture,
and in the past decade its area has de
creased ~ per cent. being in 1904 only
1927 acres.

BEST, YET LOST.
Winthrop News. J

The basket ball game between
Red wood Falls and our high school
team last Saturday was the most ex-
citing ever played in our city.
Although our girls we're defeated
they put up the game that would
make the visitors look like Gloomy
Gus if they were given a chance to
meet the Red wood Falls team again.
1t was evident from the time the
visitors arrived in our city that
they wished our girls would play
according to made up rules rather
than Spalding's. When consider
ing the fact that this is the first
game our girls have.played except
ing one player, and the visitors
have played eight games this year
without defeat, we can congratu-
late ourselves upon the showing
made by our team, and we feel con-
fident that they will give an &C
count of themselves before the sea-
son is oyer. The game was called
at 7 p. m. and Winthrop won the
toss up, choosing the east goal. The
game was spirited and it was evi
dent that the team work of the
locals was far In adv zee of the op-
ponents. Our players passed the
ball with sWiftness and accuracy
and soon made a basket from the
field. It looked as though our girls
would score an easy victory as the
ball was kept in Winthrop's terri
tory most all the time. Just before
time was called both sides fouled
and Redwood Falls scored one free
throw, while Miss Klossner failed.
Score, Winthrop 4, Redwood Falls
/ at end of first half.
Winthrop made one basket from
, field during the first half which did
not count, as the umpire blew his
whistle while the ball was in the
air, calling foul on visitors, Dur
ing the second half neither side
scored from the field and both sides
played fast. Fouls were numerous
and here the locals were outplayed
in making free throws, Redwood
Falls scoring on FIVE free throws,
while Winthrop failed in three at
teupts, losing the game by the
above score.

A Starke county Qnd.) physician tells
this story on himself: After writing a

Candidates Visit Us,

On Friday Afternoon last Virginia
was honored by the presence of
Congressman Bede, accompanied
by Robert c. Dunn, who would be
pleased to sign his name as chief
executive of the state of Minnesota.
The party came in on special
over the Iron Range road, in a pri.

Dunn's enemies corporations

ginia City Band and delegation

MAY Be Better.

During brief stop in the city on
Tuesday President Olcott, of the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern, in con-
versaton with the Enterprise scribe,
expressed hope that the steel cor
poration would be doing more work
in the Virginia district another
year.
We all sincerely hope so, but in
the meantime rest secure in the
knowledge that Virginia is sur.
rounded by the largest body of ore
of any city in the iron district, and
that some day it must be removed.
And when work is commenced in
the Virginia district by the
big corporation Virginia is des-
tined to double in size in a years
time.

Wants S., 900 Damages.

Charles W. Sines has entered suit
in district court against the Duluth,
Missabe & Northern Railway COM
pany in the sum of 5000, for injur-
les allegedly received through the
carelessness of employees of the
company. Sines was braking on an
ore train in August last, and claims
that while walking along the top of
train at the Burt mine, near Hib-
bling, the train was started sudden
ly and without warning, throwing
him to the ground. By the fall he
received a fractured leg, sprained
wrist;and injuries to his hands.

4 S0Cialistie Talk.

A gentleman named kirkpatrick
addressed large meeting at the
Fay Opera on Tuesday evening in
behalf of the Public Ownership
ticket and the principles of that or
ganization.
His address is spoken of as a
masterful effort, and members of
the local organization of the party
assert that several new converts
were added to their ranks by rea-
son of his method of handling the
subject.

tell how he used to be compelled to

school to visit the school.,na'am, no
matter how good-lookin' the afore-

In the reception accorded the
visitors much credit is due Judge
Nelson, Republican committeeman,
and it is doubtful if more euthusi-
astic reception was found at any
other cities of the iron ranges.
AS to the change of opinion of
voters that may have accrued from
the visit of Mr.. Dunn to the city we
will defer an opinion until after
November 8th; and after that date
it is doubtful if Mr.. Dunn will care
whether or not we have an opinion
on the subject.

4 CHEAP AGGREGATION.
Such is the Estimate of the Local
SQUAD of the Two tiabors Team.


Squad of the Two Habors Team.
The actions of the Two Harbors

tempt to get a game with the Roose-
welt Highs and the manner in
which the crew from the lake shore
have flunked on the proposition
when offered an opportunity on two
occasions thus far for the season,
has reused the ire of the local
bunch and their estimate of thcTwo
Harborites is succinctly expressed
in the headline of this article.
Not only the method of their
flunking has conduced to the deci-
sion, but other circumstances have
One such incident is the fact that
on Friday last Manager Bonner. of
Roosevelt Highs, wired Two Har-
bors in attempt to get a game on
for Saturday, paying his telegram.
When the refusal OF the PROPOSE
ton received it came collect, and
Mr.. Bonner was compelled to pay
both ends of the play.
The local boys are getting onto
the curves of the Harborites, but it
is safe to wager that an evening up
of the score, with interest, will be
the result of the first time the two
teams meet on the gridiron.

Enjoyed a Game Supper.

A number of the young lady
school-ma ans, together with few
invited friends, enjoyed delicious
outdoor game supper on Tuesday
afternoon at the Sauntry, the menu
comprising three fine ducks and
other game "swiped" from the
apartments of Attorney Poirier in
the Bank Block on Halloween
night.
Attorney Poirier, however, was
destined to cut in on the deal, and
accompanied by Cashier Peet of the
American Exchange Bank, ran onto
the crowd while out hunting and
assisted the party to make merry.

Need Have No Fear.

The old story of the "playiny out"
of Mesaba ore bodies has again
been sprung, this time being &C.
credited TO Wall street source.
But the manufacturers or users
of steel need have no fear for
short time at least. Within two
miles of Virginia proven ore bodies
show the existence of upwards of a
quarter billion tons of hidden
wealth, enough to supply the trade
for half the lite of the average
mortal. After that our successors
may go to Utah or anywhere else
they wish for their ore supply.

Will Organize Jewish Sababth School.

At meeting at korby Hall on
Sunday evening, attended by a
large number of the Jewish people
of this city and Eveleth, the Rev.
DIR. Silver, of Duluth, delivered an
interesting lecture upon the neces-
sity of establishing a Sabbath School
at this point. Other speakers of
the evening were Mr.. S. Sax, of Eve
leth, and Julius Shanedling, of this
city, H. ]. Williamson acting as
chairman of the meeting.
The business element of the
ranges contains large number of
Jewish people who desire that their
children may be brought up in the
faith of their fore-fathers. and the
establishment of the Sabbath
School, the first in the history of
the ranges, was practically decided
upon.

Improving the Streets.

The continued rains of the early
autumn left the streets of the city
in the worst condition ever known,
compelling the council to provide
for the removal of a large amount
of clay and refuse which had been
drawn on and accumulated upon
the main thoroughfare. The work,
done during the past week, was
greatly facilitated by the use of
road machine, put on by Ed
Edholm, general agent for the Ma
tional Drill & Manufacturing Co.,
of Chicago. The machine certainly
does its work and does it right, and
would be of much value to any
township or community having an
amount of road work to be done.
The price of the machine is given
as $275OO

WILL FIGHT FOR VIRGINIA SILVER.
Pearl II. Smith, Of Superior, VIII
Contest the Mabel Evans Lease.

Pearl H. Smith, of Superior, on
Monday made application to State
Auditor Iverson for the lease, he
accompanying it with the lawful
fee of $50. His application was re-
jected, and the inference is that the
courts will be appealed to.
The lease already stands in the
name of Mabel Evans and others,
and while Smith did not make his
intentions plain, it is generally un-
derstood that he only wanted TO be
refused that he might ask the
courts to investigate.
The Virginia Silver mineral lease
bears the number 1882, on the audit
or's records, and is the one called
attention to by Public Examiner
Johnson in late report, charging
the employees of the office, under
former State Auditor Dunn, with
cornering valuable ore leases. Mrs.
Evans is sister of I. c. Patterson,
and the lease was issued in her
name, while Patterson was in
charge of this particular depart
ment. Smith, who now asks for the
lease, on the ground that it is un-
lawfully in the possession of Mrs.
Evans, was the defendent in the
original litigation involving the
strip. He squatted on it when the
ground had little value, and fought
the attempt of the state to Dust him,
on the ground that it was included
in the original grant of United
States swamp lands to Minnesota.
