and Japan was fought, the conclusion OF
which practically settled that war.
The establishment of this enterprise
is very likely to influence the lumber
trade of China to some extent, but more
particularly in Manchuria and North
China. am inclined to the opinion that
it will not seriously affect the trade in
central China.
In addition to this competition-which
Is already supplying large quantities Of
timber and lumber to Port Arthur,
Dalny any Niuchwang and to the Chi
nese Eastern railway-the Russians are
now shipping to all of these places by
steamer from Vladivostock and vicin-
ity and the Island of Sakhalin large
quantities of lumber
This lumber is Of a rather inferior
quality compared with the Yalu lumber;
it Is harder, coarser grained. warps and
twists badly. and is difficult to work.
Compared with the Yalu timber 1t is
about like the Norway pine compared
with the white pine. 1t is, in fact, very
much like the poor grade of Norway
pine.
Another point Of competition in the
lumber business is developing on the
Sungari river, where the Chinese East
ern railway crosses it, about so miles
south of Hardin. Timber in consider
able quantities is run down this river
to this point and is being made into
lumber by the Chinese method, several
hundred men being engaged in the
work. l am of the opinion that lumber
from this source will never reach the
sea in competition for the trade Of
China, but it will be splendid source Of
supply for railway use and for the city
of Hardin.
Hardin is only three years old. but 1t
is one of the greatest stiles of Asia, and
has the largest European population of
any Asiatic city, containing 10000 Rus
SLAMS. besides the soldiers. At Hardin
there are two small sawmilis cutting
timber from the Sungari river coming
from below the city. On the railway
line between Hardin and Vlad!vostock.
there are two large sawmills, the ma
chinery for which cost, in place, ST, $50.

graft of Greenbush, Roseau county,
charged with operating ''still' with
out license
About two weeks ago two men,
farmers residing in the vicinity OF
Greenbush, died suddenly. Examina-
tions showed that death was the result
of imbibing too freely of an intensely
strong whisky which contained more
than the average amount OF alcohol.
This discovery aroused suspicion there
was illicit distillery going on and the
officials of ST. Paul were notified.
Suspicion led to an investigation, and
few rods from the home of lame
graft there was found buried in the
snow home made still which looked
as if it had been in service for several
years.

almost impossible to get long timbers
from this district. The Chinese in their
native affairs seldom use any but shor
timbers, and all the timber cut for Chi
nese consumption is cut into short
lengths in the forests.
Up to the present the logs from this
section have been cut into lumber by
the whipsaw method, the natives using

Russians have charge of the sawmills
they have introduced large and heavy

These mills are engaged in cutting lum-
Der at present for the railway and for
the town of Hardin.
1t is clear that Russia intendssto pro-
vide for all the requirements of lum-
Der in Manchuria and Siberia, with a
possibility of entering the Chinese mar
ket.
The government has established
ruling that all railway and government
supplies must be purchased from the
Russian companies if possible. This is
encouraging many industries in Man
churia, of which the lumber industry is
one.
The recent purchase of considerable
quantities of lumber from the United
States was due to the haste in. providing
quarters for Russia's army in Man
churia
The railway will require many ties,
or sleepers, as these decay very fast,
many having to be replaced before the
railroad is completed. This is due to the
fact that the railway is not yet ballast
ed and the ties are laid deep in the earth
and sand, not even the ends being ex-
posed to the air. These ties are now
coming in considerable quantities from
Siberia and Japan, and I do not believe
it possible for the United States to COM
pete for the trade.
The Russians are familiar with the
lumber, wheat and -four business, and as
they have the natural advantages and the
earnest support of their banks. railways
and government throughout Manchuria,
l am convinced that their development
of these industries is likely to soon close
this market to the United States in these
products, and if they show intense en-
ergy and enterprise they will become Sc
we're competitors in the great markets
of China for flour, especially, and pos
sibly for lumber.
There is none of the lumber that
have yet seen equal to the Oregon pine,
but much of it is good enough for the
common markets of China. and will be
accepted for most purposes.

and it has been the source of supply for
both this and the Tientsin markets for
ages.
The ocean and river junks are built
OF this timber, hewn out in large pieces,
often three feet or more in width. There
are about $4,000 of these junks trading
at Niuchwang. The timber is mostly
pine, very much like the white pine of
the United States. This is the best quail
ity of lumber that / have seen in China
The percentage of clear wood is not very
large.
There is also considerable fir, usual
~ much smaller than the pine, and also
a timber similar to our tamarack. These
are the three varieties from the Yalu
district that have seen. 1t is brought
into Niuchwang and the other markets
of China on junks. These junks, when
coming to Niuchwang usually sail in
fleets as a means of protection against
pirates, who often board them near the
mouth of the river and rob them or levy
tribute on them.

n one OF the direct causes OF
the present controversy be-
tween Japan and Russia, and the same
franchises are of more than passing in
terest in the United States fer the rea-
son that it foreshadows new compe-
tition for Pacific coast lumber in the
Tar east. A rapidly increasing trade in
Oregon pine and hemlock has been de-
veloped in Manchuria and other Chinese
provinces. The same is true in the
eastern provinces of Siberia, and the
coming of this new competition will
scarcely be reEShed by the lumbermen of
the Pacific coast.
The Russian Timber & Mining Com
pany of the Far East, as the new COM
pany is called, has its headquarters at
Port Arthur. This company is organ
ICED by some of the most prominent men
connected with the Russian govern
ment, and is reputed to have a capital
of SIC, 100000. Its principal operations
will be on the Yalu river, where it runs
down timber from the forests of Corea
as well as the large forests of Man
churia.
These forests are very extensive and
contain immense quantities of exceed
ingly fine timber. There is much fine

Black Is always smart in the city,

uninteresting. Always remember
when selecting a black dress, which
of course, none of us can afford to be
without, that it must be good black.
Personally, for the short walking skirt

dull red, brown where it suits, or a
Harris tweed mixture.

the lace veil over the face will con-

Children's frocks are perhaps as much

They should never be deliberately

satin gown and a grannie bonnet are
charming for a little one of from
three to five years old on full dress oc-
casions; but for the girl little older.

clude waistbelt), and so short as to
be quite safe from catching the feet, is
the best design.
Caters are a capital institution for

are made of cloth and buttoned up are
obviously the smartest; but for coun-

Velveteen is an excellent material
for child's afternoon dress, to put on

most children are allowed to be seen

an artistic costume, and the material

it is to be had in exquisite colorings.

Rabbits Moved Down.

Abram Wister, a farmer who lives
near Cannon Falls, learned that a
large number of jack rabbits were in
the habit of visiting an open spring on
his place to get drink. To get to the
spring they had to cross strip OF Ice
thirty feet wide, and while drinking,
to stand on the ice Immediately about
the spring. In a circle around the
open water and extending out about
ten feet from it Mr.. Wister scattered
salt which thawed the ice on the surface
and kept it thawed, tho the temporal
ure was thirty degrees below zero.
When the rabbits came to drink their
feet were wet by the water on the sur
face of the ice, where the salt was, SO
that when they stepped on the clear
ice beyond the salt they froze fast In a
moment and stayed in that position
until Mr. Wister raped them on the
heads and moved them loose with
scythe
