Considerable wood, stove length
exclusively, and short at both
ends" has been brought to town
lately but did not find quick sale
either owing to the warm weather,
the general use of coal, or from the
high price asked.
1t has been fine weather up TO
Thanksgiving and many are pre-
dieting an "open winter" Six
years ago the first snow fell Nov.
Is and there was one long stretch of
sleighing that lasted 100 days with
continuous severe cold all the while.
If signs" are reliable we shall
have mild winter. One of these
signs" claimed to be a certain
forecaster of mild weather for the
coming winter, is the thinness of
hogs melt" If this is thick in
the fall the winter will be very cold;
if very thin the winter will be ex-
ceptionally mild.
E. Buck, Superintendent of the
electric light system, has converted
some of the surplus water power at

way through a stick of wood as
quickly as it is brought in contact
with it!
On account of failing health Mar
tin Olson has decided to close his
mercantile business to the regret of
his many friends. Mr.. Olson has
been a factor in the business inter-

many years he conducted the cloth
ing department of the Burhyte store
before going into the grocery bust
ness for himself.
Humane societies in several cities
are stopping the use of salt upon
sidewalks from the fact that it &C.
casions great suffering to dogs and
other animals by causing their feet
to freeze by the intense cold en-
gendered by the mixing of ice, snow
and salt. The brine also tends to
ruin the leather and rubber on foot
ware, which is another reason why
it should not be used, and it is also
very damaging to cement walks

The Globe made a good fight and
is largely responsible for the cleo
ton of Johnson. | am frank to say
that there was no abuse or villifca-
ton of Mr.. Dunn in The Globe. It
took smart advantage of the news
as it transpired, but | saw no sign
of personal abuse. 1t would not be
too much to say that no better news
paper campaign has been made in
this state in years than was made
by The Globe in the governorship
contest, and, although l regret the
result, 1 do congratulate The Globe
on the fight it made.-F. C. Stevens
