A New Industry.

A business comparatively new to
northern Minnesota is the getting out
of ships timber for the building of
ocean vessels at Atlantic points. The
industry started but few years ago
in this state and is increasing with
each year, because timber of the pro-
per sort is lacking in the states to the
east. E. c. Edgerly, representing a
shipbuilding firm at Auburn, Maine,
says:
''We do not bother with the mast
and regular long construction timber,
but devote our attention to getting out
corner braces and for this purpose it
is necessary to use the roots of trees,
the main trunk, aside from a foot or
two at the butt, not being called into
use at all Tamarack is best suited for
the purpose, and as the stumps of trees
are as suitable as the trees themselves,
provided the roots are intact, there is
an almost unlimited field here in Min
nesota for us to work in. All we have
to do is to follow in the tracks of the
tie cutter and use what they leave.
The stump, or portion of it; is taken
from the ground, and the crooked
piece is then hued into shape, later be-
ing hauled to railroad and shipped to
Auburn, Maine, where it goes through
planning mill and is made ready for
th, market'

Manufactures at the Fair.

g.
One of the Important features Of the
state fair of 1905 will be the depart
ment of Minnesota Manufactures This
year the exhibit will be broadened in
order that all Minnesota manufacturers
may take space and exhibit their prod
ucts, although preference will be given
for ''live exhibits" that is, exhibits
showing process of manufactured either
of the entire article or of some part of
the goods exhibi
This decision is the result of recent
conference between William E. Lee,
superintendent of the manufactures
building, and committee of the
Northwestern Manufacturers associa-
tion.
The association will cooperate with
Mr.: Lee in bringing out good show,
and it is expected that the building
will be well filed with interesting and
instructive exhibits. No charge is
made either for space or power, and
each exhibitor will be furnished with
free admission to the fair grounds for
himself and the person in charge of
the exhibit. At night the building
will be we'll lighted, and it is expected
that no less than 25o,0oo people will
visit it during fair week. This will
offer an exceptional opportunity to
manufacturers to bring their goods to
the attention of the people of the
Northwest.

Will nave been put into the background
the undesirable stockyard notoriety.
Financiers, experts on street paving,
architects, sociologists, university pro-
fessors, men, women and children are
engaged in the movement; it is NO
passing fad; the earnest minds OF the
town have the altruism and the energy
to keep at the task for years.
A constant stream Of visitors, men
of all sorts and conditions, flows in
and out of the rooms of the Municipal
museum at the library, where are on
view exhibits of many different de-
partments of municipal matters Ere.
quent illustrated lectures are given at
the noon hour, when business men
may come to have their eyes opened
concerning what Chicago needs in the
way of municipal reforms, to become
acquainted with victories won in other
cities School children are brought
down in relays, and though the i'm
preston got by them doubtless is more
or less vague, yet they must absorb
something in the way of improved
ideals of city life. @
Local organizations are forming for
the institution of spring street clean
ing in their respective districts. An
appeal has been made that the GUS
tom of throwing hand bills far and
wide be put stop to, asserted, a
fact that no one can question, that
much of the disorder of Chicago is
due to the waste paper blown hither
and yon by the wild prairie winds.

To Raise Lake LeVal.

The Itasca state park commission,
composed of the governor and the at
torney general, had a conference with
Mr.. Bullard, uperintendent of the
park A number of the property
owners on the lake had asked to have
the level of the lake raised so that
they could float their logs. Mr.. Blu IL
lard stated that the lake is now con-
siderably below it's normal level and to
raise it eighteen inches would do no
harm to the state reservation. There
is a dam below the lake and the level
can thus easily be raised. The appli-
cation was granted.

probable that the hurried person, how
ever, did not take time to stop and
inquire who had brought about this de-
sirable state of affairs, whether indi-
vidual enterprise or awakened munic-
ipal authorities were responsible for
the reform. II
The work has been done and the
glory belongs to those two organiza-
tions, the Merchants club and the
Commercial club. Last spring they
started joint campaign to take away
at least in small but much journeyed-
over portion the city's reproach for
being the uncleanest of the big towns.
And what they have accomplished has,
as we have said, impressed even the
most careless.
At banquet held recently by the
two clubs, past and future work was
discussed, and fluctuations made on re-
suits accomplished. One of the mem
bers thus reviewed the experiment un-
dertaken by the clubs: I'VE have
demonstrated that the downtown
streets can be kept clean, thus min
imizing the dust on windy days and
the mud in rainy weather. We under
took this work for one year in order
to make practical test of the mat
ter, and we can now go before the
city officials and the people with every
detail perfected" This speaker told
how the money had been raised, that
the financial side had been solved in
a satisfactory manner.
In this crusade for cleanliness, every
day three and One-half miles of street
and one and one-half miles of alley
has been swept, and swept by hand. a
much more thorough method than
when machines are used The district
is bounded by La Sale, Van Buren,,
and Madison streets, and the lake, and
in the principal shopping thorough
fare, State street, the cleaning having
extended as far north as the river.
At the banquet, stereopticon pictures
were shown of Chicago before and
after,' and if proof was needed the
photographs gave it.
All honor to the Merchants club
and the Commercial club.

St. Petersburg, April 1O-There is
reason to believe that Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky's entrance into the China
sea has been followed by orders for
the cruisers Gromobol, Rossia and Bo-
gatyr, which have been ready for some
time at Vladivostok, to put to sea.
Whether it is the intention to send
them south Immediately or to hold
them in the vicinity of Vladivostok is
not known.
Their appearance outside the road
stead of Vladivostok would constitute
a potential threat against Admiral To-
go's rear which will compel the reten-
tion in or dispatch of lumber of
heavy fighting ships back to Japanese
waters.
Thus Admiral Togo seems to be vir-
tually placed between two fires.

constables in collecting debts have

it is a lawful claim or not. BY back

tins suffer at the hands of the con-
stables, the Chronicle recently gave an
illustration of the way small debts in
crease in size when taken in hand by
these men who make a business of
guarding the interests of a certain
class of creditors. The Chronicle says:
"Woe betide the poor family that re-
ceives visit from a constable levying

the debt was only few dollars or Was
not just debt at ALL But the court
costs will be $50. Then will come
the fee for execution, not less than
$1.50. Next will be exacted the con-
stables charge for custodian services,
81 for every day or fraction of day.
When all the fees are betrayed the
original small debt or claim will have
increased to colossal dimensions-from
81 to not less than $12, and possibly
$780," Violence as we'll as extortion

Newport News, Va, April 1O.-The

At exactly 1928 the last stroke of
the saws WHICH severed the restraining
blocks was heard, and the ship began
to move down the ways.
Miss Schaller, at the word of Presi-
dent Orcutt seizing in both hands the
bottle of American champagne, dashed
it against the red bows of the ship and
said in clear voice:
Il christen thee Minnesota"
Then she and her maids of honor.

form, began to cheer and applaud
