n large percentage Of the sickness
among school children, DR. T. NJ. Hall
thinks, is due to the presence in schoo!

tine list and therefore the children af-
fected with them have not been kept
at home. Dr. c. NJ. Jordan has now
issued orders that such pupils be dis
missed.

The Northland Pine company has
purchased the Minneapolis plant of
the Backus- Brooks Lumber company
at Thirty-second avenue north and the
river. This includes thirty acres Of
land and one of the most modern saw
mill plants in Minneapolis. The Back:
us-Brooks people sell all their holdings,
except pine lands and stumpage in
northern Minnesota, which will be
milled in some other locality. The
Northland Pine company is Wey-
erhaeuser concern and owns a large
amount of pine on waters tributary to
the Mississippi river and this pine will
be milled in Minneapolis. for arrange
ments have been made to place the
mill in commission as soon as it will
be possible to begin work in the spring.
The Backus- Brooks pine holdings
tributary to the Minneapolis mill have
been all but exhausted, and for this
reason the sale was an advisable
move on it's part. When the mill is in
full operation it employs about 500
men.
