BACKUS-BR0OKS SELLS
Weverhaeuser Syndicate
BUYS a Big Minneapolis
Saw Mill

The Northland Pine Co., Weyer-
haeuer concern, has bought one OF the
large Minneapolis sawmills. The fol-
lowing ia from the Minneapolis Jour.
nal:
The transaction, aside from being
one of unusual magnitude in the lum-
Der world, Is of vast benefit to Mime
apolis, as IL insures the steady opera
ton of the plant for ten or twelve
years more, as the purchasing COM
pany controls some of the most extern
eive pine holdings in the state, tribu'
tary to the Mississippi river. The
Bsckus- Brooks log supply tributary to
Minneapolis would probably be ex-
hausted IN three seasons, at the rate
the mill has been cutting in recent
years. The benefit to the working
people dependent on the saving indus
try for their livelihood is appreciated
in North Minneapolis, where the pen
dency of the deal has been known
for some time, and eagerly discussed.
The Northland Pine company is one
of the Weyerhaeuser concerns and an
extensive owner Of pine lands.
Everything owned by the Backus-
Brooks company is included in the
transfer except its pine lands and
stumpage in northern Minnesota. The
company owned what Is considered
one of the most modern equipped saw
mills on the Mississippi river, 81 it
is also one Of the largest. The plant
also includes q large and fully
equipped planning mill, booms. docks
and warehouses, an Office building,
stables and thirty acres Of land at
Thirty second avenue north between
Second street and the river. In addi-
tiou 1t had large quantity of logs in
the Mississippi river and tributary
streams, all of which go with the
plant and will enable the new owners
to make an early start.
When running at its full capacity
the plant requires upward of 500 men
and it is understood that this number
will be steadily employed during the
coming seasons, az the company will
operate the plant night and day. The
new owners will take over the entire
operating staff.
William F. Brooks. of the Backus'
Brooks company, when seen today ad'
mitted that the sale had been made
bnt declined to give the details. HI

A SCHEME WHICH WILL HARDLY
WORK.

WORK.
st. Cloud Times: The latest pro-
position in the base ball line is to
have st. Cloud and Little Falls 60
together and organize, and have the
citizens of the two cities contribute
an equal amount for team. Thus If
st. Cloud raises $500 and Little Falls
an equal amount. the home games can
be divided between the Two towns and
the burden of having to support the
team In long series be divided. Lit
tie Falls has ball park and all she
lacks is the incentive. The Times puts
the proposition up to the people Of
Little Falls on the suggestion of local
citizens who are determined to see st.
Cloud make good In the Northern
league. It IL hoped the matter will
receive Immediate attention at Little
Falls and the local men interested be
communicated with.

SCIENCE AND MANUFACTURE
American manufactures have re-
ceived so much praise lately that a
little adverse criticism will do no
harm. A noted English chemist says
American manufacturers and business
men have given too little attention to
the progress made by science and
that, in this respect, the English and
the Germans have far excelled them.
This, however. does not apply to the
manufacture of golden grain belt beer
in which we lead the world. It has
taken years of careful study and
thought to perfect this brew, but to-
day you get 1t in all It's purity and
healthfulness, without doubt the most
perfect food tonic 9, or produced. Or
