WANT THE LOGS.

J. A. Nichols of the Nichols Ohis-
holm Lumber Co.. of Frazee. has
submitted proposition to Agent
Michelet and Supt. Farr to take all
the logs which were left in the woods
on this reservation during the past
winters operations, for the same
price as those he purchased under his
bids recently, and agrees to immedi-
ate!y pay for the labor OF placing
them On skids, says the White Earth
Tomahavk. He also agrees to give
the loggers the further chance of
try ing to recover their losses from
the past winters unfavorable opera
lions, by allowing them to hanl the
logs to landings next season for q
good. fair price.
Supt. Farr favored making the
contra ct ors pay for the logs they
left in the woods, but this is clearly
80 unfair that none of the members
of this reservation seem to favor 1T,
and they feel that inasmuch as thu
contractors are all members of thu
reservation and the unfaverablt
weather having been the cause Of
their failure to haul the logs, it wouli
be unreasonable to compel them to DAY
for them.

IRON AT DffRW00D
Duluth Concern Will Soon
Start Looking for
Ore

The following is taken from the
Duluth News Tribune:
n. B. Blackwood, president of the
Mineral Lands and Mining company,
was in West Duluth yesterday. He
purchased the house and land at 414
North Fifty. second avenue west and
will move there as soon a the house
is renovated.
speaking of the company which
was recently recognized he said it
will install drill on it's land in Crow
Wing county near the village of Deer
wood within two weeks. The COM
pany own several thousands of acres
in this tract which il situated imme-
diately west of the Adam developed
land and he is confident high grade
of ore will be found.
manganese and iron are the met
ais that will be sought for and 1t IL
the former upon which he is relying
for the greatest returns. Should good
manganese mines be developed the
company will pay little attention tc
the iron.
The way in which I first learned
of tho presence of manganese on these
lands was a curious one, said Mr..
Blackwood. 4 was driving over the
land and stopped at farmhouse
where the farmer was propping up hif
barn with blocks of mansnese. Tht
company as formed and we bought
the land.
mining operations in this section
are considerably less expensive thar
in the generality of cases. A drill hal
been run in this section with q full
crew for $500, This is unusual
I have followed all the indications by
which Ole may go In matters of THU
kind and if there is not ore in thi!
section then it is one of the vagarie'
OF nature that is to blame and no
our calculation. -

Last week the Breeders bill was

more than a thousand dollars, or BY

less than sixty days nor more than a

The governor had sent more thanone
message to the legislature upon this
subject and was strongly IN favor Of
making pool selling a felony He
threatened to call a special session Of

1t isn't often that one finds q
good story in a book Of science,
but here is one from j. G. MillaiS'
mammals of Great Britain and
Ireland:" In 1886 there lived At
AberdOur, on the estuary Of tie
Forth, a remarkable old sea cal.
tain, who possessed an extraordin.
airy power in tanning wild birds
and animals. A friend in Edin.
burg who knew him stated that
the old gentleman was usually tOI

streets followed by a flock of ca.

mud flats and took it to the sea cap.

success that the poor creature
became a perfect nuisance. The
seal would go every morning into
the estuary and hunt for fish and
then make its way home over the
mud up to the house, at the door of

its fore-fippers. It's f%avorite rest

A boat was hired; the captain

apparently had not the smallest

The seal swan around the boat a

kind-hearted old sea dog turned
his boats head hOmeward, con-
WINGED that he would never see his
amphibious friend again. A sur.
prise, however, was in store, for
when he opened his cottage doorit
was to hear his wife's voice raised
in anger; there was the seal on the
