ARE SELLING MIXED TIMBER
"Method Not Right" Said q Prominent
Lumberman To-day to Evening
Times Man.

Since the recent speech by Governor
johnson in this city the pine reserves
Of the state have come into the public
eye. e
ut looks to me as though some of
the higher bidders for state timber
Mt the recent sale in st. Paul will lose
money as a result OF their bids" said
Clyde M. Mckay, of Aitkin, Mimi, to
an Evening Times representative to-
day. THE method Of selling mixed
timber with the pine is not right
Many Of the lumbermen are not &C
customed to buying and operating in
mixed timber and are not prepared
to dispose of 1t to advantage. The
men who have made business of pine
only are at manifest disadvantage,
and they should not be compelled to
bid on the other kinds Of timber in
order to get possession of the pine.
THE sale the other day is said to
have been satisfactory. and il this is
true the same methods will probably
be employed at future sales. 1t was
shown at the sale that the Minnesota
G International and Northern Pacific
railroads will not haul logs except for
industries along their lines. Unless
the railway commission insists o..
these roads making rates on logs for
everybody, competition will be kept
out of that territory. The state has
about 100000 feet of timber tribu-
tary to these roads,"

an ENORMOUS CROWD
Expected to Turn Out to Football
Game Tomorrow Afternoon
Grafton Strong,

East Grand Forker's are now eager
~ awaiting the advent of the Grafton
football team into the city. The East
Grand Forks high school will line up
against the Grafton bunch tomorrow
afternoon and the whole town is ex-
pected to turn out en- masse and cheer
the boys on to victory. The coming
game is the talk of the town, and many
bets are being made on the streets to-
day. Naturally, East Grand Forks has
slightly the best of the wagers, but
all realize that with strength and,
weight the Grafton team with correct
coaching ought to come out victorious.
However the local boys are plucky
and go into the game with the deter
mination to win at all costs. This
will be the first opportunity that the
citizens have had this year to see the
boys play and for this reason the
crowd is expected to be the largest
that ever turned out to an athletic
sport in the city.
The management is under heavy ex-
pense in bringing the visitors to this
city and, even with a large turnout,
hardly expects to come out even.
The game will be played on the
grounds at the corner of DeMers
avenue and Sixth street, and will prob
ably be called at 3 o'clock.
The line up announced today by
Coach Fawcett is as follows:
Ends. Zipoy and Lukkason; tackles.
Hawley and Sullivan; guards, Shelley,
Fogel, Daley and Kelly; center.
Zipoy; halves Routley and McIlraith;
fullback, Quigley, and quarterback. >.

PEACE-YUK0N TRAIL
One Party has Reached Fort
Graham, a Distance of
2O7 Miles.

Edmonton, Alta, Oct. 19.-Capt. C..
Denny, one of the Oldest members of
the X. N. w. NJ. p, returned on Mon
day night from Fort Graham on the
Finlay river. Capt. Denny left Ed
monitor in May, 1905, with the Peace
Yukon trail party under Inspector
Richards. He had charge of the pack
train that forwarded supplies to the
party The trail party consisted of
twenty men, and have succeeded in
cutting trail eight feet wide from
Fort st. John on the Peace to Fort
Graham on the Finlay river, a distance
of 2O7 ga miles.
Capt. Denny speaks well of the coun-
try much Of 1t being covered with Jack
pine. He has several specimens of
minerals which he intends to send to
an assay office. Capt. Denny left Fort
Graham month ago, and travelled
alone by canoe to Rocky Mountain
Portage on the Peace river. He fas-
tened two pine logs one on each side of
the canoe, and was able to make the
journey in safety. The rapids at this
point forced him to Portage fifteen
miles across to Hudson's Hope, a trad
ing port of the Hudson's Bay Co.
Leaving his baggage, Capt. Denny
tr'alged across to the port to get the

N0uM||T TO The EXPENSES
Local Attorney Thinks Candidates Can
Spend Any Amount for
Election.

A prominent attorney of this city
claims that the new code OF Mime
sofa laws has 80 changed the corrupt
practices act that there Is now no limit
to the amount candidate may spend
to secure his election. While the
laws now In use limit the amount that
may be spent to secure a nomination,
the limit upon election expenditures
has been entirely omitted from the
code, undoubtedly through mistake.
This local attorney called the at
tention Of the Evening Times repre-
sentative to the matter today.
THE corrupt practices act, passed
IN 1895, placed an exact limit upon
