ton, will be greatly reduced. Our for
ests are rapidly going, our vast supply
of mineral oil flows to the ends of the
earth. We can not continue to sup
n1v the whole world and recruit our
own resources by the methods of trade
that now obtain, because the minerals
stored in the ground do not recreate
themselves. Once used they are gone
forever. We shall, with these coming
millions to provide for, be thrown
back upon the soil, the only resource
of mankind that it capable Of Infinite
renewal and that offers life for gen.
Grafton after generation. The period
of ransacking the national storehouse
to see what can be sent over seas and

which we shall consider the preserya-

damentally, our chief maintenance.

Chicago, Oct. flames ]. Hill
president of the Great Northern rail
way, was the principal speaker Satur.
day night at the banquet at the Audi.
forum hotel under the auspices of
the Commercial association. His
theme was The Development of the
Northwest, >" and his remarks were
greeted with applause because of the
great deal in ore lands which he clos
ed recently in behalf of the Great
Northern Railway.
David e. Forgan, president of the
Commercial association, presided at
the banquet, which was attended by
about $50 members of the association
and their friends. Sir Thomas Upton
was one of the chief guests of the
evening. Other speeches were

Bicknell represented the Chicago Com
mercial association in the relief meas
ures at San Francisco after the earth
quake.
After reviewing the progress made
in the northwest in the past so years,
Mr.. Hill said:
The first business and the highest
duty of the norInwest is to prepare for
the burden and heat of the coming day
and to postpone the frightening of the
shadows that must surely fall. With
in certain limits we may know exactly
what is to happen in this country and
the northwest if forces now operative
and if tendencies now active are un-
checked. These briefly, are the Ger.
tanties of the next so years, support
ed by facts asoertained beyond pos
sibility of error. BY the middle OF
this century, within the life time OF
thousands now living, our population
will be more than 200000,OOJ. Where
are these people to find profitable oc
! cupatiOn? How are they to obtain the
necessities of life? The question is
always pressing upon great cities like
Chicago, where immigration concen
| trates. But these newcomers can not
| be excluded. Labor was never as
scarce, wages were never as high as
at the present day. We can not STOP
the inflow or check the natural in
crease. We must determine. however
upon an economy different from the
present, when our population is ap
preaching three times what it was II
1900. Striking as has n found th'
contrast between 1850 and 1900, tina
between the present and 1850 will re
veal more serious features. Practi

Bee Hunters On the Run.

A successful "bee hunt" was en-
gineered by a number of young
men of the town on Friday night Of
last week, the victims of the prac-
tical joke being two Philadelphia
steam. filters who have been en-
ployed here for some weeks past.
The bee tree was located in the
woods of s. j. Reynolds, about one
mile from town, and thither the
enthusiastic hunters repaired with
lantern, buckets, ak, saw, etc., and
under the guidance of some exper-
fenced members of the craft.
Hardly had operations begun on
the tree when fusillade of shots
rang through the woods and one of
the promoters of the hunt dropped
to the ground with the cry that he
was shot, and despite his pitiful
pleadings not to be left alone, the
Philadelphia sports, with enthu
siasm chilled, hastily concluded
discretion was the better part of
valor, and discarding the tools they
had been welding so sturdily, de
serted their wounded (?) compan-
ion and sought safety in fight.
Bushes, briers and stumps retarded
progress but slightly, but when
barbed wire fence was reached and
one of the fleeing hunters became
hopelessly entangled, he begged not
to be left and suggested that they
lie down to escape being hit by
some of the bullets which seemed to
be flying uncomfortably close. His
companion demurred and with the
remark sine for home" proceeded
on his way, but not rejoicing, leav.
ing the unfortunate one to Olsen
tangle himself and follow as speed
lily as possible. After sundry
falls and minor mishaps the mud
bespattered city bee hunters reach
ed their hotel and breathlessly re-
lated their thrilling experience in
escaping from the wrath of the
farmer, upon whose property they
had trespassed to perpetrate a dark
deed. They are wiser now and
were heard to express the hope
that an account of their "hunt"
would not reach the newspaper.

Thieves At Work.

Night prowlers paid a visit to
our town some time between Mon
day evening and Tuesday morning
AS far as reported the residences of
81. B. Patten and Edwin Haines
were the only ones entered, but
from indications other of our citi
zens are inclined to believe there
were providers about their premises
during the same night.
At Mr.. Patterns a small sum of
money and a quantity of edibles
were secured. The thief evidently
was acquainted with the present
market quotation of eggs, as he
considered them of sufficient value
to carry off a dozen or more which
he found there. Entrance was
effected through a cellar window
At the residence of Edwin
Haines entrance was gained
through a window in the dining
room but the only thing missed by
the family was a small sum of
money, between two and three
dollars.
No clue has been obtained as to
the identity of the thief, and it
might be well for our citizens to
get their guns handy for use in
the event of future visits from the
party, as nothing would be more
effective in stopping his nefarious
! work than a few grains of bird shot.
