Timber Sale. .
Duluth-Forty-f1v million feet OF
timber will be offered at the annual
sale of state timber which the state
auditor will hold at the capitol on Oct.
II. A complete list Of the timber was
ready for distribution yesterday.
Most Of the timber is in Itasca and St.
Louis counties.
The amount is not much more than
half of what was offered last year,
when 80,000,000 feet were sold at high
prices. The amount last year was a
little over the usual amount, however.
The small amount offered this year is
partly on account of the growing
scarcity of timber. Although the TIM
Der is not all of the highest grade, II
IS expected that a great deal Of it will
bring fancy prices. Most Of it is
pine, but there, is some spruce, tam
arack, cedar and balsam. T.
The purchaser of this timber must
pay Is per cent Of the appraised value
before the close of the sale. II he
fails to do this, the timber will again
be put on sale. The permit to cut
the timber is good for two years and
the purchaser must give bond to pay
the full price whether he cuts it or
not, excep. that the timber board may
grant an extension for one year.
Mother and Tot EErned.:
,Moorhead-With her two-year-old
baby in her arms and her clothing
enveloped in flames, Mrs. r. H. Ack-
ley rushed out of her house screaming
for help. Neighbors quickly responded
and with great presence of mind
snatched the burning clothing from
the woman and took the child out Of
her arms. The flames were quickly
extinguished, but not until Mrs. Ack-
ley was severely burned.
Mrs. Ackley was preparing to clean
some clothes and had placed a pan
containing water and gasoline on top
of the stove to heat. After the pan
had been on the stove a while Mrs.
Ackley lifted the stove lid to replenish
the fire. Instantly there was an ex~
plosion and the woman's clothing was
set on fire. The fire spread to the
kitchen, and Mrs. Ackley, snatching
up her child, which had been playing
about on the floor, fled to the yard
1t is thought she will recover
49,. Killing the Animals. 80.
+ Minneapolis-By order of members
Of the park board the smallest Of the
three bears at Minnehaha Park was
shot yesterday morning. This bear
had been sick for some time and all
hope of curing it of its malady had
been given up. s'.-51 800,
The fate of the other animals in the
zoo at Minnehaha will remain unde.
dded until after the conference be-
tween the park board and the Mime
apolis Humane society to be held to-
morrow, but it is generally believed
that the decision will be in favor of
disposing of the remaining bears and
all of the smaller beasts and abandon
ment of the zoo. Most of the members
of the board desire to retain the deer,
els and buffalo, and it is believed that
this will be found to be practicable,
although the bear pit and the quarters
of the smaller animals have been pro-
nounced insufficient in size and other
wise unsuitable. #
