I Never did the loggers of northern
Minnesota prepare for q bigger sea-
son. and seldom have they faced as
dismal Q prospect 81 this season, says
the BIainerd Tribune.
Seven thousand men have been hired
for the woods from Bemldji, while
the employment agencies Of the twin
cities and Duluth have also sent large
numbers to the plneries. The nnmter
Of camps now in operation in Beltra-
mi, Clearwater and Itasca counties is
fullv. 8O per cent greater than for
many years, yet the progress that il
being made is far from being equal
to that of last year.
The unusually long period of mild
weather. which still continues, to.
gether with the fact that there was q
fall of at least three feet of snow be-.
fore the ground had frozen more than
few inches and before ths swamps
had frozen at all make conditions for
the loggers extremely difficult. It
takes low temperature to freeze the
ewamps. over which large portion of
the hauling must Re done. The
Thanksgiving snowstorm came while
water was yet standing in these
are not frozen over to this day. Ex-
perienced woodsmen declare that a
temperature of 40 degrees below would
not freeze the swamps stuff ciently for
, the purpose Of logging. so heavy is
the protecting mantle Of snow.
Nearly all the loggers are already
gone to the heavy expense to build
logging roads over the swamps. The
only practicable way under the cir
cumstances Is to break a road over
the swamps through the snow, await
for 1t to freeze, break it again and
give it repeated opportunity to
freeze The construction OF such a
road is expensive. A typical road of
this kind, and at the same time per-
haps the largest in the pineries. is
that constructed by, Contractor
George Kirk about twelve miles west
of Bemidji. Kirk has been about
three weeks building it, and it is
iced to the depth of eight inches It
is more than three miles in length.
Over this road enormous loads can
be drawn, four horses pulling a load
that towers tigher than a one-story
building. Similar roads are being
built by all contractors in the woods.
The demand for men is still active,
and perhaps fifty day are now being
sent out by the Bemidji employment
Offices. There is heavy demand for
horses and the pricespaid for their use
are higher than for several years. Men
are getting from $26 to $50 month
wages.

STATE GUARD ENCAMPMENT.
Henderson, II is Believed, will Secure An.
nual Camp Of instruction.

! Several cities, among whom
are Henderson, Hopkinsville,
Greensboro and Frankfort, have
been making efforts to secure
the annual camp of instruction
of the Kentucky State Guard
this year, which will be held
sometime in August. 1t is
learned that Frankfort was
promised the encampment, but
owing to an unsatisfactory site
the intention of having the
Guard encamp their was aban-
doned. 1t is now the concensus
of opinion that Henderson will
be selected as the place for the
encampment this summer.
The Kentucky State Journal,
published at Frankfort, In its
Issue of Thursday of last week
says:
1t looks like Henderson is to get
the State encampment of the mill
tia this year. A strong delegation
from that city came here yesterday
and went before Adiutant General
Henry Lawrence and Gov. Beck
ham and urged the claims of their
town, presenting the inducements
they have to offer, and making a
very liberal bid.
In the delegation were Circuit
Judge ]. w. Henson, City Judge E.
s. Walker, Mayor S. ID. Harris,
County Attorney M. Powell Taylor
and James w. Clay.
Only two other cities of the State
are contesting for the encampment
this year, Hopkinsville and Owens
boro. Strange to say, the State en-
campment has not been sought by
cities IN the central or eastern part
of the State for many years. Last
years encampment was held at
Paducah and the years previous at
the St. Louis exposition, Mammoth
Cave and Greensboro. No eastern
city has bid for it for a long time.
Whether the citizens are not alive
to the largely increased income for
the business men or whether they |
are desirIous of having an army en-
so near, is not known but
the fact remains that no application
for the encampment comes from
central or eastern Kentucky

1t is conceded now that the ben

be widespread when the streams

OF supporting traffic. 1t will
permit of short rail hauls and

their issue of June 2Sth:
The citizens-or at least those
not engaged ID lawless warfare
were awakened at midnight
Wednesday by what sounded
like a pitched battle in the
neighborhood of the Shaft.
The bullets could be heard
distinctly whizzing through air
and residents in the zone of fire
were fearful lest the murderous
messengers flying like a leaden
hail might penetrate their homes.
Persons living near the Shaft
state that at least four squads
were firing from different points,
and for half hour probably the
shooting was incessant. Mean
while the big search light at the
Shaft was sweeping the adjacent
woods seeking to discover the
ambush of the attacking party,
while the gatling gun was train
Ing in the direction of the shots.
Evidently large amount of
ammunition was wasted, as no
dead or wounded were found on
the field of battle this morning.
1t is reported today that the
fireman at the slope was struck
on the head by one of the shots,
making serious wound.
1t is not known who did the
shooting, but the matter wall be
investigated.
