We do not believe the present tariff
of $500 per Thousand on lumber
affects the price of lumber one par
ticle, as tariff or no tariff, we will
have to look to our own country to
furnish what we need. Canada can
supply but very little and is rather
anxious to import from us. We
know that lumber prices have in
creased many times the amount OF
the tariff in recent years, so there
must be other causes for the raise.
The chief cause we believe is the
gobbling up of the timber lands by
the big companies, who are boosting
prices in order to make immense pro-
tits for themselves on stumpage. The
cost of manufacture has not increas-
ed in recent years. But if the tariff
on lumber does no good one way OF
another, it would seem to be useless
to keep it, and it's removal would
not cripple any lumber interest.
But the prices will not come down
until the pine land owners will con
descend to accept only fair profits
and that time may never come.

Editor E. A. Nelson, Of the Hallock
News, was in the city last Saturday
on his way home from the editors
meeting at Thief River Falls. Ow-
ing to the failure of the 500 to con-
meet with the Great Northern in the
morning, he had to spend the day
here, utilizing it for calling on his
many friends. Mr.. Nelson has made
a whirlwind of a campaign for the
Office of secretary of state, and feels
confident of the result. He stands
we'll with the newspaper boys all over
the state, anc if they could have their
say his nomination would come by &C
clamation. The northwestern coun-
ties will no doubt give Mr.. Nelson
united support, being home candi-
date.

A prominent minister, a field agent
for the Home Missionary society, told
us recently that agricultural prosperity
was not conducive to agricultural pi-
ETY. or scientific farming. He said that
the easier 1t was for man on farm
to make living the less he cared about
religion or the improvement Of his
farm methods. He cited the case
which came under his notice recently
where an elder Of country church.
the owner Of 500 acres Of land and one
pr the trustees Of country church
which had been literally aided In the
past from the funds Of the Home Mis-
sionary society, subscribed the large
sum of Is cents toward helping the
good work along in other localities.
The elder gave as his excuse that he
was in debt, and upon inquiry our
friend found that the debt was created
by the purchase Of another eighty
acres Of land.

FINDING MEN IN SNOWSLIDES
Trick Learned from Indians Proves
Et1cacious in Saving Many
Lives.

Eli Smith is credited with having
saved tie Ives of Is men at Sheep
Camp in the spring of 1898 at the time
of the great snowslide ON the Dyea
trail. 1t will be recalled, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, that 63 men
were killed by the slide, most OF them
suffocating before rescuers could
reach them. Smith was on the trail
several miles below the slide. He came
up three-quarters OF an hour after the
tragedy and found the survivors fran
tically trying to dig the victims out.
"Give me that stick,' said Smith to
man who had fiat lathlike piece OF
wood in his hand.
The stick was turned over to Smith,
who Immediately Whitfield the end so
that he could insert it in his mouth
and grasp it firmly with his back
teeth. Then he thrust the stick in the
snow and held the end in his mouth,
apparently listening. He repeated the
operation at several points in the
slide. Finally he shouted:
Come! Dig here, quick"
At depth of nine feet the rescuers
took out three men, unconscious, bu1
alive Those three men recovered
and were all right by morning.
In the same manner Smith pointed
out other places, which resulted In tn
locating of many bodies and the un
covering in all Of rs men whose live
were saved.
Where did you learn that trick?'
Smith was asked, the other day.
II learned that in Idaho, at Woo
river said he. "The Indians know
that trick. guess a wire would b
better than a stick, but they don
keep wire in stock out in the wilds
so Indians always use q stick. Yo

Merchants say they are selling more
grass seed this spring than ever be-
fore. That is a good sign. 1t means
that the farmers in the valley have
found out that it pays them better
to grow tame grasses for hay and
pasture than to depend on the nature
supply. It also means rotation OF
crops and better system of farm
ing. Land that has grown grass for
a few years will when again turned
by the pillow become excellent wheat

THE FARMERS FRIENDS,

We were asked the other day why it
was that people in other lines Of busi-
ness took so much interest in the farm
er and his fortunes; why he was made
the object Of 80 much solicitude and
the subject Of so much often unwar-
ranted advice. Nobody takes any in
terest in the merchant, commission
man, land agent, preacher or teacher.
but there is no end to the number of
people who know nothing about farm
ing who feel called upon to advise the
farmer when to wean his calves and
plant his potatoes and sell his grain.
We think it is accounted for partly on
the ground that the farm and the farm
er are the handspring Of all CONNER
cial prosperity, the only real creators
Of new wealth, all the other fellows be-
ing mere traders and manipulators Of
wealth which comes from the soil.
Thus these people are naturally inter-
ested in the farm, knowing that agri-
cultural prosperity means prosperity
all along the line.

= The passage Of the free al cohol bill
at this session of congress is now al
most assured. In our opinion that
measure will be of immense benefit
to the people, both in the way of
furnishing power and fuel and in en-

Editors at Thief River Falls.

The Red River Valley Editorial
association held it's first annual
meeting at Thief River Falls on May
4. Though not as well attended as
had been desired, nevertheless nearly
score of the moulders of public
opinion were present for the purpose
of discussing matters of interest to
the craft and partaking of the hos
pitality of the citizens OF Thief
River Falls. One of the first acts of
the association after being called to
order by president Carr, was to send
message of congratulation to Harry
Ives, of the st. Hilaire Spectator,
who had taken unto himself wife
and was then on his wedding trip.
After re-electing the old officers for
another year, E. A. Nelson of the
Hallock News was called upon for a
brief address on the subject ''The
Newspaper Man in Politics, from
the view of the Newspaper Man"
gave some very practical suggestions.
Preceding the business meeting the
editors were given delightful carri-
age drive over the city, which has
had a phenomenal growth during the
past few years and now claims pop
ulation of more than 30O0.~ AS we
had not seen the place since back in
the eighties, when Chief Moose
Dung, Mr.. Wallin and Mr.. Kratka
constituted the whole town, what we
beheld was almost a revelation to
us. The large saw mill, the opening
of the reservation, and the Great
Northern and 500 railways, parti
cularly the latter, have contributed
much to the city's growth in recent
years.
In the evening the editors were
entertained in a most delightful
manner at a smoke social by the
Antler's Club in their elegantly ap-
pointed rooms. Here we were given
an opportunity to meet and converse
with the business men of the city, the
men whose brains, pluck and energy
have made Thief River Falls what it
is. The towns certainly has lot Of
wide-awake, pushing energetic anc
enterprising young business men,
and if they can't make a town, the
thing cannot be accomplished. Lat
er in the evening sumptuous ban
Quet Was served at the cafe. After
the feast, Mr.. g. L. Dobner tool
charge as POSTMASTER, first calling
up~n the mayor, DR.. Grundy, to de-
liver the keys of the city to TIN
visiting newspaper men. The mayor
responded gracefully, after which E
A. Nelson, Supt. Hay of the THE
River Falls schools, Daniel Shaw
and editors Bell, Medicraft, Hun
and Carr made appropriate remarks
Every editor present certainly felt
pleased and grateful for the roya
manner in which they had been en-
tertained and left for home with :
kindly feeling for Thief River Falls

PROFITS OF ORANGE GROWING.

Many people in the east and central

idea that there is great money in the
California orange business and would
If they could HE them there and find
life one long day of golden prosperity
and Italian sunshine. Here are few
facts which one such dreamer forged
out of his experience. He writes us
that last spring he sold 881 boxes Of
the choicest navel oranges, which net
ted him only $44.81; that he sold all
told last season 1,466 boxes, which
brought him an average of only 10
cents box; that during the past three
years he has sold 4,546 boxes, for which
he has received ~$342.82, or less than 8
cents a box. AS it costs about 70 cents
to produce a box Of oranges in that
country, he evidently Is in the same box

We noted field Of corn the other
day which did not yield to exceed
twenty five bushels an acre, and one
corner Of the field had been used by a
city Of 1900 people as a dump ground
for the offal and garbage of the town.
It seemed queer that with this abun-
dant supply Of fertilizer right on his
land the man did not have sense
enough to use it to feed his poor corn
crop; but, then, there are lots of men
who own land who do not know
enough to last them overnight.

Of late a very marked advance in the
price of leather. The hide of beef

much today as it was four years ago.
A reason for this is to be found in the
great demand made upon the leather

country and the further fact that Amer

our own people, but is capturing the
markets of the world. The hide of the
