The latest list Of Fourth Of Jul,


The latest list Of Fourth Of July
casualties show So killed and 3.O87
wounded. The fire losses amounted
to about half a million dollars.
This is not quite as bad as last year,
when the dead numbered 158, but
the list will probably be materially
increased when all the remote pre-
cincts are heard from. Speaking
Of the result of last years cele-
bration, the "Sharpshooter" in
Commercial West makes the fol-
lowing calculations:
''This Fourth of July casualty
list reminds US that independence
even when gained by bloodshed re-
quires bloodshed for it's mainte-
nance. In ten such celebrations we
kill and wound more people than
Washington commanded in his larg-
est army of independence. It takes
but four Fourths of July to make
an Antietam and but eight to make
"a Gettysburg. If we keep up our
record for the entire twentieth GEN.
fury we shall have sacrificed or
crippled on the jovial altar of indie
pendence a half million of our good
people,. This is not quite as bad as
civil war, for war is done in hate
and this is done in fun. Blu the
dead are just as dead and the
wounded just as shattered as tho it
had been done by an enemy. If
we pension our Independence Day
victims as we do our war victims,
we shall be paying about SIS, 900,
600 annually by the middle of the
century,

The Use of Our Forests.

''The Use of the National For
ests, >" publication just printed by
the Department of Agriculture, is
a brief, clear manual for public in
formation as to the forest policy of
the National Government.
In the first place, it is explained
how the Forests are created and
how their boundaries are drawn.
Next, their direct use and value
are shown from the point of view
of the homeseeker, the prospector
and miner, the user of timber, the
user Of the range, the user of water,
and other users of Forest resources.
Third, it is shown how the Forests
are intended for use, for the pro-
duction of disable products, and for
the establishment and maintenance
OF homes; how on all of them the
timber is protected from fire, the
water flow is kept steady, the for.
age on the range is increased and
guarded from. abuse; and how in
addition, they serve as great public
Fairgrounds and as breeding places
and refugees for game. Finally,
the management Of the National
Forests is described. {, !. 81 Il:
In a word, the special interest Of
this manual lies in its showing that
the Forest policy Of the Government
is for the. benefit Of the ordinary
man, for the benefit Of every citi-
zen equally There is still q ten.
dency to think Of the National For.
|ests as preserves 8 closed to use,
and to leave the public lands ex-
posed to unregulated individual ex-
plot ation. Where these misappre.
tensions still prevail The Use 81

John D. Rockefeller was up be-
fore Judge Landis in Chicago the
other day and with a smile that
was child-like and bland assured
the court that he did not know any,
thing about the affairs of the
Standard Oil Company, tho he is
the president of the concern. He
had an idea, however, that the COM
pany paid about forty per cent divi-
dend last year. For concern
whose head officers seem to know
nothing about it's business that is
doing pretty well. After getting
out of court Johns memory seems
to have revived somewhat, as he
then knew enough about it. to is
sue a public statement that the
Standard oil Company was thoroly
in favor of the Sherman antitrust
law passed in 1898, and has never
violated said law. If he spoke the
truth when under oath he stated
that he had had nothing to do with
the practical management of the
company for twenty years and had
not been inside the Office for eight
or nine years, how then does he
know that the company has not VIC.

Some time ago the government
secured a decision in a court dis
solving the General Paper Com.
pany, better known as the paper
trust. How futile such attempts
to destroy trusts are can be seen
from the following item clipped
from a trade paper:
1.-The paper mills of Wisconsin,
upper Michigan and Minnesota, to
the number Of thirty or more,
will shortly be organized into a
monster manufacturing and operat-
ing company, which, it is claimed,
will eliminate all the features of
the late General Paper Company
which were supposed to be in re-
straint of trade. The new combin-
alton will, if anything, be a NEAR
trust, and will manufacture and
handle the entire products of the
mills in the company. The details
have not yet been completed but
the fact of the formation is admit
ted.
When one company handles the
entire output of the mills it will
make no difference to the purchaser
of the product whether the said
company is trust or NEAR trust,
In either case it will be near
enough to monopoly to make the
purchaser pay the highest price pos.
sible.

NORWAY LAKE,, July sos
car Markell had to share in another
unfortunate happening last Sunday
morning, when two of his best
mich COWS were killed, by light
ming. 1t is only month ago since
he lost ten head of cattle thru the
collapse of a shed, due to the heavy
rains of the past, spring. The loss
is a serious one to Mr.. Markell, as
he had one Of the finest herds in
this locality.
The Fourth of July celebration
at the grove of Martin Aasen was a
grand success. An enormous crowd
was present. Some very interest
ing lectures were given by Revs.

Fjelstad of the Luther College of
Madison, MIMI, also number of
songs were given by the Y. P.
choir. The program closed with
an auction by the Ladies' Aid So
ciety Of the East Norway Lake
church.
The Ladies' Aid society of the
Hauge church gave picnic and
auction at M: O.. Rustad's place last
Thursday, but owing to the threat
ening weather thruout the forenoon
the crowd was not as large as it
would otherwise have been The
proceeds from the auction, lunch
tables and refreshments amounted
to some over $4,000.
Miss Augusta Mostue, who has
been staying in Willmar for while,
arrived home last week for short
visit.
Miss Sophia Arseth arrived from
Minneapolis last week for an ex-
tended visit at the Hatlestad home.

The Swenson, Skaalerud, Nelson,

Basebel at Penllnotck,

!: The finest exhibition Of the ma
tional game seen on the Pennock
grounds for long time was played
by the Solomon Lake and Pennock
ball teams last Sunday afternoon,
Pennock winning by score Of 5 to
6; but it required ten innings be-
fore they could squeeze in the win
ming run, and they got that by
mere good luck. This was the first
real game the Solomon Lake boys
had played, but they played fine ball.
Akeson and Sather composed the
battery, and Akeson had the hard
hitting Pennock boys clawing the
air right lively, in two innings
striking them out in one, two,
three order. He was very ably sup
ported by his teammates, which
kept the score down. The crowd
greatly admired the work of Sather,
the catcher. Berglund and STERN
lof were the battery for 'Pennock,
and Berglund really deserved to
win as he pitched very good ball,
especially in the last four innings.
Stjernlof's backstop work was also
a feature of the game. Following
is the score by innings:
R.H. E.
P. -0O2 01O1 6 "a
S. L.-101003 5000 LIP
Umpire, Lynn Anderson; time of
game, one hour and 40 minutes.
Struck out, by Akeson II; Berg
lund, 10.
A return game will be played in
the near future.
Pennock will probably play 8
game with the Priam team next
Sunday afternoon.

THE GREAT QUESTION.

What will be best two generations
hence. Or three or four-fifty or
hundred years from now-for all the
people? What will be best for both
Edward Henry Hartman " and also
the great-grandson of Antonio Dimitri,
who arrived yesterday on the Oceanic
and got job digging bitches on the
Union Pacific? What policy of today
will most certainly insure to each OF
them, without toll so hard that it de-
bases, a coat warm enough, with
dash of color if they wish it, and food
enough, to satisfy? What will guar
antee to each enough front yard for
his cedars and his vines, enough south
hill slope for his apple orchard and po-
tato rows, enough prosperity to school
his tiny two or ten, and, above that,
enough to give him leisure for little
thinking, peace of mind for the reason
able pursuit of happiness and the eco
nomic independence which will en-
able him to make the most OF what is
in him? Ought not some SUCH vision
as this, some such rough-and-ready
rule, be the test for statesmen and
their policies ?-Collier's Weekly.

Nature Story.

The morning shower had ceased,
and the early robin, seeking for its
breakfast had caught sight of an early
worm, Grabbing it with its bill. the
robin pulled the worm partly out of
the ground. Then it let go, to take
fresh bod, and an English spar
row swooped down, seized the worm,
and few away with It,
The robin, nothing daunted, hunted
up another worm, and had nearly com
pleted the process of extraction, when
the English sparrow swooped down
again and carried away the worm
likewise.
This performance was repeated six
times more.
Say, you!" exclaimed the robin
losing patience at last, why do you
rob me in this measly, contemplate
fashion,"
Because" answered the English
sparrow. you're dead easy. What is
the use of my digging worms when
can get big slobs like you TO dig them
for me?"
Which so angered the woman who
was watching the birds and had over
heard the conversation that she pick
ed up a stone, threw it at the spar
row, and came within half an inch of
hitting the robin.

This man was scheduled to speak
again at the school the next month,

speech the man called another boy and
