ITASCA PAPER COMPANY
DOING fine BUSINESS
A. c. Bossard Says the Paper Mill is
Principal Industry at Grand
Rapids.

The Itasca Paper company,
which owns a large mill at Grand
Rapids, is enjoying a large bust
ness, at the present time, and
the operation Of the paper max.
ing plant at the "Rapids" is OF
great benefit to that town,
according to A. G. Bossard, gen
eral manager Of the company,
who was in Bemidji yesterday.
Mr.. Bossard states that the
mill, which has a capacity for
turning out twenty-five tons Of
paper every day, is being run
the entire twenty-fo four hours,
and that everything is running
smoothly at the plant.
For some time after the mill
was established at Grand Rapids,
much trouble was experienced
in operating the plant, owing to
the low stage Of the water in the
river, which furnished the
power. This was caused by the
closing of the gates of the goY-
ernment dam at Pokegema. How
ever, the dams are being oper-
ated differently, at present, and
there is ample flow of water for
all purposes, as far as the mill is
concerned.
There is a large demand for
the paper manufactured at
Grand Rapids, but the Itasca
com pany supplies but little out
side of regular firms at Des-
Moines, Omaha, st. Joseph and
Kansas City. The company.
could supply a much larger.
quantity, could the. mill manu-.
facture it, but the capacity of the
plant is taxed to fill orders.
already received, which take the
entire output.

VICIOUS DOGS BECOMING
ALTOGETHER TOO BOLD.
Owners Should Tie Them Up, or
Several Suits for Damages May
Ensue.

There is every prospect that
there will be a general uprising
of citizens in a common move
ment to exterminate a score or
more of useless dogs, whose own
ers have been cautioned to either
place their CANNES where they
can do no harm or kill them.
Of late there have been many
complaints lod ged with Chief of
Police Bailey and Superintendent
Ritchie, concerning the vicious
acts of several dogs whose own.
ers live in the north end of town
and unless the warnings of the
officers and the superintendent
are needed, there is very liable
to be action taken in court to dc
away with the nuisance.
It was but q few days ago,
when one of the teachers at the
high school building was set up.
on by one of the numerous ours
that frequent the com munity
with the result that q valuable
coat that the teacher wore was
badly torn and utterly ruined
Children going and coming from
school have been attacked by
these dogs, and complaints are
many as to the viclousness OF
the brutes.
The city charter confers NJ
authority upon the chief Of police
or any other city official ! power
to destroy any dogs, and about
the only recourse is asuit agains,
the owners Of the dogs for dam
ages. It is more than likely tina,
several suits will be brought
against the owners of these dogs
(their names are knoWn) unless
the dogs are taken care of al
once.

W. B. Sherman Tells Duluth Herald of
Conditions as They Have Prevailed
in North Country.
MANY MORE LABORfNG MEN ARE
WORKING THIS YEAR THAN LAST
Too Much Snow, and Weather Very
Cold for Employees in the
Woods.

W. B. Sherman, the "man
catcher" for Ross & Ross, has
been down to Duluth, and he
gave out the following to the Du.
luth Herald:
tI never sawsit so hard to get
men for the woods.as it is right
now. 81 have been in Duluth
for a week, representing one OF
the larger logging companies
operating in Northern Minnesota
and while I have rounded up a
few lum berjacks, I have not got
ten nearly enough to fill the order.
The crew isn't large enough to
pay me for returning with it, in
fact, I have sent the men up by
themselves. Our camps are in
the Kelliher district, up the
Minnesota & international.
'This is a bad season Of the
year to get help for the woods.
The men are coming into town,
and they dislike to return to the
camps again, prefering to wait
awhile and get in some, other line
of employment. The cold wea-
ther has something to do with
this dislike. Other companies
are having the same trou BILE. A
few men quit every week, and
in the aggregate, when a com
pany has fifteen or twenty cam ps,
the total is quite a considerable
one, making Il necessary to se-
cure more woodsmen every once
in a while. The mon this winter
are very independent, and poor
workmen for the most part. It
takes about two of them to do
an ordinary mans work.
"My company recently re-
ceived a steam hauler for use in
the woods. Themachine is a great
invention. It will pull half a
dozen sleighs at one time, and
the sleighs can be loaded to their
full capacity, with room for not
another log on them. The speed
is six miles an hour, so you see
the hauler has teams beaten all
to pieces. The roads are in fine
shape now for it's operation, and
plenty hard enough and solid
enough to sustain the heavy
weight.
"a good many more men are
employed in thecampsof Northern
Minnesota this year than there
were last, and the total cut OF
timber will be larger than usual.
| include in this the cedar, pulp
wood, etc. There may not be
any more cut than there was a
year ago, but more camps are
established in the cedar and
spruce belts than ever before.
The company I represent gets
out cedar almost entirely, al.
though we cut a certain amount
of pine. .

0o0-Backed Clay Clement,
the Actor.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 2.-Dismayed by
the condition of his financial affairs, and
on the verge of a physical breakdown,
Jesse E. Hall, president of the Belding-
Hall Manufacturing company is on the
other side of the Canadian border await
ing the result of the investigation now
being made by the company's creditors.
Clay Clement, the actor with whom
Mr.. Hall was associated in theatrical
venture told last evening of accompany
ing Mr.. Hall TO Detroit. Developments
indicate that the venture of the refrig
orator manufacturer into the theatrical
business when he backed Sam Hous-
tom was but drop in the bucket with
his other financial ventures.
According to Mr. Clement, who played
the title role in this production, Mr.. Hall
invested but a small sum of money in
the play, doing this because he had had
a hand in the writing of the play. Mr..
Hall was collaborating with Mr.. Clement
in writing play at the time he left
Chicago. The liabilities of the Belding-
Hall Manufacturing company are esti-
mated at 100000 to $75O,0O0.

SEA RATE CUTTING
RAPIDLY SPREADS
Cunard Line Announces 1t Will Meet
Reduction of Its COmpeti-

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 2.-The Cunard
line has issued official statement to
the effect that it will be obliged to follow
the example of its competitors and re
duce its eastward Atlantic fares. This
action had been expected, as otherwise
with all the lines running from the con
tinent to channel ports accepting lower
rates. much of the Liverpool traffic might
have been diverted.
: The situation is regarded as serious
The most interesting question is, will
the Cunard lines competitors make fur
Their reductions. There is little doubt
that while the rate cutting at present is
limited to the American eastward traffic
eventually it will affect the Canadian
trade.
The American lines have been foster
ing Canadian traffic via New York and
Boston, and it appears that the Cana
dian lines will be obliged to reduce their
rates or else lose business to the Amer
lean steamers.

pany, which operates the local street car
line owned by +. Warren Montgomery.

commission to build an interurban line
from Madison 10 Stoughton, which
skirts the shore of lakes Monona and

tons. He declared that the plea was a
device to get control of the local railway

certificate be denied. and that a certiti-
cate be granted to some line that would
connect Madison with GAINESVILLE.
The application of Mr.. Montgomery
also includes the right to issue 100000
