MUSICAL AND RECTAL
4 Pleasing Entertainment BY Miss
Ruth Trimble, Assisted by Miss
Bessie N. Murphy.

The musical and recital at the
Fay Opera Tuesday evening by
Miss Ruth Tri,nble, assisted by
Miss Bessie NJ. Murphy, soprano
soloist and leader of Our Lady of
Lourdes Church Choir, failed to
receive the attendance which was
it's just due, but those present en-
joyed a program of more than Or
binary excellence, the singing by
Miss Murphy receiving the highest
of praise, while the numbers by
Miss Trimble and the Readings and
Delsarte Drill by four little tots
embracing Corinne Costin, Phoebe
Ole, Wave Wilson and Dorothy Nc
Ghee, also came in for appreciative
mention by all.
The work of Miss Murphy, how
ever, is always particularly pleas.
ing, and her recall by the en-
cores of the audience should have
been most satisfactory evidence of
appreciation. Miss Murphy is the
only soprano vocalist doing any
work on the range, and her appear
ance in concert work always insures
a pleasurable evening to music
lovers.
Others participating in the pro-
gram were Miss Pearl Sheehy, pian-
ist, of Eveleth, and George c. Will
son, violinist.

IDEAL CONDITIONS
The Making Of Logging Roads is an
Easy Task.

Logging conditions are better in
the minnesota woods just now than
they have been for several years
past, owing to the fact that the
ground was thoroughly frozen be-
fore snow came. Heretofore the
loggers generally have been troub-
led because heavy fall of snow
early in the season would prevent
the ground from freezing solidly,
especially in swampy districts, and
makes road-naking very difficult
The camp bosses have waited for
snow this winter until almost dis
couraged, but now that it has come
there's no further delay on account
of the.roads. The swanps are froz-
en- so solidly that roads can be
built anywhere, and used immedi-
ately, with no preliminaries in the
way of tramping down the snow
and taking other steps to bring
about the freezing of the ground.
A good many men are being sent
into the woods just now, and log
ging operations are being rushed
with all possible speed.

ITASCA CO. HAS STRING on NINE
State Experimental Farm Cannot Be
Worked for iron Ore Under
MS uotUGs .i

1t is believed that the state exper.
imental farm. near the village Of
Grand Rapids is undertake With
iron ore, but the state ewould prob
ably lose out even if that should
prove to be the case, for the land
was given to the state by Itasca
county on condition that it be used
for state experimental farm.
The land will revert to Itasca
county if the state should under
take to make other use of the $50
acres in this tract than the con-
Quoting of a state experimental
farm.
States and municipalities usually
manage, however, to hold anything
they get color of title to, so that it
is by no means certain that Itasca
county could get the land back even
If the state found that the land was
more valuable for its mineral than
tor any other purpose.
The state under these conditions,
however, would probably effect a
compromise by purchasing another
tract of land near Grand Rapids for
a farm.

MAYOR vEJOES the MEASURE
Appo;nting a Duluth Maa as fire Chief
at a Salary of Si23 Named.

While by those favoring the ap.
plication of Chas. McIllhargy, of Du.
luth, for the position of chief en-.
gineer of the Virginia Fire Depart.
ment at salary of $125 per month
it was considered a "cinch" that
everything was right when the
measure passed the council by a
vote of FIVE aldermen out of six,
they had not reckoned on the action
of Mayor Hawkinson which crop
ped out at the meeting Tuesda y
evening in which he vetoed the
resolution, giving as his reason the
plain and concise statement that he
considered the salary as named was
too much to pay for the work that
would be required in the depart
ment of Virginia.
Through the absence from the
meeting of Aldermen Trezona and
Mattson the veto did not come up
for action or discussion, but will
likely receive consideration at the
hands of the council at the next
meeting.
The Mayor reported that he had
appointed William Mclean and
Axel f. Lund as patrolmen, in place
of designations heretofore mention
ed, such appointments receiving
the endorsement of the council.
AS committee from the Com
mercial Club, Messrs J. L. Kimball
and Benjamin Mllavetz submitted
a communication asking the
council to provide for the proper
care of the "poor mans cow" the
coming summer. The communica-
tion was received and ordered filed,
and it is more than likely that the
present mayor and council will act
in harmony on the proposition of
keeping the bovine pests off the
streets and out of the yards of our
citizens.
The committee on fire and fire
department reported that they had
returned the animal had on trial by
the fire department of L. Hammel
& Co., not considering the horse
desirable at the price.
The committee on city buildings,
to whom had been referred the idea
OF remode1ing the old fire hall,
advised the letting of the lower
floor to local company for militia
purposes, and::of the remodeling of
the second floor for the accom-
mediation of juries and for office
purposes.

Greatest Lumber Cut.

More lumber was cut in the
United States last year than in any
other year in its history. The enor.
nous amount of 1850, 10000 board
feet was produced, and the mill
value of this was $62l, ,152,38S. In ad-
dition, there was produced 1885,
10000 shingles, valued at $24,155,555,
and 1872, 100000 lath, valued at $l1,-
49O,57O. On the whole, it is safe to
say that the present annual lumbe
cut of the United States approx
mates 40 billion feet, and that the
total mill value of the lumber, lath
and shingles each year produced is
not less than $7OOOOOyO0O. These
figures give some idea of how vast
is the lumber industry and how
great is the demand for it's
products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber
produced shows very clearly the
passing of white pine and oak, one
the greatest softwood and the other
the greatest hardwood the forest
has ever grown. Since 1899 the cut
of white pine has fallen off more
than 40 per cent, while that of white
oak has fallen off more than SO per
cent. To day yellow pine leads all
other woods in amount cut, while
Douglas fir-and this will be a sur
prise to ,nany-comes second. Since
1899 the cut of Douglas fir has in.
creased 1856 per cent. Louisiana ia
the foremost yellow pine state, with
Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas
following in order. Washington
produces by far the greatest
amount of Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber pro.
ducing states shows that since 1893
there have been many changes in
their relative rank. Washington,
which in 1899 stood sixth, now leads
while Wisconsin,, which eight years
ago lead all others, is now third
In the same period Oregon, Louis.
lana, Mississippi, Idaho and Cali.
fornia made great strides as lum.
ber-producing states, although, on
the other hand, the amount pro.
duced in Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota. Georgia, Kentucky, Tennes
see Missouri, Indiana and Ohio fell
off anywhere from % to 81 per cent
The highest priced native woods
are walnut, hickory, and ash, and
the cheapest are larch and white
fir. From the fact, however, tina
since 1899 the average increase il
the price of lumber has been 40 Pc
cent, it will not be long befor'
cheap woods are few and far be
tween.

Spoke from the Shoulder.

Rev. F. G. Clark, pastor of the NJ.
b. Church, on Sunday eveningtlast
delivered discourse straight from
the shoulder, his subject being the
answers received to letters mailed
prominent business and profession
al men OF the city a few days previ-
ously, in which the following cues.
tions were asked:.
l. What would be the result If
the influence of the church should
1t be withdrawn from Virginia for
the next six months?
Z. Why do not more men belong
to the church?
s. What would be good topic
to preach on?
In the course of his address Mr..
Clark disclosed the answers to the
hrst query as showing a unanimitv
OF opinion that the removal of
chuch influence would have an ap-
palling effect upon any community.
while to the second query there was
a tendency to accredit the lack Of
enthusiasm in church work on the
part OF men to the fact that the men
to'ks were too busily engaged in
chasing the almighty dollar, and
that too many professed church
members failed to live up to their
obligations.
Taking the latter as his text. Mr..
Clark proceeded to flay the card
table and the ballroom, proclaim.
ing that the tendency of either card
playing or dancing was alwavs
downward no matter whether il
started in the home or elsewhere.
mat ne did not expect to stop the
practice of dancing by the school
children or the playing of cards in
the homes of his flock by his ser.
mon, but his aim was to keep the
Christian ideal 50 high in the
minds of his hearers that none
might point to the apparent short.
comlngs of the professors of relig-
ION tor refusing to join in church
work and becoming affiliated as
mem bers.
Nr. Clark also, in the course of
MS sermon, presented the alliance
OF the church and school systems
by the assertion that if the Protest
ant church should ever go down
the school system of the country
would of necessity go down with it.

J. P. CHALMERS IN TOWN
Thinks Evele:h aad Virginia Should
Each Have Combiaed Armory
and Theatre.

J. P. Chalmers, the aggressive
theatrical man of Virginia, spent a
few hours in town Thureday and
found to be a ready talker on the
amusement situat ton of Virginia
and Eveleth. The conditions are
80 much alike that an idea good for
one is also good for the other. Both
want a good theatre and both want
an armory.
Mr.. Chalmers understands this
situation and advises each city to
build combined armory and
theatre. Of necessity the armory
must be on the ground floor as the
tread of a marching company and
the rattle OF muskets on the floor
make life in a lower floor unendur-
able. Add to the level armory
floor an overhanging gallery and
you have a theatre very suitable
for either of these towns. This is
Mr.. Chalmers idea and he has
worked it out in considerable de.
tail. The gallery seats would be
the best and command the best
price.
Popular subscription and the or
ganization of a stock company is
the only way of raising tn money
for the project that Mr.. Chalmers
can see. Should this be done the
request made to the city council to
execute bond guaranteeing main
tenance of an armory would not ap-
pear unreasonable News.

Hibbing local union has a mem
bership of 275, and has exclusive
Jurisdiction on the iron range, with
headquarters at Hibbing. 1t is
affiliated with the State Federation
of Labor, and in all respects con-
forms to the fundamental principles
of the trades union movement. The
local was organized in 1903 and has
ever since stood tor the integrity of
unionisn, and the maintenance of
it's principles by every Legitimate
means. The year 1907 was an ex.
ceptionally prosperous one, not
only for the local institution, but
for the international body as we'll.
During the year the international
added approximately $1,000 to it's
treasury, and at this writing, there
is in the treasury in round numbers
$23,OOO. This money is used when
the occasion requires it for pur.
poses garmane to the welfare of the
brotherhood. There is also an
optional funeral benefit of $lOO paid
to the survivors of such members
as saw fit during lite to contribute
certain pro rata assessment to
this special fund. The present
officers of the local are: Henry
frutig, president; Louis Boo, vice
president; Fred Brennan, secretary
treasurer. Mr.. Brennan is also the
general organizer of the brother
hood for the Mesaba range towns,
to which his entire time is devoted.
There is likewise board of three
trustees who perform such duties,
and possess such powers as are
prescribed in the organic law of
the order. The local holds regular

ment stores and the mail order
houses. Yet there is a principle in
advertising that ever holds good.
This principle is as sound for the
little merchant, the dealer in any
kind of wares, as it is for the big
gest concern on earth. In fact, the
great business houses generally
had a small beginning, and by pub
licity pushed up to the front. Did
people of agricultural and other
districts fully realize how the mil
lions taken to the large cities by
the mail order system causes them
direct injury, it would not be long
before these concerns were put out
