Fogy Ideas

A dispatch from st. Paul says:
Gen. c. c. Andrews, executive Of
ficer of the state forestry board, and
Santa Claus are on the outs.
General Andrews has declared
his intention today of opening war
on the men who cut down the fes-
tive Christmas trees in northern
Minnesota. Geneaal Andrews
states that annually 100000 small
trees mostly spruce-are cut in
northern Minnesota, not only for
decoration by Santa Claus in Min
nesota homes, but for general use
In northwest states, and even to
supply the Chicago market. Cen
eral Andrews state that those who
cut these trees do not do so in the
heavily wooded districts where such
cutting thins the forests to advan-
tage, but that they do the cutting
in spots where young trees are
growing on either burnt or cut-over
lands; that this cutting is despoil-
er of natures efforts towards refor-
estation of these waste lands. The
state forestry board meets this week
and it is probable some action will
be taken by the board on General
Andrews suggestion to see what
can be done towards preventing the
agents of Santa Claus from doing
further damage in future years.

Company Stores

Supt. w. G.. West, of the Oliver
company in the Hibbing district, in
recent contribution to the Mesaba
Ore, says some things that are
worth remembering. From his ar
ticle we clip the following:
The development of the retail
business of the mining towns in the
lake region, fully told, is an inter-
esting story. The company store,
as it is usually called, was as ne
cessary in the new camp as the
commissary in the contractor S
camp, the wanigan to the drive, or
the supply department to the 1un-
Der camp. As rule it gave way
to the business men who were more
skilled in handling the commodi-
ties needed by mining population.
The first mining company in Mimi
sofa was obliged to maintain COM
missary and build a saw mill to
manufacture lumber for the first
frame house built in 1883 at the
Soudan location near Tower.
Within year or two the commits
sary was replaced by stores operat-
ed by men not connected with the
company, and the saw mill passed
into other hands. Stores operated
by mining companies or by men
affiliated with them are still operat-
ed in many places, of which Vul-
can and Norway on the Menomi-
nee; Butte, Montana, Bisbee and
Morenci, Arizona, are examples.
Lack of acquaintance with the bust
ness, abuse of credit extended, ex-
cessive waste, and the general pol
icy of encouragement to local bust
ness men are responsible for their
discontinuanee. The whole COM
n1unity is benefited as a result.
Skillfu1, ,shrewd, careful men are
established in business in every
town. AS a rule they are reason
ably prosperous. There is no rea-
son for extending credit for long
periods as is customary in the ag-
ricultura1 districts of the south and
west. Wages are invariably paid
In cash each month aud the amount
paid in the vicinity of Hibbing and
Chisholm must aggregate yearly
upward of IS, 900, 900. The amount
of business done has increased prac-
tica1ly in the same proportion as
that done by the mining companies.
Conditions, good or bad affect both
alike.
Sharp competition, good bust
ness methods and increased re-
sources have made possible better
and larger places of business, in
creased the size and variety of
stocks of merchandise, and install
ed in these places as broad gauge
men as can be found in any calling
or any community. They are keen,
alert, broad minded and wide-awake
to the best interest of their town. !"

Prince Herman of Sake Weimar, to

Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra, which

The first announcement that the or
chestra was to visit America caused dis
satisfaction in musical circles. Music
lovers of Germany have looked upon the
surviving product of Wagner's genius as
a sacred institution, which was never to
leave its native country. The king has
finally overruled opposition to the propo-
sition.
Elaborate plans are making for the
tour Of the orchestra. 1t is not probable
the company will leave for the United
States until April. 1903
ALI the concerts in the United States
will be conducted by an American who
is only twenty-three years of age. Vic

Ind. is associate director of the Dresden
Philharmonic Orchestra. Owing TO his
phenomenal success I'm directing the con-
certs of the orchestra the duties of head

200 Clear Nights.

Reports indicate that there are 200 fully
clear nights in year at San Luis. twice
the number Of clear nights experienced in
the New England and middle states.
While there are thirty or forty Observa-
tories in the northern hemisphere. there
are not more than five Or six of CORES
ponding rank in the southern hemisphere.
The astronomers of that hemisphere are
said to be in need of reinforcements. They
are in special need of such help now
when their leading observatories are abb
sOrbed in the work of the photographic
chart which consists in taking and
measuring photographs of the southern
sky in detail-a work in progress and
partly completed at northern Observator-

Of the southern observatories one is
at the Cape Of Good Hope, coordinate
with the Royal observatory at Greenwich:
another is In Argentina. at Cordoba. The
latter was founded in 1872 by Dr. Ben

May 10th. The Mission of the
Holy Spirit. John 18th chapter 26th
verse, and John 10Th chapter, 4th to
10th verse.
AS all know who have been students
of the lesson the last two weeks, we
have been learning as to what Jesus
told His disciples and US, just before
He was betrayed and crucifed. In
the lesson of last week Jesus
gave US the precious promise of a
home in heaven which He said He
was going to prepare for each of
those who loved Him. In the verses
which we study to-day He tells how
on going away from the earth in
bodily form. a comforter. helper
would come which would guide and
direct along ways which would
strengthen every christian. How
precious to every one are the words
of Jesus at this time, 81 will not
leave you comfortless; l will come
to you" Millions of Christians have
testified to the truth of this promise
in the past, and one has but to ask
any christian they know of now, to
have confirmation that the blessed
promise has been fulfilled in his or
her life.
Jesus said that the Comforter. the
Holy Spirit should teach christians
all things. guide then into all truth.
This incoming of the Holy Ghost is
one of the mysteries of the christian
religion. When studying the history
of the disciples. we can see the diff
ference in their conduct. before ano
after receiving the Holy Spirit. Jesus
said that the incoming of the Spirit
was like the coming of the wind. we
could see the results. but not tel
whittier it came. There are men ant
women about us whom we feel have
the spirit of God dwelling in them
There are others whose life and char
acter seemed dominated by the spirit
of unrest. antagonism to the people
about them. who think evil of thei
neighbor. and not good. Even the lit
tie children know the difference be
tween people along this line. l
