Representative J. J. Opsahl, of
Benidji, who was in the country
north of here with a party of four
teen, returned to the city Wednes-
day. 1t was at first suspected that
Mr.. Opsah1 had met with some ac-
cident as all but four of the party
returned on Monday afternoon.
The canoe with the Opsah1 party
remained over several hours in or
der to give lady i'll the party time
to recover her temporary indispo-
sition.
A relief party was organized to
go out Wednesday morning but on
arrival at the dock the main party
arrived.
Mr.. Opsahl is one of the best

EXPERl j.
Two Children Lost in the
Woods. Hard Time

Two girls of Jack Untinen, aged
respectively 9 and Is years, Monday
morning drove the cattle to pasture
and failed to return. The family
lives on farm between White Iron
and and Birch Lakes and the coun-
try in their immediate nighborhood
is in an unsettled condition.
The same afternoon a large par
ty of neighbors secured the woods
but no trace of the missing children
were found. Tuesday morning a
posse from this city went out to
that country and worked all day
but nothing availed. Wednesday
morning several crowds drove out.
The posses from town were recruit
ed and sent out by Mayor Murphy
Officer Carlson of the city police be-
ing among the NUMBER.
Wednesday morning, thechildren
were found by searching party
composed of Matt Wierimaa, Chas,
Jokonen, Elof Alfalfa, Matt Seikk-
ula and Erick Erickson. They
were nearly exhausted and in a de-
plorable state, the younger one be-
ing practically unable to move and
was lying on the ground. Their
bodies was swollen and fly bitten
most pitifully.
The older one claimed she heard
shouting the day before but could
not locate the sound. The child
rem were found about three and a
half miles from home and were
taken to the first house and thor
oughly warmed up, small quantities
of hot milk being administered.
The weather was beast1y during
their rambles, rainy and cold. All
the clothes either wore was a night
dress.
The family feel very thankful for
those who assisted i'll the search.

PulpWOOd

A preliminary report OF the con-
sumption of pulpwood and the
amount of pulp manufactured last
year has just been issued by the
Bureau or the Census. The adj
vance statement is made from the
statistics collected by the Census
Bureau in cooperation with the
United States Forest Service.
Many of the figures bring out in
teresting facts which show the rapid
growth of the paper making and
allied industries during the last de-
cade. Nearly 100000 cords of
wood, in exact numbers 1862, 500
cords, were used in the United
States in the manufacture of paper
pulp last year, just twice as much
as was used in 1899, the first year
for which detailed figures were
available. More than two and one
half million tons of pulp were pro-
duced. The pulp mills used 3OO,-
900 more cords of wood in 1907
than in the previous year.
The amount of spruce used was
6S percent of the total consumption
of pulpwood, or 100000 cords.
The increased price of spruce has
turned the attention of paper man
ufacturers to a number of other
woods, hem1ock ranking next with
$4,000 cords, or IA per cent of the
total consumption. More than 9

Midsummer Day

Matt Meitunen, as a delegate
from the Finnish Midsummer So
ciety from this city, was in Duluth
a few days this week in attendance
of the convention arranging for
the annual celebration. 1t was de-
cided to hold the Midsummer cele-
bration at Lincoln Park, Duluth,
on June "a.
The Finnish people of the county
are the prime movers in this affair,
ahd this year will hold the conven-
ton in Duluth in place of the range
towns. -
For the past several years the
Finnish branch of the Socialist
Society have been butting into
the Midsummer festivities simply
because they were Firms, and have
created considerable disturbance.
The sentiment of the meeting was
that no Socialistic talk would be
tolerated and that it would be bet,
ter to have this class suppressed fol
the good of the nationality. The
majority of the Finnish people are
not in sympathy with the move,
ment and desire not to be confound.

COMMENCEMENT
Exercises at the High
School Last Evening

Nearly one thousand people were
at the High School Auditorium last
evening to witness the Fifth An
nual graduating exercises of the
Ely High School. Every available
space in thecommodious auditorium
was utilized to care for the crowd.
The exercises were opened with
an overture by the Lacrosse orches-
ira of five pieces from Duluth, fol-
lowed by the salutatory address and
Grafton on Immigration by Tom
Harri. The valedictory address
and Grafton was given by Miss Au-
drey Miller her subject being Child
Labor" The orchestra furnished
music between each number. Both
of the above subjects were handled
by the graduating speakers i'll
masterful manner, showing excel
lent preparation.
Geo. F. James, Phi. D., Univer-
sity of Minnesota, delivered the
commencement address using for
his subject Education and Ef6cien-
cy." By far the larger amount of
those present considered Mr.. James
one of the best speakers ever heard
in the city and while he is no fin
ished orator, his address left much
food for thought. After the adj
dress by Mr.. James, the diplomas
were presented to the thirteen gra-
duates.
Those who received certificates
were:
Emily Petherick Tom Harri
Edith Trezona Myrtle Hedloff
Ethel Prisk Ada Wickrnan
Lott Gianotti Clarence Williams
Emor Ellefsen Will Trezona
Myrtle Holmes Anna Mitchell
Audrey Miller
After the exercises a reception
was held. The graduates received
the congratulations of the entire
assemblage. While this was in
progress, ushers were removing the
chairs from the floor and some three
hundred people amused themselves
until nearly three o'clock with two
steps and waltzs to the excellent
music of the orchestra.
The commencement exercises of
the Winton schools were held We'd
nesday evening and the hall was
filled to the doors, Many from this
city attended the exercises and all
report most excellent entertain
ment.
Today the annual school picnic
is on at Sandy Point. The high
school band is in attendance and a
good time with games and lunches
is being had.
All the schools of the district
close for the year under the most
suspicious circumstances.
This has been a very instructive
school year for the district and
much credit is due the various in
structors. All the teachers will
leave in few days for their various
homes.

mainder consisted ofrelatively small
amounts of pine, cottonwood, bal
sam and other woods.
There was marked increase last
year in the importation of spruce,
which has always been the most
popular wood for pulp. For num-
Der of years pulp manufacturers of
this country have been heavily i'm
porting spruce from Canada, since
the available supply of this wood in
the north-central and New England
states, where most of the pulp mills
are located, is not equal to the de-
mand. Figures show that the
amount of this available pulpwood
brought into this country was more
than two and one half times as
great in 1907 as in 1899. In 1907
the importations were larger than
ever before, being rs percent great
er than in 1906. The spruce inn
ports last year amounted to more
than one third of the consumption
of spruce pulpwood. Only a slight
ly greater amount of domestic
spruce was used than in 1906.
Large qualities of hemlock were
used by the Wisconsin pulp mills,
and the report shows that the Bea-
yer State now ranks third in pulp
production, New York and Maine
ranking first and second, respec-
lively. Poplar has been used for
long time in the manufacture of
high grade paper, but the supply
of this wood is limited and the con-
sumption of it has not increased
rapidly.
Wood pulp is usually made by
either one of two general processes,
mechanical or chemical. In the
mechanical process the wood, after
being cut into suitable sizes and
barked, is held against revolving
grindstones in a stream of water
and thus reduced to pulp. In the
chemical process the barked wood
is reduced to chips and cooked in
large digesters with chemicals which
destroy the cementing material of
the fbers and leave practically pure
ce11u1ose. This is then washed and
screened to render it suitable for
paper making. The chemicals or
dinari1y used are either bi-sulphite
of lime or caustic soda. A little
over half of the pulp manufactured
last year was made by the sulphite
process, and about one third by the
mechanical process, the remainder
being produced by the soda process.
Much of the mechanical pulp, or
ground wood as it is generally call
ed, is used in the making of news
paper. It is never used alone in
making white paper but always
used with some sulphite fiber to
give the paper strength. A cord
of wood ordinarily yields about one
ton of mechanical pulp or about
one half ton of chemical pulp.

DEATH STRUGGLE
WITH A SHARK
Japanese Seized Near Mana
as He was Leaving
the Water.

From Kauai comes a most remark
able story OF a man killed by a shark.
a number of japanese, about thirty in
all. We're fishing with giant powder at
Mana on the western shore of Kauai
a week ago Wednesday. A stick of
the giant powder had been exploded
in the water and number of fish were
floating stunned on the surface. One
of the Japanese swan out to gather
them in. There is no beach there. but
the shore drops of abruptly into deep
water. The japanese had gathered
quite a number OF the fish and foated
them in toward shore. near enough so
that he had begun throwing them on
land, when his companions saw
shark swimming toward him. They
called out to him to warn him of his
danger, and he at once put for the
shore. He had actually risen out of
the water with one foot on the ground,
when the shark seized him by the
other leg, and dragged him back and
under the surface. Almost immediate
ly both rose again. and TO the amaze
ment OF his companions, apparently in
order to try TO save himself from the
shark, the Jap had thrown his arms
around the body of the monster. The
water was red with his blood. seem
insIy his leg having been taken off,
and almost instantly he went down
again and disappeared for good.
