loo Supply GETTING Low

The log supply for the big Virgil

terests is getting low, it being ex-
pected to finish the present supply
in Silver Lake the first Of the week.
The company has many men in
the woods and are reopening camps
all along the line, but have been
timid about running engines into
the timber during the dry spell for
fear of fire The rains of the present
week, however, will obviate this
danger aud it is probable trains
will be put on the first of the week
and logs furnished for a steady
continuance of mill work.
The old mill is at the present
time undergoing needed repairs
and in another fortnight both the
old and new mills will be running
double shift, furnishing employ
ment to an army of men between
the mills and woods.

hsllER WINS BY LARGE MAJORITY
Bede's Friendship for Speaker Cannon
Assigned BY Many as Cause
of Defeat.

The primaries on Tuesday show
ed who was who in the eighth con-
gressional district in a most decis-
i've if not most satisfactory man
ner, and while the edict of the peO-
pie may not have struck respon-
sive chord in the hearts Of some it
is up to the minority to acquiesce
with due graciousness.
The returns show that Clarence
B. Miller, the Duluth News Tribune
candidate, carried every county in
the district with the exception of
Pine, Mr.. Bede's home county re-
turning him a majority of about
$50, the total of Mr.. Miller's najori.
ties in the other eight counties ag-
gregating approximately 7,OOO-the
largest majority ever accorded
candidate in the district.
The direct cause of the defeat of
Mr. Bede is assigned by all to his
defense of Speaker Cannon and his
friendship for the autocratic ruler
of the house, who mas been cursed
by the people as whole.
AS tO whether or not Mr.. Miller
will commit the injndicious act Of
becoming on friendly terms with
Mr.. Cannon after taking up the du-
ties of his position is not known,
but even though he is given an op-
portunity of voting with majority
in the organization Of the next
house it is not likely he will be gull
ty of such an indiscretion und er the
circ un stances.
In the passing of Mr.. Bede the
district loses a man who has been
| ever alert to the needs of his con-
stituency as whole, the grand to-
tai of appropriations received for
the district during his term of five
years in the service amounting to
upwards of 5000 per day on an av-
erage.
Of this vast amount Virginia re-
ceived the first appropriation ever
given city outside of Duluth in
the history of the district when
through the efforts of Mr. Bede in
the last session an appropriation
OF $4,000 for a federal building at
this point was included in the ON.
