Jas. j. Hill OF the Northern
Pacific says:
Freight cars will be at a
premium within a few weeks.
We of the railroad world judge
the prosper ty of the nation as
much by the number of idle cars
as anything else. Throughout
the past year there have been
thousands idle, but they will soon
be rolling about the country
filed with freight"
Taking care of orders for steel
cars is to be one of the great
problems before the mills in the
near future and will probably
place the eastern mills of the
Steel corporation in as congested
a condition as are the mills about
Chicago at present.
These orders have already
commenced and are coming in
steady volume. The Chesapeake
and Ohio placed an order early
last week for 200 freight cars
with the American Car and
Foundry Company, the Standard
Steel Car Company and the
Pressed Steel Gar Company,
while the American Car and
Foundry Company has recently
received an order for 1000 hop
per bottom cars.
There are now in the market
inquiries from the Pennsylvania
Railroad asking bids from the
Carnegie Steel Company on 90.
600 all.steel freight cars, from
the Baltimore and Ohio on 5000
and from the Northwestern on
5000. The Carnegie company,
including the rail department, is
filed with orders to the extent
of SO per cent. and for five weeks
ahead has all of its output TAX
en-, including rails.
On Saturday the car service o .
the American Railway Associa-
tion showed for the fortnight a
decrease of 3,545 In idle cars.
OF this decrease 1,009 were gon-
dola and coal cars.
1t is now thought that the
Kowloon-Canton Railway in
China will be opened IN the
spring of 1910. The line is
eighty miles long, including a
tunel 1000 feet in length,
pierced at a cost one-thlrd of
the entire road.

PROFESSION
OF FORESTRY.
Government is Employing
Young Men Graduates in
New Work.
HOW 1T IS DONE AND The
QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY.

seven young graduates OF nine
American Forest Schools have
just received. appointments as
Forest Assistants In the United
States Forest Service. But five
of these appointments have been
assigned to the Washington Of
fee, the other forty-two receiv-
ing appointments in the six
Administrative Districts in the
West. These men nave secured
their appointments as result of
passing the regular Civil Service
examination, which is the only
avenue of employment as for
ester under the government.
Forest Assistants are men who
have completed thir preliminary
training for the forestry, as the
graduates of law or medicine
have completed theirs, and are
ready to enter upon practical
work. Until they have gained
experience, however. their posi-
tions are necessarily subordi-
nate. They are at the foot of
the ladder and must prove their
fitness to mount higher. The
government pays them 1000 a
year at the start.
On the National Forests the
Forest Assistant often acts as
technical adviser to the Super
visors in charge, who are west
ern men experienced in all
practical matters, but usually
without school training in the
science of forestry. Or they
may be assigned to the study of
some particular problem which
needs to be Investigated in the
interest of good forest manage
ment. As forestry means know
ing how to get the most out of
any given piece of forest land, it
calls for studies and experiments,
both scientific and practical,
much like those which have to
be made in the interests of good
farm management, and the For
est Assistant is prepared to do
valuble work along this line.
There is a growing interest In
the profession ofs1Sorestry now,
and many young men are asking
how to get into it, and what it
promises. Clifford Pinchot,
United States Forester, in an ad-
dress to the graduating class in
forestry at Harvard University
this year, said:
"The government and the coun-
try need more men trained In
the knowledge uf forestry, and
it offers opportunity to make a
mans life loom large and to
count for much among the many |
phases of human endeavor. To
be good forester a man should
combine something of the natur-
alist with a good deal OF the |
business man. To know how to
use the forest he must be able to
study it. He must have, there
fore, the power OF observation, a
fondness for nature, and the
ability to penetrate her secrets.
He must be resourceful, able to |
stand by himself. willing to I'M
dergo the privations of rough |
life, and capable of commanding |
the respect of rough. men, who
quickly recognize virIlty and
gennineness of character, but
will not tolerate -pretense or the
assumption OF superiority. A
forester should be sound in mind
and body, and should make the
fullest college preparation for
the service. This service means
free, vigorous life in the open
air, and clear, straight, fine,
wholesome manly condition Of
life"

THE POTATO MARKET
IPrices Have Ranged From SO to 43
Cents Per Bushel for Early
Varieties During Week.
Potatoes Being Marketed Are of Good
Quality-Yield Will Probably
Approach the Average.

Potatoes and Rose-have
been coming in freely this week and
every warehouse has received it's
share. The prices paid have ranged
from 38 to 43 cents per bushel, which
is considered fairly good for this
early in the season. There has not
been heavy shipment during the
week, but something like twenty cars
have been dispatched to various
points.
Today the price has dropped to 35c.
The quality of the potatoes now
being marketed is on the average
good-much better than at the COM
nencement of the season when many
Of the potatoes brought in were
affected with rot. In some sections,
farmers tell us, the crop of late pota-
toes will not pan out we'll in conse-
'quence of the early frosts, while in
other sections an average yield is
promised. From reports at hand we
should estimate that the crop in this
section will approach somewhere near
that of last year but, as every one
knows, it is difficult matter to esti-
mate crop.

in this country whose place it will be
harder to fill. It is greatly to be re-
GREETED that Mr.. Hartman could not
live to complete all the work which he
had set out to do.
"There should not be any serious
financial disturbance as the result of
his death. All Mr.. Harriman's
properties are in good shape. He was
not one who would have his affairs so
situated that the wolves could prey
upon them. The great railroad sys-
tenn which he has created will run
along as usual, and somehow or other
his place will be filed, for all of us
die and yet the world wags on.
''Mr. Hartman suffered intensely
during his illness. He was beyond
human aid. In view of the suffering
which he had to undergo and which
he faced so bravely, I believe that he
is happier now. The people of the
United States are not likely to forget
the great work which he has accom-
plished for them"

Viewed IN the Right Light.

Every newspaper finds its para
graphs appropriated, once in while,
by some enterprising contemporaries
which pass them off for their own
without giving an acknowledgment.
Referring to this "piracy," the
veteran editor of the Princeton
Union says: occasionally one
editor calls down another for failing
to give proper credit for an item. An
editor who can pen a paragraph that
is worthy of being stolen should feel
highly complimented. That is the
right way to look at the matter. Lord
Byron admits that he appropriated
everything of literary merit, and
Lowell says there is nothing original
anyway. Clergymen, as we'll as edi-
tors, have often been charged with
plagiarism or literary theft. It may
be all right to reproduce the ideas Of
others, but when such a man as Mark
Twain gives whole passages verbatim,
without referring to the original
writer, he goes too far. But Their
Twain is a humorist. Irish Standard

Public and Private Scales.

The city of Anoka, in response to
popular clamor, purchased and in
stalled public weighing scales. The
scales are not patronized sufficiently
to pay the salary of the weigher. The
city council has enacted an ordinance
making it misdemeanor, punishable
by fine or imprisonment, for private
parties to do public weighing. The
owners of private scales say they will
continue to weigh for all Corners
despite the ordinance. The question
is has the council the right to prohib-
it the owners of private scales from
weighing for all who may choose to
patrOniZe their scales? We shall
await the outcome of a test case with
interest. It does seem that if farmer
or any one else desires to have his
produce weighed on public or private
scales it is nobody's business but his
own, and we do not believe any court
of equity will hold otherwise.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Mr.. Brossidy, Residing Five Miles
North of Elk River, Narrowly
Escapes Tragic Death.
While Driving Wagon He is Precipi-
tated on Rein Supporter and
Abdomen is Confused.

On Sunday night DR.. Cooney was
called into consultation by DR..
Parsons Of Elk River regarding the
condition of Mr.. Brossidy, who lives
about five miles north of that place.
Brossidy, while engaged in driving a
wagon, was by a sudden lurch of the
vehicle thrown forward upon the point
OF the piece of wood used to support
the reins and as result received a
serious confusion of the abdomen.
DR.. Cooney made an exploratory in
clsion and found that one of the large
blood vessels had been ruptured and
the abdominal cavity flooded with the
blood therefrom. The man was at the
time in a very precarious condition,
but be is now reported to be on fair
way toward recovery.

pany, the Rum River Lumber COM
pany, J. W. Mcclure and the village

served by the sheriff of Washington
county upon number of interested
loggers residing at Saltwater.
This action has been brought for
the purpose of having two dams on
Rum river RACED and to secure an
injunction against their further
maintenance for the reason, it is
alleged, that these dams cause the
inundation of FIVE hundred acres of
meadow land adjacent to the Rum
river and Lake Onamia.

A Strenuous Day,

Sunday was strenuous day for the
little fellow who accompanied three
long-legged, toughened nimrods on a
chicken hunt. The little chap carried
heavy shotgun and haversack full
of grub, and even without this handi-
cap he would have experienced con-
siderable difficulty in keeping abreast
of the stalwart fellows whom he &C.
,companied. AS result of his efforts
to keep in line-making four steps to
every one taken by his companions
he became tagged out and was com.
PEELED to stop for rest, but the
others refused to wait and he eventu-
ally became lost in swamp. He
wandered here and there until he
found himself in mudhole. He had
suddenly been swallowed up by
mother earth and was only prevented
from going below the chin line by his
gun, which he held crosswise on the
surface. It was long time before he
could free himself and, when he
eventually crawled from the hole he
was sight to behold-mud from
head to foot-and his companions
were probably miles away. He had
plenty of cartridges and shot off
several charges to attract attention.
1t was not until 6 O'Clock, however,
that his companions were enabled to
locate him, and then he managed to
amble to the place where the buggy
had been left, two miles away. He is
still stiff from the experience and
declares that never more in all his life
will he 60 forth hunting with trio

A Lawyer of National Fame.

The so-called Minnesota Shippers
association, otherwise one George
LOTUS, takes a nasty dig at Frank
Kellogg intimating that he is fraud
and that the name of "trust buster, -
gained while engaged for the govern
ment against certain corporate in
terests under the direction of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, is misnomer. Even
Roosevelt's worst enemies will not
say that his efforts to control the
trusts were not sincere. It is very
evident that Mr.. Kellogg had the
entire confidence of the ex-president
and there is no proof that he betrayed
it. It will take more than the empty
mouthings of LOTUS to discredit Mr..
Kellogg either as man or as a
lawyer of national fame Preston
