SEVEN CARGOES
in Big LOG RAFT
EIGHT MILLION FEET OF PINE
AND FIR TO BE ToWED TO
JAPAN.

Everett, Wash, Nov. 22.-The
worlds largest log raft, go feet long
and holding 100000 feet of timber, is
nearing completion at Everett, after
which an attempt will be made to
tow the big cigar shaped boom to
Nagasaki, Japan.
The big raft will draw twenty eight
feet Of water. It is being built in a
cradle like ship and is anchored near
shore in shallow water. The frame
work resembles a skeleton of a ship
having a double keel with strong knee
braces near the bilge.
Piles OF every length from twenty
feet to 100 feet long are woven to the
framework and chained. Derricks are
busy lifting logs into this big hollow
cone. The logs are laid with ends
overlapping like brick work. AS soon
as the raft is full of logs, inch and
one-half chains will be frightened
around the body of the raft at inter-
walls Of twelve feet. A great hawser.
two inches thick, runs through the
raft lengtnwise to which the towing
cables are attached.
Two powerful ocean going tugs will
undertake the task of guiding the
great raft of logs across the Pacific. A
vessel OF big tonnage will follow at
hail distance bearing supplies for the
tugs. 1t is estimated the trip will take
sixty days, beginning about Jan. /. The
raft will contain seven large cargoes
and will save the owners $4,000, 900 In
tariffs.

L s. Champine, formerly of Fargo,

are now squirming on his retaliation.

That there is a law of compensation
there is additional proof in the pretty
little story that comes from Minot
regarding the, vociferous and wildly
protesting fair association in the
trouble that it borrowed concerning
L. S. Champine, the former secretary.
Officers Of the association had much
to say concerning an alleged delin-
quency of Mr.. Champine when he end
ed his hustling work as secretary of
the association. They wanted it set
tied, and they wanted it in cash. The
telegraph wires were none too slow
for the gentlemen who were talking
much. And Mr.. Champine went back
across the long miles from Minneapo-
lis and did what he thought he should
do. He did considerable. He quietly
went to work without noise and with
out fireworks and sued the fair ASSOC

didn't make any noise. He merely
acted. He didn't even say anything
in Williston about it, and only the ad-

Minot Reporter disclosed that the
handsome grounds of the fair associa-

ROADS BLAMED
FOR The WASTE
LUMBERMENs SAY THEY COULD
MARKET COMMON FIR "
RATES WERE CUT.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 22.-One bill
lion feet of lumber, or $4,000 carloads.
are destroyed by the mills of the
northwest annually because of the
poor market for the common grades
Of lumber.
Either the lumbermen burn 1t after
they have hauled it to their mills, or
they let 1t lay in the forest, where
the changing weather and forest fires
soon make it worthless.
This has been going on ever since
Washington and Oregon started to de-
velop their lumber product, and statis-
tics show that in the last fifteen years
approximately 100000 carloads have
been wasted. Lumbermen burn 10 per
cent as slabs for steam fuel and let 10
per cent remain in the woods.
The annual output Of the Washing
ton and Oregon mills is 5000, 900, 900
feet. One-fifth Of that, or 1000, 900, 900
feet, is wasted. The lumber destroyed
should net $500 a car, or $40 a thou
sand feet. The loss in fifteen years
has been upwards of $5S, 100000 and
the annual loss is now close to &c.,
100000
Lumbermen say they could make a
good profit on this waste lumber at
So a thousand at Missouri river points.
They complain that the freight rates
permit the lumber OF the yellow pine
districts of the sound to compete to
their exclusion. The matter is soon to
be Refreshed before the interstate
commerce commission. The lumber
men maintain the freight rates are
too high to Missouri river points.

FEDERAL INvEs IeAToRs WILL
REPORT TOMORROW MORNING
FOR THE ANNUAL SESSION.
THE CASES TO Be PRoRED ARE
KEPT IN THE DARK.

AT 8 o'clock tomorrow morning the
United States grand jury will convene
at the federal building for the annual
session, during which alleged infrac-
tons Of the government statutes viii
be investigated.
The jury will be charged by Judge
Charles F. Amidon at the opening of
the session in the court room, after
which they will retire to the grand
jury room, where business will be start
ed. U. 8. Dist. Atty p H Rourke will
be personally in charge of the body this
year, on account of the engagement Of
Asst. w. Fl. Barnett on the Kethman
murder trial across the river.
While 1t is known that several spe-
cial agents of the government have
made their headquarters in Fargo dur
ing the past several weeks, just what
the nature of their business is, has not
been disclosed. 1t is possible that land
frauds will receive a large part of the
attention Of the jury.

The Beaver Colonies.

The Beaver Colonies.
The beaver colonies mere are among
the few in the state. There are sew
eral dams and the number of beaver
has increased to about fifty. The beaver
originally came down the creek from
Canada and for few years were quite
a curiosity. Even yet many people go
out to the dams to see the busy an
imals, or endeavor to see them. The
beavers are very shy and wary and
it is exceedingly difficult to get a
cnance to watch them at their work.
There are other colonies Of beaver in
the Kenmare district several small
colonies in the Turtle Mountains and
a thriving one near Coal Harbor.
Hunter Killed Beaver.
Deputy Deichert stated that a report
had come to the game officers that a
beaver had been killed by hunter at
a point south of mere on the Mouse
river, but so far no evidence against
the guilty, party has been secured. One
story of the affair is that the hunter
saw an animal swimming In the river
and killed it. When he had brought
it out on the bank he did not know
what he had killed and called another
man over to examine it. Learning
that he had Internationally violated
the law he has since kept quiet.
lrappers Are Fined.
On his way to this city Deicnert
stopped at Russell and looked into re-
ports that parties were engaged in
trapping along the Mouse river with
out a'license and in some cases taking
fur bearing animals before the OPEN
ing Of the season. AS a result of his
investigation George w. Hill and Ole
N. Halla were hailed before Justice
Wilson of Russell and convicted and
fined. This being their first offense.
at least the first time they were
caught, they were let off easy The
fine was $40 each and the total Of
fines and costs for each about $25. I'm
der the circumstances they got off
with light punishment but the game
warden believes that the circumstan-
ces should be considered in each case.
Some hunters, and especially some
trappers, do not seem to know that a
license is required in the taking Of
fur-bearing animals.
Furs Were confiscated.
When TIE warden approached Hill
he said that he had a license, but it
was his shack. When invited to
go up to the place and snow up the
license he remembered that he had not
taken one out this year. Nevertheless
Deichert went up and looked over the
furs taken by the trappers. The sea-
son was only three days old at the
time and some of the mink and musk
rat hides were dried to an extent that
plainly showed they had been taken a
couple of weeks before. The skins
were confiscated.
Laws Must Be obeyed.
Deichert states that there are other

HOTEL RATES Went
Up ON SATURDAY
FIRST CLASS AMERICAN PLAN
HOUSES OVER STATE RAISED
RATES rs CENTS ON THAT DAY
MOVE DECIDED AZ MEETING
OF ASSOCIATION IN FARGO.

Saturday the first class American
plan hotels OF Fargo, as well as all the
better grade houses in the state raised
their rates rs cents. This applied to
American plan hotels only, the houses
OF the European class remaining the
same.
This change was made as a result
of meeting Of the North Dakota Ho-
tel Mems association, which met in
Fargo on Nov 8, when it was announc-
cd that on and after Nov. 20 the rates
would be increased because of the in
creased price of all commodities.
Travelling men and others stopping
at hotels and not knowing Of the
change were of the belief for a few
minutes that they were being held up
until the matter was explained to them.
1t has been a long time since the ho-
tells have boosted their rates and the
move was necessary If the houses
would CONTINUE to give the same high
class service that has existed in the
past. This move affects all Ameri-
can plan houses of the higher order tn
the state.
The hotels that this ruling effects
are:

search warrants and, in company with
the city marshal, drove out to the farm
home of James Shell, one of the par
ties complained of in the matter Mr.
Shell lives near Antler creek, about
three miles northwest of this place.
Shell was at home and Deputy Deichert
told him the reason for the visit and
that he was accused of molesting the
beaver colony, destroying dams and
houses and killed beaver. Shell de-
MED the charges in toto. He was then
served with the warrant and invited to
accompany the officers in a search of
the premises. The top floor of the
house was searched in such a thorough
manner that Shell, being convinced
that the searchers would discover all
the facts, admitted that he had a
beaver pelt in his possession.
She'll Tells Dog Story,
He said, however, that the animal in
question had been crippled by his dog,
that 1t was shot to put it out of it's
misery and that it would have died in
any case. The game officer called his
attention to the fact that it made no
difference how the beaver was killed
or why, even If there was any likeli-
hood Of his version being true, that
the provisions of the law were such
that it was an offense against the stat
ute to have beaver pelt in ones pos
session.
Shell was arrested and placed under
bonds of 5000 TO appear in court on
Dec. 10 to answer for his offense.
Anderson Broke Dam.
Deichert then visited the home of
Nels Anderson, another farmer living
mile and half further west. Ander-
son was not at home, but after a wait
of about a half hour he was seen APP
preaching. He was charged with the
same offense as that brought home TO
Shell and denied his guilt, so far as
killing beaver was concerned, but adj
mitted that he had disturbed the dams,
giving as his reason for so doing. that
the dams caused the water to rise to
such height in the creek that it in
1ured his farm and caused him serious
Inconvenience in getting from one part
Of his farm to the other In spite of
the fact that the rumor connected him
with the killing of beaver, a search de-
veloped no proof and Deputy Deichert
had to content himself for the present
with giving Anderson warning to OBJ
