The joint reception given the new
pastors of the Methodist Episcopal
and Presbyterian churches was a
unique event and affords White a dis
tinction that falls to the lot of a few
towns. The writer has never known
of another instance of the kind. AS
a usual thing though working for the
same end and serving the same Master
the fraternal bond between churches
of different denominations is not suf-
ticiently strong to admit of such a de-
lightful occasion as was enjoyed by
those present at the Presbyterian
church Friday night. These are the
only English speaking churches in
town and the most cordial spirit of
fraternity unites them. Both received
new pastors neal the same time. The
Presbyterian minister arrived nearly
a month the earlier but a formal re-
ception was delayed until the expected
arrival of the Methodist's new pas
tor Wien both churches united in one

PROSPECTS FOR

We understand that J. C. Jacobson,
the architect, has purchased lot
from E. Roenius facing towards the
Lincoln School building and just
north of the house he sold to Mr.. De-
Guere. 1t is Mr.. Jacobson's inten-
ton to erect new modern house
on this lot, either this fall or early
next spring. The claying and grad
ing of Lincoln street recently is max
ing this street more desirable for
fine residences Mr. Roenius has
only three lots left facing on this
street and we understand there are
several prospective customers for
them with the intention of erecting
new homes.
We consider this part of the city
a very desirable location. Situated
upon a bluff, overlooking the south
ern part of the city, makes fine
view. From this point you are not
far from the postoffice and all parts
of the business center of trade.

BIG TIMBER
OPERATION
United States Forest Service
Has Just Finished One of the
Largest Timber Operations
in Years.

Washington, June 24.-With brush
burning just completed on the Bad
River Indian Reservation in Wiscon-
sin under the supervision of the
United States Forest Service, the
largest timber operation in that part
of the Lake States for a great many
years is brought to a close. Follow
ing the disastrous fires throughout
the north woods during the summer
of 1908, it was evident that logging
operations must be extended over
the Bad River Reservation on an
enormous scale to save the timber
which was fatally burned by these
fires. Accordingly the J. S. Stearns
Lumber Company contracted to log
all of the burned timber of the res
ervation. The normal annual cut of
this Company on the reservation was
about 65,000,000 feet a year, but by
the time the reservation had been
cruised and contracts let for logging
the timber, it was found that the
operations would have to be nearly
trebled. The total cut for the winter
amounted to approximately 165, 100000
feet, nearly all white pine, with the
average price received between sew
en- and eight dollars. After deduct
ing ten cents per thousand feet for
of ricin
the remaining proceeds are placed
to the credit of the Indians on the
reservation.
Twenty-six logging camps were es-
tabllshed on the reservation, and
the average number of men employed
was about 5000 Thirty-one scalers
were required to do the scaling and
they were constantly check scaled
by three inspectors directed by the
Forest Service. The greater part of
the logs were hauled to Bad River,
which is now damned with logs for
about forty miles. To manufacture
this immense cut of small logs, the
J. S. Stearns Lumber Company found
it necessary to purchase two saw
mills in addition to their own, and to
contract with three other sawmills
situated on Lake Superior in the
vicinity of Ashland
According to the contract. it was
required that the tops and slash left
by this operation should be burned.
Brush burning began the latter part
OF April and has been conducted by
force of men ranging from 500 to
900. In many cases it was found
necessary to open the old logging
camps and install full crews to carry
on this brush burning. Strips at
least 800 feet wide adjoining green
unburned timber are required to be
cleared of all inflamable brush by
burning it. By this method of brush
burning it will be practically impos-
sible for fires to spread so extern
s1vely as in the past. By a con-
templated cooperation with the J. S.
Stearns Lumber Company, it is
planned to hold sufficient force
available to combat any fire which
may start on the reservation during
the summer season, and with the
assistance of the fire lines made by
burning wide strip adjoining green
timber, it is probable that loss from
fire on the reservation will be re.
duced to minimum.

LADIES AID SOCIETIES
HAVE A JOINT PICNIC

Wednesday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. E. w. Ellis the East and
West Side Ladies Aid Societies of
the Congregational church held a pic
mic meeting. The ladies of the diff
ferent societies were at this time
to hand in money earned and in
poetry tell how they earned it. The
East Side ladies were to earn two,
the West Side one dollar The money
was earned in various ways, but per-
haps the most unique way was that
of one of the West Side ladies who
helped her husband 1athe their new
home, for which she received the
amount of three cents per yard for
work done
The poems read, telling how the
money was earned, were very clever
and were the cause of much merri-
ment. Many of the members did not
stop at earning the necessary one
Or two dollars, but earned as much
as they could in the time given One
woman handing in over six dollars.
Altogether it netted the East Side
$97.81 and the West Side $3.50.
After the reading of the poems a
very dainty picnic supper was served
on the lawn The women felt amply
repaid for their work
