necessary dog-tag to insure them from
falling into his hands. Wednesday
one or two more were deprived of the
freedom of the streets by the dog
catcher, but yesterday they were given
a brief respite.
Some of the dogs have since been
redeemed, but others have already
passed into the happy hunting grounds
of dogdom, SO that yesterday after
noon there we're but seven Of the
quadrupeds, which have been called
imam 8 best friend,' left in the dog
pound Some of those, however, were
to have met their doom last night.
It your dog does not show up some

Farmers dogs are not exempt from
the dog-catcher's hands, and if you do
not want your dog taken to the pound

Most OF the dogs SO far caught are Of
the small Size, but are of different
colors and breeds.

ON l0-n0UR SCHEDULE
Pine Tree Mill Reverted
g. Ito the Old Shift Last
Monday

The Pine Tree Manufacturing COM
any's big sawmlll, which, since May
30. has been running on eleven hour
shifts, on last Monday reverted to
the ten hour shift. This was
hailed with joy by most of the en-
ployes Of the company, who have
found the extra hour very tedious
one.
The change to the eleven.hour
shifts was made when the mill re-
sumed operations after an enforced
idIeness OF about three weeks, due to
the breaking OF the main steel shaft
of the big engine operating the mill.
Since then, the loss OF time has been
made up, and it is not found necessary
to continue the increased hour day,
hence the going back to the ten-hour
shifts.

SORTING WORkSCl0SfD
Will Not Open Again This
Season Unless Water
Of River Raises

The drive from Brainerd to this
city by Jud freeman and Ed. Lavoie
crews was completed last Friday,
and on Saturday the com b1ned crews
commenced the work of taking drive
of approximately so, 600, 900 feet of logs
to st. Cloud. The slow stage of the
river makes driving very difficult and
the progress is low. At st. Cloud the
Lavoie and the Otis Webb crews will
combine and take the drive to the
Mill city. This will be the last
drive to the Minneapolis mills this
season.
AS no logs are coming down from
above, the crew under j. s. Murphy at
the sorting works was laid off Mon
day, and. unless there IS a rise In
the river soon. will not be put on
again this season.

OLD COINS PUT INTO ClKCULA
TION.

Last Friday two very old coins made
their appearance in this city, when an
aged settler of this county purchased
ticket at the local depot for
Philadelphia. He pulled out three
twenty dollar gold pieces to pay for
the tickets. One was dated 1889 and
the words In God We Trust was not
imprinted on it, and another was
dated l847.
MIR. Blllstein, day ticket-man at the
local station, states that it IS not
inf1equent that rare pieces of paper
money and coins are taken in there
A short time ago a piece of paper
money calling for the sum of twenty
five cents and two o-and-a-half dollar

TRAINS TAKEN Off
M. g. |. Will Only Run to
Brainerd--Time Gard
CHANGED Some

In line with the policy adopted by
that company of cutting down run
ming expenses when the prospects for
good crop are not very bright. the
Northern Pacific has made q change
IN the time card which becomes
effective at :01 a. m. Sunday, the
main feature of which is the cutting
out of the Nj. & I. train which has
run between Brainerd and this city
as No. 80 and "a. from running to this
city, and the annullment of No. 10
and 16 which operates between st.
Paul and Mandan, N. d., Brainerd
again being the terminal of the NJ. &
I. train. This will knock out at least
one brakeman on the M. & l. train,
besides effecting the salaries of those
on this run. No. IL and IL. the
Brainerd train, Will handle the NJ. g. I.
equipment including the Interna-
tional Falls sleeper, and will be daily
and Sunday. No. IL, westbound,
arriving here at about II 10 a. M,
and No. IL, eastbound, at about 5 :15
a. m. No. 81 and 80, the noon and
afternoon Brainerd train, will run on
It's usual schedule, and, with the
freight, No. 705 and 706, which runs
service on the Brainerd branch.
The L. F. & u. branch service 1e-
mains the same as before.
No. and will operate between
St. Paul and Glendlve, and will make
the stops made by No. 10 and 16,
running on It's usual schedule. No. 3,
4, AID 6 will make additinoal stops
to take care of the business formerly
handled by No. and 8.-- This leaves
this city without night through
coast train, as No. and does not
stop here. 1t is thought probable,
however, that these will be made to
stop here, No. 3 arriving at about As
p. m. and No. 4 at q: :58 p. m.

LOWEST IN 30 YEARS
Removal Of Stones from Bed
Of River Necessary to
Tow Boats

That the stage of the river is very
low is doubtless known by most all
the residents of this city, but that at
this point it is the lowest in the
memory of the Oldest rivermen in this
vicinity is not quite so generally
known. j. S. Murphy stated yester-
day that during his thirty years Of
work on the river he does not re-
member a single instance when the
river was as low as it IS at present.
He stated that the river was so
shallow that when it came to trans
porting some of the boom company s
boats past q point back of the Belle
to have man wade from one shore to
the other of the river in order to find
a channel deep enough for the boats to
pass through. This the man did
twice, and Mr.. Murphy states that at
no place did the water come up much
higher than the waist-Iine, and that
the fellow was not six-tooter at that.
The boats were finally towed past
that point, but it is stated that it was
necessary to take out some of the
stones from the rlver-b bed for item
to do so. Just below the falls, the
rock strewn river bed is dry, with the
exception of few winding channels
and the sluiceway, which is something
very unusual.
With the exception of three or four
of the larger mills in Minneapolis,
the mill city sawmills are quite
generally shut down. It is under
stood that some of the Cloquet mills
have also shut down. All of the
small streams emptylng into the
Mississippi are practically dry, and
large quantities of logs are held up
there until some heavy rains bring
relief to the situation.
