The steel and equipment of the
Northern Mississippi Logging Road,
better known as the line of the Nor
Inland Pine company, which has been
purchased entire by the Jones Pur-
chasing Agency, Minneapolis, will all
be removed and shipped to Canadian
and western United States points be-
fore the ice goes out in the spring,
the work of hauling it across to Jenk-
ms on the Minnesota and Interna-
tional, being done by team, the con-
tract for which has been taken by
Wesley euro of Jenkins and w. B.
Jones of Sylvan. A total of $4,000
tons comprises the Curo-Jones con-
tract.
The removal of this old logging
road will greatly inconvenience the
settlers along the line and will also
have tendency to force down the
price of acreage property unless
something is done at once by the
land companies who own and con-
troll large tracts in the vicinity.
The opinion has been expressed that
a portion of the steel could be re-
tanned on the ground and small
amount of capital would be sufficient
to connect the south end of the old
logging road at Cross Lake with
Merrifield on the Minnesota and In
ternational, twelve miles north Of
Brainerd. This would be gigantic
boom to the settlers and would also
mean the development of one of the
richest sections of farm land in Nor
thern Minnesota.

IT SOUNDS GOOD.

Sweeping reductions on almost
every known variety of merchandise
have been made in freight rates by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
This action by the commission marks
the end of the great rate cases, and
affecting, as it does, nearly every
railroad in the country, appears to
mark a complete victory for the ship
ping public in the long fight for
lower cost Of transportation.
To the consumer the action of the
commission ought to be significant as
increased freight rates necessarily
means that the consumer is going to
pay an additional cost for the lux
uries and necessities of life.
Some idea of the extent of the real
concern of the public in the matter
is illustrated by the fact that the
commission refused to permit pro-
posed advances in class freight rates
in official classification territory ag-
gregating among the railways in the
territory approximately $27,000,000
year.
In the case involving the increases
by the railroads in Western trunk
line territory the commission also de-
clined to approve the proposed ad-
vances. Ill
This action on the part of the In
terstate Commerce Commission has
caused the heads of the different rail
road companies to say pessimistic
things but on the whole the railroads
are taking their medicine in good
grace. 4 49, u

The Word "chap."

brings before us the loud voiced

to have come into common use at the

rarely mentioned in books before 100.

MISPLACED

PRESIDENT WHEELER OF the University of California depores
the overwhelming number of women teachers in public schools, and
especially laments that there re so many old maids" teaching boys.
1t is perhaps unfortunate that because a young woman takes up the
vocation of teaching boys and gis it should have the effect of max
ing her N old maid. But we do not see that the boys suffer. Some
thing might be gained, perhaps, if boys we're taught by men, and girls
we're taught by women. But not much. 1t is 10 practical to hire
lei teachers in grammar schools simply for the reason that the salar-
is offered are 10 pihfuly meager that none but unmarried women
will apply.
So far IS observation, extends, a woman teacher al get along with
a class OF boys far better than a man.. Her influence supplements that

that of the average male teacher-Los Angeles Herald.

Our Beneflcent Government

THE people of Alaska, through the generosity and wisdom of the
great, benefcent government under which we live caDnot burn their
own coal but have to import it from Australia, Europe or the Orient.
They cannot work their own copper mines because only a little OF tn
re is rich enough to ship raw, and they are not permitted to use their
own coal to smelt it. They cannot utilize their great cedar forests be-
cause they are reserved by the government. Ihey seemed TO oe reaue-
ed to placer mining for al occupation and to fish for food.
The farmers OF Washington and Oregon can n 0 longer send their
wheat and pats and lumber and other surplus products to a market IN
et of a few interest gathers in New York and London, converted halt
the real money OF this OF this country into a commodity and by the
tain half the inhabitants of the earth that the market for our products
in those countries is killed.
BY the sam legislation all these countries n ship their pro-
ducts which include coal, iron, steel billets, steel rails, wool, rice and
many other prducts to us and in our money sell them at a discount OF
80 per cent. below the price of twenty years ago.
By that same legislation the mines in six Or seven arid states have been
made to lose in the past sixteen years quite $8OONOOOO o tn silver
that they have mined.
California has always suffered for want of more manufactures. The
great obstacle has been the want of cheap power When the oil fields
were found and utilized in Southern California it was believed that a
fuel had been found which could be sold a a price so low that it would
be possible to create some great manufacturing districts. But our wise
and bene6cent government interviewed and said there rAust be n no.
nopoies created in the oil business. 1t is a reminder OF that ancient,
stately poem, which reads something like this:
Mother, may go out to swim?
Yes. my darling daughter.
