The Discovery Of the Mackinaw.

This winter there are more people
in Bemidji wearing mackinaws than
any which have gone before. Not
only is this true of 2Bemidji, but of
every city i'm the cold states of this
country. From Maine to Oregon the
covering of the abused lumberjack
has become the stylish coat of the
men and boys in better circumstances,
In fact the maekinaw appears to
have become more popular than the
FREEZER" of ten or twelve years ago.
Its short length admits of freer move
ments of the legs; it's short price ad-
mits the foregoing of long winter
coat; its comfort and durability make
it a garment to be- desired and once
worn, never forgotten. The lumber
jack no longer: is alone. =:
College fraternities have adopted a
particular pattern of mackinaw as
the official coat of the fraternity; the
New York Giants were QUILTED with
them last spring and otherteams soon
followed with similar action; many
OF one kind have been shipped to a
city 50 that many towns have their
own distinctive colors, or styles; in
fact the mackinaw has become so pop
ular that its handling is rapidly be-
coming a distinct business.

the Mackinaw," the Duluth Herald

 The three spires of this city and it's interesting old guild house dating from 1893, with many narrow wind ing streets are quaint indeed. About 250 old men, "freemen" of Coventry, were in the guild house getting their weekly allowance of from four to six shillings from the revenues of the guild. A man must have served an apprenticeship of seven years to the satisfaction of his master and live within seven miles of the house to be freeman of Coventry" There are four thousand of them and they are proud of their organization and priv i ,1eges Each man can pasture two horses and COW, or two cows and a horse on the commons for six months in the year. Lunch is about ready. We go on to Oxford to spend Sunday. A Please remember us to Mir Higgins, "Luey'. and any other friends.

Cutting Trees by Wire,

A new method of felling trees by the friction of a steel wire, which is able to work it's way through a 2O-inch tree in about six minutes, is putting, the axmen out of business in the for ests of Germany.
 The wire is drawn rapidly about the tree and the heat generated by the friction is sufficient to burn a. thin carbonized kerf. which is both, smOOth-s CT and cleaner than the cut of saw. The charcoal layer adhering to the trunk is extremely thin and allows the structure and disease of the wood to be distinctly recognized. It enables the tree to be marked with chalk and at the same time serves to preserve any trunks that may be left tempOrafi- ly in the woods. There are many ad- vantages in this method. notably on waste, decreased labor absence of all apparatus usually required, and the. machine can be used in close quarters not sufficient for men choppers. One Is struck on looking over a piece of woodland in this vicinity at the waste in stumpage left by the wood-chopp- CTS
