With 1913 and 1914 considered nor
NAL years, the falling off in lumber
cargo business for the comparative
nine-month periods of 1915 and 1916,
is said to reflect tonnage scarcity due
to the war rather than contraction
of domestic and overseas demand.

port just issued by Fred w. Alexan.

OF the 57,O53,682 feet of shipments
to the united kingdom and Europe
during the last nine months, more
than 3O,OOO00O feet have been shipped
across the continent by rail for re-
loading on vessels at New Orleans,
New York and Boston, owing to the
scarcity of tonnage in north Pacific
waters.
The summary of distribution shows
that 23s,S61 ,272 feet of lumber shipped
in the last nine months went to ex-
port markets, decrease of about
2OO,0OO,000 feet as compared with nor
NAL deliveries for that period imme-

BIG CASH PRIZES FOR WOOL
Large Display of Fleeces at the Min
nesOta State Fair Predicted
This Fall.

Prizes aggregating $3.50 in cash are
to be awarded at the Minnesota State
Fair, Sept. to 9, to exhibitors of
wool- These premiums are offered to
encourage the production of better
wool in the Northwest.
The Minnesota Woll Marketing As
ISOLATION, which OWNS a large central
warehouse at Pennington, Mimi, is
assisting the State Fair in making the
wool exhibit success. Last year this
association marketed $4,000 pounds of
wool. For the merchandise medium
clips from 80 to 31h cents pound
was received. It is Beloved that prac-
tically all the wool in the state will
be handled by the association in few
years.
Magnus Brown, of Pennington, SUI
perintendent of the wool department,
believes that the high price of wool is
stimulating sheep production to such
degree that the Northwest will be
raising twice as many sheep in five
years.

THE PRACTICAL POLITICIAN

:, For some unaccOuntable reason
S'practical" politics have almost be-
come synonymous with corrupt" pol
itics and to designate man "prac-
teal" politician is generally consider
ed equivalent to calling him "cor-
ruptionist."
Notwithstanding this, practical pol
itics are the salvation of the Nation
and the State and without the practi-
cal politician free government would
cease to exist and this Nation and ev-
cry state in the Nation would be
transmogrified into absolute despotism
or degenerate into anarchy.
Practical politics are the only kind
that secure results and any system OF
business, religion or statecraft, that
does not secure results, is valueless.
Hope, anticipation, desire, intent or
ambition are of no motive power, un-
less it becomes reality, the desire
fulfilled, the anticipation consummat-
ed, the intent put into effect and the
ambition accomplished. The only way
these things can be brought about is
by the plain straightforward methods
of practically; it cannot be done by
fanciful theorizing or vicarious mag
ming.
The theoretical, dreaming, visionary
politician may and does contribute te
the gaiety of campaigns, but the only
benefit he is to mankind is to furnish
them with amusement. They never
win and it is well that they do not, for
however we'll meaning they may be
their variegated ideas of betterment
if enacted into legislation and made
the basis of governmental policies
would form such heterogeneous con
glomeration of incongruities and man
ifest impossibilities that even thei
authors would be in Jail half the tim
for failing to obey their mandates
however faithfully they endeavored t
do so.
Practical men and women run tn
world, in politics as well as in every
thing else.

WARS RIDICULOUS SIDE.

In these times of world stress it
may appear almost unseemly to refer
to the ridiculous side of war; we do
not mean the funny or amusing side,
for there is nothing funny or amusing
about war, but there is a ridiculous
side, which for CHASTITY absurdity and
goblin-like bizarreness beats anything
that could have evolved from distorted
brains of the grizzly Gnomes, which,
according to ancient mythology, gath
cred nightly in their ghostly revels.
Whatever may be the cause or the
object of war, the only methods that
the participants follow to satisfy the
cause or accomplish the object is de-
struction, and the results compared to
the cost are horribly ridiculous.
Take for example the little village
of Estres, on the border line between
the fighting French and Germans. 1t
has been captured and recaptured
half dozen times by the contending
armies and finally it has been leveied
to the ground by the German artil-
lery. In its former condition, before
it felt the blighting touch of war, it
contained a population of probably
5000 and it's taxable valuation, ac-
cording to the encyclopedia, about
$3,5OO,OOO, quiet, prosperous coun-
try village. 1t cost the Germans
about $1OO,OOO,OOO and over six thou
sand lives to wipe this little village
off the map, not counting the value of
the time spent. In other words, they
could have bought the village in the
ordinary course of trade, dynamited it
as a holiday celebration and saved
96,500,000, and not sacrificed single
life.
The English artillery fired five mil
lion shells at average cost of over $40
a shell in five days. Every German
killed by this bombardment cost the
English over $275, 900, and every Ger
man arm and leg shot off cost them
over 100000. The war is costing the
German government over $65,OOO,0OO
a day and the Allies even more. The
amount expended so far would have
provided every workingman in the
countries participating with a small
farm and made him comfortable for
life. 1t will take a hundred years for
the warning nations to pay off the de-
struction debt incurred. That men of
good sense should permit such con-
dition of things to exist is certainly
absurd.
