Mill NO. 7 CLOSES
SEASON; new RECORD

After the longest run in the his
tory of Mill No. 2, CrOokston Lum-
ber company, the plant shut down
at o'clock this afternoon. That
is the saving of logs ceased for the
3eason.
7 Some of the men will go to the
camps, others will be occupied in va
rious ways around the plant and
others will be engaged in various
lines for the coming during the win
ter.
The plant has been running night
and day since it opened. Its cut
has exceeded by far any seaosn in
its history.
When Plant No. burned, it's COM
panion mill was speeded up and car
ried the burden of an unusually
heavy season. Immense quantities
of lumber have been sent to Duluth
and cargoed eastward. Heavy or
ders, caused by the war, have been
filed and the season has set a new
record.
The machinery for the rebuilt
plant, No. l., is being set as rapidly
as possible and will be ready for the
opening of the saving season next
spring.

AN ENEMY ALIEN

Washington, Dec. 1.-What
I'd is an enemy alien?
Here is the definition given L,
by the department of Justice:
"All natives, citizens, deni-
zens or subjects of the hostile
government being males of the
age. of IA. years and upward
and not actually naturalized in
the United States. E,(At pres
ent the only hostile: govern
ment is the imperial German
government).
German born children of
naturalized Germans are not
enemy aliens, provided natur-
alization of parents was COM
pleted before the children
reached maturity. Otherwise
they are enemy aliens, unless
naturalized themselves, ...,.,,-..
"American born children Of
German citizens residing. in the
United States are not enemy
aliens, unless before maturity
they became naturalized in
Germany.
Naturalization of enemy al
lens cannot be completed dur
ing the period of the war.
German born children lof
American citizens temporarily
residing in Germany are not
enemv aliens. If, however,
parents residence is perman-
ent in Germany the offspring
must have established by suit
able action citizenship in the
United States.
"Native, citizen, denizen or
subject of the German empire
is an enemy alien even though
he has taken out first papers in
the United States or has been
I, paturalized in any other .coun- -
try" -

!: TO ASK QUESTIONS r.:
OF OFFICIALS WHO
: ARE RUNNING WAR
(By United Press)


. Washington, Dec. 1.-Congress,
which opens next week, is all primed
to ask the officials running the war
numerous questions regarding the
war policies of the United States,
war laws and future war measures.
congressman arriving this morn
ing state their constituents have
been asking those questions and 9TH
er questions.
Congressman will attempt to as
certain what steps have been taken
toward repayment of money loaned
Russia.
Why pneumonia and other all
ments are prevalent among the men
in environments.
What about the secret agreement
between Secretary of State Lansing
and Viscount Ishii with regard to
China without consulting China.
=. These and old issues of the suff
rage question, conservation, the cen
sorship, prohibition Of free press
and war expenditures foreshadow a
long congressional session.
Wealth conscription is lining up
against bond advocates in the ex-
pected drive against wealth..
The administration forces favor
additional bonds. A clash over the
conscription Of excess profits Is ex-
pected.
A measure to prevent barring pub
lications from the mails before full
hearing in a regular court Is plan
ned. This Is an echo of the admin
istration giving Postmaster General
Burleson the power of czar over
the newspapers Of the country, to do
with as he personally pleases.

now, according to all reports, they
are doing pretty we'll. But 1t was

ling the rounds. It is a long way
from Samara around by Kief and
Moscow and then back to Samara
again, especially when the side trips
are counted in, some of the side trips
taking several days.
1 have slept in almost every con-
ceivable place and all kinds of beds
from the open air to the finest kind
of spring bed. On depot floors, in
box cars, in the corridor of passen-
great while in sleeping car berth.
All first and second class coaches are
compartment cars, each cOmpart-
ment having two or four berths.
When l first came to this country
one could get place cards, emitting
the holder to berth. But since the
revolution place cards are not sold
and it is first come first served and
the devil take the hindmost. If one
is lucky enough to get his baggage
in the top berth it means a chance
to stretch out and sleep If in a
lower it means sit up and sleep.
When the compartments are full
one in the upper and three or four
in the lower it means the corridor
with the vestibule for the last COM
ers When the corridor was not too
crowded I used to fix up pretty
good place to sleep with my suit
case, grip and blanket, but often
times there was only room to stand
up. Around Kief the soldiers used
to fill the cars so full there was
hardly room for passengers and sew
eral times l had to use the window
in place of the door to get out or in.
I had it pretty comfortable from
Samara up here 1 had place to
sleep every night I was four days
and four nights on the road. Stop
ped over two days in Petrograd. l
brought my trunk along and check
ed it as far as Petrograd. When
got ready to leave for Archangel l
went down to the station to have 1t
rechecked. Thought I could do the
same as back home, just go into the
baggage office and turn in my check
and receive another. Oh, no. I had
to take it out, hire porter and
await my turn. Owing to the fact
that the Germans had taken Riga
the station was full of refugees and
the line was long one. l soon saw
that if I was to get out that night
something would have to be done.
So l began looking around for the
right man. A ten ruble note did the
work and l got my trunk checked In
hurry.
But, Andy, this certainly is
great country as far as nature is
concerned. The richest kind of
soil, minerals, timber, coal and
everything in abundance. All 1t
needs is modern machinery and
methods and a few American lead
ers to teach these people few
things, viz: how to work when 1t is
time to work and smoke and argue
when it is the proper time. l can
not say that the average Russian is
very Industrious. He would much
sooner drink tea and smoke cigar
cites than work. And everything is
done in such a slow, old fashioned
way. Actually the Russian people
are farther behind the times than
the Spaniards.
