WILL NOT MEET
CHRISTMAS VE
Executive Board Votes to Aban-
don Trades Assembly Meeting
Called for Tonight.

There will be no meeting Of the Fed
Grated Trades assembly tonight, Fri
day, which is Christmas eve. This was
decided upon by the executive board
last Sunday. Most Of the delegates
are family men and it is believed their
time will be fully occupied getting
ready to be Santa Claus about their
own home alters.
Should business Of Importance be
called to the attention Of the officers,
special meeting will be called, but it
is not believed that such will arise
unless the street railway question is
hurriedly resurrected. In view Of the
declarations Of Commissioners Phil
lips and Murnian to vote against the
six-cent ordinance it is not likely that
the matter will be soon considered by
the council.
The next regular meeting OF the
assembly, therefore. will not be held
until Friday, Jan. IA, when new dele
gates will be obligated and seated,
after which the election Of officers
will take place. The present officers
are John E. Jensen, president; Clyde
Goldsmith. vice president; John A.
Barron, secretary; Peter Schaeffer,
treasurer and Ernest Richard, reading
clerk
These officers have given general
satisfaction and they can all be re-
elected If they desire further to serve.

og $4,000, one Of $500. one Of $3.50,
several Of $500 each and some smaller
contributions.
Duluth has never failed to do It's bit
whenever called upon. Il went over
the top in every liberty loan and other

ways played its full part in such, and
it is expected to do equally we'll now.

tools, planing-mil products and the
like. About oae-third of the total
capital invested in the wood-manufac-
turing industries Of the country and
about one-third of the wage eainers
in these Industries are found in this
section. They use five and a half bill
lion feet of lumber year, or about
quarter of the aggregate used III
this country for such enterprises.
To-day the home product does not
nearly meet the annual requirements,
but, further than that, the cutting
that is done far exceeds what is
grown each year. 1t is probable. from
the best estimates that | have been
able to secure. that the annual growth
Of material OF potential value in the
three states is not over one-quarter of
what is cut each year. This means
that the forests are progressively los
ing ground with considerable rapidity
This deficit is due only in part to
the. clearing of land for agriculture.
1t is due also to the failure to handle
the lands in way to secure good re-
production and properly to protect the
young trees that become established.
With better care and management the
forest lands of these states should
yield two or three times the present
growth, and this would, l believe, be
possible without checking the extern
sion of cultivation over lands suited
to that purpose. There are many
convincing reasons why these states
should produce az much as possible In
the way of forest growth from land
that is best adapted to that purpose
and in the aggregate these areas
amount to a great deal"
