wOoDsMEN's WAGES CUT
Reductions In Effect Th.oughont
The Middlewest

According 10 lumber concerns I'm
the northwest the scale OF common
labor for woods work has been fixed
Tor this season at $26 a month and
board and skilled men will be paid
from $50 to sS5. That compares with
scales from $65 to $50 paid last year.
Drastic cuts have also been made In
the piecework scale the makers being
pad ten cents tie, and pulpwood
cutters l% cents stick. On their part
contractors will agree to board piece
workers at rs cents day and 70 sell
them supplies at practically cost
prices.
Ia spite OF the large supplies OF logs
still being held by some OF the timber
companies, II is hoped that woods op-
erations in Northern Minnesota dur
ing the coming winter will be on a
much larger scale than had been
thought likely up until recently. De-
mand for timber has picked up SUBJ
stantialy during the last month with
building operations In that city and
over the country showing marked i'm
provements. Building Is being promot-
ed by the lower prices being quoted
on all classes OF materials. The drastic
cut In lumber announced within the
last few lays has been a material fac
tor according TO architects.

towns, but, unlike the lumbermen OF
old, II is turning the land II denudes
OF timber TO other productive agencies.
The genesis OF the Triangle Ranches
may be found in the sentiment express
sed by Mr. Stephen Rosebush TO his
travelling companions In the Pullman
car.
II suppose that you have figured out
where you are to make money out OF
this venture" / said 10 him recently.
His reply gave me an insight TO an
other angle OF the business religion. II
may call IL by that term, OF these
men.
Money is not the only consideration
with u.s." he replied. IF II was money
alone we seek we would take the
money that we are spending here and
buy gilt-edge securities At the low
values they are selling today the big
return therefrom would unquestion-
ably make us much money. II would
be a far surer and much richer field
for investment But. some day we're
going to pass away and II man leav-
es nothing but money, which then is
OF no value TO him and in many cases
is OF very questionable value to his
descendants, he's soon forgotten. II
however he can do something with
some OF his money TO benefit others
he leaves a monument that no money
can buy. or course, this isn't all sem
timent. We are attacking the venture
on business principles We figure that
this land can be made valuable and
waste state. Later we will probably
sell IL on TO small farmers, although
our present intentions are to always
have tract for cattle raising"
The readers OF Cloverland Magazine
can gather from the sentiments ex-
pressed by Mr.. Rosebush in the two
conversations cited, the underlying in
fluence that brought into being the
Triangle Ranches.
Now for a view OF some OF the act

cuts the timber off its lands, and when

(By Thomas Conlin)

Three men sat in the smoking room
Of Pullman car on a train coming
from Chicago 10 the Upper Peninsula
OF Michigan. Two Of them were com
ing north TO look over some OF the
Peninsula's natural resources with a
view TO investing. AS they discussed
the probable success OF their enter
prise. the rapidity OF return and the
ultimate amount OF IL. their spirits
arose to high tension. They were al
bound up in the outcome OF their ven
ture and as they discussed its pros
and cons, one OF them said: II tell
you the finding OF oil at Seul Choix
will eclipse anything that has ever
happened In the upper peninsula, with
which exalted opinion his companion
agreed.
The third man. who had listened to
the conversation, could stay silent no
longer and he ventured to enter de-
murrer to the extrayagant statement
OF his travelling companion. In the dis
cussion that followed he gave utter
ance to the following:
THE upper peninsula is great trea-

HOME BREwING HELD ILLEGAL

Warming that the making OF intoxi-
eating "home brew" is illegal was lss-
ued Monday by Prohibition Commiss-
ioner Haynes.
Nemerous inquiries have been re-
ceived recently. he said, concerning
the home manufacturing Of fruit juic-
es growing out OF reports that head
OF a household was entitled 10 make
200 gallons OF wine a year under per-
NIT.
The prohibition units attitude on
the home brew question was defined
by Mr.. Haynes as follows.
Misunderstanding fruit Juice can be
made in the home. intoxicating wines,
home brew and distilled spirits may
not be made. Two hundred gallons OF
Notwithstanding fruit Juice may be
manufactured tax free by the head OF
a family registering with a collector
OF internal revenue.
This tax exemption provision has
been the source OF confusion. The en-
ect OF this Is not TO allow the manu-
facture OF 200 gallons OF intoxicating
wine free from restrictions OF the nat
ional prohibition act, but merely TO
allow the manufacture OF 200 gallons
OF Notwithstanding fruit juices free
from tax"
