The case arises froma sorting of 27,000,000 feet of logs by the defendant for the plaint- iff and involves some $18,000. The defendant in its answer allege the sorting of the logs for the plaintiff and non payment for the same and have levied upon 1,000,000 ‘feet of these logs which have been replevined by the plaintiff. The defendant has constructed adam on the American side of the Rainy River a short distance from the town of the same name which compels the plaintiff or any other company to use the steamboat wav for floating logs or encroach on Canadian waters.

Believed That a Vigorous Effort To Secure Better Rates Will Meet With Success. The Pioneer isin receipt of the following letter from Henry Funkley of this city, beinga copy of a letter which Mr. Funkley has written to the Commercial Club of Blackduck. The letter discusses the question of rates on wood from points on the Min- nesota & International in a lucid manner and offers some valuable suggestions: Bemidji, Minn., March 18, ’05. Blackduck Commercial Club. Gentlemen:—For some time I have been looking into the possi- bility of bringing about a change in railroad freight rates on cord- wood so as to make the wood in- dustry a paying proposition, It goes without saying that a proper reduction in freight rates that will allow even a slight stumpage price to the owner of cordwood timber will call into life an industrial activity that will be worth millions to Beltramiand Itasca counties. And in addition to the benefits that will and must necessarily result to the timber owner, the business man and the laboring man in the timber dis- trict by the opening up of a mar- ket for cordwood, a meritorious service will be rendered thereby to the prairie settler, who will gladly welcome the splendid gual- ity of fuel that will be put upon the market. Nor need there be any friction batween us and the railroads, for the proposition when reduced to its last analysis amounts to this: Shall the cordwood timber in northern Minnesota; on account of freight rates, be permitted to be destroyed? If itis permitted to stand until destroyed the rail roads will not make anything out of, but if it not permitted to stand to be so destroyed the railrcad companies will make money in moving it. Thereis uo gnestion as to the good quality of the tim- ber for that purpose, nor is there any question but that it is in de- mand for fuel purposes. The only thing is to be able to prop- erly present the matter to the railroads so that action will be taken while it is yet time. Ihave Congressman’s Steener- son’s word for it that he will do all he can to aid us in laying the matter before the railroad au- thorities at their headquarters, and upon his suggestion I belieye the proper course is to send a delegation of representative men to lay the matter before the rail- roads at headquarters. And to that end I believe a eeting should be called at Blackduck, that being the most central point 1n the territory affected, at which all parties interested should at- tend for to discuss the matter and devise ways and means to attain the desired result. I de- sire to lay stress upon the point that we should seek co-operation from the Dakota and Montana consumers of fuel. I believe that vigorous effort on the part of your Commercial Club along the lines indicated, will be productive of much good, and I know you can count on what little I may be able to do to aid you as well as on the hearty co-operation of both- Congress- man = Steenerson and Senator Swedback.

No good business man would pay twice as much for his stock of goods as he ought. Why shouldn’t he apply the same prin- ciple to his cigars? : ! The 10c cigar habit is expensive; it is also needless. E. A, Barker bas putin a cigar, Wadsworth Bros.’ “Chico,”” that is as good as any 10c. cigar ever made, yet it retails for 5e. straight. Just see how easy it is to break off that 10c. cigar habit by smok- ing “Chicos.” Stop at B. A. See how evenly it smokes, what a 25¢. aroma it has, how the ash stays on solid and white, without flecking or dropping, E. A. Barker has the sole agency for Wadsworth Bros.’ “Chicos” for Bemidji and as this is naturally a 10c. town, and people are accustomed to a 10c. flavor, it follows that he will have ! a big trade on these cigars that giye a real Havana fragrance and flavor at the 5¢. price, of pneumonia or other serious consequences, For sale by Bark- er’s Drug Store.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup- posed to be incurable. For a = great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in- curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by the I, J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoenful.
