MEN IN THE WOODS |Already Six Thousand Mea Have Been Sent Qut From 'This City. HEAVY 10GGING OPERATIONS REQUIRE MANY EMPLOYES. Bemidji Employment Offices Have Secured About 5000 Simee Sept. 1. Although the logging season in northern Minnesota has only fairly begun, there has been sent -out from this city to the camps in this vicinity approximately advances seyeral thousand more men will be required. Up to the present time no cant hook men, loaders or sleigh teamsters have been hired, the active work of ceutting, hauling and loading not having commenced. Mostof the men are now at work cutting roads and building camps. only a few of the loggers have started the work of sawing and decking logs. According to figures given the Pioneer by the four employment offices of this city, a total of 5,000 men have been employed in Be- midji only and sent out to the camps. To this number can be added the men who have been hired directly by the lumber companies and loggers. A con- servative estimate places this number at 1,000, making the grand total 6,000. The going wages for men are $26 to $35 per month for swam p-‘ ers and sawyers, £65 to §75 per| month for cooks, blacksmiths | and handymen, $100to $125 for foremen, $35 to %40 for clerks and $60 per month for head | bookkeepers.

SLEEPING CARS OF NEW DESIGN FOR ST. vAUL LINE Drawing Room Will Be in Center of Car Instead of Over the Trucks, Making Riding Easier and More Comfortable. | The Milwaukee & St. Paul, one of the three roads in the United States owning and operating its own sleeping cars, announces an innovation in the construction of {equipment ot the Pioneer Limit- ed trains between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis. In the new cars just placed in commission, the drawing room will be in the center instead of at the euds of the cars, These are the first cars after such a pattern eyer constructed, and the change is made to afford easier riding and additional comfort fer travel- ers using these departments. { Heretofore drawing rooms have always been over the trucks! {at either end, which, in the opin- jon of many, is a rough place to ride, The new cars will be com- ' partments throughout. Two of the cars have been named Ona | laska and Ontonagon, are finished i and will be put in serviceat once. {—Chicago anmmer, October 26, 1905.

Mr. Leon- ilast mnight from Fergus Falls, SETTLERS HAVE RIGHT Secretary of Interior Affirms Important Decision Made By Land Office. OF FILERS. Decision Will Be Interesting News to Hundreds of Minnesota Homesterders. Yesterday afternoon the Crookston U. S. Land Office re- ceived communication from the Secretary of Interior at Wash- ington, D. C., affirming the de- cision made by that office some time ago in regard to the right of prior settlement as against a filing on the claim. Itisa very important question and one that involyes a great many interests not alone in the case in which the decision was made. The history of the case goes back afew months to the time when seven men appeared in the Crookston land office and filed on properties in section 16 in the town of Eden northeast of Fosston. All the land in that section was taken up by these men. But it appears afterward that the gentlemen would have some trouble in getting their land, On this same section 16 in the town of Eden there were already five settlers living in their cabins in actual settlement and claiming every part of the land on which the seven filed. Now there came up the question before the land office as to whether prior settlement more right to the land than prior filing. The Land Office decided that the men who had built their controyersy even entitled to the ownership of the land. This decision was based homesteaders in their business. But the seven filers appealed from the decision of the land office to the United States Com- missioner. He affirmed the de- cision of the Land Office. Again the seven filers appealed the case to the Secretary of the In- terior at Washington of this authority was awaited with in- terest by the officers in the land office. Yesterday the affirma- tion of their decisicn was received in the general question of thecase The decision of the Secretary in- volved tke distribution of the Secretary involved the distribu- tion of the land among the set- tlers themselves (about which there was some difficulty.) The prior claim of actual settlers was upheld. - Brakeman Hurt.
