Disguise From Many of Johnson’s Pretensions. General C. C. Andrews of St. Paul, chief state fire warden, was a visitor in the city yester- diy, on official business. He had intended to visit the country a'ong the north line of the Minnesota and International railway, but the late storm had so dampened the woods that he deemed a trip of investigation at this time of but little value in gathering data which he desired. The work of Mr. Andrews, along the line of protecting the timber in the state from being destroyed by disastrous fires during the past five years, has been very commandable. The stats of Minnesota owns timber worth $100,000,000, but despite the value of this timber, a wise legislature has appropriated the niggardly sum of only $10,000 annually for protection against A letter has been received from Dr. J.
