Practically the whole street, from stoop-line- to stoop-line between Gold and Front streets was tumbled into a fifty-foot excavation, in which fifteen or more men were working, and several persons who were walking on the street were believed to have been carried down. Fifty tenement houses on the block are in such danger of falling into the trench that the occupants have been ordered out by the police. Additional Short Locals.

Minneapolis, Nov. 20.—The cut of logs in Minnesota will be 119,- 000,000 feet less than it was last winter. That is the opinion ex- pressed yesterday by Deputy Sur- veyor General Sinclair. Like the opinion expressed by other logging authorities, including R. H. Chute, representing the Weyerhauser interests in Minneapo- lis, as well as the Mississippi and Rum River Boom company. The reason is two-fold—the large supply of logs on hand and the unusually light demand. The great part of the loss will come on the farmers, for whom last winter the surveyor general’s department scaled between 75,000,000 and 100,000,000 feet, but for whom this year Sinclair thinks not 10,000,000 feet will be scaled. In addition, certain sections have been exhausted. In the Hibbing district, according to the surveyor general’s office, where 18,000,000 feet of logs were cut last winter, there is practically nothing left, although this exhaustion of one source ot supply would mean only an increased cut elsewhere if the demand were higher or even normal. “In a general way,” said Mr. Chute, “I think the logging season will be unusually light except where contracts are already in force. Many logs have been carried over, and then the demand for lumber is not at all what it has been.” “The cut will be lighter than last year’s,” said Sinclair. “I should say by 25 per cent, any way. There is practically no market now for logs.” Pioneer Readers in “‘Pen.” The Pioneer is read by many peo- ple of many callings and has a cir- culation among all classes of readers, but it is doubtful if any paper in this north country has subscribers within the four walls of the state’s prison at Stillwater. James Wesley (better known as “Shorty”), who is “No. 2120” in the ranks of the state’s laborers at Still- water, has just renewed his sub- scription tq the Pioneer. Wesley, jointly with Paul Fournier, was convicted Zof murdering the Dabhls, after a sensational trial, and was sentenced to state’s poison, for life. Mike Shea, who was “sent up” for being implicated in a robbery at the Lakeshore hotel, has also renewed his subscription to the Pioneer. He is known as “No. 2368.” Other.inmates of the state’s prison who are subscribers to the Pioneer are J. B. Montague, A. Philbrook and Louis Nolan. ‘‘Poke” for “‘Mascot.” When the Carlisle- Indian football team goes on Northkrup field, tomor- row afternoon, to play against Minnesota, they will be given a “Mascot,” which has been sént down from the Red Lake Indian Agency and which is indicative of the fright.| which will be instilled into the Minnesota boys by the Indians on the gridiron. The “Mascot” is known as the long-necked partridge and is one of | the fowls that frequent the swamps and gather fish around the edges of the lakes and rivers in this north country. The “animile” was brought from the Red Lake Agency by Omer Grevelle and was placed in the per- sonal charge of John G. Morrison, | Jr., who saw to it that it was given private quarters in the express car and billed through to Minneapolis. While the bird is not the great American Eagle, he is one which the Indians think considerable of. Basketball Game Tonight. The basketball game which will be played in the Cohseum this even- ing between the “Big Bemidg” five and the Bemidji high school team promises to be a very good one. The “Big Bemidg” team has a new acquisition in the person of W. Taylor, an Indian who was at one time member of the Carlisle Uni- versity basketball team. He is not in a very good condition, at present, but is an excellent player and will! uhdoubtedly make a good member of | the local team. [ The game will be played at about 9 o’clock and the two teams will line up as follows: “Big Bemidg”—A. Geil and J. Markham ,f; F. Brown, c; L. Heffron and G. Peterson, g; W. Taylor and E. Geil, subs. High school—W. Gill and C. Gould, f; O. Homdrum, ¢; M. Stan- ton and C. Kruse, g; Kreatz and Newman, subs. The Aggravations of ““Luck”. Conductor Shannon, of the M. & I, came in last evening from his| run on the Bemidji-International Falls “local” freight train and tells of the aggravating “‘luck” some hunt- ers had yesterday. A party of six Brainerd hunters were coming down yesterday on the freight train from a week’s unsuccessful hunt for big game and several of the party were sitting on the roof of the caboose, when, just a few miles this side of Turtle River, a big antlered deer walked out from the woods and crossed the railway track a few rods behind the train. The . guns were all in the caboose and the disappointed hunters were unable to secure their firearms in | time to shoot the animal, although they had been out a week and failed to see one. Had Vacation Today. On account of the meeting of the North Central Minnesota Teachers’ association at Park Rapids today and tomorrow, there was no session in the local high school today, the teachers having gone to the “Rap- ids” where some of them will deliver addresses. Buys Interest in City Drug Store. A deal was closed in this city last evening- whereby John Goodman sold his half-interest in the City Drug store to R.F. Pepple, who has been employed as pharmacist in the Owl Drug store during the last year. : John Goodman has owned an in- terest in this drug store since it was started twelve years ago, at a time when the” Great Northern railway had not been completed through this city. Mr. Pepple is an excellent drug- gist and will doubtless make a suc- cess in his new venture. E. N. French, who owns the other half- interest in the store, will go to Blackduck in the near future and manage his drug store there and Mr." Pepple will take charge of the local< pharmacy.
