SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE THE STATE FOREST FIRE LAW. The railroads of Minnesota will fight the forest fire law enacted by the last legislature. The law re- quires the railroads to have a patrol on every mile through timber dis- tricts in dry seasons, and requires them to burn or remove all combust- ible material from their rights of way. The fight has already com- menced in Beltrami county, two cases wherein fines where imposed on railway companies for failure to provide patrols having been appealed to the distridt court.—Fertile Jour- nal. The appeals referred to were cases against the Great Northern Railway, and the Crookston Lumber company, which owns the logging road extending from Wilton to Island Lake. The Great Northern has settled its case by paying the fine and costs imposed by the justice court; but the lumber com- pany will take its case into the district court for trial at the term which is now being held in this city, and the outcome will be watch- ed with interest. Itis also stated that the lumber companies object to the provision of the forestry law as to the manner in which that law provides for the destruction of slashings. ‘The law adopted at the last session of the legislature did not affect slashings made prior to the adoption of the law; hence a considerable quantity of logging refuse was left which the new law could not affect. ‘This winter’s slashings will come un- der the provision of the new law, and the companies are awaiting an interpretation of the law as to these slashings. FOSTER HOME INSTITUTIONS. When you want an article of merchandise buy it of a reputable home dealer, that the profit may remain to enrich the community, says the Sauk Center Herald. Send your money abroad only for what you cannot purchase at home. Home talent, home labor, home in- dustry, home capital, and home pleasures are things to be fostered, encouraged and patronized. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G, Rutledge.] AN EPITAPH. ‘To tell his story in a word Or an euphonious term; He meant to be the early bird, And found he was the worm. Most of us are moréready tocorrect praise of another man than blame. It is the easiest thing in the world to figure out how other people can save money. Ever notice it? A man says he wants 2 woman to show some individuality, but when she shows it he calls it contrariness. Exanthematous typhoid, accord- ing to a press dispatch, has invaded a Mexico prison. Just imagine how this disease will drag its slow length along. FOUND DEAD IN HER ROOM Weman Drinks Five Gallons of Whisky in Few Days.

Union Pacific common and preferred and Southern Pacific eomsmon opened without material change, but before long Union Pacifie wes up to 810, a gain of 3%, and the preferred stock was selling at 113, an advance of 1%, while Southern Pacific wes up-a full point. Dealings in these stocks, to- gether with Reading and Untted States Steel, dominated the entire morket. ¥he advence tn tho Harsi- man stocks was attribnéed {argely to further short covering. Little atten- tlon was paid to rumors of a fight for control those properties. TUnited States Bteel was relstively weak on selling for profit.

Y., Sept. 2 \—One of the last men to talk with B. H. Harriman before the relapse that ended in his death was J. P. Morgan. The financler came to Arden house Bent. 1, when the encouraging im- provement noted in Mr. Harrman's conditlon was at its helght, and in 8pite of his bodily weskness the head of the Union Paocific system was as well fitted to discuss business as at any time in his Mfe. For nearly an Dour the two legders of finance sat on | the porch in the sun. It is belleved that at this conference plans were laid to support the financial market in the event of Mr. Harriman’s death or in case his health forced him to abandon all business activity. ‘When this conference ocourred Mr. Harriman knew he was a dying man, although he kept this information from his femily and steadily encouraged their Dollet that he would get well. No one saw more clearly than Mr. Harriman what would probably hap- pen when he dled. For the sake of thousands of railroad stockholders, as well 2 for his own Mterests, he knew that- unfess the strongest money power in-the country “got under” the market the effect of his death would be disas- trous. This, without doubt, is why he called in Mr. Morgan. RAIL DISASTERS EXPENSIVE Cost American Roads About $56,000, 000 Last Year.
