Inadvertently the Herald-Review failed to mention the accompany- ments on the piano of the talented and accomplished Mrs. John Lohman of Duluth at the O. R. I. QO. enter- tainment last Friday evemng. Mrs. Lohman is recognized as the leading pianist of Duluth. Hon. W. R, Baumbach arrived .. ‘ from Hibbing Wednesday evening.

Miss King is visiting in Dako- a. John McVeih came down from his claim in 57-27 this week. He re- ports quite a stir in the affairs of men in that neighborhood this spring. He says there are 137 settlers now located between Deer lake and Jessie lake, and that a number of families have moved in during the past two months. An application has been made for a postoffice at Jessie Lake, and an effort will also be made to secure a school house for that vicinity, and there is some talk of putting in a general store. He says the settlers there are at_a great disadvantage for want of roads, Capt. H. D. Powers of the Itasca Gun club, Dr. W. P. Brown, Fred Webster, Frank Murphy and E. A. Kremer, will make the trip by water to Aitkin in row boats, and thence by train to Brainerd where they will con- test allcomers in_ the amateur shoot that is to.take place in that city next week. Hon. D. M. Gunn and John Beckfelt will also attend the festivities, but will be satisfied to make the tnp by rail. The boys will go to Walker from Brainerd over the logging road, and thence by water to Deer River and home. ‘They expect to be absent about ten days. Baldwin Must Go. The hungry are becoming restless and every available federal job is de- manded with no unnecessary delay. Baldwin is a gold Democrat and worked for Morris, Clough, McKinley and all, just as they appeared on the ticket, but this cuts no figure.

Powers is one of the enter- prising loggers of Itasca county who pinned his faith on the election of McKinly, believing that the success of Bryan meant ‘ruination to the busi- ness interests of the country. He shows a wonderful degree of consist- ency in still insisting that he was right, and says that, the much promised prosperity is jalready abroad in the land. He sees‘siteverywhere and in everything. Logs especially are on the boom. The firm of Powers & Simpson could make a contract’t6 put in forty of fifty million feet ‘of logs at a price 50 cents per thousand in ad- vance of any offer that has been re- ceived since ’93. He says, too, that horses are selling at from forty to fifty dollars higher than they were a year ago. The Herald-Review hopes that Mr. Powers’ sanguine view of the present and future will be realized by a few of us croakers who have not yet felt the subtle influence of the long promised “long green.” The Menominee Plan. It is apparent that the department of the Interior has about decided to adopt the plan in»operation on the Menominee reservation for the dis- posal of dead and down timber, for application on the reservations of Minnesota. Investigation of the re- sults of the work shows general satis- faction to both Indians and the goy- ernment. Under its provisions the logs are cut, banked and scaled and the net profits turned over to the In- dians after all expenses are paid. FOREST FIRES. The Law Relating Thereto Should be Givsn a Fair Test. The forest fire law of Minnesota may yet prove a blessing to the people of the state before the year is over. Early in the spring fires began to burn in the timber regions northwest of Duluth, and while as yet they have not been serious, the worst time of the year—August and September—is yet tocome. It seems strange that in the face of the great loss of life by the forest fires that burned Hinckley, Minn., and other villages, and burned to death hundreds of people three years ago this summer, that a legisla- ture could even for a moment think of repealing the only law on the statute books looking towards the prevention of forest and prairie fires. ‘This. however, as will be remembered by our readers, was attempted in the recent legislature of Minnesota, and was only defeated and the law allowed to stand by asmall margin. The Minnesota fire warden Jaw has only been tried two years and should not be repealed until experience proves it to be entirely worthless, which it is not likely to do, and then some sub- stitute should be provided for it. If the present law is faulty in any respect, it should be amended and made bet- ter. the state are interested in the matter for the valuable property that belongs to them is constantly in danger dur- ing the summer months. They should be as_ careful as possible about leaving tree tops and other inflam- mable refuse on the ground after log- ging on atract, to burn hike tinder when ignited. Its the duty of presi- dents of village councils and mayors of towns to act as fire wardens, and, under the instructions of the chief fire warden, to call upon citizers to assist in putting out forest or prairie fires. It is not an easy matter to put out a} first class forest fire as all lumbermen and woodsmen know, but a great deal can be accomplished in preventing the starting of fires and in extinguish- ing incipient “ones. Under the Min- nesota law, the state auditor is ex- officio forest commissioner. The chief warden reports to the auditor, and the fire wardens in every town report to the chief warden. ‘he fire wardens have authority to compel citizens to come to his aid in putting out fires whenever necessary. There may be one fault with the Minnesota law in thatit does not appropriate enough funds to carry on the work, only $5,000 annually being allowed. The Lumberman hopes, for the pro- tection of the lives and property of the residents of the forest regions of the state that it will never occur to another legislature to attempt-to re- peal the forest fire warden law, with- out substituting for it a better law than the present one.—Mississippi Valley Lumberman. For the Big Show. The Duluth, Suporior & Western have made a special rate of $2.50 for the trip from Grand Rapids to Duluth andreturn on July 9th, when the Barnum show is to be in the Zenith City. Whe regular train will be held at DuJuth until 5 o’clock, thus giving all an opportunity to see the after- noon performance. If you don’t think this issue of the Herald-Review is up to the standard just drop in and pay up your sub- scription and we'll try to do better next summer. C. W. Hasrinas. F. P. Saenpon. President.

The resignation of Register A. J. Taylor’of the Duluth lacd office was announced in the papers the other day, and-it is to be presumed that no time will be lost in furnishing the who-will be willing to sacrifice his private interests to serve the public at $3000 per annum. Mr. Taylor has served as register nearly four years. He instituted many reforms in this district and revolutionized the land practice of the attorneys, and in do- ing so he has made some enemies and many friends. The editor of the Herald-Review has had considerable business to do with the Duluth office during the time that Mr. Taylor has acted as register, and at all times ‘he has appeared as an honest and con- scientious official who earnestly en- deavored to serve alike the interests of both patrons and the government with equal justice. It may be im- politic to speak a kindly word for an out-going official who can no longer extend favors, and who is not popular among those who have much to do with the distribution of patron- age, but regarding the retiring regis- ter as one of the most faithful public servants that we have ever known, the Herald-Review would be an in- grate to join those who have clam- ored for Mr. Taylor's political scalp ever since he asserted his indepen- dence and conducted the affairs of his office as his judgment and conscience dictated. It seems to have been decreed by Page Morris that Senator Caulkin, of Wright county, shall be Mr. 'Paylor’s successor, the Republicans of Duluth and this land district to the coutrary notwithstanding. Those who know. the senator speak of him as a mitirof integrity and ability and one who is competent todo full justice to Uhat important othce should he be ap- pointed. Senator Caulkin resides in the Marsball land district and his importation is looked upon by the leading Republicans of this section with undisguised displeasure. At- torneys Skuse and Warner of Duluth were both applicants for the position and it was believed at first that the former would receive Mr. Morris’ in- dorsement, but he didn’t. Then Mr. Warner was brought out and his in- dorsements included the names of the most influential Republicans in the state. He, too, received the stony stare from the great Morris. Caulkin was his chosen one avd none other would = do. Frora a Democratic view the representa- tive is doing just the proper caper at the proper titae. He is mak ing many enemies among the men who elected him to the high position he now holds, and the result will be felt when the day of reckoning comes. Artificial Diamonds. It is announced that a Washington scientist purposes going to Niagara Falls with carbon, and will make dia- monds by subjecting the carbon to a powerful current from the falls. At the same time. even if he succeeds, they will be artifical diamonds, not natural. Now, there is nothing arti- ficial about the popularity of the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad—it is flawless, natural. The Duluth Short Line, as this line is known, is the favorite route to and between St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior, Stillwater, Taylor’s Falls and other points, and holds its popu- larity by virtue of its modern equip- ment, fast trains at convenient hours, beautiful district, smoth roadbed, good service, and a thousand and one other things designated to win the public. Always take the Duluth Short Line and go with the people. Ticket agents will always gladly furn- ish maps, information, etc., or they may be obtained by writing to C. E.
