Mercer, the Leech Lake Indian agent, was at the Si. Louis yesterday. 1t was his birthday land he felt justified in spending it quietly in his room, smoking aud con- templating the storm which raged without his parlor window. Speaking of the cutting of pine under the dead and down timber act, upon the Leech Lake, the White Earth and Red Lake reservations, he said, according te the Duluth News Tribune: “Altogether there are 49 campsand about 43,000,000 feet of’ pine will be cub by 35 contractors. Of this number six have been reported as having been detected in cucting some green tim- ber. In all such cases the contractors will be required to pay the full prices for such. When it has been estab- the green timber I have either taken charge of the work myself or have put, another man in Charge. The public should not gain the idea, as it easily might from incomplete statements about the cutting of green pine, that any of the cuntractors have cut a considerable amount of green pine. It None of them have attempted to cut anything 4 like even a smail bunch cf green trees. “Many of the contractors claim that’! they are coming out behind on their work, owing to the Jarge area neces- to cover tu get the dead and down timber. I presuiae tbat for * this reason the temptation to cuta green tree occasionally is particularly strong. But the amount that has been cut illegally is infinitestimal. Some green trees have to be cut for roads, and it is legal to cut boom sucks from green timber. People who have noticed this kind cut under the conditions mentioned have assumed tbat it was cut illegally. Whiie 1 do not wholly approve of the dead and down timber act, there is no doubt! @ tbat a vast amount of timber is being preserved that would otherwise haye gone to waste. The logging work has been of great beuetit to the Indjans,$# and valuable timber which they own has been preserved. “My idea of disposing of the pine on the Indian lands is to allow sawmills to be established upon or near the re- servations, all timber to be scaled by the government, and seld under such conditions as will permit of competi- tion inorder that the best pussible prices may be obtained. Under this system the Indians woutd be afforded employment for a very long period. La regard to work, the Indian should not be treated like a white man. It is not natural for him to work as continu- ously asa white man. It is also true that many of them are physically in- capable of heavy physical toil. Many have consumption and other diseases which make them unfit for leading active lives of industry even if they were so inclined.” West Superior Wins Hirschy Tophy.

The banquet given to the visiting marksmen by the local club on Satur- day evehing at Hotel Pokegama was much enjoyed by all present. County Commissioner Frank Lang, of Rainy Lake City, returned from al trip to Grand Rapids, where he was in attendance at a meeting of the county board, on Sunday evening last and paid Koochiching a visit on Monday. Mr. Lang states that if a lot can be se- cured by the township authorities, he will te able to get an appropriation of $250 for the purpose of building a jail at this place.—Border Budget. IMMENSE LAND DEAL. 90.000 Acres it Itasca and Aitkin Counties Sold for $270,000 Cash. ‘The Minneapolis Times is the auth- ority for the following information: “A large farin land deal was closed -in this city Monday, when 90,000 acres of land in Aitkia and Itasca countics were sold to lowa capitalists, the con- sideration, it is understood, being $270,000. ’ “The land was purchased of G. B. Barnes, of Campbell, Minn., and will be immediately placed on the market for residents of lowa and eastern and southern states. The land wiil not be on the Minnesota markets, but will be exclusively for settlers from out- side the state. many of whom have al- ready made arrangements to secure farms in the tract.” Where Will It End. It would seem that among all the varied predicti of the end of the Boer war one at least ought to come ‘true, but the more detinite the predic: tion the farther from the truth does time prove it to be. The world is be- ginning to regard the Boer republics as invincible—they seemed to bear a Pebarmed life. Rumors that DeWet is verazy act only as a forerunner of a Boer victory. Tales of an armistice between Botha and Kitchener, which + must end in the former's surrender, | are followed by a silence that is more eloquent than news. If there ever was fa war where it seems that the god of -battle was with the right, guiding and guarding, this is the one. } Every true American will regret sthe action of the administration in eknowledging incidently ina public document the annexation of the Boer Hrepublics to the British empire. It Was an unnecessary insult to a brave people fighting for their liberty and heir country. Until the Boers ac- nowledge British sovereignity other Tepubliés, especially the United States, ought to refrain. It was a eap sop thrown to British pre- Jadice. here will this thing end? Time, gjey and men will at last make the A ci Free State and the Transvaal adesert. The fighting strength of the burghers must in time give out. What then ? Rumor has it that Eng- land has concluded to grant annesty to all and loan the burghers money to rebuild their ruined homes, when a colonfal government will be establish- ed over all South Africa, under Gov- ernor-General Sir Alfred Milner. Am- nesty is most generous—it is indeed a surprise, as the world expected to see every Boer banged and the women yiven to the soldiers. The proposition to loan the burgher money to rebuild his home is another generous proposi- tion—purely British—purely commer- cial. Heis a generous man who first burns your house and then lends you money to rebuild, after he has ac- quired title to yourland. <A govern- ment under Sir Alfred Milner will be a government of the Boers by the English. It is no wonder that the Boers have concluded to fight to the end. as they can expect nothing from arestored peace. Were the Boers a nation more able to cope with their adversary, terms of peace could be arranged and their independence pre- served. Spain was absolutely within the power of the United States. yet we gave her $20,020,000 for her islands in the course of a treaty of peace, France was in the clutches of Ger- many, unable to move hand Ar foot, yet she was let off with the loss of Alsace and Lorraine. The murder of the Dutch republics }of South Africa will go down to history as an act as black, a decd as damnable, as the partition of Poland, It is asad gonsment upon the civiliz- ation of this age that such an act is allowed to proceed without a protest from a single government. The mighty navy of the British Empire, like the sword of Damocies, hangs over the commerce of the nations, for the sake of which they dare not raise their hands or voices against this national crime. Where will this thing end? Like all ihe ways of wrong, this will end in disaster to the British empire. The jodividual who commits a crime may evade the punishment of the law, but he never escapes its s'adow. It has become bone of his bone and fiesh of his flesh, and bis punishment goes with him to his grave. It is so of nations. The miils of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small. The ghost of the liberty slain in South Africa, will sit in the place of hunor at the feast at London.

J. J. DECKER. Too Uppity and Biggity. Very likely it will make some good and estimable friends, the school teachers (of both sexes)angry, but we can’t help it. If they only knew how much they detract from their inflence Tor good and how they are condemned behind tneir backs for what might be called their ‘“cocksureness,” they would surely mend their mauners and their methods. ‘There seems to be something 1n the profession of teach- ing that imbues the teacher with an idea that he or she knows it all, that fosters the sneer at the opinions of others and promotes the habit of lay- jog down the law upon all questions whenever in company with mere com- mon every-day folks. Why, bless your souls, Mister, Mistress or Miss Teach- er, you kaew Jess of real life than those in almost any other profession. You are more self-centered. Your opportunities are fewer to get below the skin of humanity. Your position which naturally and rightfully gives you authority over children, carries with it none outside the schioolroom. If you would be great or wise or learned in the eyes of adults you must show greatness, wisdom and learning totally different from that which impresses the infantile minds —the infantile ideas you are teaching to shoot. We conjure you to stop putting on intellectual style. If you don’t believe you do it, ask some honest friend. Wake up and be a little more human, Your profession is honurable but does not coufer a pateni of intellectuality. All thisis addressed to those teachers whom Uncle Remus would call “too uppity and bigygity.’’ Not all teachers deem themselves better than parents and taxpayers. Those who recognize humanity’s common level can afford to ignore the above advice. — Minnea- ‘polis Times. The foregoing does not apply to any teachers in Itasca county that we know of. How to Renovate Velvet. French chalk rubbed in lightly will |remove grease spots from velvet; or the chalk may be dropped un and al- lowed to remain for twelve bours. To restore the pile on velvet hold it very taut over the steam from a pan of boiling water, keeping tne right side on topand having some ene beside you to brush the pile up with a stiff whisk until 1tlooks as itshould. If this part of the work is carefully done the results will be most satisfac- tory.—March Ladies’ Home Journal. “‘Thaye no hesitancy in recommend- ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,” says F. P. Moran, a well known an popular baker of Petersburg, Va. “We haye given it to our children when troubled with bad coughs, also whooping cough, and it has always given perfect satisfaction. - It was re- commended to me by a druggist as the best cough medicine for children as it contained no opium or other harmful drug,” Sold by Itasca’ Mer- cautile Co.
