This is nearly three times as much as the State received eight or ten years ago. when the price of lumber.was low.” ‘It must be remembered that the policy of the state is to cut only the timber.in danger of being destroyed by fire, windfall or in other way. The price of lumber, is gradually increas ing, and it is a good investment for cruisers estimate that there area billion and a half feet of timber standing. This, at the present price, is worth in the neighborhood of $10,- 000,000.. The timber is constantly growing, and it is safe to predict that “Lis timber is only one of the resources of the trust funds of the state, There are besides the vatuable mines, from which the state receives a royality of 25 cents for every ton of ore shipped, and there is the vast acreage of land from which the uimber is cut.” * Simon ita o surveyor general of logs and lumber for the district of Duluth, yesterday reported scale bills for 20,000,000 feet of timber cut in that district, and there are 40,000,000 ger yet to be reported this season The district. has report- eet, and ther 5 e the Stillwater and other districts.— Mississippi Valley Lumberman, Notice of Application for Dapieg.

E. J. FARKELL, County Auditor, Itasca county, Minn. Dated May 18th. 1904, word was sent to her children to im- mediately come to her bedside, Her sister and two sons and two daught- ers, besides her husband, were gath- ered around her when her spirit took flight to its Maker. Probably no woman in Northern Minnesota could compare with Mrs Elizabeth Hennessy, and it can be said of her that she was a mother in all that the word emplies. Not only to her own children did her great heart go out with love and protection, but mauy aud many another’s child did her loving heart encompass with that kindness which tle Master taught, and many a homesick lad bas cause to bless the day he met that princess of womanhood. That she will be missed needs not the stating, aud while to the community her loss is unrepairable, to her family and ber husband, the blow falls most heavily, in fact it cannot be measured with words. “By their deeds shall ye kuow them,” says the Good Book, and as- suredly the kindly deeds of Elizabeth Hennessy wveed no_ heralding— they are us many as the days of her life and as lasting as the sands of time. Of her, it may well be said, she lived tv du good and the world is better because she has lived. Her home life was the ideal; society knew her asa lovable woman; the-church in her, had aconsistent, earnest Christian follower, and womankiod was graced by her womanhood. Mrs. Elizubéth Henvessy was born in St. Johns, New Brunswick, Canada, 61 years ago, and about 44 years ago she was wedded to ‘Thos. Hennessy, who together with a sister, Mrs. ‘Murphy, of -Minneapolis,~.and fou children, Mrs. J. T. Ranger, Mrs. A. McLeunan and J, H. Hennessy, of Minneapolis, and Wm. Hennessy, of Grand Rapids, survive her to mourn the taking off of ber whom they loved so well. Some twenty-five years ago the Hen- nessy family moved to Minneapolis and for 13 years’tbey have vesided in Grand Rapids, honored and loved by all. Mrs. Hennessy was a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic church, and was a member of several of the local lodges, in which organizations she was an incessant worker, aud to her untiring etlorts is largely due the splendid standing of the lodges to which she. belonged. Friday afternuon the body was shipped to Minneapolis, where enter- ment will be had, the family accom- panying the remains. The casket which contained all that was mortal of her whom every Grand Rapidsite revered and honored was piled high with floral tributes, and a large con- course of people fellowed the re- mains from the Hennessy residence to the depot. The body will be taken to her daughter’s residence Mrs. J. A. McLennan of Minneupolisand on Sun- rd|day afternoon services will be con- ducted at the Immaculate Conception church after which interment will be had in the Catholic cemetery, where rests the remains of her children. es and call for the special election, and therefore from. expert advice ob- tained the board finds it cannot issue the bonds. ‘Chis was not the only er- ror which causes the defeat of the bond issue, but the fact that all the voting precincts of the county were not supplied with the necessary sup- piies for holding the election and therefore could not vote, alsu was a hindrance to making the issue. A special election will be called for June 18, to again vote on the question. By offers made, the commissioners are certain the bonds will be purchased readily and it-is also believed the vote will carry tavorable tu issuing the bonds by a large majority. Mr Shel- don of the First National bank of this city offers to take the bonds at six per cent fur twenty years and zives the county the privilege to re- deem atany time before the expira- tiou period. He also offers a bonus of $150 which is figured to be the cost of the special election. The question of the county purchas- ing, improving and maintaining a forty-acre, tract of lapd here for a race track, and fair grounds is also tu be put before the people for voting upon in the near future. The board will meet next on June 6. —Itasca News. SQUATTERS MUST GO Squatters and Sooners Must Leave Reservation Land Until Opening. Many people have etitertained the idea that “squatters and sooner” will formal opening of the reservation — lands take place. ‘This is not. the . case as Secretary Hitchcock has di- rected United States marshals in Minnesota and South Dakota, to at once take measures to remove all squatters, who literally swarm these lands. Thief River Falls has been named as the place where Red Lake land will be sold, and the people of Crook- ston are very much put out and are exerting all their influence to have the sale held at that place. They give as reason that the land office is located there. The general land of- fice insists, however, that Thief Riv- ver Falls is the proper place, and Commissioner Richards says that he is looking to the interest of the set<« tlers rather than interest of any town. The prospective settlers inust goto Thief River Falls in order to see and form an idea. of the land upon which he _ wishes to bid, and to go to Crookston would merely add to his expense. It is not at all probable that the place of auc- tion will be changed. Norway’s Independence Day. Tuesday, May 17, was the ninetieth anniversiary of their independence from Denmark. This day is celebrat- ed all over the world where Norweg- ians congregate in any number, it means to them what the Fourth of July means to us and is celebrated in much the same spirt, although, per- haps, in a more fitting manner.

C, Tul- ler, who got left last Tuesday. Mr. Tuller was passing through Deer Riv- er to ‘srand Rapids on the afternoon train and stepped off on the depot platform to talk to some of the help of his company’s store and after the train had started out he went to get aboard and found the doors at the steps were closed.
