Approximately 85,000,000 feet of timber hase been cut on state lands in Minnesova in the logging season Just drawing to a cloge, and the state has realized from the sales more than $500,000. Practically all of this will go to the permanent school fund, and will swell that fund to $16,000,000. State Auditor S. G. Iverson estim- ates that there are a billion anda half feet of timber left on state lands, worth at least $10,000,000, This tim- ber is growing each year, and the state auditor is satisfied that the State can cut $500,000 worth every year for nearly a generation. “Phe logging season just drawing to a‘close has been a most prosper- ous one for the state of Minnesota, said Mr. Iverson, the other day. “The receipts from the timber will exceed $500,000, the average price per thousand feet being $6.50. 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 ing, and it is a good investment for the state to let the trees grow. Our 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 year for twenty-five or thirty years.” “PhLis timber is only one of the resources of the trust funds of the state, There are besides the vaiuable mines, from which the state receives ity of 25 cents for every ton of ore shipped, and there is the vast acreage of land from which the vimber is cut.” * Simon Cl: surveyor general of Jogs and lumber for the district of Duluth, yesterday reported scale bills for 20,000,0u0 feet of timber cut in that district, and there are 40,000,000 feet yet to be reported this season ‘The Minoga wis district has ppper ts ximate’ feet, an nner are Fa Naga . the Stillwater and other districts.— Mississippi Valley Lumberman, Notice of Application for Tigues Leiense.

Death of An Esteemed Lady. This community was truly afflicted when Mrs. Elizabeth Hennessy de- parted this life on Thursday after- noon at 1:15 o’clock, avd as the news spread, on all hands was heard ex- pressions of sorrow. Mrs. Hennessy had been ailing but a few days, in- flamation of the kidneys being the cause of her demise. While her sick- ness was of short duration, the ail- ment was of such intensity that the attending physicians advised the fam- ily that there was but little hope to be held out for her recovery, and 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- lered 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 many and many another’s child did her loving heart encompass with that kindness which the Master taught, and many a bowesick lad has cause to bless the day he met that princess of womanhood. That she will be missed needs not the stating, and while to the community her loss is unrepairable, to ber family and her husband, the blow falls most heavily, in fact it cannot be measured with words. ‘By their deeds shall ye kuow them,” says the Gvod Book, and as- suredly the kindly deeds of Elizabeth Hennessy ueed no heralding— {they are as many as the days of her life and as lasting as the sands of time. Of her, it may well be said, she lived to do good and the world Jis better because she has lived. Her home lite was the ideal; society knew heras a lovable woman; the-church in her, had aconsistent, earnest Christian follower, and womankinod was graced by her womanhood. Mrs. Elizubéth Hennessy was born in St. Johns, New Brunswick, Canada, 61 years ago, and about 44 years ago she was wedded to hos. Hennessy, who together with a sister, Mrs. J. Murphy, of -Minneapolis,--and- four children, Mrs. J. T. Ranger, Mrs, J. A. McLeunan and J. H. Hennessy, of Minneapolis, and Wm. Hennessy, of ids, survive her to mourn off of ber whom they ing loved so well. Some twenty-five years ago the Hen- | nessy family moved to Minneapolis , | and for 13 years’ tbey have resided 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 vo her untiring etlorts is largely due the splendid standing of the lodges to which she belonged. Friday afternoon the body was shipped to Minneapolis, where enter- {ment will be bad, 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 fullowed 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 Minneapolisand on Sun- 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. Yor further 2 3 ke ° Great Northern Ry., | WILL HAVE TO VOTE AGAIN Amount of the Bonds Was No‘ Stated in Call. The board of county commissioners was in session Thursday, the main ob- ject being to issue the road and bridge bonds voted March 8th, but the bonds will not be issued until another elec- tion is held for the purpose. The fact is just exactly as the Itasca News stated before the election. There was no specification of the amount of bonds to be issued stated in the notic- es and call for the special election, and therefore from expert advice ob- tained the board finds it cannot issue the bonds. ‘This was not the only er- ror which causes the defeat of the bond issue, but the fact that all the voting precincts of the connty were not suppiied with the necessary sup- piies for holding the election and therefore could not vote, also 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 favorable to 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 for twenty years and zives the county the privilege to re- deem atany time before the expira- tion 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 Reservation Land Until Opening. Many people have etitertained the idea that “squatters and sooner” will be given the ‘first choice when the 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 Lo semove all squatters, who literally swarm these lands. Thief River Falls has been named as the place where Red Lake lana 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 insis 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 must 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 me add to bis 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. They devote the day listening to programs and speeches and rejoice in a quite manner. The heart of the Norweg- ian has ever longee for freedom in or- der to advance and better themselves. And when, afver being 400 years un- der the ruleof Demark, they xot their independence, they took rapid strides in progress, and today they are class- the ed amoug most educated of nations. Another Victim. Another victim of the closed vesti- | bule nuisance on the passenger train j on the Great Northern was H. ©. Tu | ier, who got left last Tuesday. Tuller was passing through De ° | er to ‘srand Rapids on the afternoor train and stepped off on the dep 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. He hung to the | hands rail for a distance of a few rods, but feared the daager of s¢ perilous a ride. Henry stopped off and concluded he had important bus- | ness here the balance of the day.— | Itasca News, i HISTORICAL Must Leave
