Frequently you pick uponeof the yca] papers and after glancing at the thrust it aside “Nothing in the paper today.’’ Did you ever, stop to think what that phrase—‘‘aothing in the asks an ex- change. It means that during the day or week just passed no misfortune apyone in our city; it means that the grim angel of death fas crossed no threshold of a friend; that no man driven by liquor. hatred er fear has taken the life ofa fellow human; that no poor devil, haunted ‘by the past or misdeeds of some other, thas crossed the divide by his own and; that many things that ought to bappen have not happened. So the next time you pick up a paper Ghat doesn’t announce a tragedy give @ |Jttle thanks instead of grumbling ‘ecause there is no news. headlines wearily wemarking: paper today’—means? has befallen Reform and Stocks. Duluth Herald: Even if you have mot been carrying stocks on margins, you have probably realized by this time that something has been going -g90 in the stock market. For the last few weeks stocks have tumbled as they have not tum: ®led for years. Indeed, had the na- tional prosperity perished at one fell swoop, and deepest,darkest depression settled over the industries of the country, stocks would hardly Have sone down quicker or farther. Why is it? What has caused 1t? Do Ghe values as recorded in the stock market quotations represent the ace tual value of the railroads, mines and industries of dhe country? And if Shey do, why is it that we have just found it out, and that we nave found it out so suddenly and precipitately? A very careful survey of the com- mercial borizon fails to discover any alarming clouds or threats of storm. ‘The railroads whose stocks have fal- fen so fast and so far are still busily carrying passengers and goods and getting paid for it. ‘he industries whose stock values have shrunk. so much are still active, and while there as evidently a slight falling off in the demand for some products, it does not appear to be any more than was need- -ed to get us down on a safe and sub- stantial basis, for we were kiting it up too much up to a few months ago. As to the copper properties, they are still there: nobody has carried them off, and though the price of the metal is unsettled, and will undoubtedly be lower than it has been, it will still be igh enough to enable most of the «ines to pay their present dividends: ‘and even to increase them. What, then, is the matter? The sBason 1s still summer,when dullness and low prices are to be expected. Yet the greatest drops have followed the fining of the Standard Oil com- many, and there is evidently some <@unection, sentimental, accidental or deliberate, between the stock mar- ket slump and the government’s activity against the trusts. There are intimations in the gossip that the government has done this by its attacks upon corporations. There are thints that the market leaders have deft the market without theirsupport because “Roosevelt seems determined to burn down the house to kill the tats.” There is a presidential election coming next year. Therg are congres- sional sessions coming next winter, when corporations and trusts are likely to receive some corsideration. Can it be possible that the leaders of the stock market, most of whom are connected with criminal trusts 2ad with railroads whose stoek has been watered for Wall street juggling, are trying to convince the American people that reform is dangerous, by giving them this little objectlesson’ in adyance of the presidential election and legislative sessions? It seems not only prossible, but probable. Many Logs. The Mississippi river log drive has been brought down the Mississippi and Schoolcraft rivers and 1s anchored from the sorting works on the south- ern shore of Lake Irving and stretch- ing back on the Mississippi river in a solid jam for at least eight miles, says a dispatch from Bemidji to. the Evening Herald; ‘ The iogy in this big drive number some nine million feet, dnd are the property of the Crookston Lumber company and the Grand Forks Lum- ber copany. The logs belonging to the Grand Forks company are being taken to the East Grand.Forks mill as rapidly as they can be hoisted from Lake Irving and put ou the Great Northern cars, while the majority of the Crookston’s company’s logs will be rafted across Lake Irving and through the narrows into Lake Bemidji, to be sawedat the company’s Bemidji mill. A large number of men employed on the drive were paid off Saturday | and discharged, and their trade in the city was of considerable benefit. to merchants, A. T. Hatcher, the logger, had charge of getting the drive through. and considering the weather condi- tions and stage of the water in the rivers, did an excellent job. Pine Lumber is Scarce. Startling reductions in the amonnt of pine lumber to be produced this season was anuounced by the report of the secretary at the semi-annual meeting of the Northern Pine Manu- factures’ associatiox held yesterday at the West hotel in Minneapolis. A decrease of 240,000,000 feet over last year is reported. Secretary J. E. Rhodes has been preparing the figures from reports gathered from all the members of the association. Twenty-six members report a decrease amounting to 290.- 000,000 feet. Nineteen mills report practically the same cut as last sea- son, and eight report an incréase amounting to 59,500,000. Nearly all the Minneapolis mills and those far- ther down the river will show a de- crease. The total stock of lumber on hand Aug. 1 this year was 852,317,578, feet, as against 965,0799,774 feet at the same time last -year. The shortage is thus very great in both stock and production. ~ Only three of the Minneapolis saw- mills are running now on account of the inability to get tbe logs jJowo with the present low water. One of the mills is running oniy with part of its machinery and another willrun for a few days only, making only une that has enough logs in sight to warrant running at full capacity. Only routine business was trans- acted at the meeting of the associa- tion. The present high prices and the increase in freight rates were subjects of general discussion. A New Ruling. An order issued by the postmaster general regarding postal cards and which is effective on and after August Ist will be of interest to the general public inasmuch as it affords the users of postal cards substantially the same privileges accorded to users of ‘‘post cards.” The new order says the face of the card may be divided by a vertical line placed approx:mate- ly one-third of the distance from the left end of the card, the space to the left of the line to be used fora nies- sage, etc., but the space to the right for the address only, and addresses may be either written printed or affixed thereto at the option of the sender. Very thin sheets of paper may be attached to the card on con- dition that they completely adhere thereto, and such sheets may bear both writing and printing. Adver- tisements, illustrations or writing DEFECTIVE oe may appear on the back of the card and on the leftthird of the face. The addition to a postal card of matter other than as above specified will subject the card when sent in the mails, to postage according to the character of the message—at letter rate if wholly or partly in writ- ing, or third class rate if entirely in print. In either case the postage value of the stamp impressed upon theeard will not be impaired. Pos- tal cards bearing particles of glass, mica, metal, sand, tinsel or other similar substances, are unmailable except when enclosed in envelopes with proper postage attached. or when treated in such a manner as will prevent the objectionable sub- stances from. being rubbed off or in- juring persons handling the mails.— Brainerd Dispatch.

Pardonable Adulteration. Peaches are a scarce article this season, and -about the best thrifty housewives can do is to put up silver prunes and drop in an occasional peach pit as a make believe. And since silver prunes are about as toothsome as peaches anyway, it makes little difference. — Newburg (Or.) Graphic. Italians in the United States. In the year ended April 30, 1906, the Italian government issued 148,008 passports for emigrants to the Uni- ted States, but we received 221,749 in the fiscal year 1905 and more in 1906. All of these did not come from Italy. Deposits in Italian banks show that $8,000,000 a year is sent to Italy by emigrants, many of whom intend to return to their native country. Con- sul Paul Nash of Venive says that when it seemed probable that illiter- ates would be denied entrance to the United States night schools were opened in Italy for the benefit of emi- grants, but when the prospect of such legislation vanished the schools were closed. 25255252525 S3—. Miles of Fisn. Immense schools of tuna still swarm about the bay and stretch up out of the island coast as far as the isthmus, & distance of fourteen miles, and the number is simply beyond computation, says the Avalon correspondent of the Los Angeles Times. The schools of fish are not all tuna, but have a liberal mixture of albicore, shipjacks and barracuda. Where the legions of fish come from is a great mystery, and the wonder is that ‘so great a multitude, with the appetites of healthy tuna, can find enough food in the sea with which to appease their hunger.

The enormous value attaching to the eggs of birds which have become extinct has been recalled by the acci- dent that has befallen the specimen of the great auk, which constitutes one of the treasures of the Scarbor- ough museum.
