The description is accurate.

THE VALUE OF DEAD TIMBER Because timber’is deadis not a re’ ) why it is not good material for she mauufacture oflumber. Neither s it always good when it is dead. But manufacturers need not be afraid of t, for it is very easy to determine its » Which depends more or less on long it bas been dead. and the manner in which it was killed. There are three classes of dead time fire killed timber, timber killed by insects, and timber killed by such other causes as drying out or light- ning. Some of the insects that at- tack trees do so before the timber is dead, and some only attack it after it has been killed. For that reasoa timber which has been killed by fire, for instance, should be cut as soon thereafter as possible if it is to be made the bestuse of. At that time there is no reason why it should not make as good lumber as before it is killed. Some timber, which has been dead for fifty years makes as good alue how ber: the Bemidji Pioneer was in the main, correct.’ |GRAND RAPIDS DEFEATED BEMIDJI jon the part of Grand Rapids has not been attacked by thegins, and has not decayed. By far the largest amount of dead timber in the forests of the country has been killed by fire. Insect-killed timber, though widely scattered, is usually restricted to small acres. Dead timber of the third class is found mainly in single trees or small groups. The principal defectin fire-killed timber is check. This appears soon after the death of the tree, but does not increase greatly. Timber above nine thousand feet in elevation is not affected by decay for many years. Such timber has been used for the taanufacture of good lumber fifty years after it was killed, and immense amounts of timber used thirty years after being killed in this manner have been found entirely free from decay. If fire-killed timber is stripped ed of its bark soon after burning, decay is not likely to setin, but if the bark remains, the sap wood near the surface decays quickly. The Value of Lumber. The state of Minnesota has received as high as $13.50a thousand for its standing pine. Not all pine, of course. is as good as that; but when pine on the stumps is worth\ $13.50, it must bea very scraggly old lumber yard, indeed, in! which the lumber runs only $8 a thousand, as was the valuation placed onone big yard reported to the tax powers for assessment this year. It dves not look right to you, does 1t, that a lumber company should report as worth $8 goods that it would ask you $30 to $40 for? And it did not look right to the state buard of equalization, either, for the vote of 15 to4 raising the valuation shows the sentiment of that body concerning the tariff-pro- tected pine barons of Minnesota, A Judge With a Heart. Anent the sentencing of two con- victed criminals at Bemidji last week the Brainerd Arena has the following tosay: ‘Judge McClenahan has re- turned from Kemidji where he has been holding court and upon being seen by areporter for the Arena in regard to the two men who were sentenced to be hanged in January, the judge said smilingly, ‘the account of the passing of sentence as given by the Duluth Tribune was incorrect. I had known for some hours that I hada disagreeable duty to perform and it had somewhat affected my uerves so that when I had commenced, a queer feeling prompted me to retire for a few misutes while I pulled myself to- gether but I did not have to be car- ried.out as stated in that paper, neither was it at the time of passing sentence on Mathieson. It was a duty I do not like, and when it comes to sentencing two in one day it be comes a strenuous business.’’ The judge said that the account given in In a hotly-contested game of foot- ball Saturday afternoon, the Grand Rapids high school football team defeated the Bemidji high school football team by a score of 20 to 5. ‘The two teams put up a good game, but the visitors were too fast for the locals, they evidently having enjoyed the benefits of good coaching. In the first half of the game, Captain Getchell of the Bemidji team ran the entire length of the field for a touch-down, and it looked as though the game was going to be a walk-over for Bemidji all the way through, but there was a sudden reversal of form on the:part of the visiting team. After the line-up when the first touch-down had been made, a fumbie was followed by one of the visiting team getting the ball and going over fora touch-down. The ball was again kicked uff and the Grand Rapids players at once swept down the field to the Bemidji goal for a touch-dowu, shortly after which time was called for the first half. Score—Grand Rapids 20, Bemicji 5. | In the second half Grand Rapids made two more touch downs, wainly through the elegant line smashing of Meyers, Grand Rapids’ star player, It was nearly dark when the whis- tle blew terminating the second half and ending the game, with the score 20 to 5, in favor of the visitors.

Myers (capt) and » The Grand Rapids team is Poin posed of as uice a set of beysas ever played in this city, and as this was their first gemae, they did exceedingly well. After the game had been played, supper was served at the school house, When all had eaten, short speeches were delivered by Supts. Ritchie and Freeman, and also by Manager Shannon. The members of the two teams attended ashow at the opera house inthe evening. A dance was given iu the hall, at the close of the show. A return game will be played at Grand Rapids on November 3.— Bemidji Pioneer. The foregoing account of the game is endorsed by the Grand Rapids cap- tain with the exception of the state- ment that Capt. Getchell made a full field run. It wasa case of line smashes. The boys speak in the highest terms of treatment accorded them at Bemidji and when the r - turn game is played or November 3, the visitors will be treatea with like hospitality. Adjourned for Ten Days. The case of the state against Angelo Specialo, Tony Fido and John Clarence, was called for hearing at 10 o’clock this morning in Justic Bailey’s court and an adjourment taker for ten days. Postponement of the pre- liminary hearing was granted on motion of county Attorney Thwing. The defendants are the three meu charged with crime of having blown up the barn at the Le Lue mine in Nashwauk some time ago, The de- fendants are represented by Joho A. Keyes of Duluth and George H. Spear of Grand Rapids. ORE LAND ASSESSMENT The Bemidji Pioneer says: the assessment of the iron mine proper- ties in Minnesota will remain at the figure fixed by the state tax commis- sion, approximately $191,000,000. ‘This is an increase of fully 150per ceut over the figures of last yearand the de- termination Lo permit the new figures to stand was reached by the state board of equalization after a heategl discussion. Commissioner Heinen offered the motion accepting the tax commis- sivn's valuation, $191,000,000. Com- missioner Meighen, who headed the movement for a_ stiffer valuation, countered the Heinen motion with one increasing the tax commission’s figures 25 per cent and late? Commis- sioner Hodges, in the interest of harmony, as he explained it, tendered a motion making the proposed 1n- creased 10 percent. On the roll call six voted for the increase and it was decleared lost. Commissioner Nolte raised the point that even the tax commission’s valuation was unjust and proposed a cutin the figure, making the total $150,000,000. He only received the support of one other member. The Heinen motion accepting the tax commission’s figures, was voted upon and passed with one negative vote.

Referring to the incredulity and bitter attacks which Henry m. Stan- | ley and other explorers had to meet, | A. J. Mounteney-Jephson writes in Scribner’s Magazine: “I remember one evening in Africa when we were talking together over the camp fire, his telling me, laughingly. about a certain prominent personage who was well known for his pomposity and self- importance. He said: ‘When 1 re turned from finding Livingstone Mr. X. | distrusted me and only offered me one finger of his hand to shake. After my return from my second expedition, when 1 sailed down the Kongo, he gave me two fingers. When I had founded the Kongo Free State for the king of the Belgians and returned to England I got three fingers; but it took me years before 1 got his whole hand.’ This seems to me typically British, and I merely quote this little story to vindicate the grudging recog- nition which has been given to most ot the great explorers hy those ‘arm chair geographers’ who stay at home Livingstone suffered from -his same attftude of incredulity and returned to the interior of Africa, where he met his death, because he could rot bear to face the unbelievers in London un- til he had solved the mystery of the great Lualaba river.” Red School House Shoes Boys’ Bring your boy to “The Pioneer” and dress him Dark brown strpied and dark gray checked chiviots in Knick- erbockers, and dark blue, all | black, and a very dark gray wool serge in double | clay worsted Knicker- i breasted two-piece. bocker.
