The Herald- Review joins a host of friends in ex- tending congratulations. Mr. David B_ Gally is being pre- sented this season by Mr. A. W. Cross in Mr. Walker Whiteside’s brilliant comedy in three acts, “We are King.” Equipped with a superb company, rich costumes and correct scenery, this attraction has proved to be of great excellence, and merits the appre- ciation that has been accorded Mr. Gally and company. The Farmers Institute. that was held in the Village hall on Wednesday NMEEECTIVE PAGE was the best and most largely attend- ed that we have ever had here and no doubt would have been even more largely attended:if it had not occurred on the day of the first snow storm. There were a goodly number of en- tertaining speakers here to entertain the farmers and their wives, and far from being the least of these was our own Professor McGuire. At noon dinner was served to all, a donation from the business men of the town. It is a most hopeful sign of the times for our citizens to see the increase display along agricultural __ lines and attive interest should be taken to encourage such meetings. Mr. David B, Gally, who is starring this season, under the management of Mr. A. W. Cross, will appear in Mr. Walker Whiteside’s comedy success “We are King.” Of this delightful comedy, the Dayton, Ohio, Herald, of May 14th, 1907, had the following tosay: “One of the most delightful romantic plays ever seen in the city was artistically rendered yesterday at the National, to an enthusiastic audi- ence. “We are King” depicts a novel series of events, some strong acting and refreshing love scenes. Gustavus Venner, born king of Kahn- burg, was abducted as an infant, and wanders over the globe asa soldier of fortune, only to come back in _ his full manhood and be placed on his own throne, through a. conspiracy, because he looked like the king, who as an infant had been substituted for himself, but who uow, owing toa blow on the head had become a maniac. While acting as a sham King Gustavus accidently learns dunng a strong act between himself and the black prophet, who had been a_ party to the abduction, that he himself is in ‘| Charles Ponti, assisted by his siste: trip up at Hanson lake with their full, prettily set, delightf ness and happy in its ending, should | draw houses, as in deserves.” q The new building recently com- pleted at the corner of Fifth street and Kindred avenue by M.

The At Big Fork, this county, an acci- dent that might have proyed fatal occured to our well known and es- teemed townsmen Cap. Jas. Murchie. While building a fire in the early morning of Tuesday he accidentally picked up the wrong can of two which were placed side by side, and poured gasoline instead of coaloil upon the the fire with the usual results. Altho shocked by the explosion, and realiz- ing that his clothing was on fire he made his way to the open and in the rare presence of mind and reals grit. | succeeded unaided in taking off} his burning clothes, thereby saving himself from certain death. This community deeply sympathize with him and his family in ‘their affliction, and the hope ofa speedy recovery would bea cause of gratitude from many, Thanksgiving Day. In its origin, the institution of Thanksgiving day contemplated appreciation of material benetits toa large extent. The Pilgrims had had a bountiful harvest and had made their footing secure after months of hardship and danger when Governor Bradford appointed the first Thanks- giving day. So it has been,customary. to a large degree, to think of the day as an occasion for giving thanks for material blessing—for bvuntiful crops. for thriving industries, for fat rolls, and for active and profitable business, Important as these. things are, they make for progress oniy as they supply the foundation for it. Real progress isa higher and more vital than material development. ‘The nation that is advancing in material wealth and that is going back in spiritual and moral welfare is a nation that is rotten at the core and that is building up ona foundation of sand a splendid edifice that is doomed to totter and fall. Governor Johrson of Minnesota, splendid example that heis of the class that keeps the higher aims in mind and that gives material pro- gress its due ‘importance but no more, touched upon this most tit- tingly in his Thanksgiving proclama- tion. Said he: “Above and beyond the material wealth that has come to our state, we should reflect with greateful hearts upon the moral uplift that is everywhere apparent. In the grea civic awakening—in the regeneration of the public conscience—we have reason for bélief that a better day is dawning; that there will be less wor- ship of self, less love of power, less lust for gold, less weakening of faith, and that the return to honesty and honor wi!l lead easily and inevitably to the walk of virtue, the way of happiness, the path of glory.” On every hand, in recent years, we have seen evidence that those who have devoted their lives and gifts to the mere accumulation of sordid wealth have made failures of their lives as trul S men who have de- voted themselves to corrupting dis- sipations that led to degration. Only so far as they have, in acumulating their wealth, benefit society by ad- vancing general prosperity and by making life eaiser for the common people, have they succeeded and do they deserye credit. Wher their fortunes haye been gained at a bitter cost to the people, wheny the have used oppressicn and corruption to gain their ends, when they haye for- gotten law and honor in their selfish aims, they have failed, utterly and completely, and the more money they have gafned the greater their failure, because it has involved more sin and suffering. The growing appreciation of the things that are higher and nobler and more satisfying than gold and man- sions and luxuries is indeed cause for deep and heartfelt thanksgiving. It means a splendid uplift forthe people and greater glory for the nation. ; The fight against greed and sel fish- ness and faithlessness calls for the earnest enlistment of ali the peuple. ahd above all of the young men whose careers are just beginning. Let us give thanks tu God for the material progress we have made, but letglad hosannas ring at heaven's gate for the finer, higher and noble pro- gress we are making in the fight for that which ‘the Golden Rule sv thoroughly express—for equality, brotherly love and unselfishness.

It is said this will be the best winter for logging that Northern Minnesota has seen for the last ten years. Conditions could not be more favorable. Usually the great trouble in the fall of the year is the fact that the swamps are not solidly frozen over when the first heavy show arrives. There are a lot of swamps to contend : { { store.

If not, get acquainted with them at once at our little gnomes who will Watch for them in the papers--- they will suggest something new every time they has been sufficient cold weather to freeze the swamps, means that these adverse conditions will exist ail dur- ing the winter, because a blanket of snow has the effect of prevénting freezing. On the other hand, if the swamps are frozen hard before the first fall of snow of consequence, all is plain sailing for the !umbermen, and they have no difficulty in making roads or in getting their horses into the woods to skid logs. Not only are weather conditions more favorable than they have been for) years past, but the labor market is also in a much more satisfactory condition, from the loggers’ stand- point. , Labor is to be secured at al- paid the last two or turee years, and an unlimited supply of labor at that. There are still more men than jobs, and no indications of an immediate raise in wages paid in the woods.! most half the price that has been; bunch of twelve the other day came to Duluth from the vicinity of Bay- field, because of a reduction of the scale, paying their fare all the way. They had been cut to $30 a month. Arriving here the best they could get in the way of a job was$26a month, and they had tc pay their fare to the camps, so they were worse off thpn if they had remained in their Original positions. The exodus of foreign labor tu Eu- rope still continues, and this fact may result in a shortage of labor by next spring. The closing of the mines and stopping of railroad con- tracts, will probably prevent any such shortage during the winter, but when operations open up in the spring unless work is much less than it was last spring, a shortage of labor is al- most inevitable.
