Shevlin, the well-known Minneapolis Jumberman. “All this talk about the timber of the country being cut offin fifteen or twenty years is absurd,” said Mr. Shevlin in an interview with the Commerical West last week. ‘Beyond question it will last more than a hun- dred years, and I thinka great deal longer. {We are entering an age of cement and iron construction which will reduce the consumption per cap- , ita in this country very much indeed. * > away. : Our reforestratiou 1s going to be en- surged upon and adopted not only by the government, but by ail owners of standing timber, so all this bugaboo of a treeless country will soon fade . “The greatreason of allfor the high price of lumber in. the last five years was the inability of the rail- ways to transport it from the Pacific coast and the south to the east. .It there had been facilities, Jumber would haye been $2 per thousand cheaper, as there is plenty of timber and plenty of mills to manufacture it, but it was i:npossible to move it for want of railway capacity. man could conceiye how fast this country would grow and they didn’t comprehend what tonnage these great bulky commodities made, requiring no end of cars and locomotives to handle them.” The trouble with the small boy is that his big sister never was a small boy herself and so she doesn’t know how the small boy feels, No living} What The Trouble oY “Phe trouble with the small that she isn’t bigger. ‘The trouble with the big girl is that; every pair of scales she steps on gives her a weigh. The trouble with almost all ministers is that they don’t hear other ministers preach often know what a really first-class, bang- up sermon 1s. The trouble with the young man in love is that he is, insane enough to think that all the other young men are making just as big fools of them- selves about his best gir! as he is. ‘he trouble with the young woman in love is that she doesn’t know wheth- er she really loves the young man for himself alone or for the candy he | brings and the prospects ot a diamond ring to dazzle the other girls with. The trouble with the average wife is that her husband is much more | prodigal with his’ protestations of af-| fection than heis of his money, and that he does not waste much of either unless he wants a button sewed on. . Minnesota Headquarters For Several Things N.Y. Freem: Journal.—But let! us talk about Minnesota. Minnesota | is WET. Do you know what that’ means? I say it is wet, very wet. It is wet ina double sense. It supplies} the world with cold water, and the! Northwest with hot water. ; If you will condescead to look at} your geography familiar to your youth you willsee that Minnesota pours! cold water into the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi; pours cold water into Hudson Bay through the gurl is| the | enough to! Red Ri ver: and pours cold water into | the Atlantic through the St. Law- rence. But don’t imagine that Minnesota goes dry. The state keeps on hand 10,000 lakes brim full of cold water for home consumption. Not isfied with its fame for cold innesota has gained a great jreputation for hot water. It manu- factures enough for its own people and gives more than ensugh to the two dry Dakotas. Moorehead is the faucet of Minnesota and it keeps in constant action supplying the de- mands of the Prohibition, people across the river. is town has forty-five saloons, which like canles, range from low to high degree. They are jammed up pat against the bridge of sighs; and | the keepers wait for victims like the |spider for the fiy. Here are some of the suggestive names which you catch jon a walk: “The Golden Spike,” “Norwegian Nickleplate,”’ “The Silver Mine,” “The Midway,” The 'U and I,” and “The Rathskelier.’s The last sounds about right—like, “The Ravkiller.”’ i i There is need of a Camp of Sons of Veterans in ever town where there | still remains veterans of the war of 1861 to 1865 or where there are solider’s graves to be remembered on Memorial Day.

Why | * Delayed. ie many inquiries have been direc- tothis department asking when | the state aid to schools could be ex- pected that it has been deemed ad- visable to issue this letter giving the situation as it exists. Phe legislature of the state made the appropriation available in Octo- ber and inso doing has anticipated the revenues which do not reach the treasury until the following March. The fall months mark the lean period in the finances of the state and asa result the state is each year com- pelled, to borrow several hundred thovsand dollars. This necessity arose this year, but owing to the un- fortunate condition of the money market it has been impossible to bor- row as heretofore. In fact negotia- tions were completed for the loan to cover this $830,000 appropriation but were abruptly broken off when this present financial situation appeared. Acéordinly, there bas not been a suf- ficiently large cash balance on hand to meet the warrants if they were sent out. The officials of the state are using all the means in their power to make arrangements fur the loan and when they ¢an be made or when the funds for thig, purpose reach the treasury the aii 1 be immediately sent out. “CLARENCE C. DINEHART, State Treasurer. Rone Fane in~thesnew | year served as chimes for the wedding of Miss Edyth Mae King and Henry Ranfranz, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. King, in Grand Rapids. The parlors were tastefully de- corated with flowers and evergreens and as the old year passed into his- tory, to the strains of: the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, played by Miss Carrie Beckfelt, the pridal party entered the parlor and were united in the holy bonds of wedlock by the Rev. Davies of the Presby- terian church. The bride was attired in a dress of corn colored satin that came from Ger- many, ornamented with white polka dots, and carried a bouquet of chrys anthemums. She was attended by Miss Edith Aitkin. The groom’s best man was Mr. Wm. King, brother of the bride.. The bridal party were attend ed by Miss Mabel King, sister of the bride, as flower girl, and Miss Fjorence King, a niece, as ring bearer. Those witnessing the ceremony from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bied, Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Brown, Mrs. Carl Schmied, of Deer River; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lothrop, Coleraine; Miss Bertha Schumacher, Bovey and Miss Delia Smith, Duluth. Others present were: Mr. and Mrs. F. E. King, Mr. and Mrs. Mody Winsor, Mrs. Rev. Davies, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Radke, and Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Smith, Misses Alice Tyndal and Hazel Tyn- dal, and Messrs. A. Sitz, Ed. Hersh- back, John McMahon and Stanley McMahon. After the ceremonies came con- gratulations, followed by an elegant supper. During the repast music was furnished by the King orchestra. The newly wedded couple were the reciprients of many beautiful, costly and useful gifts. ‘(The bride is a popular young lady of this village and the groom has a position in the store of John Beckfelt. The customary wedding tour was omitted and the young couple have gone to house= keeing. The Herald-Review unites: with their friends in wishing them a Pleasant and prosperous voyage on the matrimonial sea. An‘exchange with a business head figures it like this. ‘‘No, the country printer can’t compete with the government on printing envelopes.

Miller, ex-county treasurer, will be the “fall guy.” He is to be con- yicted on three hundred distinct and separate charges. Life impr Inent, followed by death, is to be the sentence of the ‘court. While per- secuting attorney, Jingo tried two of his strongest cases against Miller, but the juries were “bum,” and :ac- quited him, so he is now to be handl- ed in a proper and legal manner Miller's got to go. Jingo couldn’t convict him in district court, but what’s a district court compared with the Kangaroo conducted through the Independent with Jingo George Spear at the pen and Timid Tony as wet nurse? Hard to Please. The chairnan of the county board of health and the county physician, working in conjunction with the,board of county commissioners, have: ren- dered most efficient service to the public during the past yearin their efforts to prevent the spread of con- tageous disease. Yet, everybody is not satisfied. The most absurd com- plaint that has come to our attention is made’by certain parties who protest because cultuers of diphtheria germs are sent to the state university in- stead of to Duluth for analysis. If sent to the university there is no charge. Ifsent to Duluth the cost to the county would probably be from $200 to $400 per year. And so it goes. How would you like to be a commis- sioner.

The business to be transacted will be the election of a chairman and vice-chairman, appointment of County Physician, of the Board of Bealth, Overseer of Poor, Overseer of Roads and Assessor for the unor- ganized portion or the county, and Janitor; fixing salaries of appointive officers, County Super- intendent of schools and County Attorney; computing County Treasurer’s salary and fixing amount ofclerk hire for County Treasurer: selection of Grand and Petit Jurors; financial statement of receipts and disbursements for year 1907 as pre- pared by County Auditor, presented for approval; ordering publication of financial statement; designation of official newspaper and newspaper -in which delinquent tax list shall be published, auditing claims, ete. From the tax statement we find that the total personal property val- uation is $1,935,545; real estate, $18,< 275,937; total valuation of county, $19,311,482. Total amount of taxes levied for state purposes, $79,295.70. Total levy for county purposes, $128,- 421.36; for village, $51,618.24; for town- ship, $70,416.12 and for school districts $144,025.98 The financial statement of the Auditor was not completed at the time of our going tc press but wilt be ready for the board at its meeting. * In this connection we desire to say that the work done by our coun- ty officials during the past, year has ' not, been excelled by that of those of any other countyin the state, and especially is this true of our able, courteous Auditor and his corps of assisstants. During the past year the commis- sioners have worked in harmony and for the best interests of the entire county. It could not be experted | that they pleased everybody, but the | popular verdict will be that they | have accomplished all that good judg- }ment and limited funds would per- mit. Just who will be selected for Cbair- man and the various other positioas is not possible to predict at this time, as but fewof the ccamnissioners jhave been in tuwn since the meeting in December and consequently if any |slate has been prepared itis being age.

Notice to the Public | On the 28th day of December, 1907, at 1 o'clock, P. M., stores known as “The Enterprise,” located in Grand Rapids and Coleraine were sold at public auction by the Trustee to Joseph Levy for the small sum of 50c on the dollar. These two stocks will be merged into one and thrown before the public at actual whole- ~ sale cost, and must be disposed of in short order.
