Great Record for January The Minneapolis Journal has again demonstrated right to itsowners title of "The Great Daily of Great Northwest," having car ried in 26 issues in January 1.311 columns of PAID advertising, while its nearest competitor car ried 882 columns, or nearly 50 per cent less. By eliminating objectionable medical advertising, which The Journal would not carry, from the amount of its nearest com petitor, The Journal carried as much advertising in its 26 issues as its competitor carried in itshave 26 daily and five big Sunday issues. AS TO CIRCULATION. During January The Journal's circulation showed the gratifying daily average of 61,463 Copies. ss Progress of the War. To-day's war news records nothing startling. Th expectation that the Japanese would return to Port Arthur and endeavor to destroy the crippled Jtussian fleet has not so far been ful filled. At this distance it seems strange that the victorious Japanese did not follow up their first demoraliz ing blows with others aimed at the destruction of Russia's naval strength In the east. Possibly, tho satisfied that they had put the Itusisan fleet out .Of offensive work for some days at 'least, the Japanese have decided to Insure the landing of a large ar my in Korea and possibly Manchuria before undertaking the destruction of the Russian fleet, in doing which there is a chance that they might themselves suffer heavy losses. A few chance 'shots or well directed torpedoes might turn the tables of the naval game. The most interesting part of the jSflay's news is the confirmed statement that the Japanese have blown up an Important bridge on the Manchurian .railway. I thus appears that there 'was some foundation for antebellum statements that the Japanese had al ready perfected arrangements for cut ting the railway line upon which Rus sia must depend for the hope of suc cess in land operations, Korea appears already to be firmly within the Japanese grasp. Thus the little brown men have provided thenar iSelves with a firm foothold for launch ing a land attack against the Russians iin Manchuria. Northern Korea ap pears already to have been invaded by the Russians. I may not, therefore, fce very long: before a stiff land battle will be fought, th an important com bat Is hardly to be expected within a few days. It took the Japs about five months from the beginning of the war With China to take Port Arthur, and they are not likely to advance much faster when confronting- the Russians. Judge Steele says that he will take no Job that calls him away from Minneapolis. Probably the Judge made some mental reservations. The Pay of Ministers. A Methodist minister somewhere I Minnesota who was a newspaper man England from 1 $75 to 1886, but seems to have jumped from the frying pan into the fire, sends the following touching communication to the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle My salary, Ls. a little better than at my last parish, $700 per year. It is already $80 in arrears. A charge of $50 for moving expenses is yet unpaid to my stewards. I have five children, from 23 to 12 years old, two of whom are in college In this state, a third son being compelled to stay out of college last November to work at a railroad station to get money enough to finish his course he is now a junior. Two are at home with me, both girls, attend ing school here.

More than that, t&e News and Courier says it knows a place in South Carolina where ministers formerly lived, raised large families and put by some savings on a salary of 9700 a year. I fact, It says, $701) a year is about1 twice the salary received to-day by the country minis ters in some of the South Carolina churches. Ministers, along with their small salaries, certainly have learned the art of cheap living. W know of a "York state" minister of an earlier day. who brought up a large family on a salary of $200 a year with a few little per quisites, such as free rent, in .Addition. We know of a successful country pas tor of the. present day who has prob ably never had so much as $700 a year, has successfully raised a family of several children, has been able to take occasional vacation trips of some length and has saved a considerable sum of money, The miracle of the loaves and fishes seems to be oontinually repeated in the affairs of our poorly-paid minis ters. Bu even at that it would be better for them and better for those they so loyally, serve if they were reg ularly paid somewhere near what they earn..... Forestry Lumbering. It is announced from Washington that the Weyerhaeuser interests and the Northern Pacific have asked the forestry bureau to propose plans for the administration of their Washing ton and Idaho forests. This means, of course, that these two great timber have decided to conduct their lumbering operations in the future a view to the treatment of their forests as permanent sources of tim ber supply. -The method of lumbering that has been in vogue in America ever since its settlement has looked, upon the forest merely as a timber deposit, to be removed on the same principle as a mineral deposit which is incapable of reproducing itself. From this departure it would appear that the era of lumbering on forestry principles is to arrive in America somewhat sooner than the friends of forestry ever thought it would. They been of the opinion that, in view of the conditions prevailing in this country, there was no hopfe that any standing forest privately owned would be spared from wholesale--destrurction. Evidently, however, fait' "sighted lumbermen have foreseen that the men who have forests of matu re or matur ing trees just at the time when others are beginning to reforest for the bene fit of a future generation, will be the ones who will reap a golden harvest. We have always thought that the whole coniferous forest of northern Minnesota is doomed to destruction* but if lumbering on the principle of preserving the forest as a whole -is good in Washington and Idaho, it ought to be good in Minnesota, it Would seem. Still, differing conditions, such as smaller holdings, high taxes, danger of fires and nearness to the market may make it commercially un wise for the Minnesota owner to pre serve his forests as timber supplies. Have you drawn a lesson from the first battles of the Russo-Japanese war? Your guess is as good as anybody's. Mr. Dunn's Explanation, Mr. R, C. Dunn, a candidate for the republican nomination fox* governor, is out with a long statement-in-whieht he endeavors to put himself Triglit on the merger question. cites a for mer interview as proof that his atti tude is correct and in line with the state's policy, yet in that very inter view he said that he believed that the fight against Mr. Hill was inspired by "rival railway interests." The "fight" he referred to was the prosecution of the suit against the merger, inaugurated by Governor "Van Sant I effect, therefore, Mr. Dunn said that an attempt to enforce law was merely a phase "Of railway rivalry. In the whole interview, which .the candidate so boldly cites,_ there is not a single word of approval or praise of the state administration fer doing its duty. Every party man has a good right to sacrifice his personal views to those of the party. W have, therefore, no fault to find with Mr. Dunn's em phatic, th late, declaration that he in dorses the merger clause of the last republican state platform, that he is opposed to railway, monopoly, that he will enforce the laws if elected, and that if judicial interpretation makes those laws ineffective, will -move for new and effective legislation. At the same time we venture to suggest that it will occur to many peo ple that If Mr. Dunn had been in har mony with the state's position as to the merger, there. would be no occa sion for explanations now. We would hate to see a Russian vlotory now. it would be so embarrassing to the numerous people who told you so. American Manufacturers in Favor. The way ,the wind blows in some quarters in western Canada Is shown by the remarks made by former "Premier Greenway In the discussion in the Manitoba legislature over the gov ernment's preferential trade resolu tion. This Is the summary of the Greenway speech as given by a Can adian paper: In the course of his remarks Mr. Green way sneered at the eastern Canadian di a ing and food. etc. Insurance premium due this month yet unpaid.

But putting that aside, the '""de- mands of geography are not lightly to be waived. Conditions in, western Canada and western United States are so much alike that there Is bound to be a great degree of similarity be tween the populations of the two re gions, and this similarity is greatly promoted by the immigration of American farmers into western Can ada. There is, therefore, a measure of truth in Mr. Greenway's statement that it will continue to be necessary for the Canadian wheat farmer to .do business with American manufac turers.

THE ROHPAREIL BAH The Opportunity of a Lifetime to Invest Your 8avlngs In Little Gold Brick Radi um Stock-Treasury Stock Now Worth $100,000 a Share, to Be Sold During Feb ruary at Two Cents a Share to Raise Money for Development Purposes. Do you want to get. .a. few shares of stock in the Little Gold Brick Radium" mine? It is easily worth $100,000 a share, but, during February only, the develop ment stock will be sold for two cents on the share. There is no question that we have the radium ore in immense quan* titles, but in order to get money for det velopment, a million shares of treasury stock has been appropriated and will bW sold to the public at the merely nominal* price of two cents. After March 1 the price will be raised to ten cents a share. If the radium deposit is tapped the stock Will easily jump to $100,000 a share before March 1, as every one knows that radium is. sejling in every market of the world at $2,000,600 a pound. We "have the facil ities to turn out tons of it. Any man who will do a little figuring will see what this means. Our Professor Frank A. Millington, a* graduate of the Pittsburg Technical School of Practical, Theoretical and Applied Min eralogy, has tested our ore and writes us as, follows: Little Gold The war in the orient recalls the rhyme: Thrice ls he armed who has his quarrel just.

Farmer Ben of the Austin Transcript was shocked by the remark of a Chicago school principal that Shakspere was a cheap punster with a wit of. a mean or der and that he was greatly overrated. Farmer Ben comes to the defense of the "Bard of Avon" against his detractor thus: Why-,.-the. more I har read Shakespear thro all these years the more I catch ou to the wealth of bis diction- and the wonderful range of his thinkin' apparatus. Our gal Sarah reads him lots out loud durin' evenings, and me and mother just fill up with rnjoyment In hearln' him. And, then to think that there are ignoramuses so far destitute of. common sense and brains and ap preci'atin' power of the grand and high and noble and sublime in thought that they can see no beauty in the bard of Avon.

It is pretty tough, but it is getting so now that we potato diggers can send our children to the agricultural school. The quick and fierce work of the" Japs reminds us of the time back in Stony Lonesome when Shorty Hitchcock first got his new gun. It was a little muzzle loader and ..Shorty, .felt as proud as Blazeaway Bill when that wonderful scout killed two Oneida Indians at one shot. The boys all swarmed around the house and wanted to feel of the new. gun, to snap.the hammer and to Are It at a fence post. Finally Spot Maloney conceived a most brilliant idea. "Say, let's shoot at the hornets' nest." The nest was about as large as a water pall and was located in the peak of the barn under the projecting roof. Shorty was delighted with the idea. The boys stood around breathless as he put in four Angel's of powder, rammed it well down and ^placed on the wadding a small hand ful of double shot. The noise and-smoke had barely cleared away before the air was full of yellow jackets. "MadJ Ybu never saw hornets'so full of wrath and battle as those yellow boys were.
