LOG CUT IS HEAVY
FOR A BAD SEASON
FIGURES ANNOUNCED' TODAY
SHOW NEARLY 500,000,00a FEET.
Logs Ar Now Being Rushed to Minne
apolis by Rail to Meet the Demand
for Lumber Caused by the Early
Opening of a Brisk Building Season.
Logging operations for the season of
1905 6 are o-v er as far as any produc
tion is concerned. I a few days all
the camps will break up and in two
weeks if the piesent weather holds the
drives will start. Some logs remain
to be hauled to landings on the Missis
sippi and tributary streams, but all will
be cared for by the time the river
opens.
Despite adverse conditions the log
cut or the second or Minneapolis dis
trict comprising the Mississippi and its
tributaries north from the mouth of the
St. Croix below Hastings will be fully
90 per cent the cut of the previous sea
son's record of 530,000,000 feet. Tliere
is no great falling off of any particular
grades or varieties, the decrease being
evenly distributed and the pine holding
up well. A least 20 per cent more
tamarack than usual has been cut.
These results were announced today
by the surveyor general's office where
the returns from all camps thruout the
second district are kept.
It is believed that the river will open
in ten days, and once open no time will
be lost in getting the drives started.
Logs Came by Rail.
In anticipation of a brisk demand for
lumber and heavy building operations
with the opening of the season and be
cause of the shortage in stocks all over
the country, millions of feet of logs are
being shipped in to Minneapolis this
spring byt rail. The major portion of
the cut will come down with the drives
as usual, but much of the timber for
early sawing will be shipped in.
Sawing operations were continued so
late into the fall last year that compar
atively few logs were left in the river
for the opening cut. With a heavy de
mand the lumber companies cannot wait
for the drives and will depend on logs
brought in by rail. The operation is
expensive, but with the present high
prices, and because of the demand that
is expected, the experiment is being
tried.
Usually some 200,000,000 feet of logs
are carried over in the river every win
ter. The mills start on these and are
thereby enabled to keep in operation
until the drives arrive. A few com
panies, notably the Backus-Brooks com
pany and the Scanlon-Gipson company,
have railed logs in to help out a tem
porary shortage, but rail operations
have never tee undertaken heretofore
on so extensive a scale as at present.
Hundred Cars a Day.
The C. A. Smith company is bringing
in logs at the late of thirty to one
hundred cars a day from the country
north of Bemidji, a distance of 250
miles. They come in on a fast sched
ule over the Minnesota & International
and the Northern Pacific. A tempo
rary line has been built into the yards
at Camden Place, and the logs are
dumped on the ice to be ready when the
season opens. The first contract of this
qompany calls for 5,000,000'feet. Later
25,000,000 or 30,000,000 feet of logs,
cut in previous seasons, that have been
stored in northern lakes, will be
brought in all rail.
All of the mills have some logs on
hand, but not enough to keep them run
ning fullblast until the new cut comes
in unless they open later than the com
panies that are shipping by rail. The
heavy demand for lumber last fall and
open season combined to make the
sawing season unusually long and to
reduce the amount of timber in the
booms, thereby creating the log short
age that will prevail at the opening of
the present sawing season.
Companies that are not bringing in
logs rail are hoping that the sea
son will open early so that the drives
may be started soon.

he was sick and wanted to rest. On
being admitted he sat down upon a sofa
and almost immediately afterwards fell
to the floor clearl.
After a careful examination of the
facts in the case the police are in
clined to believe the story of the
women. The body of the old man,

A JIM KE ESSAY CONTEST
Fifty dollars In prizes to be earned
by the school children of Minneapolis.
This Is one of the things Jim Key
has done.
His visit to Minneapolis means
greatly stimulated Interest among the
children in the treatment of animals
with kindness and patience. Jim
Key Is himself a wonderful product
of that sort of treatment. If his
trainer had not been both kind and
patient, he never could have taught
Jim what he knows and Jim could
never have done the wonderful things
he Is doing for anlmalklnd.
What The Journal wants to
know Is. how much the children of
Minneapolis have learned about the
treatment of animals with kindness
and patience from seeing Jim Key
and In order to find out, The r
a I will give weekly cash prizes to
the pupils of each of five grades In
the Minneapolis schools for the best
300 word essay or story written by
them on the treatment of animals
with kindness and patience, after
seeing Jim Key. They are not to
write any of these articles until after
they have seen this wonderful horse
and then they are to express in writ
ten form what they think about the
subject announoed. This must be
their own work. No prize will be
knowingly awarded for an article
written by any other than a school
I child or by the aid of anyone else.
These prizes will be awarded for a
period of four weeks. The best artl
cles written will be published dally
and at the end of each week the
prizes for the week will be publicly
announced. First, second and third
prizes of $1, 75 cents and 50 cents will
be given to pupils In each grade from
the fourth to the eighth grade, inclu
sive, thruout the city. Further par
ticulars as to the conditions and
award of these prizes will be pub
llshed as the plans are matured. See
Sunday Journal for a fuller state
ment of the matter.
If "actions speak louder than
words." no stronger supporter
of Mayor D. Jones' "lid poli

Jim Key, the world-famous noise -wrho
is to give .educational exhibitions at tho
Auditorium all of next week, under tho
auspices and for the benefit of the
Minneapolis Humane society.
Jim not only believes in temperance,
but practices his beliefs and strictly
confines his beverages to the purest
spring waters. The best is none too
good for his equine majesty, and bot
tled spring water is always in Key lard

or at his temporary headquarters in
the cities where he visits, provisions for
his comfort along this line are always.

other and less noble quadrupeds have
to imbibe.
Knee Is Sore.
King Key is not in the best of health
on account of the shaking up he re
ceived in Kansas City, but the latest
reports from the bedBide of his majesty,
according to Dr. William Key's bulle
tin, are that the patient is on the road
to recovery. Altho suffering trom a
sore knee, he is not confined to the
straw for only a few hours out of the
twenty-four and after his regular
morning constitutional this morning his
majesty took part in a little romp with
his Scotch terrier mascot and ate lib
erally of some sweets that curious vis
itors brought him. He intimated that
he thought he would be in perfect
health by Monday night, when he opens
his engagement at the Auditorium with
a complimentary performance to in
vited guests.
Money fours In.
Money for tickets continues to pour
into the office of the Minneapolis Hu
mane society and everything points to
the most remarkable attendance in the
history of the city. Not only are people
in town going to take advantage of this
opportunity of learning the great
humanitarian lesson that Jim Key has
to teach and incidentally to help the
local Humane society its work, but
Minneapolitans in far-away places and
on pleasure bent are sending their dol
lars to help the good work along. The
secretary of the Humane society has re
ceived money for tickets from Florida,
Cuba, Mississippi, Louisiana, California,
Washington and other states and
countries.

BIG CONCERNS SMELL TROUBLE
AND STCMpK xre.
Business and Flat Buildings Burn
Shavings, Mills Run on Water, and
Other Consumers Must Do the Best
They CanPrice Is Not Reduced on
Anthracite.
$
The soft coal situation, in. Minne
apolis today can be summed up in a
few sentences. Stocks in the coal
companies' yards are not large. I is
divided up between smokeless, lump
and egg, with some steam coal. Large
consumers and the railroads have a fair
supply on hand. The burden of the
shortage will fall on the small manufac
turers, who do not buy largely and who
have only a small amoutn of storage
space, The question today is not one
of price with the consumer, but
whether he can get the coal.
The strike could not come at a better
time, because it is the season when flats
stop consumption of fuel, when the
manufacturers are beginning to burn
shavings, and when there is such a high
stage of water that the flour mills have
small use for their auxiliary steam
plants. This is fortunate for the flour
millers, because none of them has much
storage capacity for fuel.
Stocks at Duluth.
At the Duluth and Superior docks the
supply of coal is not large, according
to the best accounts. What fuel is insigning
stock belongs largely to the railroads
on uncompleted contracts, and the rail
roads have men watching the coal.
Bituminous coal that is already in bot
toms for carriage, up the lakes when
the season opens is designed principal
ly for the railroads, if reports are, true.
Another condition that militates
against the Minneapolis prospect of
getting new coal from the docks is the
enormous consumption of steam coal on
the range in open pit mining and strip
ping. The ore companies must have
the coal and do not hesitate at any
price.
The Minneapolis Gas Light company
is reported to have, a good supply of
coal on hand, so that a scarcity or light
and fuel gas is not in sight. The street
railway company is also said to be well
stocked with bituminous col for its
auxiliary steam plants, so that no trans
portation delays are likely to intervene.
What non-contract fuel is coming into
the city is straggling in on wheels.
Street Railway Stores Fuel.
St. Louis Park, just outside the lim
its of the city, presents much the ap
pearance of a coal-mining town. I
anticipation of -the strike, the street
railway company has 15,000 tons of coal
piled up in reserve. In addition, 200
cars, making 5 000 tons more, are on
the way, and if they escape confisca
tion by the eastern railroads, will be
added to the St. Louis Park supply of
the company.
Other heavy coal consumers in Min
neapolis hav ebeen doing the same. The
Minneapolis & St. loui road has thous
ands of, tons of coal piled up at Bryn
Mawr. "t)ther roads-have large central
supjplies-or have beeja quietly distribut
ing' future supplies along their systems

No Fall $n Pried.
Definite announcement i,s made fay
the coal trade that there will be ho
reduced price on anthracite coal this
spring, as has been usual in the past.
Coal will continue to sell at $8.75 a ton,
instead of being put down 50 cents as
a starter for the new business. Coal
strike probabilities are said to be the
cause of the order issued tod^fc. from
headquarters.
Another feature of the situation is
the fact that the price is in effect only
from day to day. Nn contracts will be
made and coal is for immediate de
livery when ordered.

WOHLB BE SAILOR*
SHOWS HISGHIT
YOUNG MA N ENTERS NAVY
APTEE MUCH TRIBULATION,
Walter E. Capron, Barred from Service
by Defective Hearing, Takes Three
Months' Treatment to Cure Ailment
Tries Many Times Before He Is
Finally Accepted.
Preparing himself for naval service
by having sailor-like marks tatooed
upon his arms and receiving treatment
for a physical defect,-from two physi
cians, Walter Emmet Capron realized
his ambition after three months of pa
tient effort and left for San Francisco
as an apprentice seaman laqb night.
On Dec. 20 young Capron presented
himself at the naval recruiting station
in the postoffice building for enlist
ment. In preparation for a life under
the "Blue Peter" he had tattooed the
letters "TJ. S. N." upon his left fore
arm. He i rejected because of de
fective hearing.
Nothing daunted he placed himself
under the care of a physician and re
ported at the office about a month later.
Examining Surgeon R. A. Bachman found
that -while his hearing had improved, it
was not up to standard. Tho obliged
to reject him, he was much impressed
by the perseverance of the would-be re
cruit and reported the case to the navy
department with a recommendation
that Capron be allowed to enlist on
a paper waiving all claims to
a pension for impairment of-his hearing
while in the service. This was re
fused.
Writes to Secretary.
Capron then made a change of doc
tors and wrote to Secretary of the Navy
Bonaparte. This letter made such an
impression that the secretary wrote to
the Minneapolis office, asking for the
record in the case. As this plainly
showed that one of the applicants ears
was defective, he was again refused en
listment.
Just to show that he was still deter
mined to become one of the "men be
hind the guns," Capron sought a tattoo
artist and had an anchor, draped with
the stars and stripes, pricked into his
arm above the "U. S. N." This was
about a month ago.
Thursday he appeared and asked for
a third examination. Upon his show
ing a physician's certificate that his
ear was in normal condition it was
granted. A thoro test showed that
Capron could hear as well as^nyone,
and yesterday afternoon he Was mus
tered into the" service of Uncle Sam.
Naval Life for Him.
I iust wanted to go into the navy,"
said Capron shortly before he left for
the training
school.hav'
No one suggest
me I been hanging
around the city for the last three
months receiving medical treatment and
am mighty glad that I am going to
night. I think the service offers fine
opportunities for a young fellow with
out much to start him in life.''
So far, young Capron, who is .just
over 21, holds the recdrd for determina
tion at the recruiting office. Even the
men who had a portion of a finger am
putated in order to enlist, cannot beat
him when it comes to tenacity. His
three months of waiting and of deter
mination to keep at it until he got in,
evidenced by his visits to the tattoo ar
tist, will probably remain high water
mark for some time. He never made
any attempt to conceal his defective
hearing, but answered all questions
truthfully.
AMUSEMENTS
MetropolitanNance O'Neil in "Mon
na Vanna
Between that which appeals to the
student beside his reading lamp and
that which stirs the devotee of the
drama in his seat at the theater, there
arises a conflict in the consideration of
Maeterlinck's "Monna Vanna." The
reader with dramatic instinct conjures
up not necessarily the ideal Vanna or
the ideal Guido or Prinzivallej but the
ideal attainment whose possibilities lie
the printed lilies. The student sees,
too, certain beauties of construction
which this actor or that one or per
haps the translatorfails to bring out.
And yet the difference is not that of
the modern bookplay, and it does not
denote a fault of the stageit is some
thing subtle, elusive and it clips no
leaf irom the laurels Miss Nance O 'Neil
wins so worthilv in her production of
the masterpiece.
Perhaps it is better to slur over the
psychology of the play and point a
moral i a the lesson of faith in wifely
loyalty. I is built on the proffered re
lief to a besieged city by its besieger
relief on the condition that the wife of
the besieged garrison's commancler sac
rifice herself to him. Vanna, the wife,
rising above all else, elects to pay the
price for the city's relief. She goes
to Prinzivalle's tent as he bids her,
there to awaken his love as supreme
over his baser passion. The mercenary
chieftain himself is in peril thru treach
erv, and Vanna induces him to accom
pany her back to the city, where their
assertions that the price has not been
claimed are scorned by the husband,
Guido. Seeing her protestations of loy
alty repulsed, the wife at last turns to
the love and faith she knows is hers
in Prinzivalle hoodwinking Guido in
her Maeterlinck-created extremity.
However it may be a lesson to doubt
ing husbands, it is not a healthy idea,
this picturing of ease in throwing off
an irksome marriage bond.
But the play gives Nance O'Neil
some splendid moments, many oppor
tunities to display her powers of voice
and characterization. Hers are, in a
way, the methods of the old school, and
so 'her strength in declamation shines
forth to fine advantage. Miss O'Neil's
voice is perhaps her most remarkable
attribute. Her determination to make
the sacrifice is spoken with rare dis
crimination her second-act speech con
cerning destiny, and her monosyllabic
replies to the mercenary's questions are
voiced with full realization of inflection
values and her womanliness of char
acter is admirably denoted. Her most
showy moments, those in the third act,
are no less fittingly lived, however they
mav hold less in stage requirement. I
is doubtful if her work as Vanna grips
the heart as it does in Magda,'
but
she proves her title to leadership none
the less.
Of John Glendinning's Guido and
Andrew Robson's Prinzivalle much that
is good may be saidbut more which
is not. To the eye they are adequate,
and often to the ear as Twell, but they
slight their word values, they are care
less of inflection's worth, and so fail
to realize or approach the ideal. I
contrast, Mario Marjeroni's Marco,
father of Guido. is a delight, especially
because of his fine reading of his lines.
The others in the cast are adequate, and
the play is well staged, especially the
tent scene, which is set with good
judgment. Hariry B. "Wakefield.

MARCHWAS A LAMB
COMING AND GOING
Coming in like a lamb, and going out
the same way, the March which winds
up its affairs today will take its place
in the meteorological history of Min
neapolis without breaking any record
save that for general, alFaround, con
sistent nastiness.
Aside from having handed a severe
.lolt to the "coming in like a lamb and
going out like a lion'' superstition, and
having four more rainy days than were
called for by the average for the last
fifteen years, it has fallen below the
sensation mark in every performance.
The mean March temperature, exclu
sive of today, was 22.9, which fails
to touch either the maximum of 44.9
degrees in 1878 Or the minimum of 4.7
degrees in 1843. The warmest dav of
the passing month was the 29th, with
a temperature of 50 degrees. The
warmest March day appearing in the-
The Warmest Day.
While Thursday holds the record for
the highest temperature reached, yes
terday was the warmest day. It
mean temperature was 41 degrees, as
opposed to a mean temperature of 37
decrees for Thursday. The 11th, with
a mean temperature nf zero, holds the
minimum mean record as well as the
minimum reading of 6 degrees.
In the matter of precipitation, the
passing month also fails to score. Ex
clusive of today, 0.75 inches of moist
ure was recorded by the government
gauge. The maximum precipitation
was 4.11 inches in March, 1849, and the
minimum was 0.02 inches in 1853. The
average precipitation for the past fif
teen years was 1.70 inches.
When it comes to sky conditions this
March has held close to the average
established in the past sixteen years.
The month's record is: Cloudv, 15
partly cloudy, 8 clear, 8. The sixteen
year average is: Cloudy, 14 partly
cloudy, 9 clear, 9. There were thir
teen days upon which some rain fell,
as against an average of nine rainv
days for the past sixteen years.
Compared with March of last year,
the present March stands as follows:
Mean temperatures1905, 35 degrees
1906, 22.9 decrees. Precipitation
