Panhandled a Parson.
The Rev. F. E. Higgings, the
'luinerjack sky pilot^-was-com-
ing down the street yesterday
when a party of four woodsmen
all more or less in corn spid him.
"Let's panhandle him" said one.!
"Naw" rejoined a companion "he
wont dig up." Higgins knew the
men. He had met them in theGoff
camps and he gave them all a
hearty handsake. Finally one
bolder than the others informed
him that they were broke and
asked him to f'square it for a
feed." The party were taken to
the Remore hotel and the clerk
was ordered to give them their
dinner. Mr. Higgins left the
hotel. One of the men took din
ner and the other three roasted
him because he didn't give them
money to buy whisky and went
away without eating. Some peo
ple are never satisfied.
Cold Cars.
Inclement weather makes it
well nigh impossible to keep
passenger cars warm and the
traveling public is complaning
much as a result. The Great
Northern has one night train that
has been nicknamed "Coonskin
Limited because the passengers
must all must wear coon skin
coats to keep from freezing to
death and the Northern Pacific
comes in for its share of satire as
well. The equipment of both
roads is to be improved in the
near future and travel will be
made much more comfortable.
To Cruise New Towns.
Tracy Barwell, veteran cruiser
left over the M. & I. last night i
for a trip over the seven new
towns between the Big Fork and
Little Fork country which are to
be opened some'time next month.
Mr. Barwell expects to cover
them quite thoroughly and to
pick out some good claims. He
has a thorough knowledge of the
country and says that some of
the finest pine claims in the state
may be located there.

TO HUMP HIMSELF
FOR CROOKSTON
Congressman Steenerson at
Crookston With Glad Talk
of Public Building.
STALWART OF THE NINTH TALKS
OF CAPITOL AFFAIRS.
Mr. Steenerson Pleased With His
Committees and Finds Much
Joy in Being Congressman.
Congressman Steenerson, the
stalwart representative of the
Ninth, is at Crookston, where he
arrived Monday from Washing
ton and brings with him the glad
he can to secure an appropriation
for a public building at Crooks
ton, and has every reason to be
lieve that his efforts will be
atSecond
tended by the success.
Mr. Steenerson has introduced
-a bill providing for an appropria
tion of $150,000, and is quite con
fident that he will land $100,000
at least. His position on the
committee on postoffices and
dent of success.
As to his appointment on this
committee Mr. Steenerson says
he is as well pleased as though he
had landed the judiciary com
mittee. The postoffice committee
is one of great importance and
handles allsortsof appropriations.
He is chairman of the sub
committee on foreign mails and
committee may include a trip
abroad some time next summer.
As to reciprocity with Canada,
Mr. Steenerson was non-com
mittal. He said that he could not
express himself until the sch
edules were formulated. Some of
his constituents want one thing
and some another. He will try to
secure modifications to suit a ma
jority of them in any bill which
onies before the lower house of.
congress. As to the new policy
of tariff revion of the democracy
he says that the minority leader,
Williams, has seen a vision. In his
speech in the house Mr. Williams
assailed protection in any form in
the most bitter language. Mr
Steenerson is of the opinion that
the tariff must be revised but that
it will never do tolet free traders
doit. He will probably make his
maiden speech in the house in
reply to John Lind's" recent ad
dress on the tariff question. He
does not anticipate that much
will be.made by the democrats in
adoption of republican poli
cies relative to the tariff.
Wouldn't Work on Christmas.
A party of seven Scandinavian
woodsmen are at the Remore
hotel looking for a situation be
caus they refused to work on
Christmas day at one of the Nel
son & Frye camps near Akeley.

country where the traditions of
Christinas is very dear and are
spending their first winter in
Minnesota pine woods, They
could not reconcile themselves
to work oii^ Christmas clay and
they were accordingly discharg
ed. Now they will attach some
of the logs to secure their wages.
When they came out they Were
paid at the rate of 26 per month
when they went in they un
derstood that they were being
hired for $30.
