THE people of Hibbing are to be congratulated upon the prospect of having a permanent park. Work on the new park grounds is now under way and the new institution will be in shape for the Range Fire men's Tournament, in August next. THE cause of temperance received another boost on Monday at Wich ita, Kansas, when Mrs. Carrie Nation headed a band of saloon smashers and demolished the interior of two Satanic sinking holes before the police arrived on the scene and stopped the fun. THE Hibbing News has entered upon its eighth year. Under the efficient editorial management of Bro. Atkinson the News is among our most valued exchanges, and we are pleased to ndte the evident pros perty attending the meritorious efforts of its publisher. THERE is some talk of an attempt to pass a primary elect'on law mak ing the primary election law now in vogue in Hennepin county a gen eral one. Such a move will call forth the wrath of the political bosses who control the county con ventions, but will meet, with the approval of the populace SENATOR HAWKINS hold a unique position as the lone member of the St. Louis delegation who entered the senatorial contest in favof of Gen. Moses E. Clapp, who won out as the unanimous choice of the legislature as successor to Hon. C. K. Davis. And the choice receives the hearty support of the voters in all parts of the state. AN editor over in the western part of the state says he lias two subscribers who frequently get] full, and every time they are in that condition they come in and pay a year in advance. One of tliem is already credited to 1941 and the fra ternity throughout the state are crazy to find out what, kind of whis key he drinks. They want to offer as a preminni. ADVERTISING ie to the merchant what plowing and sowing is to the farmer. Imagine a farmer trying to raise a crop hy sitting on the fence as he looks over a ten-acre field wishing that a nice crop of wheat or corn would spring up on it. Ridiculous, isn't it? But not any more so than the merchant who hides a stock of goods snvay in a storeroom and then sit on the coun ter hoping that people will come in and buy. TO DESPATCH WORK. A railroad organization has be gun a period of indefinite activity, with headquarters at Virginia, Minn. It is known as the Missabe Range Car Service association, and its purposes are the sam* as those of the Lake Superior Car Service association of Duluth—to despatch the unloading of freight cars, and to enforce demurrage charges where certain regulations as to time in removing tlie contents of cars are not observed. F. L. Klock, of Virginia, is chairman of the new association and his name is cer tainly suggestive of his duties. As time is the essence of the regula tions of the association it will be- hoove patrons of the roads in the association to watch the clock, The Missabe Range Car Service association is composed of the Du luth, Missabe & Northern, Duluth & Iron Range and Eastern Minnesota roads. The association will exact a demurrage charge for trackage and car rental on all cars remain ing under load more than 48 hours, not including Sunday or legal holi days, after the delivery of such cars to the .proper place of unloading. The same rule will apply to all cars being loaded or held longer than 48 hours by failure of shipper to fur nish billing directions or finish loading of car or cars. For-the first two days after expir- ation of the 48hottro9 COMMON COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS, Rnguiar meeting. 53U T3i5-iv'•V. one dollar* a day or fraction thereof will be charged, and for each day after the second day or fraction thereof, $2 per car per day.—News-Tribune. AUBA OB THB BoBEST. A valuable report on the lumber trade is now being prepared by the bureau of statistics, which esti mates that the standing timber in th" United States now covers an area of l,C9i,493 square ruiles, and conta%is a supply of 2,300,000,000,000 feet. The states having the largest sup ply of timber are: Texas, 64.000 square miles Oregon, 54,3C0 Minn esota, 53,230 Washington, 47,700 Arkansas, 47,000 California. 44,730 Montana, 42,000 Georgia, 42,000 Missouri, 41,000. Timber is cut at the rate of about 40,000,000,000 feet a year, and if the same average is continued the sup ply will last about sixty years. In Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan last year the plumber cut amounted to 6,153,930,000 feet, which was a decided falling off from the average during the last ten years The maximum was reached in 1890, when the total lumber cut was 8, 898,533,000 feet, but it has been get ting less annually until it reached the minimum in 1900 with a total of 6,153,297,000 feet. The export of lumber is becoming a very important feature of foreign commerce, having nearly doubled within ten years. The total export of wood and manufactures of wood last year were valued at $50,589,000. Most of the lumber was sent faom the Pacific Coast to South America and Asiatic countries. AN BN.JOIABLB teSVBKTA INlUEFT. The concert at the Fay Oper Wednesday evening under the di rec orship of Mrs. Margaret Cutter, of Duluth, was well attended and a more enjoyable entertainment was never listened to by enraptured Vir ginians. The quartette was c!om posed of Mrs. Margaret M. Cutter, contralto. Mrs. Gaston Borch, so prano, Miss Sarah Mildred Wilmar reader, and Miss Mable Fulton, pianist, and special mention of one could but do injustice 1o the others. The company intends revisiting the city shortly, and are assured of en thusiastic audiences at future en gagements. At the conclusion of the enler tainment the many friends of Supt, and Mrs. Wm. Park tendered a fare well reception in their honor, danc ing being enjoyed until a late hour. Mr. and Mrs. Park expect to leave for their new home at Fargo the coming week.
