Mr. Miles has been quietly lay- ing plans for the new hotel for some time, but has carefully refrained from making the mat- ter public until this afternoon when he stated to the Pioneer that the new hotel would surely be built and outlined to the paper plans for one of the most pretent- ious structures in the city. The site for the hotel will be on Bros. clothing store. It will ex- tend from Third street to the alley at the City hotel and west to the lots occupied by O’Leary & Bowser’s store. Two stories will be built op the present Miles block and the entire structure will be of brick. The office will| be where- the -Pioneer *employ- ment office is at present and will be large and roomy. The build- ing will be equipped with an elevator and will have something like two hundred rooms. It will be fitted throughout in the most thoroughly modern equipment and Mr. Miles believes it will be a paying investment. ! Plans are at present being pre- pared and the new house is a sure thing. It will probably cost completed in the neighbor- hood of $70,000 or §80,000. The announcement of this m- provement should have a very salutory effect on business gen- erally. Mr. Miles’ faith in-the future of the city is appreciated and the prospect is one that will be hailed with delight by the - business puablic generally. Humble Minnesota Hens.

The Crowell-Crocker Land Co., who have recently acquired op- tions on 15,000 acres of cut over lands in the vicinity of Wilton, will bring a large colony of Fin- nish settlers. from Ironwood, Mich., to settle in that section with the opening of spring. Representatives of the Finnish colony and of the Crowell-Crocker (Co. were in the city yesterday returning from Wilton, they had been looking over the country. The representatives of the prospective Finnish colony were very well pleased with the country and with the terms made them and there is little doubt butt that the pending negotiations will be brought to a successful and satisfactory conclusion. where The cut over lands—are _the property of one of the big lum- ber companies who have exten- sive holdings in this section of the state and they are placed in the hands of the Crowell-Crocker Co. for development. Large colonies of Finns were imported - to the copper country of northern Michigan several years, ago and the experiment has been found highly satisfac- tory. Mines in that country have been closing down for some time owing to the depreciation of the copper market and the Finuish people who live there have be- come dissatisfied and are looking elsewhere for homes and_more prosperous conditions.

John McDonald, the well known cruiser, who has just re- turned from a trip to the Stur- geon river country, says the In- dians predict a late spring. Mr. McDonald says that they predict a fall of two more feet of snow before the winter breaks. They arrive at this conclusion after a calculation of signs that have done honor with the Indian weather prophets for many years, and say that this is the hardest winter the Indians have seer in this section for many, many years.
