The Canadian Jubilee singers appeared last evening at the Opera House to a large crowd, many having to stand all through the performance. It goes with- out saying that it was a most talented and charming affair from beginning to end. The singing of Madame Marie Dorsa was worth the price of admission. Her equal is not in the North- west. To classify her with any soprano who has appeared in our city would be an insult. The orchestra was of a high order and was greatly enjoyed. ‘Through Tourist Car Service To California Via Chicago Great Western Railway.

Word from Longville brings the intelhgence that a filer of Camp 5 of the Northland Pine company, name unknown, had a narrow escape from being crush- ed under the wheels of a logging train Sunday evening. Thke man was badly bruised and it will be some time before he will be able to be out of the hospital. The man was intoxicated, it is said, and attempted to board a | string of logging cars that were going through town at full speed. Fortunately, instead of being thrown under the wheels he was knocked down lengthwise with the train, but was pounded ,unmercifully by the projections on the trucks of the cars. He was taken toa Brainerd hospital for treatment last night. Card of Thanks. We wish to express our thanks to the neighhors and friends, and especially Mr. and Mrs. C. A.

I It is doubtful if it is generslly understood in all villages and {.l; is likely that there will be. several who will suffer the penalty [for not having putiished it, butin many of the offices the statement is being prepared for publica- tion this week. Heretofore it has been custom- ary for the financial statement to be pasted on public buildings and other conspicuous places but this was hardly a reliable method of publishing it and it is now a state law that all official papers in the villages of the state must publish it. MILLIONS IN ORE DEAL. Great Northern Leases Mesaba Lands to Steel Trust. Cleveland, March 2—The Iron Trade Review announces on reliable Duluth authority that the long pend- ing deal for the ore land leases from the Hill interest to the steel trust has come to a head. Terms are agreed upon, with one possible item .ijn re- serve, and a compromise has been reached on royalties. The United States Steel corporation agrees to haul over the Great North- ern to Lake Superior .not less,than 10,000,000 tons of ore every year at 80 cents a ton for thirty vears. That is a guarantee of $8,000,000 a year freight for the Great Northern at a rate that is considered very remuner- ative. A royalty is to be paid of 75 cents a ton this year, 8) cents next.year and sc on to $1 a ton, at which it .is to continue the rest of the thirty years. The deposits are reckoned at not less than 300,000,000 tons. The royalties will come to not less than $250,000; 900. It is understood that the deal -hung fire for some time between 75 cents and $1, bid and asked. The compro- mise gives the Hill interest the larger end of the 2mount in dispute for twen- ty-five out of the thirty years. The relation of the ore companies to the Great Northern has not been disclosed and therein lies a doubt as to the distribution of the melon. Great Northern stock has been boomed above 300 on the whispered anticipa- tlon that Hill was going to divide this treasure of iron ore with his friends. Great Northern in any case is as- sured a profitable haul on 10,000,000 tons of ore yearly, the present rate of 80 cents being liberal compensation. But the profits of that have already been discouxted. MITCHELL AWAITS REPLY. Operators Have Not Answered Min- ers’ Demands. New York, March 2.—John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Weorkers of America, said during the day that he had not yet received a reply from the operators regarding the demands of the anthracite miners, which were forwarded to George F.

This would be the natural crossing place for any road that desires its own terminals, and while Smith refuses to confirm or deny the report, there is suffi- cicnt evidence at hand to indicate that the railroad people are back of the deal. The amount involved in the options is said to be $22,100. MAAAARRAARS SIS Additional Locals Miss Anna Fisher returned to her home at Northome last night after a short yisit with friendsin Bemidji.
