Rainy Lake Herald Has Another Railroad Project in Mind. The Rainy Lake Herald, in its last issue went into the business of railroad buildmg, a pastime that is popular with most all of the papers in the country north. of here and all sections, in fact, that are without railroad facili- ties. Toacommunity that has no railroad there is a deliciousness in the thought of the advent of one that makes the editor of the town paper, in almost every case, a great railroad builder on paper. Some time 2go the papers in the Rainy Lake country had the Great Northern railroad built to Koochiching, to give the same rail- road of which the Rainy Lake Herald speaks, its connection with the United States. ‘The Herald says: “The Herald has received private information from the highest authority in Duluth, that the Duluth & lon Range road will be extended early next year to connect with the Ont. & R_R. railway, now under construc tion, along the Canadian boundary. “Just where the terminus will be 1s not yet decided on, but the new road will run from Tower northwest to the Ramy river, probably Koochiching, where direct connection will be made with the Ont. & R. R. railway. ‘This move on the part of Mackenzie & Mann is said to have been made in order that they may have a through line from Manitoba to Duluth, over which they will carry out a large pro- portion of the next season’s wheat crop. With an independent ouilet, and under the same management, ireight rates will be apt to take a tumble, as the new line, having the advantage of many connections by water and rail, will be im a position to offer exceptional facilities to shippers. “The Herald’s informant is also au- thority for the statement that Mac- | kenzie & Mann will build this end of the line themselves, and have running powers over that portion from Tower, to Duluth. As the Duluth & Iron Range people are in the railway business forthe purpose of carrying freight and passengers, it 1s not likely that arrangements will be made where- ; by Mackenzie & Menn will take that | part off their hands. “The news of this extension will be appreciated by the people of this dis- trict, for with direct communication to Duluth and West Superior, a large field, will be opened up to the whole- sale houses and jobbers of these cities. It wili also bring this district within a few hours ride of 20,000,000 of peo- ple, and put us on equal footing with places having the same advantage and give us the benefits of the markets of the world.” If the Duluth & Iron Range rail- road has any such intention it is not made public. It is true that the con- nection could be built at compara- tively small cost. There would be only about forty miles to construct, and that through a fairly good coun- try. Itistrue, also, that the Mac- kenzie & Mann railroad will probably wanta connection with Duluth, and in that way with all the Northwest in the United States.” It might want this connection for the purpose of di- recting traffic to Port Arthur, and would also get considerable going to the Canadian northwest. It is not probable that such a connection would result in any very great increase in the amount of business coming in here. 1t would not bring very much grain in here, although at times the receipts might be increased It would undoubtedly be of great value to the business of the city, increasing the wholesale and other business very much.—Duluth Herald. Cohassett Booming Joseph St. Pierre and I, C. Thomas of Cohasstt are in town today. They inform us that there will be another band and shingle mill at that hustling burg. The name of the new concern is O’Brien & Akeley, whose head- quarters are at West Superior, Be- sides sawing pine lumber and shingles they will manufacture a great deal of hardwood timber, they having bought large tracts of this material. ‘This will make three mills at Cohassett, those of W. G. Moore and Dunn & Mar- cia being the others, ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY. J. B. Scott, Timekeeper for Backus-Brooks Company Makes Complaint. On Thursday of this week Sheriff Tyndall and Marshal McCormick ar- rested Joseph Hill, Walter Wallace and Henry Johnson (the latter col- ored) on a warrant sworn out against the three by J. B. Scott in which it was alleged that the complainant had been robbed of about $60. Scott isa tite-keeper in the employ of the Backus-Brooks Lumber company. He caine to town and in company with the three men arrested he proceeded to get intoxicated. He was invited by his companions to take a walk across the Mississippi bridge totthe south side. The quartette strolled along the road back of Villa Scholas- tica until a secluded spot was reached wheu Clerk Scott, as the story ap- peared in municipal court, was geut- ly laid down among the shrubbery beneath the tall pines, and relieved ot his “wad.” But it was also devel- oped that Mr. Scott was unable to re- late where he was or what tuok place. The state was unable to tix the guilt of those arrested sufliciently strong to warrant Justice Barnard in hold- ing the men arrested to the grand jury. Lumber Mills Keep Up. A prominent shipper is quoted as saying he believes there will be no decline of prices next year, and pre- dicts a slight advance. He gives as his reaséns that timber lands will be swept this winter. Logss will be tak- en to mills that have hitherto been left in the woods as culls. This will have a tendency to increase the out- put of low grade stock, which was far short of the demand this season. The Duluth-Superior cut, for various reas- ons, will be increased. Four or tive mills willrun all winter. Stumpage has increased in price very materially; blocks that sold a year ago at $1.50 have sold during the summer at $3; blocks that sold at $3 have founda ready sale at $5, with practically all the medium and large sized blocks now controlled by a few heavy hold- ers. Wages have increased in the woods nearly 50 per cent, and at the mills fully 25 percent. It is practic- ally impossible to cut and market timber at less than present prices at the present cost of stumpage, and it is the universal opinion shat owners ot stumpage will not sell their hold- ings for less than present prices. The price of stuumpage and labor, coupled with the steady aud continuous de- mand, will keep lumber as well up as present prices for some time to come. Resolutions of Protest. At the meeting of B. F. Huson Post No. 140, G. A. R., held last evening resolutions were passed protesting against the action of the Eastern press in its attacks upon Admiral Dewey just because he made his bride a pres- ent of the house presented to fim by the American people as a token of ad- miration. Following is the resolution: Wuereas. this Grand Army Post recog- nizes in Admiral George Dewey u brave. chivalric Soldier, Sailor and Patriot; and WHEREAS, we remember with gratitude ‘and pride the great services he has rendered his country and the world in both the great Civil War and our late war with Spain; and WuakEAS, he has lately been attacked, slandered, insulted, ridiculed. sneered at and maligned by a large part of the press of this country so that his great sensi- tive heart is crushed and bleed- ing and almost broken; Now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that we the members of G. A. R. Post, No. 40. Grand Rapids, Minn., do hereby vigorously condemn the action of the press of this coun- try and allege that in our opin- ion such action isan exhibition of littleness, heartlessness and cruelty without a parallel in his- tory. And we hereby extend to Admiral George Dewey our heartfelt sympathy and affirm in him our greatest confidence ; and esteem. RESOLVED, that we cause these resolutions to be ae, upon the minutes of this Post and that a copy be given to the press for publica- tion. F. Maverre, Commander. H. 8. Huson, Adjutant. State Organizer Here. i Mrs Welch, of Minneapolis, state organizer of the Ladies of the Macca- bees, arrived in town yesterday an last evening attended a meeting of the local lodge which had prep.%ed ga very nice reception for her, Mrs. Welch says that she has organized twenty lodges since April. She com- plemeted the ladies of the order here on their thrift and apparent prosperity, and added that they had the finest regalia of any hive in the state. She leaves today for Cloquet. Fin OCctogenariun. On the Pokegama hotel register of Saturday last there appeared the name “John A. King, 83 years old today.” Mr. King, father of ex-County Au- ditor H. R. King, is still enjoymg excellent health and takes an active interest in all the affairs of men. He was a Republican 83 years ago, he says, and has never changed his mind and don’t intend to. ~ WEDDINGS OF A WEEK Rev. MacKenzie, John O’Brien and Nelson Charnley Married The Duluth News Tribune ot Thursday morning contains the follow- lug announcement: “Miss Myrtle Brooks of 421 Lake avenue North was} married to Rev. MacKenzie, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Larmore. N. D., last evening, at her home. Rev, T. H. Clennan of the First Presbyterian church, performed the ceremony. The newly married couple will leave today fo: their North Dakota home. Mr. MacKenzie was recently pastor of the Presbyterian church at Grand Rapids, Minn.” Rev. MacKenzie. during his three years residence here made many friends among all denominations and everyone will wish him joy in his new life. On Wednesday afternoon at Ben- son, this state, John O’Brien was married to Miss Ehzabeth Harris. The wedding took place at the home of the brid’s parents and was attended by only few of the contracting parties’ imends. Miss Harris is a_ well known and highly respected young lady at her native home, while Mr. O’Brien is one of our best known cruisers and lumberman. All thier friends—and they have legions—will wish them the happiness they are both so well fitted to enjoy. Mr. Nelson Charnley, of this town, and Miss Lena Paulson, of Duluth, were married at the last named city on Wednesday of last week. Mr. Charnley and Miss Paulson have both been residents of Grand Rapids for a number of years and have a host of friends. ‘These will all join the Her- atp-Review in wishing them a happy and prosperous life. Congratulations all around. To Open Soon. The new restaurant that W. J. Kelly is putting into the rear end of his sample room is fast nearing com- pletion and will be opened in about a week. James O’Brien, who has dur- ing the past year or so been chef at one of the best restaurants in Deer River, and previous to that time was connected with Al Haley’s famous establishment in Duluth, will have charge of the culinary department of the place. The fixtures are the work of N. W. Gillilan and are very neat. When the restaurant is all completed it will be one of the handsomest places in town, and with a man of Mr. O’Brien’s reputation and experience in the kitchen, the venture should be a success from the s'art. Thanksgiving Ball Itasca Hive No. 13, L. O. T. M. will entertain at Village hall on ‘Thanksgiving night, Thursday next, with a grand ball and supper. In- vitations have been issued and the indications are have as large a company present as the hall can conveniently accommo- date. The Grand Rapids orchestra will furnish the music, which isa guarantee that it will be first-class. ‘The members of the orchestra have been giving considerable attention to new music of late and they hope to give greater satisfaction than ever be- fore. The ladies will serve an ex- cellent supper under their personal supervisson. that the ladies will | NOTICE OF EXPIRATION OF RE- DEMPTION. STATE OF MINNESOTA, County of Itasca. ; ie To Albert H.
