Hill might become active in opposition to this measure and thus prevent its passage at this session of congress, but the opposition did not materialize. The new road will run from the twin cities to Winnipeg by way of Anoka, crossing the Eastern Minnesota at Mora, and along the eastern shore of Mille Laes lake to Aitken, where it will cross the Northern Pacific line. The r will then run to Grand Rapids, crogs- ing the Fosston branch of the Eastern. Minnesota and then to Beaudette, 6n Rainy Lake river, about 320 miles, where it wiil connect with the Canadian Northern line for Winhi- peg, 156 ‘miles. The road will also run from a poipt near Anoka via Rush City, to Superior, Wis. Most of the right of way to Superior has been secured, as has the 100 miles 6n the Beaudette line. At Superior ali the necessary dockage rights ‘haye been secured, and terminal righ have been arranged for at Minne- apolis, Superior, Anoka and Aitkia. Duluth will be reached over a line already built. The M., S., St. BP. & W. will afford the Canadian Northern ‘| an entrance into the twin elties over as short a line as any now built to Winnipeg. ‘The Canadian Northern now has some 1.600 miles from Port Arthur west and is to build 500 miles this season. It is under contract to build to the Pacific coast io four years, and when completed, ‘with the M.,S., St. P. & W., will give the twin cities a new and independent outlet to the coast. The new line will be the shortest to Anoka, 5 miles; Mora, 32-miles; Aitkin, 39 miles; Grant Rapids, 95 miles. The promoters of the new line believe that Mille Lacs Lake, the finest deep water lake in Minnesota, will be made a summer resort. Grading will commence shortly on several parts of the line and itis designed to build about 125 miles this year as well as the bridge at Anoka.—Minneapolis Jourral. LANDS FOR RESERVE Four Hundred Thousand Acres in Cook and Lake Counties. A letter has been received by the officials of the Duluth land office from Land Commissioner Herman, direct- ing them to withdraw from settle- ment, entry or any other form of disposition, certain townships and parts of townships in Cook and Lake counties, embracing in all 400,000 acres. This action is taken pending a determinatiun of the advisability of establishing what is to be known as ‘tthe Lake Superior forest reserve.” Nearly one-third of Lake county would be taken up by the reserve under the plan as proposed and a large portion of Cook county. The law providing for forest re- serves was passed in 1891. It gave the president power to select any public lands for that purpose. The argument in its favor was that it would preserve the forests, game, springs, etc. Commissioner Herman’s letter states that bonafide settlers will he given their rights, but it is a question with land attorneys whether eny who have squatted on lands would care to remain under the pro- posed arrangement. The land is not especially rich in timber, but it is well adapted to cattle ranching and farming. What are believed to be rich ‘mines ‘hidden underneath the surface will also be rendered inaccess- able. With 400,000 acres set aside by the United States government for a forest reserve and the state of Minne- sota coming into this territory fur a like number as indemnity for what it lost on Indian lands, the public tracts in Northern Minnesota will be prac- tically all taken.

The new concern will be known as the Lumbermen’s Bank business wil) be transacted, and will Ist. Koochiching has long felt the want of a banking institution and the new concern will be greatly appreci- uted by the citizens here. LIMIT IS RAISED on Registered Mail The local postoflice has received an order from the postmaster gencral which reads as follows: “On and after July 1 the indemnity that will be paid on domestic registered first class matter when lost will not ex- ceed $25 in any oneclass, in acordance with an act of congress.” The prev- ious limit was-$10. There has been a great misunder- Standing about indemnity payments covering lost registered mail. There has been a general impression that this was all that could be recovered in any case.~ But the fact is that if it can be shown that any postoffice employe is to blame for the loss he is obliged to pay the full value ofit. It is only in case of fire, wreck, or un- avoidable accidents where the blame cap not be fastened on anyone, that the indemuity limit comes into play. ‘Then, if the value of the article ex- ceeds the indemnity, the balance of the loss falls on the sender. In case of remittances exceeding the limit of $25 the sender may absolutely insure himself by dividing them into two or more parts, the only additional ex- pense being the extra registry fee. The risk of sending registered mail is very small. The statistics of the postoftice department show the total number of registered pieces handled in 1901 toZhave been 17,617,278. The total number of losses reported was 1,670, and of these 1,356 were recuvered or the full value was paid to the owner. Recovery was impossible in 314 cases. Out of this number 41 pieces were official mail, and 273 were lost by the public. Forty of these were left unsealed through the care- lessness of the senders. In 151 of these cases the indemnity of $10 was paid, and in the balance of 82 cases there was either no proof of loss or the cases are still under investigation, Paper Mill Improvements A. C. Bossard, of Grand Rapids, Minn., treasurer of the Itasca Paper company, whcse new paper mill was started early last spring, was in the cityeover lust evening, a guest of the Spalding, says the Duluth Herald. Mr. Bossard says the paper mill is ranning to, its full capacity to keep up with the demand. The company has not yet been hindered because of low water in the Mississippi river. The river has been quite high all the season on agcount of the frequent rains and the new dam at Grand Rapids has been an important factor in storing up water power for a steady run. Palp wood is found in plentiful quantities and is shipped in by rail from the surrounding country. The first year’s business of the paper com- pany is regarded as yery gratifying to the company and the chances are deemed even better for extensive im- provements in the way of added machinery, particularly anotner paper making machine, another season. The paper mill was built for two paper making machines, but only one was installed.
