A contract was let Thursday for the west extension of the Duluth Mesaba & Northern railway from Alborn station on the mainline to the Canisteo mines, located in the western; extension of the Mesaba range 1n 56-24, thus making practical- | ly a newline fur Duluth,» Work will be started on the construction at once and prosecuted ay rapidly as possible, the aim being to’ have it completed some timé next spring. The entire length of the line will H be approximately 55 miles andthe ccutact. has been ivided into five sections... The first section, leading from Alborn northwest. a distance of 15 miles, was awarded to the Drake & Stratton company; the second, from miles 15 to 34, was awarded to Runquist & Wittier; the other three sections, from 34 no the west. end of the branch, or a distance of 21 miles, was awarded to Wiuton Brothers company and C. Wurdenhoff. This branch is built to afford rail- way facilities to the west end of the Mesaba range, which has been devel- oped by active exploration during the past five years. The peculiar feature of myst of the ore in this district is Uhabitis mixed with sand and will require concentration by water, or otherwi Extensive operations in this di > Will not be possible un il the failway is compieted.. A consid erable “portion of the territory through which this line passes con- sists of’ muskeg swamp, similar to that found on the east end of the range, but a goodly part contains hardwood and excellent soil. The first fifteen miles from Alborn, vorth- west, will compare favorably with the}farming lands of this district, and will undoubtedly open up a terri- tory between the Mesaba main line and the Eastern Minuesota railway. The line, as Jocated, will cross the Hastern Minnesota overhead near Albory and wii bave a grade crossing with that road on thelr ie béEween Swan River and Hibbing. This grade crossing will be located a short distance short of Stewart station, During the t five years a large amount of exploration has been done in township 56, Range 24, Itasca county, which has resuited in show- ing up a deposit of iron ore larger than any other yet discovered on the Mesaba range outside of the Hibbing district. The Oliver Iron Mining company, asubsidary company. of the United States Steel corporatioy, now controls practically all the merchant- able ore in this new district, with the exception of one or two properties now under exploration. The Oliver company first. purchased the fee of wiat is known as therDiamond lands covering over 1,000 acres upon which there are s 1 deposits, probably the most important of which is located a mile west of the village of Bovey. Later the same-company acquired a lease cf the Arcturus property, whieh, though only partially explored, is be lieved to cuntain quite a body of ore. 1 Next it acquired the entire holdings of the Canisteo Mising company, which in connection with the Grand Rapids Expicration company — has done more than four-fifths of ail tbe recent exploration work in that region. Later still the Oliver com- pany tovk exploring options upon what is known as the Brown and Morrison lands, the Lewis claim, the Buckeye property, the Buckman and Lind property, several state leases and some individual properties, upou allot which it is new exploriug so that the United States Steel corpora- tion, through the Oliver, Iron Mining company controls at least uine-tenths of all the merchantable ore in this important new district. The ore in this region is more than half Bessmer and about one quarter of it is merchantable in its natural’ state, The balance will be screened or washed, yielding a product most desirable for furnace use. It is the intsotion of the Oliyer company to sbip over two million tons per year from this district. John C, Greenway will have charge of the Oliver company’s mining opera- tious in this district. ~ ‘pe Duluth Mesabe & Northern is doing considerable double track work | this year.

FLAG DAY Tn a cercular letter sent aut to local posts of the G. A. R. Depsebnient, Commander @. ¥. Mepouald, of St.’ Cloud, says in part: “Wednesday, June 14th, is Flag Day, set apart by State and Nation as an occasion when the Star Spangled Bauvar, for which so many of our comrades died. shali be given special honor. It is the one flag in all the world which represents a yovernment of the people, by the people, for the people.” All honor, then, to “Old ' Glory.” Let it be flung tu the breeze on Flag Day upon every flag staff, and displayed upon residences, sehool houses, business blocks, public build- ings, and wherever it can be exhibit- ed. In every community, Post Com- manders should call the attention of the public through the bewspapers to the significance of the day, and ask that there be a general display of flags. Flag day has been designated by the proclamation of the Governor of the State as a most appropriate occasion for the removal from the old to the new Capitol of the State of the Battle Flags carried by Minnesota Regiments in the Civil War. GROWTH Is ALL IN NORTH MINNESOTA A decrease in the population of southern Minnesota and remarkable increase in the northern counties were brought out today by the first census returns received by the state census bureau. Complete returns were ‘received from uine enumeration districts, five in the northern part of Minnesota, one in the central portion’ and three in southern *Minnesota, The three lat- ter districts showed a decrease in population since 1900, whereas the otber showed an inorease from ten to fifteen per ceat. 4 “I wi'l venture the prediction that 75 per cent of the districts in south- ern Minnesota will show a decrease in population from 1900,” said George F, Wright, supervisor of the census. The populativn of the state is shifting northward. Many of the old settled portions of southern Minnesota are bound to show a fall- tag pif. ‘This does not mean, however, that the population in the entire state has decreased. The total increase in the nine district reported today is eight per cent, and if this increase is kept up all over the state the ins» crease in population will be 320,1]1 making the total population 1,711,505, It is expected that the increase will be greater than this. Many of the new counties in northern Minnesota will show 100 per cent increase and heavy gains are expected in Duluth St. Paul and Minneapolis. Partial reports show that the in- crease will be great in Itasca, St. Louis, Aitkin, Carlton and the north- ern tier of counties. DISTRICT COURT Judge W. S. McClahanan and Stenographer Moody, arrived on schedule time and opened court on ‘Tuesday.

Napoleon St. Peter and family have moved here from up the river and are topping at the Hawley residence. The improvements being done by Skelly Bros. to the rear of their village property, including the Pioneer Hotel is a credit to the village and could be followed by others to considerable . advantage. Fred Herried Sr. of North Minp., called on his son, H. H. Her- ried here Friday on his way to Deer . River ‘or the purpose of. entertaining a sale of two lots purchased at the’ latter place last winter. It appears the lots have raised in value. Henry Carner has a minnow trap. By an adjustment of the contraption it can be so fixed as to admit of any size of minnow or insects, not exceed- ing % inch in diameter, evening he adjusted the affair to its insect size and set it carelessly under his bed.

Asactors the pupils went through with the var- ious characters assigned them and much credit is due the teachers, Miss Dunn and Miss Crates as trainers for the occasion. Chas Brown and Jimmy Crawiord went to Bemidji the first of the week, and as the story goes, about the time of their arrival, a game of craps was in full blast at Bemidj' and there were also some 50 or 60 others in the game. However, about 5 p. m. telegraphic communication between here and the scene of “seben cum eleben” was put in operation and credit of $12 was wired to Bemidji. Anyway, Chas and James got back here and ordinary smear for beer is plenty amusement for the venture- some lads for a while, Carl Nelson put on two screen doors at the main entrance of the Bass Brook hotel this week, and short~ ly after the usual village galoot with the bunch of scrutinizeness fully de- veloped, had found that the doors were put on upside down, Carl did not do a thing but take off the inner doors and put them on up- side down to match the outer docrs and then proceeded to mp up the office desk and some other fixables in order that they should undergo the upside down operation likewise, He was finally called to account by his brother John and he therewith de- sisted from further damage.
