TO EXTEND LINE | TO BOVEY Contract let Thursday for Construc- tion of Fifty:Five Miles of Road to the Canisteo Mines. 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 new line fur Duluth,» Work will be Started on the construction at once and prosecuted av rapidly as possible, the aim being to’have it completed some timé next spring. The entire length of the line will be approximately 55 miles and the ccntact. has been divided into five sections... The first section, leading from Alborn northwest. a distance of 15 miles, was awarded to the Drake & Stratton company; the second, fram miles 15 to 34, was awarded to Runquist & Wittier; the other three sections, from 34 no the west. end of the brduch, or a distance of 21 miles, was awarded to Winton 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. he peculiar feature of myst of the ore in this district is Uhabit is ‘mixed with sand and will require concentration by water, or otherwise, Extensive operations in this district will not be possible un il the tallway is completed... 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 parb contains hardwood aud excellent soil. The wef wl miles from Alboro, vorth- west, will compare favorably with thejfarming lands of this district, aud will undoubtedly open up a terri- tory between the Mesaba main line and the Eastern Minnesota railway. Theline, as located, will cross the Eastern Minuesvta overhead near Alborn and wlil bave agrade crossing with what road on the eon Swan River and Hibbing. This grade crossing will be located a | short distance short of Stewart station, Daring the past five years a large amount of exploration has been done in townsbip 56, Range 24, Itasca county, Which has resulted in show- ing upa 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 coutrols practically all the merchant- able ore 1n this new district, with the exception of one or two properties now under exploration. The Oliver company first purchased the fee of what is known as therDinmond lands covering over 1,000 acres upon: which there are several depusits, probably the most important of which is located a mile west of the village of Bovey. f Later the same-company acquired a lease cf the Arcturus property, which, though only partially explored, is be lieved to cuntain quite a body of ore. Next it acquired the entire holdings of the Canisteo Mining company, which in connection with the Graud Rapids Explcration company has dove more than four-fifths of all the recent exploration work in that region, Later stlll 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, upon allot which it is uow exploring so that the United States Steel corpora- tion, through the Oliver. Iron Mining company coutrols at least uine-tenths of all the merchantable ore in this important nc w district. The ore in this regiun is more than half Bessmer and about one quartet of. it is merchantable in its natural’ state, ‘Tne balance will be screened | or washed, yielding a product most |. desitable for furnace use. It is the intsntion of the Oliyer company to sbip-over two million tons per year from this district. z John C, Greenway will have charge of the Oliver company’s mining opera- tions in this district.” ‘Lhe Duluth Mesabe & Northern is doing considerable double track work this year.

FLAG DAY To a cercular letter sent out to local posts of the G. A. R. Department Commander C. k. Mepouald, of su! Cloud, says in part: “Wednesday, June 14th, is Flag ‘| Day, set apart by State and Nation as an occasion when the Star Spangled Gaunar, for which so many of our comrades died. shall 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, school houses, business blocks, public build- ings, dnd wherever it can be exhibit- ed. In every community, Post Com- manders should call the attention of the public through the newspapers to the significance of the day, and ask that Lhere 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 ceusus returns received by the state census bureau. Complete returns were ‘received from nine 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 AGRICULTUBAL SOCIETY MEETS The members of the Itasca County Agricultural Society held their an- nual meeting at the village recorders office on Saturday, June 3, 1905. Secretary Graffam presented his annual also a statement from the First State Bank showing the condi- tion of the finances of t#e society. Both the report and statement were accepted. The fulliwing named officers were then elected to serve for the ensuing year: President, A. W. Sischer; 1st [vice president, J. M. Eastwood; 2nd vice president, Michael Hagen; 3rd vice president, John Aiton; 4th vice presi- dent, F. J. J. Wilker; 5th vice presi- dent, Pat Kinney; secretary H. E. Graffam; treasurer, Chas. Aikin; trustees A. J. McGuire, Chas. Keaney, Neil Mulken, Morris O’Brien and T. S. Powers. By motion carried, the compensa- tion of the secretary was placed at $25.00 per year. The matter of making a state ex- hibit of Itasca county products ab the staté.fair was left to the trustees to arrange. Cohasset Cullings The recent arrival of the masquito is the affidavit of spring sufficient to show that its bluff will stick. Napoleon St. Peter and family have moved here from up the river and are topping at the Hawley residence. The improvements being done by population since 1900, whereas the otber showed an increase from ten to fifteen per ceat, s “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. |.“'Phe population of tbe state, is shifting northward. Many of the old settled portions of southern Minnesota are bound to show a fall- tag pit. '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 120,1]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.
