An “old-fashoned Dutch lunch” was given by the local commercial club at the room in the Ramquist block Saturday night. Plates were laid for 125 persons, guests being present fron Bovey and the American Bridge com- pany. This is the third of similar entertainments that have been given, the object being to more closely cem- ent for commercial purposes the peo- ple of this vicinity. Business conditions and the coming international skee tournament. were the subjects of the after dinner dis- cussion, which was participated in by Mayor Provinski and City Attorney Bithner of Bovey; Charles Webster, superintendent of American Bridge company; Ed. Wiesner and Ole Man- The great force of men who have been erecting the new concentrating plant are still putting forth vigorous efforts to have the plant in readiness ‘to wash ore in the early spring. It is very urgent that the plant be in readiness to concentrate the Canisteo silicious ores when the 1910 shipping season opens, as the old experiment plant that has been doing test work since 1907 is completely dismantled, and timber and machinery put to other uses. The American Bridge company, which is erecting the new concen- trator, will soon start a crew of men erecting steel coal docks for the Oliver lron Mining company, the con- crete foundation being already set. The coal docks will be built at the mouth of the Canisteo mine, between the bridge of the Great Northern and Missabe railroads, and directly over the tracks of the Oliver Mining company’s works. This will enable their locomotives to coal up directly from the coal chutes without any ad- ditional labor, aside from starting the gravitation agoing. The exceptionally mild weather of the past two weeks, has been very favorable for the various _ building operations going on in this vicinity. Much work has been ccoamplished, which under normal December weath- er would have been postponed until japring. Contractor J. R. Quigley & Son, have a large force of men rushing work on the new $14,000 chemical! laboratory and sample crushing house which is being erected on Gayley avenue, one block north from the First National bank. It is ex- pected to have the laboratory com- pleted before the first of February. The laboratory proper will be a story and a half in height with a ‘pasement for stor rooms; 58 feet wide by 70 feet long. The ventilat- ing stacks will be fireproof material of steel and asbestos timber. When completed, the new “lab” will be equipped with all modern appliances and patents now new to the chemical and scientific departments. Late elec- trical patents for analysis and heating purposes will be installed. Work on the new Carnegie library is rapidly progressing. A. J. Thomas has the contract and has concrete foundation and Bedford stone work Neighborhood News Clipped or Condensed From Exchanges for the Benefit of Herala-Review Readers the school entertainment course Thursday evening, December 16. Mr. Wickerscham. is greatly appre ciated in the Canisteo district, and a large crowd is awaiting him. The A. M. Murnik block which met with destruction in the young tornado which struck Coleraine 60 days ago, is almost completely erected again. The Coleraine Dry Goods company is beginning to place its large stock of goods on ground floor, where one of the most com- plete dry goods houses on the range will be established. The second story will be used as a fraternity hall and various lodges are planning on being in their new quar- ters by December 20. The Murnik block is one of the hand somest in Itasca county and is a credit to Coleraine. | ae ee ee ee ee ee a NASHWAUK. Ss te ts ta ee te ts ee The whereabouts of one Dan Me- {Cullough, who at one time claimed Duluth as his headquarters, is much wanted by} the members of the Nash- wauk Athletic club and any informa- tion leading to the present residence of Mr. McCullough will be greatly ap- preciated ‘by the members of the club. McCullough was secured by the club, as a second part to a friendly fistic exhibition to take place at Nash wauk with Scraps Costello as the other party. The bout was to take place several days ago, but McCul- lough failed to put in his appearance Costello has been in the village com- pleting his training for the go, which Was to be a fight to a finish in a 24- foot ring or a washtub. The mem- bers of the club are still waiting for McCullough, but they have concluded that he has become stricken with frigid pedals, otherwise known as cold feet. If McCuljough would so inform the secretary of the club,‘the bout could be called off and another party secured for the bout. _Considerable work is being done by Nashwauk on the water system for the village. A new pump has been purchased by the council and this! will be installed in the old well, it having been) enlarged so as to get more water for cases of emergency The present supply of ‘water is suf- ficient for the needs of the village at the! present time, but it was thought that the water coming from the old well was) not enough to meet a fire of any extent that may occur. The cost of the new work will be in the neighborhood of $3,000. The shipping of ore from this dis-| trict, which was resumed during the| week, will within the next few days be discontinued for the season of 1909.

Not a bit of switching has been done in Nashwauk since Thursday and no freight has been received at Great Northern station. Both merchants and consumers are worried for the only goods coming into town are brought by express and this is so expensive that the prices to the consumer will have to be raised and the merchants also ex- pect that with a raise in prices their trade will correspondingly decrease. The Epworth League of the Nash- wauk M. E. church has earned $60 which will be used to place a mem- oriai window in the new church building. By the energy of the young people the entire amount was secur- ed in one night. An entertainment was given in the town hall and after some time had been spent playing games and in other social ways, baskets containing suppers were auc- tioned to the highest bidders. Re- alizing for purpose the proceeds were to be used the bidders did not stint themselves in paying fancy sums for baskets which appeared attract- ive. About 150 men will be employed completed, and the superstructure well under way. L. B. Wickersham, the noted lect- urer, will appear at the Greenway auditorium in the third number of here during the winter on the work of stripping the Crosby mime of its overburden.

The members of the state railroad ed by President Louis Hili of the Great Northern came here on a specia train yesterday to. offisally inspect the Nashwauk-Grand Rapids exten- sion of the line. ? They came unto the extension in the morning at Gunn Junction near Grand Rapids, and proceeded this way via Coleraine, Bovey, Marble and othher points going on ko Hibbing. The officers pronounce the road a fine piece of work and made the usual order allowing the parent company to open it for passenger service next Monday. toordorcendeageateageesecsecgendendencendteesgeedesdonterdontotnte MARBLE ; Woostondectendeateesee son toodondontectoeteetoetecsectectontestentntee: The report that there is an epide- mic of diphtheria here is a mistake.

Will Manufacture 3,000,000: Brick at Feeley During Next Season. Some two months ago Carlson Bros. of Superior, visited Feeley for the Purpose of ‘examining the ground from which speciments of clay had been procured, which proved to be of a first-class nature for the manu- facture of a high grade of brick. Re- cently they purchased a tract of land there and now have a force of men clearing off the timber and brush and as ‘soon as the weather will permit next spring they will begin opera- tions on a large scale. The old style of spreading the raw brick on the ground to be sun dried is done away with, the new idea be- ing to place them in large dry houses entirely protected from rain, where they are seasoned sufficiently by heat to be handled and placed in the kilns. The buildings and machinery will cost not less than $30,000 to start With, and at least 3,000,000 brick will be manufactured next season, besides further improvements will be made during the coming season. Three thousand cords of wood will be gotten out during the winter to be used im the huge kilns.
