All reports show tuat the committees have faithfully per.ormed their du ies, and although tne efforts and labors Lave ben Sstu- peadous, the re ult wi.l be one of tae most successful tournaments ever piled off anywaere. The entertain.ent and reception committees have wade a canvas of both Bovey and Col:raine ad se- cord rooms aud boad in private homes that wi.l proviie ascommoda- tion, for a large uumber after the ‘hotels are filled up. A large num- ber of cots have also been received Bud n@ ove ned fear that trey will mot bo cared for.

A large number from Grand ev ning. A large number from Granc Rapids ara planning to be present for the contest. The shows will pro- vide entertainment for those who have no inclination to witness the boxing match. The hill committee reported that the new steel slide is in fine condi- tion and covered with snow scraped from the ice on Trout jake at the foot of the slide. The slide is de- clared to be wonderful, in fact awe- inspiring, the general opinion being that no amount of money would in- duce an ordi ary ‘mortal to risk his reck in descending it on a pair of skis at a rate of speed which will pracRtcally jbe 100 miles per hour. Seventy-eight ski riders have al- ready entered their names and there are yet seven leading ski clubs to be h ard from who will send delegates. There will be representatives from c'ubs who have never before entered a rider at a national tournament. All the way from Ilion, N. Y., comes a little fellow, Hams Anderson by name, who will compete for the hand- some Nor trophy cup and attempt to wrest it fron Barney Riley, of Cole- raine, pre-ert amateur champion of the United States. There will also be 6 representatives from the first kingdcwi of the ski, at Utica, N. Y. C-ao wil be represented by three different clubs, the Nor club, the Nore club and tre .iorgan Park ski club, and each club from Chicago wil) have a large folowing. The Nor elyb: is somposed of p°ofess‘onal men who further the sport for the sport’s sace only, and they will attend in full membership ia a private car, on which they will live from the time it leaves Chicago, Thursday evening, until their return. Several other private cars will also be in attendance, bringing delegations from Dul:ti, Su»erior, Minneapolis and St. Paul. Word has been received that Duluth bus‘ness men are arrang- ing for special trains to leave Duluth Sunday morning and return at the conclusion of the tournament. The Itasca ski club has chartered a special train from the Great North- ern to run over the Grand Rapids ex- tens‘on, which will leave Virginia Sunday morning at 8:30 o’clock, ar- riving at Coleraine at 10:30. The same train will come to Grand Ra- pd., turn around and leave here at 1. o’clo-k, p. m., returning to Coleraine. This will give Grand Rapids’ enthus- iasts ample opportunity to witness; all the principal events. On the re- turn trip, the specia) will leave Cole- raine at 6 o’clock, p. m., for Grand Rapids and on its return to Cole- raine it will leave for Virginia at 7:30.

The Jand to be thrown open contains abouts0,000 acres. This tract was fermeriy embraced in the Minnesota forest reserve, but the timber or a majority of it has been cut. The land was to have been thrown open for setulement over a y@aur ago but the interior department asked for a postponment in order to give the Indians ample opportunity 4 make entry on the withdrawn section Again in September another stay of! six months wes requested. The Indian department has now conclud- ed it will be usless to attempt to longer induce the Indians allottees to change thcir locations and has so informed the Interior department. While it is expected the opening for the filing will be made the lat- ter part of March, the exact date has not been given out, but private information is obtained to the ef- fect that March 21 will be the date. A majority of this land lies near Deer River and its settlement will do much towards assisting in the d~- velopmert of the county. This tract contains ma>y choice homes of 160 acres each and the’ Soil is excel- lent for both farming and grazine. Althouch the pine has been removed the lands are rich in hardwood, posts, voles, piling, pulp, ties and stove timbers and there is a readv market for all these proudcts.
