WANY NEW BUILDINGS WILL 60 UP Town Is On The Boom and Pros- pects Are Good for a Substanti- al and Permanent Increase In Population. Without a doubt, Keewatin will be the busiest village on the range this summer. The St. Paul mine, which is yet a stripping job, opened up Monday to continue the work of getting the mine in readiness for mext year’s shipping and is employ- ing about 400 men. Corrigan & Mc- Kinney own the property and Supt. Edward Cochran has charge of the work. At present three shovels are used im the stripping operations. Work at the Mississippi mine is in full blast and about 250 men are employed. It is rumored that some extensive shipping will be done this season. The Bray mine, it is stated will ,not operate the open pit this year to any great extent, while the ex- tent of their shaft operations are not known. New Buildings. new quarters the latter part of the week.

This will certainly be good news to auto driv- ers and the new road will undoubted- ly be heavily travelled. Sewer Soon Completed. + Keewatin will soon be one of the most sanitary villages on the range. There dre only two blocks of the village sewer uncompleted and it will only be a short time until the! work is finished.

There is good reason to believe | that Keewatin will have the fastest | team on the range this year. Ed. | Cochran, superintendent of the St. Paul mine, is manager of the asso- ciation and he states there is plenty of good material for a fast nine. There are two old league pitchers employed in the mines, Hole, who was formerly a twirler in the Mich- igan state league and who also pitch- ; ed phenominal ball for Stevenson two The board of directors of school district No. 9 are planning on adding @ six room addition to the Keewatin schoo] building to cost in the neigh- borhood of $20,000.. The school, at present, is in a very crowded condi- ‘tion and with the opening of the fall term it is expected there will be about 350 pupils, or nearly double the present number, in attendance. Jos. Flowers, of Hibbing, will shortly commence the erection of a two story brick business building at the corner of First street and Fourth avenue. - Gust Johnson will also commence the erection of a two story brick business block in a short time. It will be located at the corner of First street and Third avenue. Conte & Jackson have erected a store building to house their and provision business and new grocery it is thought they will be in their years ago, and Brown, who was form- erly a slab artist in the Copper country league. In addition to these there are several other old league! players for the infield and, as the old team is’ still here, there will be no dearth of material. The Keewatin basket ball ‘ward C.

The membership of the executive committee who were on the ground have abandoned hope of passing any this morning to visit her sister for and have no greater hope for an ex- tra session, feeling that with the same men in the senate, without giv- ing public opinion a chance to make itself felt, nothing would be gained.

SPECIAL MEETING OF COMMISSIONERS Board Met to Examine Applications From Settlers for Free Grass Seed. A special meeting of the board of county commissioners was held Saturday to act on the bonds given by C. R. McLain, who secured the contract for building the retaining wall at the rear of the court house grounds and to also examine the applications for free grass seed. Mr. McLain’s bond was found to be satisfactory and it was approved. Out of the total number of applica- tions for free grass seeds, fifty- five were approved. These seeds are furnished free of charge by the state to destitute settlers whose lands were burned over in the for- est fires of last year. The board granted three petitions for abatement of taxes and ordered @ survey made of section 19, 56-26. The next meeting of the board will be held May 4. ROBERTS AND PLATT MINES TO OPEN UP Two Nashwauk Properties Will Op- erate the Coming Season, Is the Report. On good authority it is said that the Roberts and Platt mines will open up the present summer. Both properties are stripping propositions and work of removing the overbur- den will be commenced as soon as the frost leaves the ground. The Roberts mine is located near the old cemetery s te and the Platt mine adjoins the sby. The opening of two more ©) 12s means much to the village as ‘.« work of stripping these Properti-s ill give employment to hunédrecs «4 men.

MANY WILL ARRIVE THIS SPRING Reishus-Remer Land Company Re- ports There Is An Increasing Tide of Immigration Towards Itasca County. Although it is hardly noticable on the surface, there has been a great influx of settlers to Itasca county this spring and the number is stead- ily increasing. Particularly, Grand Rapids has received many who have purchased lands and have settled in he immediate vicinity. The Reish- s-Remer Land Co. lowing new arrivals: Petcr Peterson, who arrived here two weeks ago from Litchfield, has erected a six room ‘house and a barn, t reports the fol- residents of | **82 feet, on his farm in section 6, on Shoal lake. In addition to four good work horses and a large quanti- ty of farm machinery, Mr. Peterson brought with him ten head of Short Horn cattle. A. W. Zeigler is another Litchfield farmer who will farm in Itasca coun- ty. He purchased an eighty in sec- tion 7 and will have his farm build- ings completed in a few days. He expetcs to move his family here the first of the coming week. W. T. Sherman, of Mapleton, has purchased a 160 acre farm in section 32 on the east side of Shoal lake and arrived here last week with two ear loads of horses, cattle and farm machinery. He has eight milch cows, all of Guernsey breed and will un- doubtedly prove a good patron of the new creamery. In addition to his own farm he has rented the McCorm- ick farm, of 200 acres, which adjoins his, and will live there until he builds, which will be late the com- ing fall. C. B. and W. E. Newton, are two Iowa farmers, coming here from Val- ley Jct., a suburb of Des Moines, who purchased 80 acres, each, in Bass Lake township. W. E. Newton has his farm buildings erected now, while the crew is working on the resi- idence of his brother, C. B, Newton. They are located on the west side of Shoal lake. Two men from Good Thunder; whose names we have not learned, have purchased land in section 36 and expect to move here shortly. Albert Ranger has purchased a piece of land in section 12 and will move on it this spring. Harold M. Sunstad and H. R. Morin, both of Coleraine, have purchased land in section 7, town of Trout lake, on the west side of the lake and are employed at Coleraine and will con- tinue their work, as it is only @ short walk to the village. | There is a steady stream of set- tlers coming to northeastern Minne- sota and particularly Itasca county and while the movement is yet un- jnoticable, except to real estate deal- jers, it will not be long ere Itasca county wakes up to the fact that it is one of the most important coun- ties, agriculturally as well as other- wise, in the state. “Dad” Takes the Central. “Dad” Hanvill, who had charge of the Boston Grand restaurant for a year or more before leaving last fall for Eastern Canada, has returned to Grand Rapids and will assume charge of the Central cafe, in the Tyndall block on Third street. “Dad” is one of the best caterers in the northwest and under his management the Cen- tral will be the most popular eating house in Grand Rapids.
