The season of ore production at the- Itasca and St. Louis county mines is expected to begin this week or early next According to the mining concerns it will break all records. Men are flocking to the mining districts by thousands. It is esti- mated that the pay roll will amoun to $60,000 a day when the opera- tions are in full blast. Preparations for a heavy busi* ness have been going on all win-| ter. New rolling. stock has been received by the ore roads, and im- provements looking toward more rapid handling of the tonnage made at the docks and mines.

It was pro- posed to put on a through train be- ginning last Monday, leaving here in the morning and returning in the afternoon,- which would make it possible to spend a few hours in the Zenith city and get home about 8 p. m. The change involved an alteration in the schedule of the Merry Wi- dow train, which was to run through the Canisteo villages to Hibbing and return. The Virginia commercial club, it is said, entered | objection because that city was cut out, which may have had its effect in causing delay. According to persons informed there is disagreement at the gen- eral office of the company over making the change because it in- volves additional expenditure. If the improved service be de- nied it will be a serious disappoint- ment to those who for several years have been demanding improvement in the schedule into and out of Grand Rapids and other villages in Itasca country, God bless you all and long spare you to do good where sadness and | sorrow is.
