Important Election Tuesday---The
Old st. Louis Dalles Story.

Old ST. Louis Dalles Story.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, March Ion Tuesday
next will occur the important election
to see whether st. Louis county
will authorize the county, commits
sioners to issue S150,000, as that may
be needed for the purpose of building
county roads. The country around Du-
luth has remained comparatively unset
tied thus far, owing almost solely to the
fact that the building of suitable road
WAYS. 1t has not only been neglected,
but ignored altogether. 1t is not thought
there will be any opposition at all to
the scheme. still it would be well for
voters to come out in anticipation OF
any possible objection which may pre-
sent itself.
THE ST. LOUIS DALLES.
The story, oft repeated, but now COM
Ing from Minneapolis, to the effect that
arrangements are being made by Jay
Cook and others for the expenditure OF
S4OO, 900 on the improvement of the st.
Iouis DalleS, is not given much credit
in Duluth, although, Of course, all Du-
luthians would be glad to believe 1t. 1t
is impossible to get any information
about the matter here, and if the scheme
is under way outsiders must be the con-
trolling power.
