DCLUTII. Oct Elf anyone SuDpoSeS
that Duluth intends to sleep this winter
he wants TO step up here and examine
improvements contemplated. Contracts
were closed Yesterday for the driving OF
piles for the huge cold storage estab-
liShment to be erected at the head OF
Fifth avenue slip, and also for the i'm
mense coal docks at the head of the bay.
Real estate activity amounts almost to
boom. especially in West Duluth prop
erty, sales there exclusively. during the
week amounting to upwards of $780,
900 in unimDrOved lots and acres,
with the demand steadily increasing.
The Duluth, South Shore, Atlantic and
the Eastern Minnesota, new roads, both
announce the most gratifying result OF
their launch upon Duluth'S commercial
sea. The terminal system is beng
pushed, and no road is to he dlscrlil-
mated against, but the greatest possible
latitude and every facility offered all
seeking a share of the traffic seeking an
inlet or output through the port of Du-
Iuth. Five thousand people will find
direct and indirect employment through

offered sufficient TO keep the smoke
pouring from its stacks the first year, at
least, of its existence.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK
here, ten days ahead of the election. is
extremely difficult To analyZe or under
stand. At the Republican county
primaries the Kendall-Sutphin-Ha
element plead earnestly and honestly
for harmony. The Swanstrom-Allen-
Daily News Silk-stOckiGged and gilt
edged element captured the convention,
and appropriated all the Ot1iceS-even
to the distinctly honorary ones. Not
only this, but shortly after the cOnven-
ton the Daily News officially read Mr..
Hartley out of the Republican alto
gether. Of course 1t was all "harmOni-
GUS" because the machinery. commit
teemen, etc, were on the side of the
News. Now comes the tug of war. The
dudes have the nominations all right,
but it has been Sutphin, Kendall,
Hartley, Burke and their friends
who have heretofore secured
the votes. Naturally, they have
not beStiTred themselves more than Or
dinarily to help the gentlemen who by
accident are temporarily in the ascend
ency. True, Frank Burke will ride in
D1OCCSSlOu anu sing SOleS az Ct1it-
paign headquarters, but it is painfully
noticeable that he does not get out and
hustle among the boys as has been his
custom in the.paSt. And Mr.. Hartley'S
'preSS of private affairs" Mayor SUIT
phin'S official duties. and Mr.. KendalPS
horses command about all their time.
ItWaSn't so when st. Louis county rolled
up her majoritieS into the thousands.
Burke sang his songs then, but it was
out among the boys and not in commit
tee rooms: and Sutphin, Hartley, Ken
dali and the rest OF them managed to
find time to pull every political wire
and work every scheme in those days
that ready ingenuity could devise. They
may do it yet, but it is doubtful, and if
they do not, Republican state politicians
will look upon a beggarly three-fgured
majority from this county, instead of
the handsome 1000 relied upon. Dem
OcratS are not idle, nor are they dis
mayed at the outlook. They may be de-
fcated, but if they are they will en-
deayOr to make it by so slender a mar
gin as to rob it of its sting.
