A Weyerhauscr NKiil.

This great numbering concern OF
which we have had much to say i'll the
past, is again knocking at our doors fol
| admittance. On two or three occa
sions this company has tried to locate
! itself at this end of the city, but with
/ out avail 1t wobld now seem by
what the Evening Telegram has t.
say, that the company will try what il
/ can do at getting grounds at the West
End. David Dobie, speaking OF thi:
company to a Telegram reporter, says
They want mill at this point viii
dock facilities SO as TO ship lumber
east via the lakes.
The eyerhauserS now own 400,
COO, 0OO feet of lumber at the Black
river and on the Nemadji river. Some
of this they are cutting and getting
into the st. CrOlN river. Ii they build
a mill here this VIII all be sawed i'll
Superior, but if they do not, | expect
to see them build logging railroad
west from the vicinity of Gordon to
the st CroiX river, and run all their
logs down To the Mississippi to III Il
mills on that river. Then there is an
other point to be considered. If these
logs go down the Mississippi the
county can collect no taxes on them,
whereas ii they are sawed here 1t Will
be the means of bringing a large reve-
nue.. Then, again, it the WeyerhauS-
ers put III a mill here they Will buy up
all the pine they can get along the
north and south shores, and probably
increase their holdings to 1000, 900, 0Oo
fe, t, an amount sufficient to keep a
large Sa.w mill running for fifteen or
twenty years.
AS said before Mr.. eyerhauSer
recognizes the advantages at this
point, and it would require very little
effort to bring him here. He was, IN
fact, up here last spring, and endea-
vored to get location near the mouth
of the Nemadjl river, but the price
asked for the land was too high. If
this large concern should come here. it
would be the means Of drawing Il
large number of smaller concerns
here. 1t tell you our people cannot
make the effort any too soon, and ]
am confident that they would be sue
! ceSSful.
If our West End neighbOrs think
this plant is worth trying for. how is
it that our own people toss it over
their shoulder as they would peanut
SHELF If it would require but very
little effort to get Mr. Weyerhausel
to locate at the West End, where he
really does not want to 90, how is it
our people cannot get him here on the
Nemadji river, just where he wants to
lOcates There is an African III the
woodpile Who can discover him?
1t has just transpired that the
oily of the suicide Stockdahl. who
hung himself in the lookup at the
West End "a short time ago was not
buried to become food for worms, but
found its way into the desecting room
to become food for the science of
medicine 1t is now recalled to mem
orv that the relative sent on here from
Chicago to pay the bills and take away
the body got drunk, report said, spen:
all his money and went away leaving
the bills unpaid and the body to be
buried at public expense. This story
created some comment at the time,
but as it was only suicide and q
poor old stranger, the whole mat
ter had been forgotten within Il week
and has only been revived this week
by the leaking out of some facts con
neced with the case. Of course no
thing can be CLEANED from the doctors
Some one telegraphed the dead mans
friends, and HE wife is expected TO ;ir
rive here today, Friday, but whether ;
/ thorough investigation Will be insti
/ tated OF not remains to be seen.
