are eight large boxes elegantly furn-
lshed. The auditorium of the theatre
is 76 by 81 feet and 70 feet high. The
stage is IS by 76 feet and 70 feet high.
1t is grand theatre, worthy of New
York or Chicago.
Woodland Park is new addition to
Duluth. It is the best residence Dor
ton of the city. Leading bankers and
capitalists are building costly resi-
dences there. Work has been com
menced on a young ladies' seminary.
and when the structure is completed it
will cost 100000. A military school.
to cost nearly 100000, will also be
erected soon. It is only 20 minutes
ride from the Spaulding House to the
remote lots OF the Park, and the cleo
trio cars run every Is minutes. Wood
lawn Ave., the street upon which the
cars run, is well graded and lined with
beautiful maple trees it's entire length.
Lots can be had in Woodlawn Park at
very reasonable figures. Gil HARTLEY
is one of the original proprietors of
Woodlawn Park and he will be GLAD to
give any OF his Princeton friends, who
may wish to invest, pointers. Brain
erd people have invested heavily in
lots in Woodlawn Park. If had
money to invest I would plant every
dollar OF it in Woodlawn Park. Alas!
L am only a country editor, and al
though the spirit is willing nv pocket
book is not flush.
Duluth has several frst-class news
papers. The Tribune is the old stand
by. The Tribune is to Duluth what the
Pioneer Press is to St. Paul. r. G.
Mitchell, the founder of the Tribune, is
now engaged in the real estate bust
ness and is making money. The pres
emit proprietors of the paper are live
energetic men. On its editorial staff
is Ralph M. Mckenzie, formerly of
Anoka but more recently of Brainerd.
He is bright young man and writer
OF much ability. The Neavs, owned and
edited by ex-senator Tom Bowen, is
hourishing. Mr.. Bowen is fearless and
| independent and never hesitates to
strike blow for the right. I was glad
to learn that Tom and his paper were
appreciated by the Duluthians. The
versatile Ed. Barrett, formerly of Ait
kin and Saltwater, is local editor of
the Neaos. The Herald is also a live
paper, typical of Duluth. Duluth owes
much to it's geographical location, but
| 1t owes more to its newspapers.
Politics in Duluth are extremely quiet
just at present. However, I have
heard the names of several gentlemen
! mentioned in connection with the Re-
publican nomination for congress in the
Sixth district. They are G. G.. Hart
ley, Col. 9. H. Graves, Fl. G. Kendall,
John B. Sutphin, Hon. O. D. Kinney,
of Ely, and Senator Allen, of Cloquet.
OF the half dozen, Gil Hartley's chances
are the best. But Mr.. Hartley has not
| lntlmated to me that he was or would
be a candidate, and the probabilities
are he would not accept the nomination
if it were rendered him. Mr.. Hartley
is deeply immersed in business He
labors night and day to promote Du-
luth's interests as well as his own. In
common parlance he is a rustler from
way back. Hartley is one of the
brightest young men in the State and
he is popular here at home. One ad-
,for t1,of !,
other gentlemen mentioned, he is bet
ter known and has more personal
friends in the district outside of Duluth
than any of them. Hartley would run
like a race horse in his old legislative
district and in Cass, Aitkin and Itasca
| counties as we'll. Next to Mr.. Hartley,
Col. Graves is the strongest Duluth
man outside of Duluth. Mr.. Kinney,
of ELY, is an able man and made a
| splendid record in the last mongrel leg
islature, but he is not we'll enough
known outside of St. Louis county.
That prince of good fellows, ex-Mayor
John B. Sutphin, has host of friends
and admirers, and am of the opinion
that if he should want the ST. Louis
county delegation he could get it.
Hartley and Sutphin generally pull to-
gether, and if either of them is a can
didate he will be heartily supported by
the other. Col. Graves has laid very
low since the expiration of his term as
speaker of the house and always man
| ages to get out of town when there is
any political work to be done. But he
is sly, devilish sly, and makes no move
without purpose. Everybody con
cedes the colonel's ability, and there is
no doubt but what he would represent
Duluth and the district ably in con-
gress. If the warfare between the
factions wakes hot he might slip in.
Senator Allen-well, his name is men
toned occasionally, and that is all.
He is not of the right dimensions for a
congressman. Representative Kendall
has elements of strength and strong
personal following, but he would be a
weak candidate outside of Duluth.
There is a potent factor in ST. Cloud,
however, which they are all counting
on, namely, Hon. Frank e. Searle.
The Republicans of the Sixth district
must settle their differences in the
nominating convention, and the winner
must have the hearty support of all the
defeated candidates, that is, if the Re-
publicans expect to elect their man.
