Sites in the Rainy Lake Region

Duluth, Minn., March 21.-Those who
think the Rainy Lake district is boom
ing don't know what booming is. The
excitement cannot yet be said to have
begun. The heg ira to the north has thus
far benefited Rainy Lake City, a townsite
plated by Duluth parties. In a short
time Chicago, capitalists will plat a new
town little to the north and west of
Rainy Lake Ci1y, and the property will
be put on the market by lottery Other
new townsite schemes are On the tapiS,
some with merit and some without. Al
ready plat of a town at the mouth Of
Big Fork river, some twenty-eight miles
west of Rainy Lake City, has been sur
veyed and arrangements are being made
to put there saw mill at an early day.
This is well located to secure a fairly
large timber trade. and it is surrounded
by excellent farming lands. One syndi-
cate of lumbermen located in the Mime
apolis district hold title to miles of the
shore line Of Rainy river at this point
and arc interested in this town. At the
mouth of Little Fork river, fifteen miles
west of Rainy Lake City, another town
site is to be established.

Congress for the Money Necessary
for Surveys and Examination.

4 great deal Of interest has been aroused
of late In the revived project of a canal be-
tween the Mississippi river and the head
Of Lake Superior, connecting the Twin
Cities with the head Of the great lakes.
The matter has been agitated within the
past few weeks by q special committee OF
the st. Paul chamber of commerce, Of which
Mr.. James Suydam is chairman, and the
leading spirit He has been hard at work for
some time on the project, and is still busy
collecting facts and figures in connection
with the proposed route and the financial
possibilities of the scheme. Nothing def
mite as yet has been accomplished, though
Congressman Kiefer has before congress
bill asking for an appropriation Of $4,000
for the examination and survey for the loca-
ton Of such a canal, which is already
termed "Kiefer's ditch" Senator Washburn
has expressed himself as favoring the
scheme very much, in a letter written to
the chamber Of commerce. Ip this he points
out that in the last congress he had intro
duced item for a similar appropriation,
which was stricken out in the conference
committee, and in view Of the condition Of
the national treasury, does not express
great hope of succeeding any better this
time. The aid Of the board of trade in
Minneapolis has also been enlisted in push
ing the matter through. The St. Paul cham
ber Of commerce committee had confer
ence with similar committee from the
Minneapolis body, and the latter promised
the heartiest cooperation, and steps are
also being taken to enlist the Minneapolis
jobbers and manufacturers in efforts to Sc
cure the passage of Kiefer's bill. Senator
Washburn, when at home last week, prom
ised to do all he could, as did also Congress-
man Fletcher, and both Of them at that time
expressed themselves as ahopeful Of success,
notwithstanding the formers doubts as ex-

A Good Son Is This.

An interesting story Of flial devotion
is told of a Deering citizen who, as a
young man, followed the sea and visited
many foreign lands, settling down at
home some 80 years ago, never having
slept out Of his own house but 10 nights
since that time. During all these years
he has never failed every day to call at
the neighboring house of his aged par
ents in the early morning before going
to his work in Portland and On his re-
turn at night. He always finds his IA
ther and mother ready to greet him. He
always says Hello" in his CHEEKY voice,
and the old man replies, "We're here,
John" That is all, but 80 years of that
every day is vastly nor flial compan-
ionship than falls to the lot of most IA
theirs, and fortunate indeed is the moth
er whose fond heart never looks IN vain
