The Band Stand for Capitol Park an As-
 sured Fact
 The city fathers have made a move, which judging from public expressions, has met with general commendation.
 As stated in the Age-Henald some time since Prof. Fred L. Grambs excellent brass band generously proposed to give free concerts in Capitol park, provided the city would make suitable arrange ments for their convenience, viz a band stand and lights.
 The concert of last Thursday night was a failure because of a lack of lights and many hundreds of people were aceord- ingly disappointed to say nothing of the discontinue Of Grambs band.
 But there will be no more disappoint- ments. The city fathers. in view of the fact that the band had proposed to give these concerts for the benefit of the rich and poor alike, and more especially the latter, have decided to put up the band stand, erect two arc lights near 1t, and place benches around the park. This will be hailed with pleasure, as there are hundreds of little children, to say noth- ing of the elder people, who will be bene- fted thereby.
 The city fathers will be amply re- warded for their generosity when they see the many smiling faces at the next concert Professor Grambs and his band will also receive a share of congra tula- tiOns for their part in the movement.

A Pleasant Trip That Cannot Be Excelled. 1t is usually the case when d traveller starts on journey, and especially for any distance, it is desirable to have the fewest changes, all the comforts of home life, and to be able to make the trip at as little expense as possible.
 In visiting Philadelphia, New York, Boston or any other important eastern cities it is believed that these comforts and pleasures can only be found by using the Plant system, via Montgomery and Thomasville to Savannah, thence by the superb steamers of the Ocean Steamship company to any of the cities above named.
 The Plant system runs fast double daily passenger trains from Montgomery to Savannah, carrying Pullman sleepers, free reclining chair cars and first-class day coaches
 Either one way or round trip excur sion rates as shown in tariff sheets from any of the leading cities of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana to any of the eastern cities will apply over the Plant system. through Savannah, and one great advantage the traveller has by using the route via Savannah is that all frst-class rates include meals and state room while on the steamer, thus avoiding the extra expense of sleeping car fare. which would have to be paid in addition to the ticket rate if other routes were selected.
 The Savannah line is free from heat and dust and in selecting your summer trip it is well to keep these facts in mind, and if any further information is de- sired communicate with Plant system officials, and tell them what you want to know.
 The Montgomery office of the Plant system is bureau of information" and all questions are cheerfully and promptly answered.

A Gross Error,

The Duluth & Iron Range Ry.
will extend it's line from Virgin
ia along the entire Mesaba range
to Mountain Iron. This IS a RI
val road to the Rockefeller line
and will have a strong influence
in lowering freight rates on that
range.-1ronwood Times
Evidently the Times man does
not understand the railroad and
fraight manipulation of the Me-
saba as we'll as people who have
had these things to contend with
daily for the past two years.
There is but one relief for the
Mesaba from freight rates, and
that would be the building of a
new road which would stay with
out the combination. The state
Legislature might also do a small
amount of missionery work with
good intent in the matter.

Orc For 4 Thousand Years,

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 20.-Solo-
mon S. Curry. president of the
metropolitan Iron & Land com.
pany, The larges, producer of
iron ore in the world, made an
astounding statement today re.
garding the future Of the busi-
ness and predicting a revolution
in the industry. Over 500,
100000 has yanished,' he declar-
Cd. He said the opening of the
Mesaba had been a big blow to
the Michigan Wisconsin com.
panies.
Mr.. Curry conveys the idea
that there has been a deprecia
ton of property to equal the
great sum named. For instance
the Colby mine was once valued
at 50, 900, 900 and it WAS sold for
a few hundred thousand. Mr..
Curry returned toGav from Cleve-
land, where he attended a con-
ference between representatives
! of nearly all the principal ore
corporations of the United States.

now on deck a. the Adams, with
prospects of an increase shortly,
as it is proposed to bring two
more shovels from the Mountain

progress is being made with
winter stripping here, and the

Uncalled for Advice.

Virginia has become a full
deaged city, the tran ;ition hav-
ing taken place at 5 o'clock on
February 7. Oar leiehbor now
boasts Of being the only city on
the range and pioneer in the
business. She had scarcely,
made her debut in the circle OF
cities when she turned up her
nose at Duluth and demanded a
division Of St. Louis county.
This is Virgin;a's first season in.
socl2ty and if she becomes sud.
denly too gay she may get a
friged snub from that prime old
grl, Miss Zenith. Grand Rap
ids Herald.
The Hcrald's advice, fatherly
though it may seem, is entirely
uncal!ed for at this stage of the
game. The division Of st. Louis
county is but question of time,
and when the north half Of ST.
Louis county gets ready there
should be no objection raised by
Duluth.
St. Louis county is $3.50 square
miles in area. The state o; Con.
necticut is only 1915 square
miles and of Rhode Island 1855
square miles, both together be-
ing but 20 square miles larger
than the banner county of Mimi.
esota. Delaware sinks into in
significance in comparison, hav.
ing but 1860 miles of domain.
Again, take the Minnesota
counties which are Ct average
size. and you will find the follow
ing thirteen counties around the
Twin Cities, running from Ram
sey county with 1862 square miles
up to Wright. with 694 square
miles. and averaging nearly 446.
could be planted inside St. Louis
county without crowdirg, and
then you could cut off enough to
make Texas, Pennsylvania or
someother small state from the
fringes. These thirteen coun'
ties are Washington, Ramsay,
Dakota, Hennepin, Scott, Car.
yer, Chisago, Isant,, Sherburne,
Wright, McLeo J, Anoka and LIE
Sueur.
Look over the state still fur.
ther and you will ind nine Jar.
ger counties in the southeastern
part. Take Dodge, with 43O
square miles up to Fillmore with
664, and averaging 631, you
have 5682 square miles. You
could then throw in Ramsay
county and still have sixteen
miles left over for a potato pa CHI
or to use for a county park and
new court house grounds.
Unless Duluth wants every.
thing thai lies outdoors she will
never have a kick coming on 4
division of county. at any time
time when the wilderness be-
comes settled enough to demand
such division for it's own good.
That time is not far distant, and
when it comes there is but on<
logical selection for q county
