The Fosston branch of the Great
Northern road will be extended the
coming spring from Fosston to Deer
River on the Duluth, Superior &
Western road. The construction of
this line means the shortening of the
haul on much wheat and the conse-
quent falling off of much business on
this branch of the Great Northern.
It also means the loss of much bust
ness to the Twin cities and the conse-
quent increase in Duluth trade. Fer

present time and forward them to the
clerk of the circuit court Within 90
days of the receipt of the copies, appli-
cation should be made by tho owners of
the cargo and vessel for the taking of
additional evidence. IL at the end of 30
days, no such application has been made,
the United States attorney will be autho-
rized to request the court to discontinue
the proceedings, and the decision of the
board will stand with the courts recog
milton, this being tantaInount to the ap
proval of the appellants, by failure to
prosecute, will accept The decision of the
board. Tho case is of considerable inter
est to many in this oity, and the final
outcome is awaited with much interest.

danger does not lies notin Venezuela, nor

the failure of the attempt to get a de-
