s4,OOO,OOO LUMBER DEAL.
Weycrhauser Gets Possession of Big
Tracts of Timber.


CLOQUET, Mimi, March 25.-It is
understood that the deal between the C.
n. Nelson Lumber company and the
WeyerhaISer interests has been con-
summated and the property of the
former i'll this section passes into Wey-
erhausers possession.
The deal has been under considera-
ton some time, but most lumber circles
have not believed that it was likely to
be closed, the sum asked for the prop
critics being very large. The amount
that the G. N. Nelson company gets
for it's interests in this section is placed
at about $4, 100000 cash or it's eQuiVa-
lent, making the trade one of the larg-
est that has ever taken place In Mime
sofa pine timber interests. The pos
sessions of the c. N. Nelson company
in st. Louis and Carleton counties in
clude two very large and modern mills
at this place, capable of cutting from
100,0O0,000 to 10000 feet in season; !;
vast tracts Of standing pine along the
st. Louis and tributaries estimated to
contain several hundred millions of tim
Der; a new standard guage railway
tWenty-SiX miles long and now being
extended into the iron and pine regions
of the Mesaba range, valuable iron
mines on that range leased to the Min
nesota Iron company, and from which
a royalty is received, as well as unde-
veloped iron lands.
The WeyerhauSer interests already
control one saw mill concern at. this
place, with tow mills, and has other in
terests along the st. Louis and in the
Mesaba country valued at about the
same as those of the c. NJ. Nelson COM
pany. These will all now be run under
a practical consolidation, and the COM
binatien will be a very heavy bidder
for the Eastern cargo trade in lumber
from Duluth.

But Large Crowd Listened to the
OratOricaI Efforts,

Something like 1000 enthusiastic Re-
publicans, a few Democrats, including
Mayor Smith, who had a seat on the
platform, and an occasional lady were
regaled with Republican oratory with
out stint for two hours at the meeting
of the state league Of Republican
clubs, which was held in the Grand
crera house last night. Nearly one
hundred of the prominents We're seated
on the stage. Several selections were
discoursed by an orchestra while the

CROOKSTON FULL OF PEOPLE
Waiting for the Opening of Red
Lake Reservation

Land Agent George Purves, of the
Great Northern. came to town yester-
day from Crookston, where he has
been busily engaged for the past few
days taking care of the people who
have gone to that section of the state
from other states to purchase land in
the Red river valley. Mr.. Purves has,
since he left here few days ago slld
some 1000 acres OF land to twenty
actual settlers, who, in some cases. are
already in possession and making
preparations to do their spring farm
work.
Crookstop is Iiiled with people, ac-
cording to Mr.. PurVeS, who are pa
tiently awaiting the opening of the
Red Lake reservation. Some of them,
it is true, have had cause to regret
having gone on the ground so early
on account OF the rather severe wealth
er, but the majority are supplied with
money and are biding their time to
secure good lands from the govern
ment. Mr.. Purves says there are
about 1000 persons in Crookston and
vicinity, and he expects that the low
rate. in effect April 8, wilt materially
increase this total.

his position in a courteous recogni-
ton of the honor conferred on him for
five years.
On the election of officers Hennepin
rallied to the support of d. w. Bruck-
art, of Stearns; e. II. Blackburn nom
mating him, and John Swift seconding
it. Ripley Brewer, of st. Cloud, also
spoke in the same line.
F. c. Stevens mounted a chair, and,
while paying a high compliment to
Mr.. Bruckart, declared that the presi-
dent should be accessible at all times
to the people of all parts of the state.
He should be IN Gne or the other of
the big cities, and he named an ar
dent worker in the party, Eli S. War
her, of Ramsey.
MY name is Kreger from Henne-
pin," shouted young man who was
standing on chair
"Sit down." yelled the Warner peo-
pie, but Kreger would not sit. He
had strong voice, and he was heard.
Bruckart was the only man who
would please Hennepin.
Then the convention indulged in
wrangle over the method Of voting,
which was finally solved by voting in
congressional districts, as the commit
tee on credentials had reported. The
various districts tnen nocked Dy them
selves for a while, and Hennepin held
to it's record of the last few days by
having a scrap. The credentials COM
mittee had recognized only twenty
seven clubs; there We're thirty-five
claiming representation.
Without waiting for Hennepin, the
rest were polled. The First gave War
ner SO, Bruckart 20; the Second, War
ner As, Bruckart 80; the Third, So for
L =
ner. The Sixth and Seventh voted
their 235 votes solidly for Bruckart,
but even Hennepins solid vote could
not save him, and. in the midst of a
wrangle as to what should be done
