Good Resolu tions,

It is natural, of course, for a man to
think Of making good resolutions.
AS the year closes, he casts up ac-
counts and finds that he has been
guilty of many follies, whereupon he
resolves to do better, and does so il he
has strength of character. In conseq-
uence, people at this time of the year
should firmly resolve to travel only via
the Saint Paul s. Duluth from now on
when travelling between ST. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior
and other points, because it Is an up
to-date line, running luxurious, finely
equipped trains at convenient hours
over a smooth roadbed, and between
handsome terminals where close con-
nections are made with trains run
ming to all points. Always take the
Duluth Short Line and go with the
people. Maps, circulars and general
iL formation may be obtained of
ticket agents, or sqey can be had by
writing direct toe. e. Stone, General
Passenger Agent, ST. Paul, MINI.

POTATO is KING.
Minnesota Farmers can Sell ell They Have
This Year.

Last year and the year before, the
potato WAS rather friendless article.
There were so many of them. and the
price was SO low, that they almost
went begging, but from present in
dicatious it would appear that soon
none but the rich can enjoy the lux
airy starchy tuber. The potato serves
as a part daily food Of the majority Of
the people in the northern part OF the
country, many Of whom serve them
in many different ways, three times a
day.
Minnesota become famous through
out the United States as potato
state. In 1885 the total crop of the
state was about 5000, 900 bushels and
was almost entirely consumed athome,
in the cities and an the farms. In
1895, the crop Of the state amounted
to 4,5O0,000 bushels, and Minnesota
rose from the twentieth state in the
union as producer of potatoes to the
third place. This year the crop will
be considerable larger than was esti-
mated. At least 100000 bushels
will be shipped cut of the state. A
large part Of the crop of last year was
converted into starch, and the price
was so low that thousands az bushels
rotted in the ground, N OF being worth
digging. This Years production will
bring $4,000, 900 into the state

SO heavy and increasing SO rapidly,

lngsthe winter. Every potato that
is OF merciantable quality, will be
needed, and the farmers can dispose
of all that they have. A fact which
has never occurred before, is that the
New England states are drawing
heavily upon Minnesota for supply.
Potatoes have been shipped from
minneapolis to every state in the
union and to almost every city.
They go by the train loads to Chicago
Memphis, Cincinnati, st. Louis and
even into Florida. Many car loads
nave been shipped 10 Boston, which
has never been obliged to call upon
The West for a supply. A fair con-
cepton of the vast movement is the

Iron Outlook.
Record for Late Shipments to be
Broken. --Other News of the
Market at Large.

Ore shippers promise to break the
record for late records this year.
Though the figures showing receipts
OF ore at Lake Erie docks would APP
pear in this issue, in the usual order
of things, we are compelled to defer
publication for one week owing to the
fact that at this writing ore is still
being loaded at Escanaba and the
last cargoes from Two Harbors are
still in Lake Superior. There are in
dications that some producers are
straining for a tonnage record. In
the case Of Of some Mesaba properties,
at least considerable unsold ore has
been shipped. AS indicated in the
table given elsewhere, closely approx
imating the actual figures, the totol
Of shipments by water will not be far
from u, 10000 tons. All rail ship
nents of last winter and of the pres
ent- month may increase this beyond
II, 400, 900 tons. In 1895 the all rail
shipments were 290, 900 tons.
The second week of December finds
the iron trade still quite at sea re-
garding the basis for business in 1898.
In all lines there is close canvass Of
the situation, in view OF decisions
that must soon be made, since it is
generally believed that with all its
present quietness, the market is not
far. from Il season Of activity that
might rapidly dispel much of the UNI
certainty that now hangs over the

night have found variety of views

feeling is strong, leading Southern

yet there are variations of so to Is

of the elements of cost for 1898 are

for January are below what furnace

far no signs appear of the savage COM
petition that marked the break of the
pool. The past week has developed
some structural business, one good
contract coming up in the East, and
the amount Of work to be figured on
in the early months Of the new year
is encouraging. The agricultural
implement trade is carrying on manu-
featuring operations this winter on
the largest scale in several years. So

being made for demand that seems

Land Decisions.
Duluth Land Officers Render
Seven Decisions.

Register Culkin and Receiver Ryan
OF the government land office in Du-
luth, have rendered decisions in seven
swamp land cases. All of them are
adverse to the state. From the find
ings it would appear that in setting
aside swamp lands for the state no
great amount Of care was exercised,
for in the seven decisions Just made
there was scarcely enough swamp or
oVerfiowed land in all the land invol-
we'd to make a 40 acre tract eligible
for classification as swamp.
In the case of Olaf Gustaf Nordin
against the state, involving lands in
rs, 66-l7, the contestant filed affidavit
or The non-sWampy character of the
land and hearing was ordered. 1t
was found at the hearing tnat there
were four acres on one tract and five
acres on another Of the land involved,
that was low. The state put in no
evidence and the officials of the Du-
luth land office recommend the claim
Of the state for cancelling.
In the case of Michael Moors against
the state involving lands in %, 1925
tue officials recommend that the
claim Of the state be cuncelled. There
were only four acres on the property
that could besclassed as swamp.
Henry S. Mahon filed an affidavit to
the effect that lands in 10, 6I-I4 were
Of non-swampy character and the
findings at the hearing supported the
same. There were not to exceed six
or seven acres of land that might be
considered swampy and the officials
recommend that the claim of the state
be rejected.
AT the hearing in the case Of Alex
McLaren against the state involving
lands in "A, 47-20, it was found that a
very small portion Of the land des-
cribed was low or swampy. 1t was
not enough to sustain the claim of
the state and the claim of the state
Is recommended for cancellation.
In the case of Louis Robarge against
the state, involving lands in IA, 65-I9,
recommendation is made that the
claim of the state be rejected. There
is no part Of the land that can be
called swampy unless it is three or
four acres along the margin of a brook
that flows across the tract. The case
Sgne Hagen against the state in
wolves land in IA. Colo also, and the
same recommendation is made in fav-
or of the contestant. There are
about ten acres of swampy land on
this tract.
DIN course Of the heariug in the case
of James McRae against the state in
yolving land in "a. GILL, it is found
that the land is high and rocky ex-
cepting a narrow strip Of lowland
along the banks of creek. The
claim of the state is recommended for
cancellating.

Says 1t will Build,

A gentleman who is heavily inter-
eSted in iron lands in Cook county.
and who closely watched the efforts at
exploration that have been made back
OF Grand Marais and in the vicinity of
Gvnflint lake during the past sum
mer, said today:
II predict that within a year some
starting developments will be made in
Iron mining in Cook county. l am
confident that the Duluth g. Iron
Range railroad will be extended to
Gunflint from Ely, Notwithstanding
the apparently official statement that
the company has no intention Of do
Ing so. There is no doubt that
systematic effort has been made to
belittle the value of property in that
section and it has been done for the
purpose of discouraging others from
building a railroad in there ahead of
the Iron Range. During the past
summer that company has surveyed
line from Ely to Gunfint and early
next spring will see some of its in
creased capital stock used in building
the road. When this is done, Of course,
there will not be as mnch inducement
for outside capital to invest in another
road there and the Iron Range will
have monopoly of that country as it
now has OF the Vermilion range"
