tlOn OF some OF lHe Duluth members of
the guard, who also came to St Paul
during the day. He registered at the
Merchants. Mayor Truelson was elect
ed on the platform which contemplated
either the purchase of the Duluth Gas
and Water company plant or the con-
struction of an independent plant. AL
though neither has yet been done, he
has been in a measure successful in his
efforts to give the Zenith City a supply
of pure water
I'VE are building a supplementary
plant" he said last night to a reporter
for the G l o b e, consisting Of mains
some seven miles to Lakewood. where
we are putting UP a pumping station
and a reservoir, which, when filled, will
furnish sufficient water for about 3OO,
900 people. We will lay five-foot in
take pipe out 1,500 feet into Lake Su-
perior where the water is from 60 to 20
feet deep, and the pumping station will
be located high up on the hill at the
east end of the city This will. of
course, not furnish water to the busi-
ness center Of Duluth, but only the
eastern part of the town, but it is the
ultimate intention either to purchase
the city plant from the Gas and Water
company or to parallel it. The only OBJ
stacle to the former plan is the matter
Of price. The recent rains in Duluth
did considerable damage, but should
say that the amount would not exceed
the sum Of of perhaps 100000"

w. F. Street, who enjoys the distinc-
ton of being county attorney of the
newly organized county of Beltrami
was in st. Paul yesterday, and is en-
thus:astic over the prospect of steady,
substantial growth for the young town
of Bemidji, which was made the county
seat. Mr.. Street says there are not less
than 800 persons living in the place,
and that. although it is still a home
stead country, the citizens are patiently
waiting for the Great Northern to
build line in from Fosston, a distance
of sixty miles. They share with the
people of Fosston the notion that the
Great Northern means to tap the iron
range country, and the fact that sur
Neys have been made and iron and ties
have been laid in the direction of Deer
river makes them think that by spring
the work of construction will. begin. -
