Mr.. and Mrs. II. W. Gable, of Two
Harbors, were in town few days this
week. 1t was their first visit here, and
they expressed themselves as being
delighted with the picturesque location
for our village and expressed the hope
that they might in the near future be-
come residents of our promising village.
Mr.. Cable has been investigating the
merits of the proposed railroad and,
having become convinced that the road
would be built, he came to look over our
village with a view to purchasing a
couple of lots on which to engage in bust
ness as soon as Developments would
warrant it. When the time arrives we
will be pleased to welcome Mr.. and Mrs.
Gable to our midst.
The petition for an election on the
proposition to divide st. Louis county,
and to create the new county of Iron,
was denied by the state board, consisting
! OF the governor, secretary of state and
state auditor. 1t is putting it mild TO
say that the people of the ranges are
hot over the result. The republican
papers of that region are rot backward
IN branding the action of the board as a
dirty political deal made with the board
by the Office holding faction of the re-
publican party in Duluth. If the county
was divided the Duluth republicans
would not have the cinch on the county
Offices that they have had in the past,
hence their opposition to the proposed
division. In all probability the action
of the board will not help the repub-
ican ticket in st. Louis county at the
comming election.
