PROCTOR KNOTT

The beginning Of this place dates back
to 1894, when Beriah Magoffin Of Duluth
plated nearly hundred acres into lots
25x125 feet in size, the Duluth & Masaba
railroad having gone through here the
year before.
The first house built was the residence
of George Thompson on the east eide of
the track in 1894. The postofice was
established the same year. The first
school was established in 1895. The
population now numbers about 500.
Mr.. Magohfn, who was formerly from
Kentucky, and is now resident Of Du-
luth, named the place in honor Of his
friend Proctor Knott, and in order that
Mr.. Knott might see the place he had go
derisively commended some years since
Mr.. Magofln brought him to Duluth to
see that all that he had pictured in
sarcasm was all and more than his Lam
guage had foretold. The sequel is the
naming Of this new town Proctorknott.
The place is yet very young, and it is
growing, as evidenced in the fact that
numerous new buildings are now in pro-
cess of erection. Among the few BUSH
ness firms is the
General Store Of w. A. Riddle.
people fully understand that he can sell and does
hay and hardware as cheap or cheaper than mer.
chants in Duluth. OF course, why not? The
wholesalers deliver to him as cheaply as to any
merchant in Duluth, his rent is nothing, it costs
as little to feed his teams as in the city, therefore
it is plain that he cannot be undersold. For
proof he pointed to the alright stove which
ordinarily sells for 81 and called attention to the
fact that he was selling this at $3.50. Added to
his low price for goods he calls upon his custom
ers, takes their orders and delivers his goods
three times a day. Phone number $685. Five
rings. %e
Nathan Page, General Teaming.
Mr. Page, who has been here some years doing
general teaming in drawing coal and lumber from
Duluth, is just now fitting up a handsome bus
which, comfortably warmed, will run between
Bay View Heights and Proctorknott every hour
Of the day in connection with the cars on the
Incline railway. This enterprise ought to be re
warded by liberal patronage ON the part of the
people of Proctorknott. F..
ja.- T. A. Armstrong, Barber. 90
Surely this town of 500 people will well support
a barber, and yet several BARRIERS have come and
gone fir ON this place. Mr.. T. A. Armstrong, how
ever, who has lately come here, has two chairs.
with every prospect of doing good buainess.
He has all the facilitiesfor pleasing his customers
and ought to do well.

panic nipped the enterprises which were
started here and several of the factory
buildings now stand empty. But we.
believe this is only temporary. By and
by, when business generally opens, these
empty buildings will be in demand. fac
tory wheels will be running full force
and large population will take delight
in living here.
Brand & Donald, Meats and Groceries.
We met few friends here and among them
were Brand & Donald, who supply the people
with groceries and meats. They formerly ran
wagon between this place and West Duluth, but
trade grew so large as to make this the perma-
nent abiding place with store for Mr.. Brand
while his partner continued in West Duluth
J. E. Bartz, Groceries.
We had to confess that We never saw a store SO
full of goods this of MIR. Bartz, but Mr.. B. says
that when he began here seven years ago this
store was more completely filed than now, al
though he had but $50 worth of goods when he
started. OF course he had email room, and it is
small yet, but that does not hinder him from
supplying the people with about all they want to
eat. Mr. 3. carries the mail from the postoftice
to the station and is the general friend Of every
body. ..-

Money for Florida Troops

Saturday, in Tampa, Governor
BIoxham made the Florida regi-
ment happy by announcing to the
boys that he had borrowed the
money with which to pay them
for the time served after enliStlng
and before being mustered into
the service of the United States.
He stated to them that there
was no appropriat ton for this un-
expected demand, and to call an
extra session of the legislature at
"A cost of $780, was not to be
heard Of, so he borrowed the
money to pay them. 1t is need
less to say the governor was
heartily cheered. Governor
Black Of New York has also paid
off the New York volunteers for
their services to the state, some
six weeks time, which the boys
were needing very badly.

HERE'S A NEW THEORY.
Up by Dynamite Placed in Her
TOrDPdO Tubes.

Key West. Fla. Feb. 21.-The latest story
as to the way the Maine was blown up is
contained in letter forwarded by secret
Cuban Club in Havana to ]. NJ. Gown, a
Cuban insurance agent here. The club re-
ceived it in the ordinary course of mail. 1t
was written in English. but was signed
"Maquinista'' CMachinisD. After a long pre-
ambe, saying that the writer knew the
Manes fate was due to a Spanish plot.
the letter goes on to say that in an old
warehouse ut Santa Catalina, 200 yards
from where the Maine was moored, some
diving apparatus had been hidden, and that
from this base two divers had worked by
night and filed the torpedo holes OF the
Maine with the dynamite cartridges, con-
Meeting them with wire to the battery on
the land, from which the cartridges were
exploded. According to the letter the
divers We're to have been paid a large sum,
which has not been Forthcoming. The
Cubans in Key West say that investigation
in Havana has tended to confirm the state
ments of the letter, which will so before
the court of inquiry. An officer of the
Maine. whose attention was called to the
story to-day, asserted positively to this cor
respondent that the torpedo holes of the
Maine had not been open during her stay
in the harbor.

DAY OF REST IN HAVANA.
Divers Did Not Work Yesterday
Americans Attend Church md

Havana, Feb. 27.-The day has been clear
and beautiful and the first day of real rest
for Captain Sigsbee and his officers since
the disaster. The divers did not work to-
day. Many Americans attended church
this morning and more were present at
bull fight this afternoon.
Lieutenant Commander West Admiral

vessel to Key West. The story that he
brought important dispatches to Consul

calls by Senator Proctor upon General

it is expected that he will call informally
upon several during the week. Consul
