On TO THE BIG FORK.

The 1tasca Lumber Co. has
announced it's intentention of go.
ing ahead with the ex
tensions of the Sims logging
road. Early in the spring the
company had about twenty miles
of right-of.way surveyed from
the end of the present road,
eighteen miles north of Deer
river, to the Big Fork river. 1t
is probable that rot more than
twelve miles of track will be
built this year. however, as all
work So far has been retarded by
wet weather and the inability to
get men TO work on the new
roadbed. 1t is said that work
will now be pushed so that the
company can take out a large
tract of burned ii nber near Tur-
tie lake next winter.
The general direction of the
1tasca Lumber company's road,
or the Sims road, as it is called,
is northwest from Deer River,
and the building of the new ex-
tension has given rise to many
reports as to the future of the
road. 1t is claimed that while
the road is being extended ap
parently to get at the pine lands
around Turtle lake, 1t will event.
ually reach Canada. and that it
will become a part Of the Great
Northern system. lp this con-
nection it is said that James J.
Hill has furnished heavy stand
ard rails for the extension at a
very low cost, and that he was
enabled to do this by means of
an option he got on steel rails
before the recent rise in prices.
tbs also said thai Mr.. Hill has
offered the company the use of
his steam shove]s in building the
extension. In case the road is
! built to Little Falls on the Big
Fork. to which point it has been
surveyed, it will only require a
stretch of track eighteen miles
long to put it through to Kooch.

The writer was at Virginia Mon
day, says G. M Atkinson in the
Hibbing News, and was surpris-
ed at the change that has taken
place in that city within the past
few weeks, From the solitude
of country grave yard it has
sprung into a thriving center of
business activity. Everyone
seems happy and contented, and
business is good and growing
better in all lines. More pleas =
ing to US is the evident pros.
perlty of the newspapers. Vir =
ginia has two excellent news
papers and they have held right
to the old town and given it and
it's people the best they had dur
ing the siege of depression thai
has held the town in it's grasp
these several years, and none are
more entitled to the good things
than Hannalord and Cuppernull.
We sincerely hope that Virginia
will continue with it's present
volume of business and that it
may increase rather than grow
less.

The business world recognizes
that no man who drinks is as
good as he would be if he never
drank. Time was when in Ger.
tain lines of business it was con .
sidered necessary to drink. The
contrary is the case now. Even
saloon men prefer barkeepers
who donot drink the liquids they
sell. All the fairy tales about
the great things people do when
under the influence Of liquor have
been exploded, The orator who
must be intoxicated in order to
make asspeech is no longer here
and he never has been here. The
lawyer who cannot plead a case
or cite an authority without
spending the night before in a
barroom has gone to visit the
pale glimpses Of the moon and
he has always been gone. The
