Something Definite by Spring.

It Is said that the coming spring
will witness something definite in the
matter of railroad development for
the Gunflint region. The Head of
the Lakes journal is Informed that
the names Of men not yet publicly
mentioned will be connected with it.
The surveyors that spent the greater
part Of last summer running lines be-
tween Two Harbors and Grand Marais
and from the latter point toward Ely
through the Gunfiint, still have their
field notes in their possession, and
these notes may go to persons that
were originally not connected with
any plan for development of railroads
In Cook county and vicinity. Among
the men now interesting themselves
in the proposed railroad to tap the
Gunfiint region is the vice president
of we'll known eastern railroad. He
is quietly procuring information on
the subject of the new country and
several of the men most heavily in
terested there are cooperating with
him and his associates. On the
strength of the outlook for speedy
development several well known Dull
nth men are picking up properties in
the Guuflint and are looking for more.
It is said that the new promoters
contemplate Grand Marais as the
shipping point for ore from the Gun
flint but it is also possible that Two
Harbors may be the southern ter
minus of the road and become import
ant in the respect that the road will
there transfer or receive from the Du-
luth & Iron Range road, logs, sup
plies, machinery and the hundred
and-one commodities that enter in
the calculations OF settling a new
region, The forest resources of Cook
county will tempt the promoters Of
the proposed new road to build to
Two Harbors. The road would run
through one bunch of standing pine
estimated to contain 100000 feet
and would tap an exceedingly rich
region of spruce. There is no incon-
siderable amount OF cedar also on the
proposed line. Important develop
ments regarding the Cook county
road are looked for in the near future.

ing: 1.-The news comes from Colonel
Norton's farm near E.Sberry, Kan,
that a young man climbed corn
stalk last Monday to see how the ears
were getting along and the corn is
growing up faster than he can climb
down. Three men have undertaken
to cut down the corn stalk, but owing
to its rapid growth il is feared that
they will not succeed in time to pre-
vent the young mans death from
starvation. He is subsisting on raw
corn and has already thrown down
four bushels OF cobs and it is now

SPURIOUS CHECKS.
Walker Engaged in "A Number of Shady
Transactions.

Transactions.
The police yesterday traced up the do
ingS of George A. Walker, who was ar
rested on Tuesday night on charge of
forgery, and learned of a number of
shady transactions in which he is said to
have been interested. He appears to have
operated with another man, who is known
both as Mitchell and Robinson, and to-
gether they worked off a number of spu-
rious checks. One check for S12.50 was
worked off on James McRhee, and another
on p. II. Weatherby, an Arizona street
saloon keeper, for $40.
The men appear to have made saloon
keepers their especial prey, as several are
said to have been victimized. They rep
resented themselves mining men, and
seem to have had little difficulty in get
ting their checks cashed. When sent 10
the banks the State Savings and Clark
Brothers, on which they were drawn, the
persons presenting them were informed
that the signatures they bore were not
good. One of those known to have been
passed was signed T. w. Hayson. and the
other James e. Feey & Son. When ar
rested Walker had number of checks in
his possession, all made ready to pass

IMMIGRATION is INCREASING
Foreigners Apparently Attracted b. Sue
cess OF he War with Spain.

From figures to be obtained in the
Bureau Of immigration, presided over
by Commissioner Powderly, it is found
that immigration is once more on the
increase, and there Is no way OF telling
whether it will again decrease. The
increase dates from the ending Of the
war with Spain Foreigners seem to
have been attracted TO the United States
by the fact that this country defeated
Spain 50 easily. Of course this Is not
the main reason for the increase, 1t is
said. but it is one OF the reasons which
started afresh the desire to come to the
United States
The number Of immigrants arriving
in this country took big fall during
the year 1897. There had also been a
decrease in 1896 compared with pre-
vious years Commissioner Powderly
had hoped that the total immigration
would never increase over the number
in 1891
For the six months ending December
81. 1896, the total immigration to the
United States through our own ports
and those Of Canada was l07, COS. OF
which So, SOB were males and 5l, lO5 fe-
males. For the first six months OF 1897
there was not mach of a decrease, but
the decrease during the last six months
of the year was heavy. For the six
months ending December 3. 1897, the
total number Of arrivals was 80, 10, the
number OF males being 81, ,266 and the
females AZ, 900. The decrease over the
same period of the previous year was
8, ,433.
During the six months ended Decem-
Der 81. 1898, the total immigration was
1875, 1888, about 20, 900 greater than the
same period of the year before, and
more than lS 900 greater than the same
period Of two years before. The num-
Der of males arriving for the six months
mentioned was 70, 004; females, 55 ,279.
The great increase for that period be-
gan in August of last year, just about
the time of the announcement of a ces-
sation Of hostilities between Spain and
the United States
For the six months of 1897 Italy fur
nished larger number of immigrants
than any other country, the figures for
the principal countries being Italy
20. 6le; Russia, ~, 1898; Ireland, 1882 4;
Germany, 9, 4s3; Sweden, 6,995 Hun
gary, 5, ,sS5, and England. 5,672. Ger
many. Ireland and Sweden furnish
more females than males in the number
of their immigrants. Of the Irish i'm
migrants 6,9ll were females; Sweden,
4. 76l females, and Germany, 4,S29
