nislead the public.
It's facilities for gathering news, both local
and foreign, are far superior 90 those of any
other newspaper in the West
It presents the news In as fair o way as pos

the Summary of THE DAILY TRIBUNE

This is proving a very bad fall for
railroad grading north OF Bemidji.
In the first place, there is a scarcity
of help, even at S1.75 per day. The
frequents rains have prevented the men
from getting in much time, and many
of them have returned to town to loaf
until the weather has cleared. And
now that inducements are being Of
cred to get men for the woods, it will
be harder than ever to get help on the
railroad.
Grading is very difficult on account
of the flooded surface. The first ten
miles of the extension passes through
a sandy country, where the work is
not SO much hindered by rain. but be-
yond is beds of clay and swampy
surface. 1t requires martyrs to work
this after a rain. We doubt if more
than ten miles Of road will be finished
this year. But ten miles of road will
be great help to the loggers operat-
ing along the line.

The new train of the Northern Pacific,
makes such connections with b. 81 N.
NJ. trains at Brainerd that Walker,
Bemidii, etc. passengers can use 1t to
and from Duluth and Superior and to
points on the main line of the N. F..
r. west of Brainerd. The morning
and evening train service daily in
both directions between Duluth and
the west should be of great benefit to
djacent country people.
