RRAINERD's PAPER MtEL>a'',
Work to Commence Soon.-DuI. Pulpwood
Business Forecasted.

CLOQUET, MINN.-It has been decided
by the Northwest Paper company OF this
city, to build a large mill at Bra1nerd, ana
work will commence there very soon. This
mill will be a complete one, to make sew
eral grades OF. finished paper. The supply
of wood is said to be very large on the
upper river. tributary to Brainerd. 1t Is
expected that it's product will be handled
by the Western Paper company. The
Weyerhaeuser interests here are back of
the new enterprise. The Cloquet mill has
been very successful ,....,. =:
It looks as though the pulpwood business
would suffer another dull winter On &C
count of the large stock Of wood accumu-
lated at mills. Colvin & Robb, OF Two
Harbors, who have a contract for 100000
cords in the next ten years with the Ha-
mermill Paper company. OF Erie, expected
to get out about Is, 900 cords this season.
but have announced they will cut none on
account of the stock on hand at Erie.
Some other pulpwood contracts seem to be
in about the same shape. ....
On the other hand, the Lake superior
Timber company has just closed a con-
tract for cutting about 5000 cords on the
,Nepigon river, mostly for the Michigan
Subtitle Fiber company, and 1t is prob
able that other contracts will be taken on
north shore lands that are not subject TO
the restrictions Of the dominion act that
prohibits the expectation Of wood cut on
crown lands.
Wisconsin mills. too, are said to nave
used up the accumulation Of two years ago
and are to be in the market here and else
where for considerable wood, which VIII
