Railway PURPOSES.

Lumber company, through Its secretary,
G. F., Wehe, to-day delivered to the
Northern Pacific Railroad companys rep
resentatives deeds to the lands which

The Northern Pacific has been operating
here several weeks, since the purchase
from the receiver of the Washburn, Bay
field & Iron River railroad. but has been

and about four blocks in length; another
is the whole Of block a., while there is
still another strip in the vicinity of the
Northern Pacific logging docks.

for frontage purposes, and gives it ample
room for docks and other improvements
on the harbor front. Mr.. Wehe says the
property is valued at about SIS, 900, yet
the Hines people gave it in order to help
Washburn secure the new road.
During the week the Northern Pacific
has put two new logging trains on it's ex-
tension to this city, and has for several
weeks maintained passenger trains over
the line between here and Iron River, at
which point connection is made with the
main l1ne BY securing the Hines lands

| abilities are that the road will at once be-
gin improvements along the shore 'front.'

first improvements to be made.

Brownlow is still king in the First
District. He easily won a reelection
in Tuesdays election. Cy Lyle made
picturesque canvass against the Re-
publican boss, but Cy did not expect to
be elected and his canvass was rather
in the nature of a diversion from his
editorial routine. Brownlow's ma
iority this year is estimated at about
5000, which is an increase over his ma
iority in the off.year of 1893, when he
defeated Grouchenour by only 1854
votes In 1900 Brownlow won over
Reeves by majority of 8, 257-Nash-

YOUNG Plants

Every farmer knows that
ONE plants grow better than
Others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
hildren. They are like young
,ylants. Same food, same home,
Ame care but some grow big
nd strong while others stay
nall and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
o5y way out of the difficulty.
aid weakness often means
.arvation, not because of lack
{ food, but because the food
oes not feed.
