Who Will Win The $40.

The committee, having in charge
the matter of determining the winner of
the SO in gold offered for the best ar
ticle on tho resources of Douglas
County met in the office of James II.
Agen Wednesday afternoon and eX-
amined the several articles which
were submitted.
The committee found that all the
papers submitted were excellent as
essays, but none of them came quite
up to the expectation Of the commit
tee, and it was decided to extend the
time for receiving the article until
March II.
1t must be understood that the ar
ticles are wanted for the purpose of
sending out as circular, descibing
the agricultural and other advantages
of Douglas county. Should none of
the articles received be approved and
accepted by the committee and used
for this purpose the prize will not be
given.
The subject is good one and ought
to appeal to the writer who is really
interested in the development of
Douglas county, and it is hoped by the
committee that the best talent in the
city and county will take it up and
give the matter serious consideration.
The committee is much disappointed
that the numerous tea cheers editors,
reporters and high school students
have apparently taken no interest in
the matter Believing that the time
was somewhat short for the large ma
jority, the committee have extended
the time until March II.
All communications should be care
fully and plainly written and left with

10000 tons or more of ore each.
These are the Fayal, Mt. Iron, Maho-

mentioned have shipped more than
that amount before, but the Mahoning
and Stevenson have that experience
vet in store The Mahoning has been
in shape to forward 100000 tons or
more any season for several years, but

more than that amount.-Hibbing
