RED LAKE LANDS.

Mum erons inquiries have
reached the Pioneer relative to
the opening of the Red Lake
lands on the tenth of next month.
In reply to these inquiries and
for the information Of any who
may be considering the matter
of filing on these new lands we
give the following brief descrip-
ton of the lands and the methods
that must be employed in secur-
ing them:
The lands to be opened are
purely agricultural and lie almost
entirely north Of Red Lake. The
usual homestead laws apply, but
no communication will be allowed
and the settler must actually pay
$1.25 per acre for his land in five
equal annual installments and
actually live upon the land for
full five years. There must be
the usual actual inspection of the
land before filing and the filing
fee is simply the inyariable $14,
and no more than 16O acres can
be secured by any one person.
The regulations which govern
the opening Of these lands to set
Element are intended to reserve
the land to actual settlers, and
there would seem to be small
chance for spectators to get
control of the lands. By reason
of the regulations Baltrami coun-
ty is assured Ia substantially addi-
ton to it's permanent population
and the development of thefhorth
end of the big county will be
much fastened.

growth of Minnesota during the
decade can hardly be compared
with the growth of the first three
years Of the present decade.
Northern Minnesota particularly
has fattened it's population ex-
ceedingly. Seven years of the
decade still remain and there is
every Indication that they will be
seven fat years, and that 1910

UNDER GOULD CONTROL.
Chicago Great Western in New Sc
curities Company.

New York, jan 16.--George j.
Gould, according to the American has
ordered his attorney to make final
drafts of the charter for the securities
company under which he is to collect
all his railroad properties east of the
Mississippi.
The company will be organized I'M
der Pennsylvania laws, as Mr.. Gould
believes that by getting a charter in
that state he will be in better position
to fight the Pennsylvania railroad.
The capital named in the charter
will be nominal, but there will be a
clause authorizing its increase. The
first move will be to take in the several
small roads about Pittsburg, which
form the, entrance to that city. AS the
Wabash and the other roads are taken
in from time to time the capital will
be increased in proportion, until with
bonds, it reaches 00,000,000.
There will be no underwriting syndi-
cate, as mere exchange OF stock is
contemplated.
While there is no absolute statement
from an official to that effect it is init
mated that the Chicago Great Western.
the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg
and the Wisconsin Central will be
found in the Gould company. Vice
President Oppenheim of the Chicago
Great Western sailed from London
Tuesday for New York bearing the
purchased control of that road for
somebody, presumably Mr.. Gould.
