Everything indicates that the flu
ture of Duluth Heights is at last Sc
cure. Ever since the panic OF ten
years ago things have been In rath-
er unsettled condition. The property
Of the land company was heavily en-
numbered and much Of it was lost.
Home owners were unable to meet the
payments and many of them were re-
quired to give up in despair. A few
heroic ones remained, and whatever
Improvement have been made during
these years the citizens themselves
are entirely responsible for. Now
cam pany has been organized and some
god improvements appear to be IN
sight. Mr.. Mendenhall who has al
ways taken the greatest interest in the
welfare Of the Heights said to the
Labor World this week:
"The property on Duluth Heights
formerly owned and plated by the
Highland Improvement company, and
the Duluth Heights Land company has
been acquired and is now owned by
the Highland company, Minnesota
corporation. The liens and mortgages
have all been removed and there is
now a clear title without incumbrance
in the new owner. The stockholders
Of the new company are largely Bos-
ton and Duluth people, who will at
once commence in a modest way to
make this suburb attractive. Streets
will be opened as required. Trees Will
be planted and water and sewers pro-
Vfded. The company will cooperate
with the present and future home own
ers to make this section a pleasant
one. The company will make low
prices and easy terms with low rate
of interest, and to the extent Of its
means will assist worthy home seek
ers to build their homes, accepting
payment In monthly or quarterly In
stallments, amounting to- about the
usual rent rate. The officers Of the
company are L. Mendenhall and Chas
P. Craig. Maps, prices and terms of
sale may be found at either the offices
of Mendenhall and Hopes in the
First National Bank building, room
209, or at the offices Of Chas. P. Craig
& Co., at No. 220 West Superior street,
All the property is easily accessible by
street cars, and is within fifteen min
utes Of the business center of Duluth,
and can be reached from any part of
Duluth for single fare of five cents"
