and during that year the Port Wing
Herald, Frazee Park Region and
Golden Slope at Finley, N. D., were
among his newspaper ventures. The
Roneby Review came next IN 1898,
and it was while he was editor of
that paper that Mr.. Woods eyesight
| failed and this has since hampered
him in his work. The Foley Indepen-
dent was established in 1899 but was
i Dandoned SOON aitel " ard as its edi-
tor was threatened with blindness. He
left newspaper WORK for three years,
returning to 1t in 1909 to start the
Benton County Democrat The Ely
Iron Dynamo was the next venture in
1908, hut its career was a brief one.
Selecting as a point for a final
stand, the little town Of Beaver Bay,
on the north shore ofLakeSuperior. the
Lake County Advocate, was started
on Oct. Is Of last year and it shows
every sign of permanency, although it's
owner is not averse to start in search
of new worlds to conquer. Each new
community is watched by him with
much interest and if he finds a place
where the time for a newspaper is
opportune, he is rot averse to illipg
in the gap.
While it is true in his case, as in
many others that "a rolling stone
gathers no moss, he is in comfortable
circumstance and his family wants
for nothing. During his entire career
he has shown business acumen
which might be considered worthy
Of better reward in his declining
years. He has taken advantage of
every opportunity that presented it,
self and has made a living where
others might have failed.
One fact he has not lost sight of
and it has brought him many dollars
The law governing the entry of gov
ern ment land requires that all adver-
Using in connection with the property
shall be done in the newspaper near
est the land. Mr.. Wood has made it
a point to take advantage of this
pro vision and if his paper did not
happen to be nearest to a tract of
land which was to be thrown open.
he has taken pains to move it there
At his present location there is little
demand, practically none, for news
paper, yet the receipts from land
Office advertising are sufficient to make
papers Of even more ambitious lines,
turn green with envy.
The expenses of getting out paper
such as he publishes is comparatively
light and is confined to the purchase
Of raw material only. Mrs. Wood at
tends to the correspondence and &C.
counts, their four daughters set the
matter and make up the forms and
finally operate the Washington hand
press which prints the paper.

CHANGES IN N. 2. DEPART
MENTS.

President Howard Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific, announced plans for
the reorganization of the land, right
of way, real estate and tax depart
ments Of the Northern Pacific, which
will be put into effect on Jan. /.
The changes give G. S. Fernald
charge of tax matter exclusively, and
will permit him to devote his entire
attention to this branch of the COM
pany's business.
The real estate and right Of way
bust ness of the Northern Pacific is to
be consolidated with the land depart
ment. coming under the jurisdiction
of Thomas Cooper. The total business
of the land department becomes some-
what less, year by year, owing to the
sales OF land grant real estate, bring
ing less amount of work..in that de-
partment. The work added to the
land department is so closely related
and 80 similar as to make the CONSOLE
dation of Departments a simple ana
effective method Of handling it.
After Jan. 1, Mr.. Fernald will de-
vote himself to tax matters and such
duties AS may be assigned exclusively,
reporting to the president. The
changes are made to relieve him Of
detail and permit him to give closer
attention to questions of taxes and
business of that nature, growing
yearly more and more important.

The Duluth News Tribune OF Sun
day has an interesting illustrated. arti-
Gle on A. DeLacy Wood, formerly of
Little Falls and we'll known as the
founder of many newspapers. Follow
ing are extracts: -
During the 80 years in which A.
DeLacy Wood has been factor in the
country newspaper field in the north
west. 81 publications have, by his
efforts, been famed with the breath Of
life and brought into being. Some of
them have served the end for which
they were created and their careers
have closed. Others have fallen into
new hands and have been groomed in.
to prosperous country journals, which
now exert their influence over the
community.
Of his latest publication, the Lake
County Advocate of Beaver Bay.
Mimi, his wife Julia A. Wood, has
her name at the masthead, yet he is
still the guiding genius which has
made the enterprise success. He is
still the editor, his wife is the busi-
ness manager and his daughters are
the compositors and pressmen. Circa-
lation takes care of itself and adver-
Using comes without solicitation.
.Although the present niche occupied
by this man is comparati, ely small
possibly none has had more check
cred career than that. which has
marked MS struggle for success. Dur.
ing his entire newspaper existence,
be has sought new fields and has aided
in blazing the way of civilization.
Stirring scenes have marked his life
since he established the Prescott Pat
riot at Prescott, Wis.,, in 1872, and
his disposition to be constantly on the
move has privileged him to touch
elbows with dignitaries of world wide,
repute. Commissions and letters
from men of national fame are anon 6

fully treasured. The autographs OF
Horace Greedy. Abraham Lincoln,

efforts of the young editor in their be-.
