WEYERHAEUSER'S MAY OPERATE II
RUMOR THAT THE SYNDICATE
WILL RUN BRAINERD MILL.

Brainerd Dispatch: 1t il now as
sured that the Brainerd Lumber COM
pany will not operate its mills in
this city the coming season, unless
something unforeseen happens. The
company is doing no logging at oil
this winter ano there are no logs on
hano. The company has large stock
Of lumber on hand and this will be
disposed OF as rapidly az possible.
It is confidently believed by many
that 50 good a mill as the one located
in Brainerd will never remain idle.
1t is asserted in lumber circles that
the Weyerhaeusers have an eye on
this mill and in view of the fact
that their pulp mill is located at the
dam this rumor is not entirely with
out foundation. The Weye,haeusers
have large timber tracts on the reser.
walton and the mill is easy of access.
Another rumor is out to the effect
that Supt. Cook and another gentle
mon had bought the mill and that it
will be moved from this city to Fort
Francis as soon as the M. & l. is ex-
tended through to the boundary.

A LIVE STOCK AMPHITHEATER
FOR TUE STATE FAIR

very importan: work in the develop.
ment of the live stock industry Of the

i breeding of b4ooGed stock and since
then has held, in connection with
these association, national exhibitions
of fine stock at each annual fair. The
effects have been marked marvellous.
Stock raising has been greatly stim.
ulated and the average of animals on
Minnesota farms has already been
raised in quality.
This most practical and important
work has entirely outgrown the state
fair grounds shipment. To continue
and develop as the need and opportun-
ity and the interest of the state de-

the fair grounds is imperatively
needed. There most be a place where
cattle may beSjudged and..the auction

provided with amphitheaters by their

and the greatCanadian fair at Toronto
