GRAND MARAlS o. X.
: Not a Large Place but Contains Big
$ Bunch of Nice People,

Such is Editor Coggswell's size-up OF
Grand Marais, En- his paper, the Two
Harbors Iron News, last week he gave
an interesting account of his recent trip
down the north shore. After relating
other experiences, he says: )
"Our visit of three days in Grand
Marais will always be recalled with
pleasure. Partly because it is b good
place to stay in, but largely because of
the cordial reception one receives from
the good people there. We found them
untiring in contributing to our enter
tainment, and their thoughtfulness indi-
Gates they have reached the zenith of
good fellowship. It is not large place
but contains big bunch of nice people.
Of course our people are especially
interested in Don McAlpine, who num-
acquaintance. When Don was elected
county attorney and village recorder
and otherwise we'll received there, his
success appeared to have almost reached
! the limit, but it was as nothing COM
| pared with one other circumstance,
That fate led him to Grand Marais when
she was in exceptional good humor, is
evidenced by the attractive helpn-ate he
has since acquired.
"When we arrived we found the vii
lage by the land-locked harbor in the
throes of little internal strife. But
this was just little furry, it not being
a regular condition."

Talk on Ties,

is. Dickinson, tie inspector of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway,
talked with Duluth Herald reporter as
follows:
1--WE are purchasing railroad ties
cents cheaper now than they could be
obtained for at this time last year. One
would naturally suppose that as time
advances and timber grows scarce the
price of ties would advance. just why
the contrary is true at present T do not
know, unless it is that the market was
overstocked year ago. -
"This is the most likely explanation.
So many companies, both large and
small, were engaged in getting out<tim.
Der for such purposes as this during the
winter Of 1894, that the supply more
than equal)ed the demand, and cons1d.
cradle stock was left over. much Of it
being purchased at reduced prices by
some of>the railroads. These same roads
are this spring buying scarcely no ties
at all. -. 2, = r. -: ~ ~. & +. II

Tamarack is harder wood than cedar,

Caught on the Fly.

The Duluth Herald, Saturday, says:
"Charles J. Johnson, famlliarly known
in Duluth as the liking of Grand Ma
rails, ''arrived in the city last evening and
registered at the St. Louis hotel, after a
rough trip from the north shore town to
Two Harbors, where he boarded train
for Duluth. This is his first visit to the
city since last fall, for it is no easy taE K
to get out of Grand Marais during the
winter months. First class theatrical
attractions are not of common occur
renee IN Mr.. Johnson's home town, and
when seen last evening he was hurrying
through various operations preliminary
to a visit to David Harum," SO could
spare only few moments to talk about
events as they have occurred during the
winter along the north shore.
Il came by team from Grand Marais
to the Alger Smith road, where l left
the horseo and proceeded to Two Har-
bors. Tie roads along the north shore
are muddy just now, and the trip by
team was rather rough and disagreea-
ble one, but managed to get through
all right without any m1snap,
Everything passed off il fine share
this winter back home. Last year we
were troubled with sickness for time,
as you probably remember, and it was
| neces sary to send help from Duluth, but
there was none of that the present sea-
son, and we had plenty of all sorts of
provisions to carry US through nicely.
| We shall be glad enough when navigation
opens up, however, for even the most
| loyal of us at times find it necessary to
pay visit to Duluth, and the boats
offer the easiest method of getting here.

OF WHEAT FIELDS
Secretary Wilson Declares North
west Farmers Must Reform
or Lose Heavily.
BY w. W. Jermane.

Washington, March %" Our great
wheat fields along the northern border
are refusing to grow wheat,o said
James Wilson, secretary of agriculture,
today, "and unless the American farm
ers change their methods of growing
this product, there will be large in
crease in the price of breadstuffs. The
evil day cannot long be postponed, not
withstanding the farmers Of the north
west believe they had solved the prob
lem by permitting the lands. to lie fall
low for one year and growing crop
Of wheat every other year.
cat present the average production
Of wheat to the acre is eight bushels,
while in Europe the farmers grow
thirty. Last year the American wheat
crop was sickly, and this indicates that
the land refuses to grow wheat any
longer on profitable basis. In, order
to save the wheat fields of the United
States, we have sent experts to the
northern part of Norway and Sweden
to. find legumes which will grow in cold
climates.
eff the wheat farmers Of the great
northwest expect to grow wheat at a
profit, they. must rotate their crops.
At present we have no leguminous
plants which will grow in the north
west that can be rotated with wheat.
With continued decrease in the yield
in the northwest, the farmers of Iowa,
Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska will begin
growing wheat again; but they will
not do 50 until they can get at least 81 q
bushel for it. -
