FOR A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING,
$4,000 Bonds Voted, and a New
Site Selected.

There was very gooc attendance at
the school meeting last Saturday AFTER
noon and active interest was taken in
the questions there disposed of. The
question of a site for the proposed
new building was pretty we'll threshed
out, the fifty or more voters who were
present being given clear understand
ing of the situation. This is the way in
which it was presented to the meeting:
The old school site consists of six lots
in block 33 0wenty lots being full
block). The regulations require that
where practicable school grounds must
occupy a whole block: and that where
less is being used the remainder of the
block should be acquired. That part OF
block 33 not now owned by the district
would cost $4,000. The estimated value
of the present school property Is $4,000,
making the total cost Of block SO, if &C.
quired by the district, $4,000. The
school board, havings looked over the
ground carefully, was Convinced that
block "a, next north OF the present site,
is superior in every respect for school
purposes level, more elevated and
as centrally located. And being further
convinced that no other obtainable loca-
ton offers equal advantages or is at all
suited to school purposes, the board
secured prices on block 81 and reported
that it can be purchased for $4,000.
This amount deducted from the above
given total cost of block SO shows Diff
ference OF $1,800. $500, lie conceded to
be liberal estimate of, the value of the
old school building, if the, old site was
used. Thus, putting aside the other
more important considerations, the Sc
lection of block "a would! mean saving
to the district of 81 $780, :, Therefore, the
school board recommended that block
"a be selected: 49,,
There was some talk favorable to &C.
curing site in Harbor HAdd1tion, and a
motion was made to postpone the mat
ter until the annual meeting. But the
meeting could see no good reason for
delay, and by decisive majority the
board was instructed to: purchase block
81. =:
The board was also instructed to pro.
coed with tie erection of'the new school
building as soon as proceeds from the
bonds become available. The plans be-
ing favorably considered. are for con-
crete block building of eight rooms, at
an estimated cost of $4,000. $,
It was voted to issue $4,000 bonds for
this purpose. This vote was by ballot
and stood 36 for. the bonds and 19
against. -:

season; and upon the delivery of which
the operation of the mill very largely de-
ponds.
Unfavorable winds yesterday inter-
ferea somewhat with the sluicing of the
logs at the dam, but this is only minor
obstacle, easily overcome. A crew of
thlrty.fve men were scattered along the
river to guard against jams and keep
the logs floating. During the day jams
formed in the meadows on the upper
part of the river a few times, but these
we're quickly broken by dynamite and a
steady procession of logs was kept float
ing into the boom at the river mouth,
which was held in place by the tug Cros-
by. With the exception OF the slight
damage done by dynamite, the logs came
through in good condition.
Unusual public interest was manifest
cd. All day yesterday citizens in large
numbers trailed the river banks, watch
ing the experiment., and in the minds
OF not few of these same watchers feel
ings of skepticism and doubt were forced
to give way to admiration of the sagacity
and the enterprise of the man who faith
cred this idea OF utilizing the Devils
Track for driving and booming purposes.

timents; &. J. Johnson, who spent the
day along the river, appeared as lutte
concerned as the casual observer.
Next to johnson, the one whose name
was freely coupled with. the peoples
compliments yesterday is Barney Kelly,
who has, since it's inception, had charge
of the work Of Improvement. ...

=: THE WORK AT GUNFLINT
Handicapped by Want of Good Wagon
Road. r. J. Kerr Talks.


r. j. Kerr, of the North American Iron
company, Chicago,returned to the village
Monday from trip to Guntlint. As is
we'll known. his company is heavily inter-
ested in the iron properties in that region
and his frequent visits there is IN con-
nection with the work of testpitting
and exploring that is now being started
in good earnest. That there Is mineral
there in immense quantities is already
we'll established, but is there paying
quantity of the marketable kind? The
North American proposes to settle this
question, and, with this IN view money
will not be spared to prosecute to the
end the work now commenced.
Mr.. Kerr says there will be large
amount OF supplies used and good deal
of travel back and forth in connection
with the work. They are badly handi-
capped by poor transportation facilities.
He suggests that it would be good bust
ness policy for the authorities to give
some attention to tho further improve
ment of the wagon road from here to
Gunfint. He made the trip over this
road. At this end it is in excellent con-
dition. and 1t s.possible to drive as far
as the A.miie post. but wagon traffic be-
yond that point is out OF the question.
.Fhe latter part of the trip was made
horseback. His company will purchase
the bulk of it's supplies in Duluth, and
these will be shipped in by way of Port
Arthur. But the item of emergency
supplies will be of some Importance and,
Mr.. Kerr says, it would be preferable to
buy these in Grand Marais. it it was
possible to haul them in from here.
The improvement of this road would be
generally beneficial, and not Of least im-
poriance is the aid it will give to the
general development of the country to
the north.
In conclusion, Mr.. Kerr offers these
suggestions: If mines are opened up
at Gunfnt a railroad must be built to
bring the ore to the Lake. Will such
railway run to Two Harbors? or, will it
come to Grand Mara1s? Would not the
establishment of good highway at
least have tendency to bring it in this
direction and make Grand Marais the
shipping point for the output of such
mines.

MacarOni Makes
Strong Flour

Macaroni wheats are variously
known as flint, goose, wild goose
iroantka, arnantka, aronetka
kubonka. Nicaragua, durum etc.
Rotanically it is known as triti-
cum durum while common wheat
rs called triticum vulgare. It is
a tall bearded strong growing
variety of wheat which has US
Mally given heavy yields of grain
from six to ten bushels more than
fife and other varieties of com
mon hard wheat. The grains of
dUrum wheat are usually very
hard and CLASSY sometimes rath-
.er transparent yellowish white
an color occasionally inclining to
reddish and proportionally rath-
er long.
The fact that the berries of
1nacaroni wheat are flinty and
amber colored throughout, gives
some persons the impression that
it should certainly be classed as
hard wheat. In this case the
term hard is used to indicate a
milling quality and means that
in milling operations TIE bran Of
hard wheat is tough and separ-
7ates readily from the flour, leav-
ing it clear so that it will make
white bread. While the bread
made from durum wheat is nutri.
tious and possibly more whole
some it does not make bread Of
a fashionable color and texture
according to miilers who grind
high priced brands.
It's growth in North Dakota
has passed the experimental
stage. It has come to stay and
will become a staple bread wheat
in addition to its use for macar-
oni.
NJ. A. Carleton cerealist of the
U. S. department Of agriculture
says: THE idea that these
Wheats cannot be successfully
used for bread has never yet
been shown to be more than as
sumption. Several mills in this
country have successfully ground
them and in southern Prussia
where milling has developed tc
high degree of perfection it is
no longer an experiment. In that
region durum wheat mas become
actually the most popular fol-
bread making though it is us
ually mixed with a small per
cent of ordinary red wheat be
fore grinding. !"
