CONTRACT FOR
EXTENSION LET
P. Mcdonnell of Duluth Will
Build Rainy Lake Road
to the Border.

The contract for the extension
of the Duluth, Rainy Lake &
Winnipeg line north from Ashawa
to point about two and one-half
miles from international Falls
has been let to p. Mcdonnell of
Duluth. The contract includes
the grading, bridge construction,
track laying and ballasting and
calls for the completion of the
extension by June I, 1907, and is
said to involve nearly 100000.
A very large crew of men will be
necessary for the work, and pre-
parations for carrying on the
construction will begin at once.
Pether's Point is two and one
half miles east of international
Falls, where a bridge is to be
built across the river by the re-
Gently incorporated Rainy River
bridge company, which is backed
by the same people as are behind
the Rainy Lake road. The road
will connect with the Canadian
Northern, giving Duluth direct
rail connection with Winnipeg
and the Canadian Northwest.
The extension will give the Du-
luth, Rainy Lake & Winnipeg
road 95 miles of main line from
Virginia to the Rainy river. At
Virginia. it may connect with the
Missabe, Iron Range or Great
Northern lines, until it builds a
line of it's own into Duluth.

.ITASCA. COUNTY
PETITIONS
Continue to Cause the State
Officials Considerable
Trouble.

st. Paul, March 3.-A confer
ence was held in the governor s
Office regarding the petition filed
Wednesday for the division of
ltasca county into four counties.
The governor, State Auditor
lverson and Secretary Of State
Hanson were at the meeting.
They We're not certain whether
the provision Of the new code re
garding new counties would APP
ply or not as the petition was
filed before the code took effect.
This petition will be considered
with the others on March Is.
Under the old law, all the petit.
tons can be submitted to the
voters at one time, while under
the new code only one can be
voted upon at a time. If the
board decides that the old law
applies and submits all at once,
the signers of the international
Falls petition will try to estab-
llsh by law that only one can be
voted on at a time, while If the
board submits one petition the
signers of the later petitions will
probably go to law on the other
side of the question.
