Closed the Contract.

Grand Forks Herald: A. R..
Erickson of Rosby has closed a
contract with the city of East
Grand Forks by which he is to
supply the city with 500 cords Of
wood for the electric light plant.
Mr.. Erickson will ship three car
loads at once and if the same
proves satisfactory he will ship
the remainder of the contract at
convenient intervals during the
winter. He made a very low
price on the wood and the pur-
chasing committee believes it Sc
cured a bargain. The Grand
Forks Lum Der company will not
furnish the city with any more
wood after Feb. 1,soit was neces-
sary to secure a supply else
where.

TRAIN WEECK AT
SOUTH BEMIDJI
Three Cars Of Coal Crash
Into Logging Train.-Eight
Cars Derailed.

The Minnesota & international
yards at South Bemidji was the
scene of a train wreck about 3
o'clock this morning, when three
cars loaded with coal crashed in
to passing logging train. The
result of the affair was that the
three coal cars together with five
of the cars of the logging train
were derailed. None of the
train crew was injured.
Men employed at the station
where coal is loaded onto cars
we're at work attempting to
"pinch" several cars ahead so
that they could be loaded. They
failed in the effort and detached
three of the cars which had al
ready been loaded. The three
cars detached, upon being re
leased from the others, started
down the inclined track upon
which they were standing, with
the result that they struck the
logging train in the middle. A
wrecking crew is at work clear
ing the tracks today.

LUMBER Is
ADVANCING.
- - a q -.
Wholesale Prices Have Ad
Yanced From 81 to $1.5O
Since Jan. |.

Those who are contemplating
doing very much building the
coming spring will be interested
in an advance of from 81 to $1.5O
N the price Of nearly everything
in the northern pine list by the
wholesalers since the first of the
month. Piece stuff and fencing
are S1.5O higher on lists of
northern pine manufacturers
and boards of all lengths and
sizes are ST. over the former lists.
While the retail price has not
been advanced as yet, there is no
question but what it will be adj
vanced in the course of very
few days.
The stocks of all the big saw
mills are badly broken, the de
mand having been excellent all
last summer and continuing till
late in the fall. A brisk demand
is also assured for the early
spring as building operations
throughout the northwest
promise to be more active than
for several years past. This
means that the saw mills will be
run at their full capacity from
the moment logs are available
day and night till the season
closes.
The advance is declared by
manufacturers to be inevita BILE
under the conditions. The re
port of invoices taken Jan. 1
shows less lumber on hand than
year previous, and the demand
this month has been unusual for
mid winter.

FIGHT MAY .
BE ARRANGED
Charles Cutler of Cass Lake
to Meet Kerry Kid
of Superior.

It is rumored that, Charles Cut
Ter, the heavyweight pugilist who
was a resident of Cass Lake for
a year or more, and until about
three months ago, is arranging a
glove contest with ''Kerry Kid, .
a pug living at Superior who has
something of reputation in the
scrapping line. Cutler and the
sKid" met at Cass Lake last win
ter, and Cutler was counted out,
after having received anything
but fair treatment at the hands
of the referee, a resident of Su-
perior, who allowed the ''Kid" to
fight in any old manner he chose,
while he hampered Cutler in
every way possible. Cutler has
made almost every kind of a pro
position to his opponent, since
the Cass Lake fight, in order to
get a return match, but has not
been successful, until nova At
that fight, Cutler was not in good
condition, and there is several
kinds of money at Cass Lake that
would be wagered on Cutler, if he
and the "Kid" come together
again, under conditions that are
fair and impartial. Cutler is now
a brakeman on the Great North
ern, running west from Grand
Forks, and is in excellent condi.
ton. The exact date for the fight
has not been set, but it will be
pulled off in Superior, within the
next two months.

Final Proof Held Tn.

Charles S. Weeks, whose final
proof upon a homestead near
I'enstrike was held up by the
officials at Washington because
OF the failure Of a special agent
Of the interior department to
appear at and render a report of
a hearing for the purpose of
cross examination Of the ap-
picant for the proof, set for Nov.
10, 1905, has retained the services
Of a B e mid il attorney to
straighten out the tangle. Weeks
made filing upon the land April
q, 1899, and proved up Dec. 10,
1904. On account of some tech
nicality he was notified to appear
at the Office of Clerk of Court
Rhoda on Nov. 10, 1905, to answer
the questions put to him by the
special agent relative to the
proof. Weeks appeared, but the
special agent failed to put in an
appearance and as a result the
department has never received d
report on the hearing. Less
than three months now inter.
vene before the seven years
allowed him from the date OF
filing in which to make his proof
expires.
