pended yesterday, on account Of
the wet weather. It is expected !
that q full crew Of twenty to
twenty five men will be kept
steadily at work from now on, 40.
soon as the pipe is all on the
ground. Owing to the light
digging necessary olay the pipe,
the work is progressing very.
satisfactorily, but it is possible
thata delay may again be CO.
casioned by the failure Of

take effect about October 1, and
is in line with the great majority

Northwestern Contemplating Building
Line Northward From B|ackduck,
Present Terminus.
DISTRICT MANAGER CARTER -
RETURNS FROM TRIP NORTH
Also Possibility of Extending Long Dis.
tance Line Eastward From
Cass Lake.

1t is among the probabilities
that the Northwestern Telephone
Exchange company, owner of the
local exchange, will extend it's
present line northward from
Blackduck, the present terminus,
to Big Falls, in the near future.
G. D. Carter, district manager
for the company, came over from
Crookston yesterday and went
to Big Falls last night for the
purpose of looking over the land
tributary to the line of the M. &
[. and ascertaining the conditions
relative to putting in poles for
the extension of the line. He re
turned to Bemidji this morning,
and assured the Pioneer he would
recommend to the company that
the line be extended to Big Falls.
Charles Swedback, formerly of
Bemidji, has the franchise for in.
stalling local telephone ex
change at Big Falls and he ex.
poets to have the system in work
ing order the first of next month.
With the building of the line
north from Blackduck, Big Falls
and intermediate towns will be
put in speaking connection with
the outside world through the
lnng.distanca sshell0 - - 80.
Mr.. Carter left this noon for
Bena, and will look over the
situation there with a view to
passing favorably or unfavorably
on the project of extending the
long-distance lines from Cass
Lake east through Bena to Deer
River 10 connect with the tele.
phone exchange at the latter
place. This would give service
east to Duluth from Bemidji.

FIsKE SUCCEEDS INGERsoLL.
Real Estate Agent Promoted to Posi-
 tion Latter Resigned.

Real Estate Agent Promoted to Posi-
 tion Latter Resigned.
 President Mellen of the New Haven road yesterday appointed Frederick C.. Fiske to the position of commissioner of real estate, right of way and taxes, to succeed Colin M. Ingersoll, who re- gently resigned to accept the position of chief engineer of bridge construc- tion for the city of New York. MT. Fiske has held the position of real es- tate agent of the road, and the ap- pointment comes as a promotion. The promotion takes effect at once.
 MT. Fiske's new position gives him charge of all the company's real estate, the main lines, but on the leased lines as well. He also has the same propo- sitions in his care for the Consolidated Railway company MT. Fiske is well qualified for his new duties, having been thirty years in the business of buying lands for railroads, and he is widely known as an expert in this line, He began this work by buying the right of way for the West Shore rail- road, which he did with but few con- demnation suits. He was instrumental in the purchase of other large pieces of property for railroad companies, when his ability in this line attracted the at tention of the late Charles P. Clark, president of the New Haven road. MT. Clark brought him to this road, and he has been here ever since, serving un- der three presidents, Messrs Clark, Hall and Mellen.
 The first important work that he did for the New Haven road was the pur- chase of the lands for the New Haven road for the big drawbridge that was thrown across the Thames river at New London. Following this some of his purchases include the four tracing of the New York division; the double tracking of the Shore line; the New Haven cut; the six track improvement O nthe Harlem branch; double tracing of the Naugatuck division, which in- cluded the expenditure of $1,000,000 in the city of Waterbury; the Bridgeport, Stamford and South NqrWalk improve ments, and the subway in the same city, which the road recently announc- ed it was to build; the Norwich and Worcester extension; double tracking of the Highlands; the double tracking of the Air line, and other similar prop ositions, too numerous to mention. An official of the road in speaking yesterday morning of MT. Fiske's pro- motion,. said that while he was q man of sterling worth, he probably spent more of the compsnys loney during his years ~ service, than any other of the various officials. He is an expens- i've man for the road to carry" said this official, 'as he has spent more than $50, ,000,000 of the eompany's money during his time. But I would like to say that If any other man was charged with the work that Fiske has done + would probably have been twice that sum disDoSed of.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
LONG SUIT ENDED BEFORE
 JUDGE WHEELER.

$3,O0O Damage Suit is Withdrawn-In-
 teresting Case Before Judge Thayer
 City Court Busy-Park Suit Set-
 tied.
 The case of Pasquale Valente, the builder, against Israel Weinberg, is ap- preaching an end. It has been on trial before Judge G. w. Wheeler, in the special term of superior court for two weeks. There are really two suits. In the other Valente is the defendant.
 The last suit bids fair to endure al moR4 as long as the one that is now drawing to a close. The reason for this prolonged litigation is a dispute over the building of dormitory in College street.
 valente wants $S,OOO for alleged breach of contract, asserting that the builder did not follow the plans and specifications. Weinberg claims that it cost him $7,5O0 to complete the work Valente had undertaken.
 The second suit is to foreclose on a mortgage given by the builder as an earnest that the contract would be faithfully performed.
 Attorneys Gilson and Hamilton were counsel for the plaintiff and Slade, Slade and slade for the defendant. The frs case ended yesterday afternoon and the second will be begun to-day.
