DRUG BUSINESS CHANGES.
City Pharmacy Changes Hands and is
Now Owned by Foster Bros.

The past week has not been a
very good one for the drug bust
ness in this city, but nevertheless
there has been something doing
in this line just the same. The
City Pharmacy, which has be
longed to l.. l.. Monroe, began to
change owners early in the week
and while stock-taking was being
done it kept changing until now
it is owned by Joe Foster and Il.
f. Foster, who will continue the
business under the name of the
City Pharmacy, Foster Bros,
proprietors.
Both Of these people are well
and favorably known in this com
munity, having lived here for a
long time, and we predict for
them Il continuance of the line
of patronage which this house
has heretofore enjoyed.

look Three Games Of the Series


Virginia again showed Brady's
Colts that they were outclassed in
the series of the past week, taking
three out of the four games played
on the Roosevelt grounds.
Hake umpired the series, Virginia
winning Friday by a score of to 5,
repeating the dose on Saturday in
a ragged game by score of II to
IL, losing on Sunday in a good
game by a score of 3 to 2 and throw
ing the harpoon into the west enders
Monday, with Currie in the box by
a score of 2 too.
The Monday game was character
lied by good playing on either
side, but showed peradventure that
the west enders were simply out
classed.
In Fridays game Hart, the new
Virginia fielder, suffered badly
injured finger which will put him
ont OF the game for some time, al
though in Mondays game he came
to bat once.
The next series will be on the
Roosevelt Prounds with Eveleth,
commencing today. Four games
will be played.

4 Trite Retwt.

While considering the agricultur-
al school proposition at the last
meeting of the board of county
com pmissioners, Bernard Silberstein,
of the firm of Silberstein & Bondy,
Duluth, was among the speakers
who urged additional advertising
of the county's resources. Commits
sioner Ryan of Hibbing took ex.
ception to the stand of Mr.. Silber-
stein, saying thatin his opinion it
wac "roads not Advertising" that
the county most needed, averring
that the county was pretty we'll
known already.
But being a business man who
knows the value Of advertising Mr..
Silberstein gave the commissioner
a tip by the statement that while
the Silberstein & Bondy Company
wac we'll known, they would be for.
gotten in three weeks if they did
not keep on advertising.
And what is true of the Silberstein
4 Bondy Company in Duluth is
equally true in the smaller towns.

100000.
A dispatch from North Yakima,
where are a number of former Vir-
ginians, published in Seattle paper
under the date Of July 30th, has the
following to say of our former
townsman, ]. O.. .Shadbolt, and his
holdings in that rich new section:
J. o. Shadbolt, owner of a 3-acre,
bearing fruit orchard. in the Parker
bottom section ofthe Yakima valley,
has been offered 5000 for his prop
erty and has declined. Mr.. Shad-
bolt is said to have offered to part
with his land for 100000, but the
buyer declined. This orchard is
one Of the best ina section famous
for lts fruit, and this year is expect
ed to yield 1900 boxes of pears
alone.
The price, while apparently extra
ordinarily high, is not uncommon
around this city. On Mob Hill, land
in bearing orchards is selling at
$4,000 an acre, and in Fruitvale land
worth 500 an acre FIVE years ago is
now held by it's owners as worth
$1,000 an acre.

ndeEaVirginia date ,,ne in which
is made the statement that the Vir.
ginia Light & Water Company con.
template going to St. Mary's Lake
after their future water supply, is
characterized by Superintendent
Kennedy as canard, utterly with
out foundation.
1t is true that the company has
been saving of it's water supply,
and has ever been in readiness to
connect it's pumps with the lake in
case of necessity promoted by con-
flagration of more than ordinary
proportions, but has never been
forced to run aught but the purest
of spring water through it's pipes
for consumers use.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR fARkataS
Oae of the Best MoeketS q tho ANoeld
Is Convenient 10 This fertile

In these times of industrial de-
preston it is the inevitable tenden-
cy of the native, as we'll as the
foreign immigrant, to Geek the farm.
When our cities become congested,
it is then that "back to the land" be-
comes the saving clause in our
national life.
With this tendency at the present
time it seems that our departments
of immigration could succeed in
populating some of our extensive
areas of fertile land. Nowhere is
such an inviting field for those
seeking homes as in this part of
northern Minnesota. There ia some
land yet open to homestead yet so
far as desirable agricultural land
in any considerable quantity is con-
cerned that can be entered free. is a
thing of the past in every part of
the United States. Yet there is still
an opportunity for thousands of
homes to be had at nominal cost
in what is recognized as the finest
of valleys in the northwest, namely
the Rainy river and it's tributaries.
The vast area of north central
Minnesota known az the Iron Range
is great store house of wealth that
will make a populous country and
choice market for all time to come.
Why is it not reasonable to suppose
that this adjacent territory of pro-
ductive farms will supply this min-
ing and industrial section with all
the necessaries of life, including
grain, vegetables, hay, meat aud
dairy products. These are the
staples that neither time nor condi-
ton can eliminate from demand,
and it surely does not require the
eye of prophet to see that the man
with a few acres of tillable land will
find it source of remarkable profit.
The economy with which the settler
can begin operation and put him
self in the position of producer is
not equalled in any other place.
These are considerations which are
leading the present holders of land
to place a proper estimate on their
property. The urgent need of the
county is an additional increase in
the amount of muscle, brain and
cash to develope the farming in.
dustry. to an extent that will invite
other lines of business, especially
raffroads and other sa.eans of com.
munication that pufs~ the whole
world in tonch. That our part oi
the country has the resources to
warrant additional shipping facili
ties is evidenced by the fact that
other lines are projected this way
and when the possibilities of this
soil and climate are better under.
stood and our location and access
ibility become we'll known, then
may we expect to realize our desires
in the way of population and de
velopment. In the meantime il
should be the daily duty of every
one interested to stand up for, and
proclaim the greatness of a country
80 richly endowed with go much
natural wealth and one where thu
man of moderate means may make
a beginning that will pay him {
hundred fold on his investment

Spokane and Elsewhere.

On account of a combination OF
sugar interests at San Francisco re.
Gently the price of sugar has been
advanced so cents in this city, says

some time, but on account of a keen
competition between Honolulu COM
panies and California concerns the
price on the Pacific coast has been
kept down.
Now, however, comes the report of
a colossal sugar combination at San
Francisco, which has gained absolute
control of the sugar supply.
"A war of determination between
the sugar barons of the coast was
closed recently and the proverbial
hatchet was buried" asserts coast
report. 1.-The first act was to an
nounce an advance of 80 cents per
and later In the week
another advance of 10 cents was de-
clared."
Local retail prices are now quoted
at 1928 per cwt., cane sugar, and
$40 per cwt. beet sugar. Some of
the retailers continue to give IA
pounds for a dollar. but 1t is stated
that a raise is liable to be made.
