rights to prove up on same by Oxa-

been in peaceful possession of the
same under his homestead entry
since 1903, having made many sub

The question came before the y

appetizing display in the show
window of Sodergren's Drug Store.
Included in this display are a couple

would make hair grow on the teeth
of a coon, nine oranges and piece
of an orange brapssn II foot in length
upon which they' grew, wild rice
and other vegetation and a sample
of the soil producing the various
things shown. A wild rose, picked

A. McCorison, of Duluth, who haa
been in the city for some time past
looking over the local situation
with an eye to business, has decided
upon the erection and installation
of sash and door factory at this
point, work on which will begin in
the near future and machinery for
which has, to an extent, already
been bought.
Connected with Mr.. McCorisou in
the enterprise will be Max Schoen-
fielder, of Chicago, also a mechanic
of ability, and the original plant al
planned will cost from 5000 to 5000
and will furnish employment to
from fifteen to twenty men.
Mr.. McCorison had contemplated
the erection OF the proposed plant
in Duluth, but happened to be sent
to Virginia to take charge of some
roofing work under contract by L.
r. Helbing & Co., and the central
location of this city on the range
and it's unequaled rail facilities,
together with the certainty of
growth and development of the sec-
ton, appealed to his keen business
Judgment and he decided definitely
that this city held out better in.
ducements for the enterprise than
did the city at the head of the lakes.
The plant will be located near the
mill of the Virginia Lumber Co.,
with which company Mr.. McCorison
has already made arrangements for
his lumber supply.
