NO LUMBER TRUST BENG eORMeD
Attorney Wosbburo Gives Stateooot
Relative to MleQed Combiaatio0
Of 0iQ loterest9.

Relative to Alleged Comb;aatioa
Of Gig laterests.
While the Duluth morning pape,
for several weeks worked assidu'
ousiy in the attempt to form the
biggest lumber trust ever conceived
with the Weyerhaeuser, Hines and
Cook & O'Brien interests as the
backbone of the deal, Attorney J. l.
Wsshburn finally came to the rescue
Of the daffy reporters on Monday
with a plain statement of the nego.
tiations in ,vproKrese, the eta teuenl
of Mr.. Vsahh,l1n "a spublished in
the Duluth Evening Herald being
as follows:
"Icannot talk much a bout ma tiers
in which am engaged profession.
ally. 1t is, perhaps. due however,
that say that all the talk about a
trust is unwarrauted and mislead-
ing, aud many of the published
statements are incorrect.
~rhe simple fact is that the w Weyer-
haeuser people have about the same
amount of timber north of township
81 that the Rainy Lake people have,
aud the tracts are 50 iute1miuRled
that numbering operations can be
carried on more economically, and
with less risk of fire, if the tracts
are all held in one ownership and
operated together. Mr.. Hines and
Messrs. Cook and O'Brieu have also
a tract over the border that has a
smaller amount of timber upon it
that was not owned by the Virginia
& Rainy Lake company. The com.
pany is to be sufficiently enlarged,
30 as to unity these three bodies of
timber, and provide some addition
al cash capital. Mr.. Hines is a great
lumber merchant, and has avenues
for the disposition of a large amount
of the manufactured product. The
Duluth, Rainy Lake 4 Winnipeg
Railway company ia not to be in the
ownership of the iurnbe company,
will be an independent line of rail.

Has Beea Effected.
A letter received by the city editor
of the Duluth Evening Herald and
given publication in Mondays Issue
from Donald u. Mann, vice pres
ident of the Canadian Northern
Railway, is authority for the state.
ment that the Canadian Northern
Railway has bought the Duluth,
Rainy Lake & Winnipeg system aud
will take over and operate it short.
ly. Continuing, Mr.. Mann states
that regarding the extension of the
line to Duluth, he is not in position
to say when the line will be extend
ed, but significant fact in this re-
spect is the putting out of survey
ing crews on the route at the pres
ent time.
The terms of the sale or rconsolida.
ton are not made public, but it will
be pleasing news to the many
friends of w. Fl. Cook to know that
he practically dictated the terms of
the consolidation aud transfer and
that a substantial interest in the:
line remains in the Eands of the
original promoter.
With the new link the Canadian
Northern will have a direct line
from the western Canada markets
to the Lake Superior port, making
of the line one of promising i'm
portance. In addition to this fact,
1t is understood terminal grounds
have been obtained for dockage in
Duluth, and the hauling of ore over
the new line will not be outside the
pale OF possibility when the road is
completed.

Bull DING OF GILBERT ROAD
City Council Accepts Profile Of New
Road and Appropristes $500
towards It's Buitdinu.

Responsive to the petition of the
Commercial Club the city council
which took up the matter of a road
to the new town of Gilbert a week
ago, instructing the city engineer
to make a survey of winter road
10 the town to the east, the profile
of this survey being submitted by
the engineer at the Tuesday eve
ming meeting and duly accepted
and an appropriation OF $500 author,
lied by the council for the prelimi.
nary expense of cutting out and
building a winter road.
The new road will be about four
miles in length, and leaving the city
! proper near the south end of Mesa ba
avenue will continue inside the city
limits for the entire distance until
the village limits of Gilbert are
touched.
While the plan at present is for
but temporary winter road, the
thoroughfare is destined TO be i'm
proved with the coming of summer
and good highway made of the
same, the prospective trade between
the two points not only making the
expense Legitimate one but one
demanding the outlay.
A communication from Superin-
tendent Hawkins, of the Oliver Iron
Mining Company. asking for the
furnishing of fire protection by the
the city to the newly built Oliver
location on the Shaw property ad.
joining the Missabe depot on the
east, was presented and read to the
council, and referred to the com
mittee on fire and fire protection for
report at the next meeting. What
action may be taken in this matter
is problematical, as the location
is outside the city limits, but the
business OF the request is apparent
from the fact the location contains
some twenty new homes and is i'm
mediately adjacent to business
property.
A permit to remove house from
the Commodore location to lot 9 of
block II. was granted upon the
usual formalities being attached.
+. G. Whiting petitioned the coun-
Gil for permit for the use of
certain portion of the walk in front
of his Central avenue property for
the installation of an outside stair
way into his basement. This matter
was referred to proper committee.
The city clerk reported the new
city scales to be in working order,
and upon suggestion of the clerk
the city attorney was instructed to
prepare for the mex, meeting res.
olution designating city weigh
master and the fees for such ser
vice.
The new ice rink at the Roosevelt
Park was reported to have been
flooded and now in fair condition,
and the co,nmitte was instructed to
look after the installation of neCes-
sary light. The mayor will also
appoint a special police officer to
have charge of this place, which
will be closed evenings at 800
O'Clock curfew.
The committee on city property
was instructed to obtain plans aud
specifications for proposed altera-
tions in the city Jail, looking to the
abandonment of the present Jail
quarters on more enlarged and
more sanitary plan in the old fire
hall room.

"The transaction, when worked
ont, will be of great benefit to Du-
luth. Where different properties
are to come into one ownership,
there are of necessity many details
to arrange. Beyond this, there is
nothing different about this matter
in principle than the simple acquisi-
tion9of additional property by the
Virgini. 4 Rainv Lake company.
There 10 no trust. no consolidation

Snow Wisdotv Weat Up in flame.
Through the inadvertant throw
ing of lighted cigarette stub into
the chow window of the T. w. Luck
pool hall on Saturday afternoon the
work of art which Mr.. Lusk had
prepared to lure the attention of
his customers to his handsome dis
play of smookers' goods went up in
flame, the schedule time of the fire
being beaten by several notches.
But through the quick work of
George Simons, who happened to
drop in at the moment, the incipient
