500 PAYMASTER MAKING
HEADQUARTERS IN CITY
First Eighteen Miles of 500 Grade East from Plummer
Will Be Ready for Steel This Week.
Other Grading Progressing

four contractors working between
here and Lost River have nearly
completed their contracts and at the
end of next week the first eighteen
miles will likely be ready for the steel
gang.
This first of the week part of
Mr.. Higgins outfit arrived and the
remainder is expected to arrive
most any time. When the compile e'
outfit is here Mr.. Higgins will
have about three hundred men and
a hundred and fifty horses on the
job besides couple of steam
shovels. He has the contract for
the first twenty-six miles east of
Lost River and will have some of
the heaviest cuts and fills on the
line but as it is sandy country he
expects to work the most of the
winter. He has pitched camp in
Gully township and when all the
tents are up it makes quite an i'm
posing array. ..
A story in the Crookston Times
stated that a Crooksonite travelling
north of Bagley saw the combined
camps of the surveyors and con-
tractors at Gully he thought that
it must be a army invading this
country from Canada and hurried
back to spread the news. Although
he is having part of his outfit un-
loaded at Brooks as it will give him
shorter haul to Gully Mr.. Higgins
it is understood will make this his
headquarters while he is on the job.

The St. Paul Dispatch says of the
removal of County Auditor Wilmann
Governor Eberhart today decided
upon the removal of John Wilmann.
auditor of Beltrami county, from
office. The official order will be
issued in few days.
"Wilmann's troubles are due, it is
asserted, to incompetency. No dis
honesty, Governor Eberhart says,
applies. Friends of Wilmann made
desperate effort to save him, but
without effect.
Before going to Rochester to
UNDERGO the operation which re-
suited in his death, Governor John
son had prepared an order remov-
ing Wilma from office, and it IS
this order that Goverdor Eberhart
will now sign"
