ferent suburbs of our city that are
eventually distined to make Duluth
famous" we shall be governed in
our selection by an imaginary orbit
corresponding in its course with the
movement of the Sun.
Last week we discoursed somewhat
upon the advantages and facilities Of
a home on Duluth Heights. In con-
formity with the rule above stated
we shall this week give our attention
to Woodland, and shall endeavor to
answer such questions relative there
to, as would naturally be asked by
prospective buyer, of moderate or
even limited means, who was seeking
a site in which to establish a home.
It Is of course, not within five minutes
walking distance of Superior street
and Third avenue west, and there
fore the first question that naturally
arises concerns
Transportation Facilities.
We are not given to exaggeration,
and feel certain that those who have
travelled much, will bear us out in
the assertion, that Duluth has as good
street car service as any city on the
American continent, or on any other
continent for that matter, and Wood
land is a partaker in that service.
During times of unusual attractions,
such as circuses, immense political
gatherings and such like, cars may
be crowded enough, but under ordi-
naryl circumstances the accommoda-
tons to and from the suburb are
abundantly ample both as to seating
capacity and frequency of cars. There
is no deviation from this rule either
in winter or summer
The Climate.
The climate in winter is just a
trif1e nnilder than in those localities
| exposed to the rigorous breezes from
Lake Superior. At a distance of
| about mile or better from Lake Su-
perlor. range of high hills parallel
the northerly line of the lake, and
Woodland being in the valley, on the
| receding side of the hill, farthest from
=; the lake, it is absolutely free from
the fury Of lake storms. The same
causes which mitigate the severity of
! it's winters, contribute to render the
temperature of its summers less ar
| dent and more moderate than in the
! city proper.
The Soil.
The soil of this locality is peculiar
~ fertile. In productive properties its
quality cannot we'll be excelled. We
are not sufficiently versed in agricul-
! tural chemistry to give the constitu-
ent elements of the soil, but visit
to the suburb and a survey of it's mag
nlhcent gardens during the growing
and harvesting season will convince
the most skeptical that Woodland Is
prominently the place for the me-
cnanlc who desires to keep down the
cost of living by raising all the pota-
toes and vegetables he can use in his
family and more; and as for "hen
fruit the possibility of attainment in
that line is only limited by individual
preference. Faithful "Biddy" will
| do as good, if not better execution,
In winter than in summer, If only
given reasonably. warm quarters, and
the commercial value of her product
doubles itself in winter.
| Bargains Available.
From every conceivable standpoint
there is no more desirable resident
property within the limits of the CITY
than can be had at Woodland. There
are many opportunities in the market
1or securing home sites in this SUBJ
urb at very reasonable prices, but the
acre traces offered by c. Francis
Coleman, whose offices are at 421
Manhattan Bldg, are probably the
| cheapest and best on the market and
the terms Of payment are so easy as
to be within the reach of all.
