h. Riley, With the American AgrieuImist,
Forecasts an Enormous Increase in
St. Louis County in the Next
Ten Years.

H. Riley, field man for the Amer
ican Agriculturist, who made the
range trip with the "Potato Special"
this week, gives expression to Du-
luth news-gatherer of his view of a
tremendous increase in the popula.
tion of St. Louis county and the
development of its dormant agri-
cultural resources in the following:
II look to see St. Louis county
have 100000 inha bitants at the end
of the next 10 years. consider that
a safe prediction. The development
of this division of the state has just
fairly begun. The agricultural re-
sources have been neglected be-
cause of the great mineral and tim:
Der wealth which the county con-
tains, but the future years are 60
ing to witness an amazing develop
ment of the land by farmers and
dairymen. St. Louis county ia one
of the most fertile districts in this
country for the doing of big things.
Duluth has a great future as a
manufacturing city, as we'll as a
transportation center of the first
magnitude. Duluth will ever be a
great market for the products of
the dairy and the farm. Farmers
who are engaged in developing
lands in this country need not fear
that their markets will fail them.
The range towns are good markets,
and they, too, are growing.
"The potato special, which is now
touring northeastern Minnesota, is
carrying the gospel of profitable
farming to many hundreds of set
tiers, who are eagerly receiving the
same. This special is being con-
Quoted on more successful plan
than have some other similar tours
in the past. Enough time is allow
ed to spend several hours in each
place. There is time tor the experts
to mingle with the farmers, and
converse with them, instead of
merely addressing them from the
platform OF car and then hurrying
away to the next stop. In this case
the experts are interviewed by many
of the farmers at each place regard
ing certain things which they wish
to become informed of. Much good
is accomplished in thi@ way. The
farmers everywhere that we have
gone are much interested. 1t may
be slow work TO clear some of this
northern Minnesota land, bat it is
very fertile and once man has
gOod-sized tract cleared he has
something that will yield him good
returns for the labor or money ex-
pended to put it in shape for cult.
vation. Duluth is interested, and
the railroads OF this territory are
interested in the development of
the lands. 1t is looking to the future
for large and permanent prosper
ity."

NIL LWiuKEE: JObbERS
TO VISIT RANCE
A Special Nine Coach Train will Bring
Cream City Hust|ers to Northern
=. Minnesota Early In June.

AT meeting of the Publicity
Committee of the Virginia Com.
mercial Club on Wednesday even
ing Secretary Archer reaG letter
from the Milwaukee Jobbers' Union,
stating that a party OF Cream City
hustlers were billed for a view of
the Mesaba early in June, Virginia
and day in the Fifth City of Min
nesota being in their itinerary.
The party will have special train
of nine coaches, replete with cafe
car and, sleepers, aud their schedule
brings them from Superior to Vir-
ginia at an early hour in the morn
ing, the day to be spent between
this city and Eveleth, the following
day to be devoted to Hibbing and
Duluth.
The Commercial Club will doubt.
less arrange for an informal recep-
ton to the visiting delegation. and
tor a proper exploiting of the busi-
ness possibilities of the Hub of the
Range, Virginia. Milwaukee whole
salers have not as yet come fully in
touch with the trade of this section,
but we believe fully they will find
it we'll worth cu1tivating, and the
bunch of hustlers who have assist
ed the extractors of the juice of the
hop in making Milwaukee famous
will recognize the fact, peradven
ture.
The committee also at this meet.
ing brought up the manner in
which the proposed new federal
building is being permitted to drag,
and instructed the secretary to ad-
dress Congressman Miller in behalf
of necessary action in the matter,
the present post-ofice quarters, in
view of the rapid growth of the city
and the need of improved service,
being recognized by all as in
adequate. The secretary will also
make inquiry as to the postal saw
ings system, with view to applica-
ton on the part of the Commercial
Club for the establishment of
branch depository at this point.
Another matter coming before
the meeting was a proposition for
system cf municipal advertising,
one idea advanced being the i1-
stallation of mammoth wheel as
an apsr to tire water tank, with
propefs1nscript1v14s,' aa;3~ ar,:,'her
was the installation of a system of
inscriptions attached to the White
Way standards along the street
Either would be exceedingly at
tractive, an electric sign on top of
the huge water tank being visible
from all range points, while the
notices on the White Way stand
ards would of necessity attract the
attention of visitors to the city and
could convey in few words many of
the more important offerings of
Virginia as business and residence
center.
In it's report to the Commercial
Club at it's next meeting, on April
9th, the Committee will also recon-
mend the calling for report of re-
ccipts and expenditures of the com.
mittee in charge of the Carnival
and Fourth of July celebration last
year, such report as yet not having
been submitted.

The firm has installed complete
electric lighting systems at Noun
tain Iron and at Keewatin; and has
built several extensions for electric
power concerns. They recently in.
stalled Magnetic street lighting
system at Hibbing, and made i'm
portant changes in the power sta-

the POTATO SPECIAL
ADDRESSES ENJOYED
A Large Audience Greets the Development
Addresses at CITY Hall Last Evening.

Notably among the large audience
in attendance at the meeting under
the auspices of the "Potato Special
at the city hall last evening was the
senior class of the Virginia High
School accompanied by Mrs. L. Bliss,
while large delegation of citizens
we'll filled the spacious room.
The Virginia High School is
particularly interested in agricult-
ure and agricultural development,
through the work instituted two
years since at the state forty farm,
adjoining the north side, it being
the hope of superintendent Bliss to
eventually interest the state to
point where provision may be made
for state experimental farm of
this section.
The meeting was addressed at
length by N. E. Chapman, on poul-
try and poultry raising, while A. B.
Hostetter, agricultural director of
the Duluth Commercial Club, in a
brief address spoke of the objects
of the visit and the interest desired
to be awakened in the possibilities
of the fertile northern section of St.
Louis county.
O. NJ. Olson discussed "Extension
of the Agricultural Schools" max
ing many suggestions as to the
needs of northern Minnesota in this
respect. II. A. Hopkins, another
speaker, confined his remarks in
great part to the need of co-opera-
tion among farmers as shippers,
and the possibilities of rich returns
from truck gardening.
The "Potato Speciar struck Vir-
einia at shortly after o'clock, CON-
ing here from Cook and Lake Juno
ton. where meetings had been held
during the day. At the former place
the men in: charge state they had a
most appreciative attendance, fully
one hundred and fifty of the hardy
pioneers of the Cook section being
present. From here the train went
to Hibbing.

.THE CHOCOLATE soIDIER'

q .r |.
 Of all the lighter works of the Eur opean composers that have come across the water to amuse and enter tain American audiences, none has reaped a success in any degree com parable to that of ssThe Chocolate Sol- dier'', the exquisite viennese opera by Oscar Straus based upon Bernard Shaw's satiric comedy of war and TO- nance in Bulgaria, Arms and the Man." It's exuberant melodies, radiant with freshness and beauty, lend har- mony to story told amid score of delightful comic situations, and peo- pied with the charming contradictory, ludicrous human types that Bernard Shaw draws with unerring pen
 The coming of s'The Chocolate Sol dier'' to this city is set for tonight, with matinee and night performances tomorrow. MT. Whitney has given a new grace and elegance to the pro- -duction this season by the sconstruc- ton of new scenery. and by duplicat- ing the costumes throughout, in order to maintain the high standard of ex- cellence which has for years been as- sociated with a Whitney production. In the Whitney Opera Company the star system is unknown, and this eliminates all weakness in the minor roles which is the shortcomings of most light opera companies. The high de- gree of talent which MT. Whitney in- sfsts upon in his companies is increas- ed by the fact that every member of the company presenting ''The Choco- late Soldier" can boast of a grand sopera training.
