VIRGINIA LUMBER COMPANY
SELLS CANADIAN HOLDINGS.

A deal which involves many mil
lions of feet Of standing timber and
nearly two millions Of dollars has
been consummated between the Vir-
ginia & Rainy Lake company of this
city and the Thomas Shevlin estate,
whereby the latter takes over all the
timber holdings In Canada of the for
mer company. The timber lies of to
the east of Fort Frances, Ont, and is
tributary to the Seine river and Rainy
Lake. and to the Canadian Northern
road. 1t will be delivered by water,
it Is presumed, to the Shevlin saw
mill at Fort Frances. The Virginia
and Rainy Lake company had two
camps working on this tract last win
ter, cutting timber that had been
scorched by fire the summer before
1t is understood that this Is sold to
the Shevlin estate, together with the
standing timber.
This deal has its interesting
phases. Before the late Thomas
Shevlin died he was disposed to sell
out his mill at Ft. Frances and tim.
Der holding In Ontario, and the Vir.
ginia and Rainy Lake company was
a prospective buyer. In fact the
Virginia and Rainy Lake company
had an option on the property and for
time it was expected that the deal
would be closed. Some obstacles
arose over the proposition and the
Virginia and Rainy Lake company al
lowed the option to lapse. And now
the Shevlin people have turned
around and bought out the Canadian
timber holdings of the other com
pany.

whether or not the provisions Of the
corrupt practices act as passed by the
special session Of the legislature ap-
plies to the school election in the
Independent District of Virginia or

Under the provisions of the act no

The provisions of this act, when

Market IS 4 SUCCESS
President Lister Of tho vlrgilia Conner
eial Club Says i Is WsHh While.

President F. E. Lister of the Vir-
ginia Commercial club, who is aleo
range commercial manager for the
Mesaba Telephone company, was a
Hibbing visitor yesterday, and says
that the public market established
at Virginia last year has demon
strated itself q fruitful agency for
the upbuilding of the agricultural
industry in the vicinity of Virginia,
says the Hihbing Daily Tribune.
The Virginia Commercial club
has been taking good deal of in
terest in the farmers and it finds its
work is bringing results. Last fall
the public market was opened with
a by farmers day which brought a
large number of visitors to the city.
They were entertained az the guests
of the Commercial club and given
general 4 ood time.
During the winter the club circu-
lated literature bearing on the agri.
cultural possibilities of the country
in that section aud - a resuit u has
induced q number of new settlers
to come to that section. Mr.. Lister
is of the opinion that few of the
Commercial clubs activities have
been better directed, and it's efforts
along this line are to be subs:an-
TALLY increased in the near future.
He is also of the opinion the Hib-
bing club will hud any efforts it
puts forth ia that direction will
bring results. Mr.. Lister will be a
booster for the county fair to be
held here next month.

Attention Farmers!

Drouth, crop failures, dead mead
ows and the loss Of seeding last
spring are the legitimate sources Of
high prices, Until our meadows are
again established, three to four
years hence, you may reasonably
expect the highest prices for hay and
resultant crops to prevail 1t is
maniiestIy an advantage to grow
products having the highest pos
siblc market values and the grass
crop looks best for 1912
While grass seeds look high, they
really never were cheaper because
hay, relatively, is much higher,
Your cost for seed may be 81 per
acre more than formerly but your
income from hay has increased at
least $l5 to $50 per acre, Grass
seed will be the best investment YOU
will make this year The best index
to a market are grass seeds they
are cheap only when a market is
already gluttcd, Remember it is
reckless to gamble with seeds, Buy
with knowledge, don't speculate.
When a cowboy ropes and ties a
steer and brands him with a red.hot
iron, he does it to identify the steer,
We do not brand seeds that way,
but we print the brand on the bag
so tuat YOU can identify Star Brand
seeds We analy2e and gcrminate
all grass seeds under this brand and
you will find our signed Certificate
of Purity with every bag, We do
this to protect the purchaser, for
identification, The only analyzed
seed with q purity certificate in the
market is Star Brand, Its only
rival is Star Brand The prices will
probably be higher when the de
mand begins; seeds are scarce, buy
early, Ask your dealer,
