The purchasing committee pre-
scented a list OF supplies necessary

the ordering of supplies inasmuch as
it permits of the superintendent to
order them as they are needed. The
prices obtained will be for the sup
plies for the coming school year.
The chairman entertained the fol-
lowing motion: Moved by Mitchell

the first Of the week in that vicin-
ity investigating. Mr.. Capstick,
who knows q good soil when he>sees

can be drained and developed into
farms which will have no equal In
this section of the state. Blueber-

The soil of these swamp lands is
composed of sand and muskeg and
is considered the richest of produc.

These lands are within easy reach
of the big lake and from four to
five miles of the Duluth, Rainy
Lake & Winnipeg railway, thus maxi
ing short haul for the shipment Of
any Of the farm products which may
be raised in that section. The dis
lance by wagon road from that dis
trict to Virginia is from 10 to is
miles. and although at the present
time the roads are not of the best,
they are being improved by the coun-
ty commissioners, so that within the
next two or three years they will be
Of the best in the country. A con-
siderable amount of work has been
done on the roads this season and
they have been made into fairly good

improvement of these roads the
farmers in that section will be en-
abled to haul their farm products
