E*P0T GANGS" ARE
THRIVING NOW
Five Found Sleeping In Local
Box Cars Ordered to Leave
City.

Five dusty wanderers from the
"Jungle'' crews that are holding forth
along the line of the Canadian Nor
thern, between here and the Canadian
border, drilled into Virginia yesterday
inspected the white way, observed the
fine pavements, the kind-hearted
house wives and the absence of many
dogs4and decided this was fine place
to camp.
When the saloons closed at II
o'clock last night the wanderlusts
sought a nights repose in some box
cars that were stationed on one of the
Canadian Northern sidetracks. There
they we're found "purring" at an early
hour this morning by the police and
were marched to headquarters where
charges of vacrancy were preferred
against them. They pleaded guilty
in municipal court this morning and
were ordered to leave the city or go
to Duluth and serve time on the work
farm. Not being over anxious to learn
anything about agriculture they de-
cided to leave the city.
"There are pot gangs all along the
line of the Canadian Northern" said
a we'll known railroad conductor this
morning. "They catch fish, steal
chickens and beg what bread they can
from the farmers. They sleep in hay
mows and sheds, in fact anywhere
where they can be secure from the
wind and dew. They are the happiest
people in the world, according to their
way of thinking. They sing, laugh
md tell stories and are as free from
:orrows and cares as a dog is from
feathers"

w. T. Bliss, we'll known farmer,
who resides at Lake Junction, a small
station on the Canadian Northern line
about five miles from this city, is in
the city today receiving treatment for
an infection Of his arm, caused by the
prick of a pin. When the wound first
began to tester he did not give the
matter serious thought but as it grad
ually grew worse he decided to come
to the city for treatment. Mr.. Bliss is
most enthusiastic over the crop out
look for 1914 and is especially pleased
with the good showing his garden is
making. He says that he will sell
all of his produce in Virginia where
he has always found a ready market

The hustling little village of Noun
tain Iron is at present experiencing a
boom in the line of improvements. A
large crew of men and teams are at
work grading the streets in prepar-
aticn for the paving of the same.
Crcosote blocks will be laid upon
eight blocks in the village and this
improvement will cost about $40, 900.
If the work on the eight blocks is
completed in time it is the intention
Of the village authorities to begin the
paving of five more blocks with the
same kind of material. Mountain
iron has been forging ahead, of late,
and the population of the village has
been on the increase for some time.
there is live bunch of wires over
there and they are Going all in their
power to made 4 modern and we'll
regulated village.
"This is just the time for making
provements for the village" said
Village Assessor Lawrence Peltier
when in the city last night. "Ihere
are considerable Number Of men
out of employment right now owing
to the mines Of the district having cut
their working crews, and the improve
ments being made at this time give
those seeking work an opportunity to
get something to do on our streets
until such time as the iron market
demands the resumption of work in
the mines of the village. If all towns
of the range would follow the suit of
Mountain Iron there would be few
idle men during the quiet times in the
iron and logging industries of this
