A significant feature of the early

The swinging over of the greater
part of the Progressive vote to the Re-

the Republican leaders, who, holding
Maine as a barometer, predict the
alignment will be followed throughout
the country in November.

Survey For Gunflint Road CompIete,

County Surveyor Axel Berglund
and his assistants returned on Mon
day night from the northern part of
the county, having completed the
survey of the new Gunf1int road to
the vicinity of the nineteen mile post
of the old road. The new route is a
big improvement over the old road
as there are no grades on it to COM
pare with the numerous hills on the
old road. The road leaves Maple
Hill settlement near the VIM. Ell
quist farm and continues northerly
quite distance east of the old road,
the climb over Pine Mountain being
entirely eliminated. The conditions
for road making on the new route
are very good The road will be
another popular route for tourists
as it penetrates a territory rich in
the beauties of nature.

Boy Scouts to Oruanize

Supt. M. R. Beebe is planning to
organize a troop of Boy Scouts in
this village. The purpose of such
an organization is to develop the
boys physically and mentally, to
make them better citizens at their
maturity. Scoutcraft includes in
struction in First Aid, Life Saving,
Tracking, Signalling, Cysling, Ma
ture Study, Seamanship, Campcraft,
Woodcraft, Chivalry and all the
handicrafts. No expensive equip
ment is required. All that is needed
is the out-of-doors, a group of boys
and competent leader.
The organization is a worldwide
one, and should be encouraged in
this community. Our boys are good
boys, but such an organization would
do much for making them better,
both for the present and the fu-
ture.

The showing of apples al'1't1}e, t1fe
County Fair last week was a sur
prise to everyone, including the
manager of the exhibit. A former
citizen of one of the best fruit-rais-
ing sections of Michigan, now resid-
ing in Cook county, is authority for
the statement that the first exhibit
OF apples in that county was not
half as good as the showing made
last week for Cook county. On the
South Shore, man was daring en-
ough few years ago to plant forty
acres in applee trees and his sanity
was questioned. He is reaping the
profits this year and those who ques-
toned his judgment at that time
have changed their views and there
are many orchards there in the maxi
ing now. We would like to see
more apple trees planted, also more
strawberry plants put out, and we
have no doubt that there will be
more attention paid to these things
in the future.

WILL OPEN MILL ON
RuCEsS POINT DEC. 1st.
Lumber Company Closes West Du-
'uth Plant for the Season.
May Move Here.

Before establishing a sawmill at
Cascade Lake or at Grand Marais,
the Alger Smith Lumber Company
will open their sawmill at Rice's
Point, in Duluth, about Dec. 1, and
ruin day and night shifts, according
to- John w. Bayly, secretary of the
Duluth and Northern Minnesota rail-
way company, yesterday. The mill
in West Duluth was closed this week
for the season.
mo decision has been made as to
where the mill is to be located" said
Secretary Bayly. 1T was the COM
pany's original plans to erect mil!
with a capacity of 100000 feet of
lumber daily, at Cascade Lake. This
lake, situated about 18 miles from
Lake Superior, has excellent facili.
ties. We are also considering a pro-
posed site in Grand Marais. Nothing
definite has been decided as to either
place.
1.-THE plant will employ about $50
men to shift. There are about
500,000,000 feet of standing timber
in Cook county, some of which is
owned by our company. This would
be sufficient to supply the new mill
for 10 years. We would rail our
lumber to Knife River, where it will
be loaded on boats for lower lake
ports.
The Rice's Point mill will probably
be moved to the site selected at
GRIND Marais or Cascade lake next
sujhmer. 1t will be run to it's full
capacity this winter here" said Sec
retary Bayly.
The Rice's Point mill has been run
ing in Duluth for more than a quar-
ter of century and if moved, the
company will seek to induce many of
the old employees to move to the new
mill site.-Duluth Herald.
If Grand Marais should be chosen
as the site for the sawmill, the AL
ger Smith Company will find that
the citizens of this village as we'll as
those Of Cook county will welcome
the1 industry anu cooperate with the
rG1aepany in every way possible, as
it will mean a great deal to the viii
age nd county.

matter of road building, comment
ing especially onsthe new roads and
the excellent maintenance of all the
roads.
The action of the Duluth Automo-
bile club and the County Board of
Lake County in expressing their in
terest in Cook county roads and
bridges which is evidenced by their
aid on the Pigeon River bridge is
gratifying to those interested in the
development of Cook county. North
eastern Minnesota will become popu-
larized to the tourists of America
when Duluth and St. Louis county
realize that in the natural beauties
Of Lake and Cook county they have
an invaluable asset in the boosting
of Duluth to the tourist trade, Of
the north shore. It is regrettable
that the part of the North Shore
Highway which lies in St. Louis
county is not the best part of that
road, which it should be when we
consider the wealth of the counties
through which it passes, but it is
hoped that before another season
passes we will see that road in the
condition it should be to conform to
the roads of Lake and Cook counties.

This national inquiry will have an
extraordinary wide scope, comprls-

The object will be to coordinate
all these carriers in such way, TN

importance in securing markets.
