a host Of warm friends here who
would give much to see him in
that office. 1t is believed that
several Of the large range towns
would support him heavily. If
Meining and McKercher get into
too stiff a mixup, it is not impos-
sible that the plain people, the

Out in New Duluth, Noble

So far as known, not another

Greene and, if he does pass along
the office Of county attorney to
Mason NJ. Forbes, it will be to put

to congress.
Judge Of Probate Gilpin has do
mated so heavily to the Red Cross
and a recent card Of thanks in
the Labor World that he certainly

What Andrew Anderson, the
county surveyor who never yet

but it is reported that Eddie Far
rell, a brother Of Bert Farrell and
an engineer with thirteen years

Anderson for the office of county
surveyor.
When it comes to state politics,
the Rip-saw has nothing authentic.
Certain republicans state that, just
at present, the straws indicate that
the republican machine candidates
will be as follows, viz:
Governor, Jake Preuss; state
auditor, Odin Halden or some one
stronger with the Southern part
Of the state; U. S. senator, j. A.
A. Burnquist.
This, understand, is considered
a possibility so far as the present
machine is concerned.
What the democratic move
ments, the Non-partizan League or
even Victor L. Power will do to
the medicine-makers in the state
capitol building, cannot be defin-
itely told at this time.

MAIN RANGE HIGHWAY
SOON Will BE- PAVED
Townships and Villages Have Started Work on a
Hard Surface Thoroughfare All the Way
From: HibhiEg to Virginia.

bling to Chisholm, but awaited the
arrival Of an expert to superin!
tend the work, is now held up
awaiting the arrival of a car OF
asphalt shipped from Chicago ten
days ago. The work will COM
mence the day the car arrives and
will be pushed right through to
completion. While it was the
first intention Of the Balkan town
board to pave this road to width
of but sixteen feet, it is now
thought that material enough IS
on hand to lay an eighteen foot
pavement, which will be done. The
balance Of this highway, about a
mile and half in length, to the
village limits of Chisholm, will BID
paved as soon as the frost is out
Of the ground next year.
That portion of the highway
from Chisholm to Bull which is
within Balkan township, is being
widened to thirty feet and will
be graveled this fall and next
spring will be paved to a width
Of twenty feet.
Bull is already making good
Roadway in the paving of the
highway which cuts through the
village on the south. This work
will be entirely completed this
fall.
Great Scott started yesterday to
assemble material for the paving
work they propose to start on and
by the first of the week it is ex-
pected that the first mile Of Tar
via will be started. Great Scott
is starting the paving work at the
east end of the township and does
not intend to lay more than one
mile of the paving this year. Ac-
cording to one of the township
officials, however, enough rock
will be crushed this fall to take
care of all the rest of the road and
the balance Of the paving will be
finished as early merit year as pos
sible.
Mountain Iron surprised the
range with it's levy of 100000 for
meet year but it is explained that
great portion of this money will
be expended on the highway to the
west of the village. This village
will start paving with both con-
crete and Tarvia for distance of
a mile to the east of the village
and the work will be completed
this year.
The City of Virginia, so it is un-
derstood, will pave the highway
where it passes Olcott park and
the cemetery and connect with the
city pavement.

except forty acres on the east side
of Longyear lake. The townsite
office at 30S West Lake street was
included and will be continued as

Mr.. McNiven already has started
a sale Of some of the newly ac-
quired property. Lower prices on
many of the lots will be made
which will'greatly stimulate build:
ing, ownership Of homes and rea;
growth of Chisholm. In the past,
prices on some of the property
Just transferred were prohibitive,
thereby retarding development.

VIEWED ORE PRODUCTION.

J.R. Finlay, United States min
ing bureau mining engineer, Wis
tied Hibbing early last week in
company with J. A. O. Preus, state
auditor, on tour of the Mime
sofa iron ranges to observe the
iron ore production conditions.
In addition to visiting the mines
of the Hibbing district, it was
planned to make a tour of other
mines on the Mesaba range and
the Vermilion and Guyana range
properties.
F. A. Wildes, Hibbing, state
mine inspector, accompanied the
Messrs. Finlay and Preus on the
tour. .s- -z. ..--

When it comes to county roads,
many. who should know we'll
whereof they speak, declare that
the Mesaba range towns and
townships have highways far SUI
perior to those leading directly
into Duluth. The reasons for this
will not be discussed here but the
roads up there are like boulevards,
in many cases and now comes a
genuine movement for the pave
ment of a main range highway on
the rich Mesaba range.
The townships Of Balkan and
Great Scott and the villages of
Bull and Mountain Iron this week
started on road paving work, that
by the time it is completed next
fall. will give practically an Tin
broken stretch of hard surface
highway form the Village Of Hib-
bling right through to the City of
Virginia, says the Chisholm Trl-
bune- Herald of September Z.
All villages and townships con-
cerned in the paving work seem
to have had the matter under con-
sideration for some time and in the
case of Bull and the Town of Bal
kan the paving of the highway is
actually under way.
Chisholm, with about a mile and
three quarters of the highway
within the village limits, is the
only village that has not taken
any action, so far, on the question
Of paving, but there seems to be
little doubt that Chisholm
will take care Of her portion of
the road and have it completed
before next fall.
The ownership of about one
mile Of highway is being disputed
by the Village of Bull and the
Town of Great Scott. Both con-
tend that it is the duty Of the
other to pay the cost Of paving.
This is a portion Of the road ex-
tending east from the Balkan
township line to the village limits
of Bull and it is in a condition re-
curing immediate attention. The
mayor of Bull and the chairman
of the town board Of Great Scott
were both out of town this morn
ing, when an effort was made to
reach them by telephone. Although
both sides seem firm in their de-
termination that the other should
do the work, it seems certain that
an. early understanding will be
reached.

been ready for two months to start

ept gossip as to state politics,
Some Of it probably is very loose
and unreliable. But there are
manifold possibilities in matters
political and it never does harm
to turn every situation upside
down and inside out.
Here's what G. NJ. Atkinson has
to say in the last issue of The Me-
saba Ore about Victor L. Power,
Hibbing's aggressive little giant
The talk Of Victor L. Power for
governor seems to be gaining vol
ume instead Of decreasing, and it
is discordant note in the ears
Of the political bushwhackers of
the state-they are in fear and
trembling, and there must be a
cause for it.
Meantime, the pressure being
brought to bear Oh Mr.. Power is
becoming more definite, but he
continues to say nothing.
The Ore has no more inside dope
on what Mr.. Power intends to do
in the premises, or what he might
do in the event, etc., etc., etc., than
you have, but it is our candid
opinion that he will not become
an independent candidate for gov
ernor.
He is republican and, if he
wants to be governor, he will 60
at it through. that political chan
mel and no other-and what a soft
snap it would be.
The element that controls Min
nesota politics will undertake to
put Burnquist over again, and if
the assuring enthusiasm cannot
be stirred up in that direction
Jake freuS, present state auOllOf,
will be taken up-and Vic. Power
can skin the breeches off Of both
of them in the primary election.
After that he can beat any man
offered by the democrats or any
other political element.
And as governor he would be
independent enough to suit
everybody except the fat lads
that have had the run of the state
for so many years, and to it's utter
disgrace.
The time is here for a big man
to enter the lists, with a clear
pathway to the state capitol, and
the call is coming to Mr.. Power
from all over the state, but no
man can tell what his decision
will be.

THE POLITICAL POT
AS the Pie-counter Boys and Patriots Make Merry
- Medicine in City, County and State, the
Old Pct Boils and Bubbles Eercely.

It's a very cold day when the
political pot does not bubble in
Duluth, no matter who holds the
offices or how far away the next
election may be. The autumn
month of September is no excep-.
ton to the rule. There is talk
a-plenty and even some inclination
to start stringing up wires for po-
litical fences here and there.
The authorship may hold the
center Of the stage at the next
primaries. From all over St. Louis
county come reports that prove
to any reasonable man that Au-
ditor Halden's political stock has
slumped almost off the board.
Some firmly believe that he never
will run again for auditor OF st.
Louis county. If his intelligence
department is sending in correct
reports, which is not likely, he
must be quite well assured that
he's a dead one in dear old st.
Louis county. Men who have
voted for him for a quarter of
century, almost, until it has be-
come a habit, are awake at last
and exclaiming, ''Never again !!
I'm through with Halden!"
Some think that Mr.. Halden
will run again if it IS the last thing
he ever does and if he knows he
will be defeated. He's a great op-
portunist and, also, will not hest
tate to pull every possible wire.
Others think that he will save
his face by tying up with what
seems the dominant state clique
and trying for some state job,
probably auditor, if Jake Preuss
runs for governor.
Still others look for the boss of
the courthouse to drop out on the
plea of poor health. Others think
that the U. s. Steel Corporation
or some other Big Interest may
make kindly berth for him until
national politics takes a turn that
will give him the collectorship of
the Port of Duluth.
y =
There is no lack of aspirants
for Halden's shoes. Beginning
with this month, a varied assort-
ment of stories has been percolat-
ing through the body polite to
the effect that State Senator Geo.
M. Peteson is taking like wildfire
on the Mesaba range and that he
can appropriate Halden's shoes if
he really so desires. Others do
not concede this by any means but
come back with bits of the sena-
tors legislative record and even
assertions that he always has been
cheek by jowl with Halden. Some
who believe that, in the past, the
genial senator played the Halden
game more or less, now feel that
a big, dark cloud has come up be-
tween the twain.
Walter Bergen admits that he

is not In a position to buy a nom
ination or election but he would
+ be entirely willing to take up the
burdens in the county auditors
office. His friends offer his cred
liable service as city clerk and
his sterling honesty as ample rea-
son for tying to him.
Will S. Mccormick has many
friends who would whoop it up
for him. Some powerful interests
might be- converted to the idea of
taking a favorable interest in his
welfare. In the meantime, Mr..
Mel ormick writes insurance, lis
tens to all the gossip and looks
wise and sophisticated.
Fred Bessette, the wild ranger
of the Pelican, is represented as
being willing to take Halden's
shoes. Jack McGregor, of Duluth,
has some warm supporters and
might prove formidable. James
Matteson, an expert accountant OF
Duluth, also has been very favor
ably mentioned.
One canny citizen declares that
he is none too favorable to a young
man because he fears that such an
one would try to initiate Halden
and stick for life.. Rather, he
says, would he favor man IS or

ments; check up a lot Of those
vouchers; seriously seek to peer
into a lot of those pigeon holes up
there in the marble-lined court
house, in the vaults now in charge
of the perennial Halden.
There will be some fight, my
countrymen, for John R. Mem
ing's job as sheriff. He is not on
satisfactory terms with Auditor
Halden and there is not an entente
cordial between him and the U.
S: Steel Corporation interests.
Chief of Police McKercher believes
that, with his big Marmon car, he

centurions up there are repre-

Scot has bumped together the

literally and figuratively. Long

admitted that he expected to be
