Range ore dock, No. A, at Two
Harbors, will probably be awarded
today, says Mondays News Trib-
une, Frankmann Bros. & Morris,
of st. Paul is the lowest bidder.
Four proposals were submitted, the
other bidders being the Barnett d
Record Co., NJ j. Peppard and
Hugo & Tins. Only one Duluth
firm, Hugo & Tins bid on the Job.
C. j. A. Morris will arrive today to
consult with the officials OF the
road.
The ore dock, which is owned
by the United States Steel COM
pany, was built in 1928. The
dock is in a fair state of preserva-
ton but it is too low for the newer
and larger boats now so numerous
in the ore trade. 1t is found de-
sirable to raise the dock structure
ten feet BY so doing the capacity
$4,000 tons. The increase of ten
feet in height will make it more
convenient to load the bigger class
of vessels.
The Improvement to the dock
and the raising of the docks to cor
respond, will necessitate the outlay
of bout 100000. During the
winter about 100000 yards of
material will be used to bring the
yards up to the dock level. Mr..
Morris of the firm submitting the
low bid, was formerly chief en-
gineer of the st. Paul & Duluth
road.
No. dock will be practically a
new structure when the work is
completed. The work is to be
completed by May 1.

Manager and Mrs. Trezona, died

the kidneys and was buried We'd
nesday from the NJ E. church,
Rev. Logan conducting the last sad
rites. He was three years and
four months of age at his death.
Everything possible was done by
the physicians in charge and the
family, but of no avail and the
promising young life went out af-
ter an illness of a few weeks.
The parents and family have the
sympathy of t he community in
their loss The funeral Wednesday

S. H. Higgins has associated
himself with C. NJ Atkinson in the
management of the Hibbing News
and that the two will make a win
ming there is no doubt in the minds
of anyone acquainted with the
gentlemen. The News came to US
last week looking neat and trim
and determination to stay in its
makeup that f1aunts defiance in
the face of the exalted powers
that be at Hibbing. Such deter
mination must surely win the con-
fidence of even those opposed to
the News.
There are some in this city as
in other great places not over lit
miles from here, who will please
take notice that Holiness is never
under the necessity of advertising
it s If. The big 81" and little
you" people will not feel so great
when they travel with beggars and
princes alike on their trip to the
mansion in the skies or their final
residence in the 365th level of
Dante's old stamping ground. cit
makes all the difference in the
world" says an old sage. whether
holiness is an inner force or an
outer fashion" The daily life of
some people is forcible reminder
that all is not gold that glitters. I"
Their Sunday life is strictly un-
aloyed gold-in their own mind.
This is not intended for any par
ticular friend(?) of the EDITORS,
but whomsoever it does not suit
will find us at home on all occa-
sions.
