The Duluth Chamber of Commerce
committee is meeting this afternoon
with the directors of the Duluth
Mesabi 81 Northern Railway company.
This latter company, which has already
expended $4,000 in completing a sur
vey of a line to the Mesabi range, made
the proposition to the committee that
they would build the first section OF the
line, that is from Duluth to 1913,
some sixty-eight miles, on the guarantee
of 100000 from the city on the COM
pletion of the work, which will begin
thirty days after their proposition is
accepted. They also guarantee to To-
cate their terminals within the cor
porate limits of Duluth and to make
all reasonable stipulationS providing
against the terminals either being re-
moved from the city or the transfer
of the road to a corporation hostile to
the Zenith City If their proposition
is accepted they will begin work i'm
mediately utilizing the st. Paul &
Duluth tracks to Cloquet and thence
over their own lines to 1918. When
the road is to be extended to Ely or any
other district, additional help will be
asked.

Pyramid Construction

According to Herodotus, the meth
cd of building the Pyramids was by
raising the great stones a step at
time until they were in position.
The mechanical means by which
such masses of stones were raised
to their places is a mystery, and
various methods have been sug-
gested by which they may have
been wound up. Many authorities
are of the opinion that an inclined
plane was employed.
