SURVE BEGU N
Five Townships in Northern
Itasca Designated.
We recently stated that Sen
ator Nelson secured an appropri
ation of $50,000 to finish survey
ing all the unsurveyed land in
Minnesota. No sooner was this
done than a contract was award
ed L. A Oscaard of Koochiching
to-survey five townships in upper
Itasca county. And no doubt
other contracts will be awarded
immediately, as soon as petitions
are sent, in from squatters on the
unsurveyed towns, in all these
northern counties.
DThe five towns mentioned above
lie along the Big Fork River, the
nearest being a mile from the
falls, the farthermost being 16
miles down stream. The towns
are 66-26, 66-27, 67-26, 69-27 and
156-27. The towns are composed
mostly of agricultural land and
spruce timber. Work on the
survey has already begun.
The settlers in the northern
half of Beltrami county should
lose no time in petitioning for a
survey, as it may require a year
or so after the work has begun
before the government will be
ready to throw the land open to
settlement.

The lumbermen who depend
upon the streams to get their logs
to the mill are beginning to worry
over the uncertainty of nature.
The breakup of the rivers on
which logs are to be drived this
spring is expected soon. The
outlook for a good stage of water
is not bright. The stage of water
will depend entirely on the rain,
for the snow has gone off grad
ually and run away over the ice.
The lumbermen in some cases
will be short of logs if there is a
lack of rain this spring.
But the majority of the mills
no longer depend on the spring
freshets to bring their logs
down. Most of them depend
wholly, or in part, on a rail haul
for their supply. The extension
of the M. & I. and the building
of the Walker road has invaded
a large territory that will need
no water to get logs out this
spring. The Northern Pacific is
closing a number of Contracts
with loggers who will haul by
rail for the first time this season.
Mayor Steidl left Monday in search
of timber above Blackduck. He
wishes to get enough timber so that
his mill can sar for the wholesale
trade this season, but this is difficult

Awarded Curry in Famous San
dusky Fish Co. Case.
The case of Harry V. Curry vs.

The Election in Six Precincts
Says Sheviin.
The county commissioners met
Tuesday afternoon in special
sesxr and took the necessary
stops to advertise for bids on tho
$50,000 bonds to bo issued by
the county for the purpose of
building anew court house.
While in session notice of con
test of the recent election was
served upon them by Olia Olson,
a saloon-keeper of Sheviin. The
notice claims that the vote on
bonds was not carried by tho
vote of citizens of the county,
and points out that in tho towns
of Grant Valley, Nebish, Beau
dette, Port Hope, Red Lake and
SHORT time ago we purchased at a bargain 500 Suits of Ladies, Gents and

This is a stop to delay the sale
