GRAND RAPIDS PAPER IS GETTING A MERGENTHALER Edltor Kiley, of Herald-Review, Visits Bemidji.—Is Issuiag a Splendid Weekly Paper. E. C. Kiley, the “presiding elder” of the Grand Rapids Herald-Review, accompanied by his good wife, came to the city yesterdayafternoon andre- mained here for several hours, being- the guests of W. E. Neal and family, former residents of the ‘‘Rapids.” One of the purposes of the good brother’s visit was to ascertain for a certainty whether the editor hereof had really grown horns and a cloven hoof, since the normal school fight was “‘on” last winter, as Editor Ives of the Cass Lake Times would have the brethern of the north-country press believe. The Herald-Review is one of best- patronized weekly papers in the state, and when everything is moving along all right for Bro. Kiley, the Herald-Review is chock full of good, wholesome matter that is interesting to read. Mr. Kiley tells that he is install- ing a new junior mergenthaler type- that sets all the matter fora big newspaper in a few hours), and that he will hereafter issue an all-home- print paper, which _is what the Pio- neer has been doing for years, and is the only right way of doing, when! patronage will warrant. Mr. and Mrs. Kiley departed for their home last night, after a very pleasant visit. Effort was made to get Bro. Kiley to remain for the ball game which was played this afternoon between the Grand Rapids and Bemidji high school boys, in order to convince him(by personal observation)that our people are not a bunch of “hood- lums,” as has been reported to- him heretofore; but the good brother de- parted homeward, without seeing the game, which we regret. erTET, IN HANDS OF THE COURT Fate of John R, Walsh, Former Chi- cago Banker.

J. Munro, Postoffice Inspector from Duluth, Inspected Proposed Route While Here Yesterday. There is every prospect that the farmers living east of Bemidji and| Frohn will be given rural free de- livery of mail in the very near future, judging from the very favorable ex- pressions made by W. J. Munro of Duluth, postoffice inspector, who spent yesterday in the city making a thorough examination of the territory through which the proposed route will be extended and also gathering information of a general character relative to the residents of that sec- tion, The proposed new route will cover a distance of some twenty-five miles and serve approximately 100 fami- lies, who will have mail boxes along the road. Mr. Munro, accompanied by A. R. Erickson, postmaster of Bemidji, drove through .the townships of Be- midji and Frohn yesterdy, returning to the city late in the afternoon. The regulations of the postoffice department require that Mr. Munro make areport to Fourth Assistant Postmaster General DeGraw, and if the report is of such a nature as to come under the requirements of the law and is acceptable to Mr.{DeGraw, he will order the rural route estab- lished. Mr. Munro was the inspector who reported on route No. 1 which ex-, tends from Bemidji northwest, and in speaking of the Bemidji-Frohn route which he just visited, he said that conditions for the route were fully as favorable as were those for route No. 1. Speaking of Bemidji, Mr. Munro stated that he was greatly impressed with the beauty of the city during the summer months and hoped he could come here often.

Vesterday Mr. Mackenzie was trying different cultivating machines on hisland. The most successful of these machines and the one which gives the most satisfaction, was the quack grass cutter, which cuts up the roots and places them in such condition that they can be easily raked off land. The Northern Minnesota Dairy & Farm Land company, which Mr. Mackenize is vice president, owns 30,000 acres of land in Maple Ridge and Buzzle townships and also extending over into Clearwater county, and the work being done on Mr. Mackenzie’s farm will be a good indication of what may be accomplished on hardwood lands which this company owns. |PINE STUMP LANDS ARE THE FARMER'S PARADISE Says Prof. Henry, Former Dean of the Agricultural College of Wis- consin University.

Some of those who are still eager for prairie lands would far better take the kind of wooded lands that Wisconsin and Minnesota have yet to settle, for many are pushing into districts where the rainfall is too uncertain to warrant the kind of agriculture that must be adopted by landholders of limited means, : “In the wooded districts all the crops never fail and one is always certain of enough for himself and for his cattle. Because of its waters and splendid summer climate and the wealth of grasses and clovers, the region is particularly suited to dairying and sheep husbandry, two of the most stable of agricultural in- dustries, which pay the faithful farmer from the very start.” NOT WELGOME IN THE WEST INDIES Sastro’s Brother Expelled From Island of Guracao. ‘Willemstad, Curacao, May 22.— “Celestino Castro, brother of the de- posed president of Venezuela, has been served with a notice of his ex- pulsion from the island of Curacao.
