Entirely aside from the benefits that will result from such an advertisement of our matchless summer resorts, there are the still more’ practical and per- manently usetul features of far greater importance, and the good results can- not be fully appreciated except by those who have had an opportunity of attending similar gatherings. The scientific and practical discourses de- livered by men who have made care- ful study and research of agriculture, stock raising, the dairy, etc., as appli- cable to this northern region, will give our people a greater appreciation of the district in which they live, and en- able them the better to present our advantages’ to homeseekers in the most intelligent and reliable manner, while at the same time much useful information is imparted from which Itasca county farmers might reap great benefit.

It 1s expected that many members of the state board of regents will be our visitors at that time owing to the establishment here of the state experimental farm, and it will be an opportune ocasion fora great many gentlemen prominent in political affairs to show their friend- ship and sincere consideration for Itasca county. All things considered we have reason to feel assured that the convention will be a success of more than ordinary dimensions. The Log Drives. The situation concerning the log drives has changed but little from that of the Knights of Pythias of Minne- sota, arrived here Thursday evening to conduct the ceremonial for which ali preparations Grand Chancellor E. H. Milham, from St. Paul had been made by the local organiza- tion, Waubana lodge 131. He also | inspected the local division, Itasca Division No. 10, in_ his capacity as Colonel, commanding the Second regiment, Minnesota brigade, Uniform rank, K. of P. Chancellor Milham was accompanied by J. L. Porter, of Duluth, grand master of arms, and F. E. Wheaton, of Minneapolis, grand keeper of records and seals. These} gentlemen were accorded a hearty re- ception upon their arrival and made an official visit to the lodge at the regular convention Thursday evening when the rank of Knight was con- ferred. The grand officers chose this opportunity to compliment the mem- bers of the local lodge very highly upon the excellence of their work and expressed their views to the effect that among the younger lodges of the state there are very few that can do better than Waubana lodge in the work of the order. ‘They also performed their respective functions in the succeeding events in accordance with the pro- gram planned for Thursday and Fri- day. The inspection of the Unitorm rank occurred in the new hall yester- day at 10 o’clock a. m. The hall thas dimensions of 60x50 feet and is capable of accommodating a consid- erable number of knights. It was fur- aished with the necessary paraphet: nalia for the occasion, and upon the raised dias was located the stately chair of the conductor of ceremonies with the pedastal in front and the three other pedastals placed in their of last week. Most of them are hung up on account of the high water and there is but little chance of much of a proper places. The handsome altar occupied the center of the hall.

Decoration Day Britgs Forth the Most Fitting Observances A thrill of pleasure was felt by the old soldiers and their many friends when this morning opened favorably |J for the patriotic observance of Decora- tion Day. The arrangements made for the occasion by B. F. Huson Post, G, A. R., were creditable to an organ- ization which has been in existence only about three months, and its suc- cess presages the permanency of its future life. It arranged for the gathering of the various bodies which met at the Village hall at ten o’clock a. m., and proceeded to form in line of march. The fife and drum corps of the martial band headed the pro- cession, and its tatoo reminded the veterens and their friends of the grand army of comrades who have passed into the great hereafter. Marshall Laisur, on horseback, represented the police department. Capt. T. M. Brady, commander of Huson post, and the glorious flag of the free, led the veterans and the village council. The brilliantly uniformed Knights of Pythias made a_ pleasing escort 30 the hundreds of school children whe were wp the ranks bearing. flowers Tit Ue Tats Ocas tebe and flags. The children were in charge ot their teachers and formed the center of attraction in the pro- cession.
