Distinguished Minnesotans Examine the Gov- ernment Work on the Upper Mississippi. The official car of the Soo line ar- rived here Saturday, conveying a party from the Twin Cities on a trip of inspection of the reservoir system of the Upper Mississippi. They stopped over at Hotel Pokegama and went onward Saturday evening to Deer River where they boarded Capt. Crowther's steamer, the Little Eagle, Sunday and went to the dams at Winmibagoshish and Leech lakes. Some of the party enjoyed the pleas- ures of fishing. They returned Tues- day morning on their way to Duluth and home. Ex-Senator W. D. Wash- burn and IIon, Loren Fletcher seem- ed to be highly pleased with the pres- ent condition of the reservior system and highly commended the work of those who are employed on the upper nver. Col W.A. Jones,who was of the party, said it was particularly pleasing to him to know that the visitors found the work up here so satisfactory and that the standing appropriations ap- plicable to this work had been used so judiciously. The new appropriation of $80,000 now available will be used for the proposed dam at Gull lake. Valuable Road Improvement. County Commissioner Logan has a crew of graders at work on the Dia- mond mine road which needed im- provement so much that the urgent petitions of the settlers are being com- plied with. The road will soon be in good shape for all kinds of travel and the transportation of drilling. mach- inery from here to the most import- ant new iron developments on the west Mesaba range will be greatly facilitated. The difficulties of travel up that way are being overcome. Pleased With The Progress. Prof. Willet M. Hays, general superintendent of sub-stations of the State Experiment farm, arrived Thurs- day evening and was met by Superin- tendent Pendergast of the local sub- station. They proceeded to the farm where the progress thus far, in this seasons crops has been very gratifying. Preparations are being made for secur- ing bids for the additions to be made to the buildings this season.

Messrs.

The county fair deserves to be the grand success which the people can make it by united effort but there is little to be gained by sending a lot of green specimens down to a state fair the date of which 1s fixed in favor of the extreme southern counties of Minne- sota which are not able to compete with the north when a proper date is set for Minnesota’s comparative ex- hibtion of agricultural products, To Diminish Forest Fires. The Itasca county fire wardens ap- pointed a short time ago by State Fire Warden C. C. Andrews, are: W. George Moore, Alexander LaFrance, Frank Smith, Bass Brook; James Kenna, John Wade, George W.

Duturn, July 18.—[Special Tele- gram.] The sale of the Duluth & Winnipeg railway, which was to have been set for this morning at 10 o’clock, was again postponed by Master Commissioner Edward Simon- ton until July 25, on account of no one appearing to make a bid. School Meeting Tonight, Every citizen in Grand Rapids who isinterested inthe future welfare of our public schools, should attend the meeting to be held _ this evening, for the purpose of elect- ing a member of the board, E. A. Kremer’s term as treasurer of the board will expire on August 1st, and his successor will be elected this eve- ning. A man should be elected whose aim it will be to employ teach- ers because they are qualified to per- form the duties for which they are chosen—a man who will consider no other claim for preferment. They Need a Road. E. O’Reilley, George W. Durkee, Swan River; D. P. Redding, A. E. Wilder, F. E, Brown. Maurice Moore, August Amell and J. E. Johnson in the unorganized townships. A Profitable Trip. Quite a party of berry pickers went to Cohasset Thursday and were guests of Capt Crowther who took them on the steamer Little Eagle through Joe Gould lake and the Thoroughfare and up the south shore of Lake Pokegama to Sugar Brook. Among those in the party were: Mrs. B.C. Finnigan and the children, Mrs. W. V. Fuller and E.W.Fuller,Mr.and Mrs.Ross Dodson, Mrs. Lampher, Mrs. Dickenson, Mrs. J. J. Decker, Miss Decker, Miss Mable Day, and Messrs. Thomas Mc- Hugh, George Herng and Miles Olts. They secured a nice lot of berries and most of the ladies were busy mak- ing preserves yesterday and today, Visitors From Missouri. Edward Cunningham, a prominent attorney of St. Louis, and wife, have been at Lund & McCumber’s summer resort, Deer lake, this week enjoying the fishing of that locality. Mr. Cun- ningham spent several weeks at Hotel Pokegama last season and his return to this district for this sum- mer’s outing bespeaks his high ad- miration for the means of enjoyment which he has discovered in Itasca county trict. He don’t bother with small sport, but seeks for large and (gamey fish, and his catches last sea- son included some of the largest bass on record. Connecting With Cass County. The board of county commissioners have granted the petition for the road across the Thoroughfare to con- nect with the Cass county highways. It will open communication with the Sugar lake district and the numerous farms-on the south side of the Miss- issippi and sLake Pokegama, and the news is received with satisfaction by a large number of settlers, Residents in the Trout lake district will circulate a petition among the tarmers of that vicinity which prays for the building of a suitable highway into 55-24. There are about 36 set- tlers in one locality who are unabte to reach Grand Rapids by team, owing to the fact that there is nofbridge across Swan River, about seven miles from town. It is said that about $600 would put in a suitable crossing over the river and the settlers would be greatly benefitted thereby. Lewis Carlson was in town today and had a petition drawn up which will be signed and presented to the commis- sioners at their next meeting. A little money expended 1n this direction for the purpose of accommodating the settlers already here, will be a greater permanent benefit to the county than would the same amount expended in an attempt to induce others to come. The desirable citizen who locates on agricultural lands in any community must be able to reach a market with his produce before he becomes a profitable planter. A Lively Contest. A glove contest of remarkable in- terest is to be held at the gymnasium this evening between Mike Murray and Frank Beaton, who excited con- siderable comment by their previous. exhibitions. ‘onight’s contest 1s to be of 20 rounds, and as the young men have shown very scientific work heretofore, the decisions on the points made during the sparring will be important. ‘The referee and seconds, chosen for their thorough familiarity with the rules of sparring matches, are bound to have fair play, and the re- sult will undoubtedly settle the numer- ous questions that have arisen con- cerning the scientific skill of the con- testants. Several preliminary matches will precede the match of the evening. POLITICAL OUTLOOK. All Things Point to the Overthrow of Republicanism in Minnesota. Minnesota’s politics are being tang- ibly shaped, and there is excellent reason for our Republican friends to be not a little alarmed. The free silver Republicans have nominated John Lind for governor and it is very likely that he will be endorsed both by the Democrats and Populists. The politician who has viewed the situa- tion without prejudice cannot fail to recognize the fact that Clough’s chances for defeat are excellent. It has been a great many years since the Republican party in this state has been given a majority vote, and when the large Republican silver element 1s taken into consideration together with the Democrats and Populists com- bined, the Lind ticket looks like a winner today, * * * The nomination of Page Morris for congress by the gold Republicans does not change the situation in this district to the extent of a half-dozen votes, Morris accepted the nomina- tion because he was forced to, His term of office as district judge ex- pires this fall and it is conceded in St. Louis county that he could not be re-elected this year to the bench. He was urged to make the run against Towne, and as a reward therefor the party managers have guaranteed to see that Page is provided for in the event of McKinley’s election. From present indications, McKunley’s chances of success are about on a par with those of Mr. Morris. * * e C, A, Towne’s warmest supporters would scarcely venture to pre- dict two months ago that his majority would exceed five thousand, but the change of sentiment in his favor has been so rapid and enthusiastic that he will be returned to his seat in congress by a much larger vote than was given him two years ago. ** In local politics a calm prevails as before a storm. There are many can- didates for every office to be filled and many a patriot is seriously guessing on the successeful combinations that are to be framed up. It is safe enough to predict that a competent set of county officers will be chosen, irre- spective of partisanship.‘ In these days the interested voter is very apt to support the man who has proven himself competent in the past, without regard to the party to which he may belong. Ina short time the county conventions will be called, and from that time “ull the polls close on Noy- ember 3 next, the political atmosphere is likely to be very sultry, No Sunday Shaves. The barbers of Grand Rapids give notice that all of their shops will be closed on Sundays.
