When the meeting had been remarkable development and improve- ment has occurred here during that period. He always had faith in thé future of this place but is surprised that his expectations are being fulfilled so rapidly.

From the stand point of general busitess he considers this situation excellent and ing great promise.

An Evidence of Manufacturing Capability Sent to the State Fair. The first wagon ever manufactyred in this place for sale or exhibitiom was loaded into a car last night and sent on this morning’s train to the state fair where it will be exhibited as J. M. Roman’s patent dump wagon, Smith & Riddell, makers, Grand Rapids, Minn. It was invented by Mr. Ro- mans who is a well known resident here and Messrs, Smith & Riddell, | our popular machinists have begun the manufacture of these wagons un- der his patent. The principle of the mvention is very simple. By an ea- sy adjustment the hind wheels of the loaded wagon can be moved up close to the front wheels and the wagon box being thus put almost on a bal- ance can, by a slight movement of a small lever, be dumped and returned to its longitudinal position and the wagon driven off within the smallest conceivable period of time, This wagon sent to the fair presented a very neat and substantial appearance. It was well painted with dark green, lined with black, and neatly lettered. Its materials were of the strongest and best woods all cut from _well-seasoned Itasca county timber. Its wood work and its wrought iron work were made by Smith & Riddell. In fact all of its excellent workmanship was done by skilled mechanics of this place. It presented a finished and attractive ap- pearance that is bound to win notice for it among the manufacturers at the fair. It is built to run like the one hoss shay, exactly “a hundred years toa day.” Everyone who has had to ; do with its production is justly enti- tled to credit theretor. Some time, not far in the future, when the manu- factures of Grand Rapids, Minn., are being written up this item may serve to fix closely upon the date of begin- ning a noticable industry in wagon making. THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY. What a Loeal Merchant Tailor Has to Say on Present Prices. During the latter part of the sum- mer months business in all lines has a’ tendency toward dullness, and mer- chant tailoring is no exception to the rule. In fact the quiet season affects this business to a more pronounced degree than most any other. If buy- ers of tailor-made clothes—and this includes almost every gentleman in Grand Rapids—would bear this fact in mind and order their fall and win- ter suits and overcoats late in the summer they could save a great many dollars every year, and at. the same time be sure of getting the best- pos- sible work Gone—because in these days work is never rushed. August Johnson, with his usual en- terprise and business push, proposes to keep busy if low prices, goud work and first-class stock can do it. Mr. Johnson bas 150 yards of clay worsted suitings in blue and black which he will sell at actual cost and will make up the goods as desired ata reduction of 20 per cent from regular prices. called to order there was no one present to. prefer any charges. Coun- ty Commissioner Logan spoke on behalf of the commissioners relative to the purchase of the poor farm and County Attorney Pratt made some explanations relative to the judgment against the county procured by the Crowley Electric company. When these gentlemen had _ finished no one had anything tosay and a mo- tion to adjourn was the signal for everyone to walk out of the hall. ‘They Had Success. F. W. Salisbury, contracting agent of the Canadian Pacific railway, and W. C. Williams, of the Star Union line returned from Deer lake Thursday and proceeded to Duluth where their catch of black bass won the envy of all the Zenith city sportmen, hey went east with their friends#Messrs. C. W. Cooper, W. J. Gavin H. I. Schwarm and M. H. Walters, intend- ing to stop over in N6rthern Wiscon- sin, on the South Shore line, to vistt old friends. FARMER HINES’ ROAD. A Difference of Opinion Between the Presi- dent and Directors. The directors of the Duluth & North Dakota railway have issued a circular concerning their plan as against the plan ot Farmer Hines for securing the construction of the yoad: They say: ‘There has always been a decided difference of opinion as to the method by which the work should be carried on. The president had strenously maintained that the farmers could do the grading through the 100 miles of timber, while the others believed that the only practical way was to sell stock, get municipal aid and place bonds sutilcient to enable the road to contract for that portion of the road; and that when the prarie was reached the farmers could grade a very large portion of the roadbed. ‘The directors also believed that it would be easier to get subscribers for stock on a basis large enough to guar- antee the road than to get a few dol- lars here and there on a proposition which did pot appeal to the good business judgment’ of the people. They recognize the fact that now is not the most favorable time to work out the road scheme. in view ‘of the poor crops and general financial de- pression. The directors hope for a better feeling after election, but other than that they do not express much encouragement for the line. Nevertheless, the company has kept within its assests. The committee, in outlining its plan, regrets that a mere difference of opinion has forced the conditions upon it, but states that it is its inten- tion to goahead without Hines’ valu- able aid. It is assumed that the peo- ple want a railroad at least 200 miles jong, and nota spur ending in the woods, and think it easier to raise the amount of $300,000 on a’ complete scheme. The committee, in outlining their plan, and asking for support from the farmers, states that it is their inten- tion to get municipal aid from certain counties of Minnesota, to take sub- scriptions conditional on the entire amount of $300,000 being realized and to place bonds sufficient to rail and equip the road.. When this scheme matures the subscriptions are to be- come due and be collected through the local banks of the Northwest and none of the money will be used until by its use an actual railroad will be guaranteed. Harriet Beecher Stowe. The name of the author of that American classic, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” will live forever, although the hand that wrote that remarkable work lies cold and still. It is some- thing to be thus identified: to be lo- cated by a landmark likesuch a work. Thus, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” recalls Mrs. Stowe; the telegraph recalls Franklin, and a good comfortable journey, recalls the Saint Paul & Du- He also has about 100 yards of Ger- | railroad, which ts the peoples popularg man Sirdseye in blue and black on which he is making the same offer. 1n addition to this he has a number of suits already made up which have not-been called for and which he will ell at just what they cost.
