An effort has been under way for the purpose of finding an early mar- ket for part of the produce that has been raised here this season, It has been suggested that some of the farm- ;|ers and gardeners club together and send a portion of their vegetables down to Duluth in car load lots. In the correspondence with the railroad people upon the subject a disposition to assist such an_ enterprise is shown from a letter submitted to the Herald-* Review which contained the following: “Relative to finding a market for the agricultural products in and around your neighborhood: It will please me much indeed to assist the Grand Rapids gardeners and others to dis- pose of their produce if they will com- bine and ship in carload lots, * * * If you will define the commodities that it is desired to transport, giving me the quantities and weight of each, I will take the matter into very favor- able consideration, indeed—that is to say, from our standpoint, looking to the interests of all concerned in deal- ing with this matter.” This letter was signed by William Orr, general freight and passenger agent of the Duluth & Winnipeg railway. The letter is in this office and any persons who wish to join in a carload shipment to Duluth can leave a list of what they want to ship at the office of the Herald-Review on either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week (Sept. 29 and 30) and the lists will be promptly submitted to the railroad people tor freight rate per carload. Itthe plan presents a reasonable show of resulting favorably it will be- come necessary to have a meeting of the shippers, of which notice will be given, so that they can have their say as to where the property shall be dis- posed of and how the interests of each shipper shall be adequately protected in the matter of handling the pro- ceeds. It is no small task but may result beneficially for the future, PUBLIC POOR FARM. The Foundation Work of the Main Build- ing is Now Completed. Chairman George Lydick of the board of county commissioners, who has charge of the work now in pro- gress on the recently purchased county poor farm, is making satistac- tory progress on the building. The stone work, under the direct super- vision of Ed. Woods, will be finished | today and the carpenters will begin Monday. Commissioner Lydick says that the building will be ready for oc- cupancy early in November—in time, he added to receive the defeated can- didates for county offices. The material being used is all purchased of home merchants, W. V. Fuller & Co. furnish the lumber, George F. Kremer supplied the brick, and W.J, & H. D. Powers the hardware. The commis- work done by resident laborers and mechanics by the day. The site selected is a magnificent one, and in the course of afew years the home for our dependent people will be one of the most beautiful spots to be found in Itasca county. The main building, now in course of construc- tion will be two stories high, 45x58 feet on the ground and will accomo- date about twenty persons very con- veniently. There are already about fifty acres cleared with about thirty acress under cultivation. It is the in- tention of the commissioners to get everything 1n readiness as soon as pos- sible to take care of the county poor and thus cut off the present enormous expense of keeping patients and de- pendents at a first-class hospital. The farm will be in excellent condition next season to begin the important work of farming, and it is expected that the institution will become self- sustaining. The granite rock being used in the foundation was found upon the property, and the stone workers say that it is as fine material for foundation walls as 1s known to the trade. THE LOGGING OUTLOOK. Leading Lumbermen Have Arrived to Begin Preparations for the Coming Season. The log cut this coming season will undoubtedly fall considerably below the figures of last season. yet there will be work enough to keep a good many men busy. Few new camps are being built but this district is quite weil supphed with established camps and the work of swamping new roads starts out fairly well. Well posted loggers have recently made an_ esti- mate that a cut of 400,000,000 feet is about all that will be made this season in all the district tributary to Minne- apolis (the Second district, which com- prises the upper Mississippi and_ its tributaries), Last season the log cut in the Second district scaled 800,000,- 000 feet. Among the prominent loggers who arrived here this week are J. P. Sims, Pnice Brothers, A. H. Powers, Robert M. Stitt, H. A. McAllister, Capt. J. H. Hasty, M. McCarthy, William Buch- anan, William Deary, J. H. Dunning, George L. Dewey, Carl H. Douglas, S. A. Gray, Hugh Maguire, W. G. Moore, James Sherry and Clark Clay. Others will be here early next week and soon the lumber jacks will come back in force from their summer haunts looking for the winter’s work. It is probable that they, and settlers who nnderstand logging, will be able to find employment, for fewer men will flock in early this year from be- low as many of them will be disposed } to stay in the big cities until after elec- tion, and if the camp crews are well filled here there will not be as many needed from below. The leading foremen have arrived and most of them are out in the woods attending to the preliminaries. A New Route. William Chase, Freeman & Gray’s Moose lake foreman, arrived tiom ed the distance, 24 miles, during the afternoon. He was making a tal trip over their new tote road which can now be used from the Deer lake country to Sims’ headquarters, and thence he used _ the old road to the county capital. He says the camps are being rebuilt near Moose lake and they will have to tote in a large amount of stuff this season as their supplies were nearly all destroyed by the fire that burned their camp, A BRILLIANT REVIEW. Congressman Hartman of Montana Por- trays the Principles of Bimetallism. Although the weather was rather unfavorable last evening the bimetallic meeting at Village hall was well at- tended and the distinguished speaker, Hon. Chas. $. Hartman of Montana, | received a hearty welcome. He was introduced by Chairman F. F. Price in a bright and effective address. He called attention to the fact that some gold-bug papers characterize the Montana representative as a bonaza silver mine owner, and during the course of his address Mr. Hartman acknowledged that he had had some experience in silver mine properties; he had invested nine thousand six hundred dollars in silver seeking and “tonight,” said he, “I will sell all the silver property I ever did own or do own at this time for nine cents.” Congressman Hartman’s address received frequent applause during the hour and a half of its delivery. His references to Bryan and the progress of bimetallism met with enthusiastic favor and his eloquent and earnest tributes to the integrity, ability and lofty patrotism of his colleague in con- gress, Charles A, Towne, brought torth most decisive proof that Mr. Towne’s popularity is wonderfully vigorous notwithstanding the recent malignant attacks made upon him by the opposing press. No public speaker on either side of the great controversy who has visited Grand Rapids has received greater at- teution and none have had a greater influence than Congressman Hartman. He has twice been elected to repres- ent the people of Montana in the national house of representatives as a Republican and is the present candi- date of that party for re-election, notwithstanding his repudiation of the national Republican platform. He showed that the United States is not only able to, but needs to enter promptly upon the free coinage of both silver and gold without asking permission of the foreign powers. ‘Thus the present depreciation in prices of commodities would be checked and a rising scale of values would ensue. His exposition of this feature of the controversy was remark- ably clear and explicit.

Mann and D. E. Wood, who are interested in the famous Elgin dairies, and W. H. Wait, a furniture dealer of Elgin, to- gether with J. H. Lewis, president of the First National bank of Dekalb; H. E, Elwood, of the original barb wire manufactory; H. B. Guyler, a creamery man, and C. W. Marsh, the Marsh harvester inventor and editor of the Farm Implement News. The last* named four gentlemen are all of Dekalb, Mr. Marsh has taken great interest in the opportunities for devel- opment here and intends to publish an article upon this section in a forth- coming issue of his periodical. Mr. Wood met with a mishap in losing his pocket book this week on the road between here and Split Hand ranch, or, possibly, on the Cow Horn trail in riding across to make a short cut. ‘There was a goodly sum of currency m_ the pocket book which the finder may have by returning the pocket book and the papers in it to Hotel Pokegama, in accordance with Mr. Wood’s advertisement in this issue. AN OPENING NIGHT, Next Friday Evening the Quigg House at Deer River. Will be Opened With a Ball. W. J. Kelly has bought a one-half interest in the Quigg house at Deer River and in company with Mr. J, A. Quigg he will be one of the future managers of that well known and popular hotel. On Fniday evening, October 2, they will give an opening dance to which a general invitation 1s extended to their Grand Rapids friends, The populanty of both Messrs. Quigg and Kelly will make their business prosperous and the Herald-Review knows of no two gen- tlemen in Itasca county who more deserve success than they. | They have a wide acquaintance throughout northern Minnesota, and as they will conduct a first-class hotel at the ter- minal town it goes without saying that they will enjoy a paying patron age. The numerous Grand Rapids friends of Messrs. Quigg and Kelly should attend the opening on Friday evening next, Divided the Drive. The drivers didn’t clear the upper river of logs after all. There ap- peared to be no hurry about the Skelly & Graves drive from Bear river, and the E. W. Backus & Co. drives from Leighton and Rice lakes; at any rate, they had no force here to go along with the wanagan, so their logs were left at Pokegama dam with the end clear up river, and they may be taken down a little later. The main potion of the drive was managed by Clark Clay who kept Frank Smith in charge of the crew. They got the logs of Freeman & Gray, Clark Smith and C,H. Douglas, all past here Wednesday and took along |some for the Itasca Lumber compan: at Swan river. They will, in all likeli. hood, reach the pond just above Brainerd in about ten days... C. C. Kelly, representative of the Northern =| Boom company, will remain here until the situation concerning the logs that are still here is fully determined. —
