The Trustees Decide That They Have Had Enough and Will Retire. At a meeting of the village trustees held last Tuesday evening it was de- cided to call for an election of officers for the ensuing year, without any regard to the 1895 law, which seems to provide for two-year terms. None ofthe present members had any de Sire to hold over, and were perfectly willing to surrender the honors to those who might successfully cam- paign therefor. A call for a caucus tonight is published, and it will likely be known thereafter who the aspirants are. ‘The election this year will occur on March gth. There is considerable talk of O, EK. Mather for president of the village and one or two others hav: been mentioned, Will Nisbett 1s the choice of some for alderman from his ward. For that position he the only gentleman ‘we have heard mentioned. Henry \Hughes will again be a candidate for treasurer, and it is said that Charles ‘Kearney would also like to handle the village funds. H, E. Richardson is a candidate for recorder, and Fred A. King has been numerously mentioned in that connection by a number of business men. The Herald-Review does not know whether Mr. King would accept a nomination if offered it, but his competency is beyond question and he would make an ideal recorder and a good member of the council. The same may be said of Mr, Richardson. Charles Kearney’s term of office as justice of the peace expires this spring. If Mr, Kearney becomes a candidate for treasurer it is hardly probable that he will accept the two nominations, so here will be an opportunity for some leavelheaded gentleman of a judicial turn of mind to distinguish himself. Firemen’s Dance. The Grand Rapids Hook and Lad- der company received .a dozen uni- forms this week and the Hose com- pany have had uniforms for some tims. The boys will appear in their bright regalia at the dance to be given Monday night, which promises to be the most pronounced social success of the season. Tickets for the ball are selling rapidly at one dollar, while Dave Chambers will serve supper for 25cents. Itis the duty of every citizen to assist in making the fire- men’s entertainment’ a_ satistactory success. ' Be A Light Case. An application was made last week before Judge Moer of Duluth, by C. H. Marr for the appointment of a re- ceiver for the Grand Rapids Electric Light and Power company, of which John Beckfelt is the present owner and manager. It appears that A. B. Howes, the former owner of the plant, was indebted to Mr. Marr in the sum of $600, and it was for the purpose of securing a settlement of this amount that the action was brought, through his attorney, C. L. Pratt. The motion was argued at Duluth on Tuesday, by Mr. Pratt for the complainant. and Mr. McCarthy for the detendant. An order was issued for an accounting between Howes and Marr, after which the case will be brought up for further hearing if it is not settled in the mean- ee) TO PUSH THE RAILROAD. R. S.Munger Will Devote Himself to the Farmers Road R.S. Munger, having completed his duties as foreman of the grand jury, will now devote his time to promoting the interests of the Duluth & North Dakota Railroad company, of which he 1s president, reports the Duluth Hearld. He willleave Thurs- day for the East to enlist finanial as- sistance in the enterprise. Mr. Mun- ger believes that the financial outlook is brightening up and that Eastean investors will soon again look to the West for the employment of their sur- plus capital. This opinion is formed trom the tone of correspondence he has received from Eastern men who have shown an interest inthe Duluth & North Dkaota: railroad. He 1s quite confident that ample funds will soon be available for construction pur- poses, and will be able to state de- finitely on his return in about two weeks whether or not active work can be resumed. RAINY RIVER ROAD. Rainy Lake Gold Hunting and Railway Work to Begin at Once. The Port Arthur Herald says the Ontario & Rainy River Railway com- pany had intended building the rail- way so as to open out the Hunter’s Island district, but the igold_discover- ies around Lake Shebandowan, the partial development of the Matawin iron ore distsict and the Sawbill gold finds, have induced them to follow the gold and iron belts all the way from the Port Arthur, Duluth & West- ern railway to the Lake of the Woods. ‘The line of the railway for 150 miles, will be a continuous gold belt, and with construction started this spring we will see hundreds of explorers scattered ail over the wilds from here to Sturgeon Falls. Many of the men being poor will work for the railway company for a month or so and then prospect for a like period. _Many prospecting syn- dicates will be formed among the men, where two will work on the railway and the other two will prospect, be- ing supported by the wages of the railway workers. The railway com- pany, which is a local colonization one, intended to assist in the develop- ment of this section of the province, and not having any through business, will ask the province for $5000 and the Deminion for $6400 per mile, with the intention of completing the line through to Rainy Lake in 18 month. Hon. D. M. Gunn _ has _beeng confined to his room ail week from an attack of the gnp. He is recover: ing rather slowly, but hopes to be able to return to St.. Paul in a few days. A NATURAL RESULT. The Short-Sighted Policy of the Past Now Reacting on Itasea County. A notice that appears in another column of this issue of the Hesald- Review signed by the two Grand Rapids banks, is.a good illustration of the natural result of a policy that has been permitted to exist in this county before and since its organization, relative to taxation. Instead of put- ting something like an equitable tax. upon the enormous wealth of pine lands of the county during the past, five years and drawing sufficient rev- enue therefrom to sustain the public credit and cause the burden to fall equally upon all class.s of citizens and upon all portions of the county, the pine land owners have been per- mitted to escape by paying — pennies where dollars should have been de- manded. In the meantime public im- provements have been necessary. Highways were to be built, buildings erected, organization to be sustained, officials to pay, all of which costs money, and in the absence of a suffi- cient valuation of our only source of revenue—pine stumpage—a public debt has been accumulated that de- mands payment. The time of reckon- ing is now at hand and the most severe exactions are made on the village of Grand Rapids. Among those who feel the burden heaviest are the two banks. Their taxes for 1896 are more than two thousand dollars. The only means of escape from future assessments of like pro- portion is to resume business as private banking institutions. While this move does in no manner impair the stand- ing of the two banks, the action will not have a tendence to improve the standing of Grand Rapids among the cities ot the state. The Itasca Mer- cantile company’s taxes for this year are over sixteen hundred dollars, and proportionaly the taxes of the vil- lage throughout are equally high. It this same rate prevailed all over the county, in two years our entire in- debtedness, including all bonds, would be wiped out. It is only justice to the banks to say that they will con tinue business with the same security to the public in the future as in the past, and will in no manner be chang- ed in management nor in their stand- ing as financial institutions through the surrender of their p chartes, as state banks.
