Itis hardly necessary to call at- tention to the attractive advertisement of the Itasca Mercantile coumpay in thississue of the Herald-Review. But j it might be added that the Itasca com- pany makes no annoucements that it is not prepared to carry out. Couny Surveyor Frank Smith, of the logging firm of Clay & Smith, ar- rived from the camp this week, and is now making preparations for the drive. Krank says the one just past w. the toughest winter he has ex experinced in the logging bus- iness in northern Minnesota. The ladies who have charge of the for | arra: nents the forthcoming ul, are progressing with the details very satisfactorily. Every business ia the village will be represented, with one or two excep- tions, and the event promises to be a very enjoyable one. A New York boot and shoe house has sent a large nunber of catalogues to parties in Grand Rapids. ‘hese foreign retail concerns, selling goods direct to consumers, asa rule are frauds and people will make money by buy ing nght at home. In the last issue of Charley Colby’s Barnsville Record was the following item: ‘“Mrs.Chas, E. Colby, wife of the editor of this paper, has been quite lin Duluth this week but at the present writing 1s considerable better and will join her husband as soon as she is able to travel. She arrived last evening.” Following a somewhat vigorous and vicious winter we are having an ideal spring. Notwithstanding the immense amount of snow that was upon the ground it has disappered and today our streets. are dry. The prospects foran abundant crop the coming season were never more flattering. Quite a number of Allie Tyndall’s little school mates treated her to a birthday surprise party Wednesday evening. She was g years old. The evening was spent very enjoyably at games, recitations, songs, etc., and re- freshments were served. she will always prize very highly. Our chnistian brother Will ‘Thomas of Hibbing Sentinel, makes the follow- ing bluff at his constituents: “Some of our state exchanges have been dis- cussing the question of late whether or not an editor can be a christian. Hedon’thave to be He is “the elect.” Ifthe question was “can a christian be an editor?” there might be a chance for an argument.” The government boat built during the winter at Pokegama dam, is about completed and will be launched about the first of May. Richardson & Stevens have the contract to do the painting, and when the finishing touches have been put cn by Artist Richardson, who 1s personally super- intending the work, it will be a very, hondsome little craft. In reply toasquib printed in the Herald Review the other day relative to Grand Rapids’ Experimental farm and the fact that Aitkin county folks had to make atripto St. Anthony Park in order to see one, the Aitkin Age administers a merited rebuke to this paper, the which we beg to ac- knowledge, It was just a trifle un- kind to flaunt our victory tauntingly in thé face of an honorable compititor. There are no better fellows in the world than those of Aitkin and we ‘know of ‘no better or more productive 1 Miss Allie | | received a number of presens which | Last Saturday Mike Murray county in the state than Aitkin-~always excepting Itasca. 3 Living within a few miles of the gteat divide has many advantages that our people are apt to overlook except in times like these. While those south of us may have some ad- vantages not enjoyed by the northern pioneers, it is none the less true that we are just now enjoying a security that people along the riyer valleys would: give much to possess. Thous- ands of homes and many lives are be- ing washed away and milhons of do!- lars worth of property. is being des- troyed by the floods. But here at the headwaters of the Mississippi we are secure, serene and dry. All things considered, Grand Rap- ids 1s as well-regulated a town as one located in a lumbering district could be. There is very seldom any trouble requiring the interference of police. During the past week, however, there has been more “scraps” that savored of sensation than has occurred before in years, Fill up a “bad” man with bad whiskey and he’s sure to under- take a bigger job than he can handle successfully. One would-be tough man was effectually tamed during the week, who tried to repeal several village ordinances without due process o1 law. After thinking over the subject for several weeks, the Magnet has finally ventured to comment on the showing made by the last village council anent the cash policy, as shown in the Herald-Review, and brings forth. the logical and unanswerable argument that “it sounds fishy.” ‘hat settles it. The council should at once be. gin to squander what money there is | in sight as rapidly as possible and then make some more street improve- ments and the like, paying for the sume in orders. This fish business should be stopped at once. A complete re-arrangement of the Itasca Mercantile Co’s store is nuw going on, and the change will be an Improvement inasmuch as it will give opportunity to display goods in the large windows and leave the several departments more —_ conveniently arranged. ‘The office has been moved to the rear of the room, the shelving in the center of the building will be entrely removed, the space occupied by the drug department will be great- ly increased, and the general result will add largely to the con- vemience of the big store ia every way, Mrs. Lent will have her Easter op- ening of millenry goods on ‘Tuesday of next week. ‘Vhe large consign- ment of goods bought by Mrs. Lent on her trip to the cities has arrived and are now being arranged for the opening day. The ladies of Grand Rapids will be shown the finest stock of goods ever brought to Ltasca county in this line, and Mrs, * Lent proposes to sell at prices entirely in keeping with the times. She has en- gaged the services of a first-class milliner who is expected to anive Wednesday evening. A Premature Report. It is said at the general land office mm Washington that the statement pubhsied in Minnesota papers to the effect that patents had been ordered issued for lands embraced in the sus- pended Red Lake pine land entries is premature to say the least. Asa matter of fact,Commissioner Hermann only transmitted to Secretary Bliss a statement of the action of his office on these suspended entries witha request for instructions as to further proceedings. It is expected that Secretary Bliss will take some action in the matter in a short time. Sparring. Exhibition. O’Connell’s gymnasium is becom- ing a very popular resort tor all kinds of athletic sports these days, and dur- ing the past few weeks some lively ex- hibitions of sparring has taken place. and Frank Beaton had a go in which some good work was done by both parties, until Murray became excited }in the seventh round, and the fight was awarded to Beaton on a foul. On Thursday of this week Beaton and Frank Hart boxed four rounds when Hart fouled his adversary and Referee Lawrence decided the go in tavor of Beaton. The fnends of these two boys are anxious to see them try conclusions and it is likely that a purse of $50 a side will be made up and contested for in the near future. Behind the Times. In one Southern town a paper still advertises low rates to tbe worid’s fair, and another recently publised an account of the Atlanta exposition, which closed over a yerr ago. In Re however, people are more up: to-date, and, in fact, the whole orthwest has that modern spirt, evidenced by the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad, or Duluth Short Liue, as it is pepularly known. This line runs the most modein equipment rapidly over a smooth roudbed at | convenient hours, and makes close connections at_ handsome terminals. It wins the public because its trains are fast and comfortable,and it enjoys popularity with those who travel be- tween the Twin Cities and Duluth, West Superior, Stillwater and ‘Tay- Jor’s Falls. Always buy your ticket over the Duluth Short Line. For information apply to ticket agents, or write to C. E. Stone, Geueral Pas- senger Agent, Sv. Paul, Minn, On Saturday evening, April ru, the members of the Ladies society of the M. E. church will serve an Eygla- taire in the store building on Leland avenue next south of the Pokegama hotel.

S. Crandall wil! have her | millinery opening on Monday next, and extends a cerdial inyitation to the ladies of Grand Rapids and Itasca county to call, and examine the new spring stock. Map of The Kootenai. The most complete and artistic map of the rich mining region of the Kootenai and adjacent ierritory. in Washington and British Columbia, has just been published by the North- ern Pacitie Railway. It is just what is needed by’ those going to that country or who desire to study and know about it.

Baldwin Now that the president is be gin- ning to dispense some of the choice plums that be b: 1b bis disposal, it is being urged that a-change be made in the office of the Chippewa L[udian comumisssioner by the, substitution of some patriot Tor Major Baldwin, the present incumbent, says the Mississippi Valiey Lumberman, ' Major Baldwin has endeavored to make a record since he has held the office, but it is questionable whether the record he made is one that he should be proud of. He made a strong tight last fall against the corps of pine land estimators ap- pointed by Hoke Smith, when he was secretary of the interior, and largely at the suggestion of - this same Major Baldwin, but there was | a new secetary in last fall, to whom ! the irrepressible Major comiained that the .estimators were incompe- tent. No doubt his claim in this respect was justified by facts, but |} when it is considered that Major Baldwin had a finger in the appoint- ments his positon seems to be hardly tenable, but the estimators were discharged, and apew. corps ap- pointed and turned over to Major Baldwin. Under his direction they bave been working like beavers in the Leech Lake reservation for the last six wee's, according to Major Baldwin’s statements, and have ac- complished more than Hoke Smith’s corps, Which was also appointed at Major Baldwin’s suggestion, would have done in a whole year, and this also despite the fact that there was from four to six feet of snow on the ground while the estimating was going on.
