Stilson has filed his petition, as an applicant for the Grand Rapids portmastership with Congress- man Morris, and with the department ot Washington. ‘The petition contains the signatures of nearly every busi- ness man inthe county, and when the appointment 1s finally made the | judge’s application cannot well be ignored.

Ered’s interests in the south seem to demand much at- tention of late, but it 1s reported on good authority that during the pres ent year all wifl be removed to Hib- bing.—Hibbing Sentinel, The Omnibus appropriation bill only carried a total of $6500 for ! the Grand Rapids experimental farm which must last during the next two years. ‘The management will be com- pelled to practice the strictest econ- omy to keep the wolf from the doog on that sum. There will be services at the Pres- !bytenan church next Sunday, con- ducted by the Rev. W. H. Whipple, Mr. Whipple was a mis- ionary in Armenia for several years. are on the All are Armenians. Mr. E. P. Stone of Saginaw, a member of the firm of Stone-Ordean company, has been here during the week looking after the Lapraine stock of goods. It is rumored that the company will remove the stock to Deer River, but the report has not yet been confirmed. Members of the firm made a visit to Deer River last evening. General Manager D. M. Philbin of the D. S. & W. railway, was here dur- |ing the week and went up. to the end of the lime. Mr. Philbin said he was unable to throw any hghton the sub- ject of extension. There seems to have been no move made in that direction up to date. Al. Bisbee, who put in the winter cooking at Miller’s camp, has invent- ed a combination lock, which prom- ises to yield him a fortune, and upon which he has applied for a patent. Itis avery simple contrivance and can be manufactured at about ohe- half the present cost of such locks. F. E. Brown writes from Williams- ' town, N. Y.«that he is having a high old time on the campus ot his boy- hood days, and will remain there un- tithe first of May. He says times are good in the east—able-bedied, in- dustrious young men hiring out for the season at $8 per month—and lad to find positions at that price. A man running a paper, or any old thing, inthe Rainy Lake country, is likely to experience more or less hard- ships in trying to keep abreast of the times, as witness the following from the last issue of the Ramy Lake Jour- nal: “It will be noted that the devll of the Journal is an expert at hand- Img the shears. It’s a case of the shears are mightier than the pen. Anyhow he’s had a “devil” of a time getting the paper ready. And the worst of it 1s that his trials may con- tinue until navigation opens, as the supreme editor will not be likely to return until'that time, as the road_be- tween here and ‘lower is aimost im- On _ his last trip over the route, the mail carrier was obliged to swim his pony in a number of places,” Last ‘Tuesday evening the Right Rev. Morrison, Bishop of the Duluth Mission, delivered an able address to a crowded house in the rooms used by the Episcopals, in the old school building. He chose as a text a part of the sth verse of the 3rd chapter | ef the book of Joshua, “Sanctify your- selves for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” He is an able and entertaining speaker and his re- marks received the closest attention from every one present. After the close of the services those present adjoining room where the ladies of the society had, prepared an elegant lunch, that was served to all comers.

H. Stilson, for the purpose of grading the Grand Rapids schools. James Woodard of Deer River 1s one of the thrifty settlers who have come to Itasca county and found farming to be profitable. He was one of the sufferers from the terrible Hinckley fire and immediately there- after he came to Itasca county and took a homestead on the line of the Itasca Logging company’s road, five miles from eer River. When Mr. Woodard and his wife landed at the terminal town he had just seven dol- lars in his pocket. Finding employ- ment he at once went to work and soon after filed on a piece of govern- ment land. ‘his spring he wiil have about seven acres cleared and under cultivation He has a good house, now beginning to accumulate some stock.

Arbutus Rebekah Lodge Will Entertain at Pythian Hall Monday Evening. The ladies of Rebekah lodge have been making preparations for some time for their first annual ball to be given next Monday evening at Pythian hall. ‘The committees appointed have been very. energetic in looking after every detail, and it is now very evi- dent, judging from the number of tickets already sold, that the affair will be an unquahfied success. Good music has been secured, and supper will be served by Dave Chambers, which is a sufficient guarantee that it will be first-class. Do you want your house painted? | Richardson & Stevens can do it. Cashier Hense of the Aitkin Bank Wanted in the State of Washington. The St. Paul Globe gives an ac- | count in a recent issue of the troubles ot Cashler Hense ot the Aitkin coun- ty bank. It reports that he had been indicted by a grand jury in the state of Washington on a charge of | larceny in connection with tie failure of two banks in that state in which he was interested, and extradiuion papers were presented to Goy. Clough tor his | signature, but he refused to become a party to what he thought was a per- ! secution instead of a prosecution. C. W. Johnson, who represents the state of Washington, has_ been in St. Paul for the past two weeks and has been a frequent calier at the governor’s 6f- fice, but his efforts to secure the re- turn of Hense have proved fruitless, as the governor decided upon the above course of action after a tho- rough review of the case. The gov ernor has also been the recipient of many cailers from Aitkin county, who | appeared in behalf of Hense, ‘They were all strong in the belief that he is | an honest man, and they did not want | to see him turned over to authorities | of Washington for trial. After a tho- rough investigation of the case they were satisfied that Hense was not a criminal. Hense was some years ago a banker in Princeton, Minn. From Princeton he went to Washington, where he organized a bank. Later he connected himself with a second bank in that state and was doing a good business, wien the panic of 1893 came. His banks were forced to the wall. A year anda half after, as soon as his affairs could be put in order, Hense returned to Minnesota. He located in Aitkin, and for some time has been the. cashier of the bank in that village. Richardson & Stevens handle wall paper. A SMALL CUL OF LOGS. The Season Just Closed Has Yielded Little Profit to the Loggers. In summing up the result of the winter’s work in the woods hereabouts, Correspondent W. Ti. Dunne, sent out the following report, which 1s as neatly correct as is possible to compile figures relative to the season’s log cut: The log cut of the concerns whose business centers at Grand Rapids foots up 165,000,000 feet for the past sea- son. Ofthis amount 7,500,000 feet covers the logs cut on sireams that flow northward and that will be de- livered to Canadian mills’ The bal- | ance will be driven to the Mississippt | and down to Minneapolis, ‘These fig- ures include 10,000,000 feet cut near Hibbing, but does not include any- thing cut farther east upon the Mesa- ba tron range. Neither does it in- clude the logs that are cut in the Red lake country, those that run to Clo- quet, nor those tnat go from Leech lake southeastward to Brainerd. On- ly half as many men were employed in these woods last winter as com- pared with the previous season, and they had a hard, unprofitable time of it JM the deep snow. They started in} | tour of the Prof. A. W. Rankin, of Munnea- ) late ard are through early, Very few looked for the wind-up before April 10, yet most of the loggers had “broke camp” on April 1. Old pioneer lum- bermen hke George McAlister say it was the worst season for Jogging they ' ever saw in Minnesota. .[he snow was deep, and, as it covered ground | that was not frozen, the swamps had many soft spots all winter, making hauling risky, especially for heavy loads. Toward the last the weight of the snow upon the ice caused water to come up on the lakes. When the runners of the logging sleighs are cov- ered with lake water the hauling looks more dangerous than it really is. It was undoubtedly a good thing that men who have heretofore been in the habit of taking contracts on a small scale were unable, in most cases, to do so during the past season, on account of the unfavorable business conditions. The large operators who have been in the field have had to exercise all their skill in order to make any money, and even now much depends upon the success they have in driving the logs to their destination. Log driving will begin. about April 20 on the swift running streams, but where the drives have to be taken through lakes work will be delayed considerably. To Poultry Raise: s.

Grant’s Achievement as a Peacemaker The honors and attentions show- ered upon General Grant during his world are, perhaps, un- equaled in the history of kingiy hos- pitaiity. He was received everywhere as the greatest soldier of his tme and as the foremost living American. ‘Hon. Jokn Russell Young, who ac- companied General Grant throughout the famousjourney, graphically recalls in the May. Ladies Home Journal, its conspicuous incidents: the receptions, dinners, fetes, balls, etc., given in hon- or of the illustrious American. It is said that Mr, Young brings to I'ght a fact that has received but passing at- tention: that General Grant was in- | strumental in arranging the terms of a treaty of peace between China and Japan, which prevented an outbreak of war between those nations, Egglaiaire.
