Storch yisited with friends at Deer River this week in company with Misses Sims and Rosser. Miss Della Brown returned Monday evening from a two weeks’ visit with friends and reJatives at Dulyth and Wadena. A. D. Brooks resigned the post- mastership at-Deer River and James Everton has heen appointed to fill the vacancy. The new foot bridge leading to the court hoyse is a decided improvement and is mugh appreciated by those who patronize it daily. : County Treasyrer A. A. Kremer and Alwin Kremer left on Monday to enjoy a three weeks’ yisit at their far- mer home, Saginaw, Mich. Capt. S, Webster, father of Fred H. of the Magnet, is here ona visit and will remain several weeks. Mr. Web- ster’s home js at Marshall, Minn. Hon. J. N. Marr was a visitor from Aitkin this week, He reports that there has beep a great loss of property in Aitkin county from the high water. To criticise the s) ntax of the Mag-! pet would be like calling attention to the fact that Wednesday rolls around once a week. Yes, the mangled syn- tax of the Magnet is very much a chestnut. ship trustees we desire to mention the The parlor musicale given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Gilbert last evening was quite largely attended and proved a decided success as a social event. Hon. J. N. True, prosecuting at- torney of Becker county, was in town this week, looking after business af- fairs and incidentally renewing old acquaintances. The Itasca Gun club will hold a meeting Monday evening at the office of Kremer & King for the purpose of considering the matter of holding a gun tournament at Grand Rapids sometime in October. The Deer River News says that the Itasca Logging company now has a force of nearly a thousand nen work- ing on the construction of the new logging road. The wages paid run from $20 to $26 per month. Judge and Mrs. Stilson received word this week from Seneca, Kansas, that the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wells had been gladdened by the ar- rival of a baby boy. Mrs. Wells is a daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Stilson, Richard Remus ts one of the Itasca county farmers whois not even excit- ed over the Klondyke discoveries of gold. Hes satisfied with his farm near Pokegama lake and the news of the world as provided weekiy through the Herald-Review. Col. Washburn, the sage of Trout lake, was in town Thursday and dis- tributed some prize vegetables among his friends, including the Herald-Re- view family. As a farmer and a gar- dener Mr. Washburn has no superior in Itasca county, Trustee W. R. Baumbach of the Itasca Mercantile company, returned from a visit to his family at Wadena this week, accompanied by his:twelve- year-old nephew, Ralph Baumbach. Master Ralph will remain with his uncle a couple of weeks. Jeweler Will Nisbett has rented the building next door south of the Lum- bermen’s kank on Kindred avenue formerly occupied by the Review. and will open a jewelry store therein about the fifteenth of August. He left for Chicago this week where he will buya stock. Attorney C. C. McCarthy returned from a trip to Washington the first of the week. He was very successful in his efforts ‘to advance the cutting of dead and down timber on the Chip- pewa reservation, for which he is en- titled to the thanks of all tue people of Itasca county. As a suggestion to the Grand Rapids schovl board and the town- | fact that similiar august functionaries elsewhere cause their proceedings to be published in some newspaper that the public may know what their ser- vants are doing and how they are do- ing it. For the information of those who are pondering over the golden stories which are wafted from Alaska, we will state that the Klondyke~ gold fields are 4,395 miles from San Fran- cisco, it belug 2,500 miles to the mouth of the Yukon, and up the river 1895 miles is located this uew Eldo- rado. These officers were installed in Ar- butus Rebekah lodge by D. D. G. M. Carrie Woodruff last Tuesday evening: P. N. G., Catherine McAlpine; N._G., Della Brown; V. G., Lydia Stevens; Secy., K. Managan; Con., Maggie Atherton; W., Mrs. D. W. Doran; Chap., Mrs. O’Connell; I. G., Mrs. Leahy; O. G., Susie Mooney. Under the law passed by the state legislature last winter barbers are now compelled to:procure a license from a state board appointed for that pur- pose by the governor. This week licenses have been issued to Ross Dodson, E. W. Fuller, Joe Day, - Leo Betz and B. F. Symmes. John Os- borne has also made application for a license. It doesn’t take the Hibbing News long to “get on” to a good fellow when he strikes that-town. Here 1s what it has to say ot one of Grand Rapids’ popular citizens: “F. A. Mc- Vicar, of Grand Rapids, one of the best land cruisers in the Northwest, is registered at the Irwin. He isin the employ of the Powers & Simpson Lumber company.” While going over the . Mississippi rapids at the foot of Leland avenue one day this week, P. H. Varley, and his son Harry had a narrow. escape from drowning. The boat capsized. Mr. Varley went down with the. swift current and could have easily landed, but Harry drifted into an eddy and disappeared. His father turned and swam back against the current, reach- ing the drowning boy just in time to save him. . Capt. H. D. Powers returned from from which place’she will sail on one of the lake steamers for Buffalo on Monday. She will be absent about three weeks. Muss Sims expects to return to Minneapolis on Monday. The young ladies say they exper- ienced a delightful time at the ter- minal town, notwithstanding the en- ergy and industry displayed by the mosquitoes in that locality. A call for the examination of teach- ersin Cass county, published last week, and signed by A. G. Bernard as superintendent, contains the fol- lowing paragraph: “Certificates will not be granted to persons of question- able moral character nor to persons lacking in ability to teach or govern a school.” The rank absurdity of this injunction can only be appreciated by those who know the Moose. -Ye gods, be merciful, when moral char- acter is to be judged and ability meas- ured by a lecherous leper and a men- tal mendicant. The practice of “yumping yobs” by men who are;hired to work in the woods of Itasca county after their fares have been advanced to carry them from Minneapolis or elsewhere, 1s likely to work considerable hard- ship to honest laborers. Wages may not be what men are entitled to for their labor and the work not the most desirable known, but these things can- not be remedied by dishonest meth- ods. Wages paid in this section are in keeping with conditions produced from economic policies endorsed by a majority of the people, and the only way to bring the desired remedy is through the ballot box. In the mean- time the employers of labor will dis- continue the practice of advancing fares to men in the cities if they cannot depend upon the men so hired. Horse Wanted. Anyone who has a reasonably good driving horse for sale and will sell at right price may find a buyer by ap- plying at the Herald-Review office. Gun Men, Attention, There will be an important meeting of the Itasca Gun club at the office of Kremer & King on Monday evening, August 2, All members are urgently requested to be present. By ORDER. Prof. Baskerville Resigns. Prof. R. J. Boskerville has tendered his resignation to the boaad as princi- pal of the Grand Rapids schools for the ensuing year. The professor has entered a medical college and has de- cided to permanently abandon teach- Ing. Will Log Extensively. C. C. McCarthy, -prosecuting attor- ney of Itasca county, was in the city today en route to Grand Rapids. » Mr. McCarthy said that the Minneapolis lumbermen are making preparations for extensive logging operations in Cass and Itasca counties this year. He looks for prosperous times throughout that section during the coming fall and winter. He expects that more logs will be cut during the coming season in that section than ever before.—Duluth Herald, Newton McFadden Suicided. A dispatch from Brainerd under date of July 26, says: “Newton Mc- Fadden shot himself with suicidal in- tent yesterday afternoon and died during the night. He was in the drug business in this city for over twenty- five years. For many years he has been a sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism, and ill health is sup- posed to be the cause for the act.” Mr. McFadden was one of the orig- inal townsite owners of Grand Rapids. . At the time of his death he still owned considerable village pro- perty here. He was a man ofa great deal of enterprise and did much to advance the early building of ‘this town. He donated the present site of Hotel Pokegama and a_ portion of the land now occupied by the court house and jail. Mr. McFadden had many warm friends among the early settlers here who heard of his un- timely passing with much sorrow. The Topaz. : The topaz took its name from:a word meaning ‘to guess,’ as the an- cients could only guess where the beautiful stone was to be found. There is no guess-work about the popularity of the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad, or Duluth Short Line as. it is more generally termed. People know it and crowd its trains, especi- ally during the summer season, when the population flocks to its many summer resorts. It is emphatically the line for the business man and the the gun tournament at Duluth Thurs- day evening. He did not do himself justice, owing to the fact that the traps used were entirely different from those of the Itasca club. His average was below 75, while the score books of the local club show that his record here teached nearly 90 per cent. Some of the best shots in the West took part in the Duluth tournament, and the Ingh average was only go, pleasure seeker, as it runs fast, finely equipped trains between St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior and other points and stops en route at summer resorts which cannot be surpassed in thisor any other coun- try. The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof, and one has only to go with the crowd and see for him- self.

Jones and others in the service, but aside from this no voice will be raised in defence of these agencies of destruction nor to advocate their continuance in the future. It is estimated that back of the two dams in this county there is destroyed every year over seventy-five thousand acres of land, upon which would now be cut and marketed yearly more than 10,000 tons of hay. The natural meadow lands north and west of Grand Rapids that are con- stantly inundated with back-water would yield sufficienf to supply the entire demand of this section. As it is, hay is shipped into Grand Rapids for consumption by the loggers and others and never sells, for less than $10 per ton and from that to $15 per ton. Not only this, but the richest and most accessible farming lands in the county are also. rendered utterly worthless. Those people whose lands have been virtually confiscated and made valueless have never been able to even obtain a hearing from the de- partment and it has become apparent that through Col. Jones’ bureau they never will be able to recover a dollar, so long as he can prevent it, for the damages they have sustained. The only hope of rehef rests with the peo- ple of this district. Strong petitions to the congressional representative, backed by continuous agitation of the subject, until the absurd, unnecessary injustice and the criminal use of gov- ernment funds is brought fo cibly to the attention of the proper autho. ities. This may finally result in a cessation of appropriations, and thus restore the lands that are today uselessly de- stroyed, put a stop to future interfer- ence with log driving and save thou8- ands upon thousands of dollars an- nually not only to the government ex- chequer but as well to the people of Itasca and other counties who have so long endured this defenceless pub- he nuisance. THE WINNIPEG ROAD. Attorney General Cameron, of Manitoba, Looking After the Minnesota End. J. D. Cameron, attorney gen- eral of the province of Man- itoba, who has been spending several days in Minneapolis, is said to be looking after the Minnesota end of the Duluth & Winnipeg railroad which the Manitoba government is backing. It would be necessary to incorporate a company under the laws of Minnesota to build all that portion of the line—about three-fourths— which would lie in Minnesota, and Mr. Cameron is supposed to be pre- paring the way for incorporation under the state laws. He does not deny that such is the case, but makes no definite statements. However, he expresses himself as confident that the road will be built and thinks that it will be of great advantage to the Canadian Northwest. “Il think the line will surely be built,’’ said Mr. Cameron this morn- ing, ‘‘and I believe that it will prove a paying investment. We will not only tap the wheat fields of Manitoba, but it will pass through the timber regions of Northern Minnesota and the iron ranges. I believe the only ; thing that prevents the building of the road at once is the determination of our people to be assured that they willhavea lasting contract giving them the cheap freight rates they ask,” Speaking about railroad building, Mr. Cameron says that it is quite pos- sible that an extension of the Duluth, Port Arthur & Western will be built into the Rainy Lake gold fields this summer and fall, “The chief trouble with the road at present is that isa blind road. That may also be the trouble in the future. It is proposed to build to Lake of the Woods and then cross that lake to a point where there are so many islands that a number of short bridges would answer. Itis doubtful, though, if such a crossing is feasible. If that is found impossible it is proposed to swing to the south of Lake of the Woods and around into Winnipeg that way. The Toronto government has given the road a subsidy of $3200 a mile and the Dominicn government has now offered to double that sub- sidy if the cost is over $15,000 per mile and equal it if it is less. Messrs. Ma- than and MacKenzie, who bought out the old owuers of the Duluth, Port Arthur & Western, are now in Eng- land trying to finance the extension. A party of engineers went into the country two or three weeks ago and much depends upon their report. I have been informed that the line will certainly be extended if Mr. Mac- Kenzie is assured that iron can be found in paying quantities. He ev- idently thinks more of the prospect- ive iron mines than the Rainy Lake gold mines. It is believed that the Minnesota iron range extends into Canada.” There are a great many delinquen- sies now on the Herald-Review’s sub- | scription books.
