The Greenwich In- surance company has been in busi- ness uninterruptedly for sixty-two years. Col. Cooper, who has been the guest ot Manager J.

He came to Itasca county determined to jland some fine specimens of muskal- longe: and this morning as he alighted man in town. He had two magnific- ent muskallonge, one weighing 15 14 pounds and the other 25. Tne larg- est he sent to the Kitchi Gamme club in Duluth. ‘The colonel is dehghted with his success, and dreads to think of the approaching day when he must leave for home. This afternoon he accompanied Hon. D. M. Gunn, Banker Gilbert and C. C. Kelly out to Deer Lake, where the party will fish for black bass. Jeweler Will Nisbett and wife re- turned from their tnp to Chicago and elsewhere, and Mr. Nisbett expects to be re-established in business in a few days. While absent Mr. and Mrs, Nisbett attended the wedding of Miss Sadie Wasson, sister of Mrs. Nisbett, to Burt P. Munson, which took place at Minneapolis on the roth _ inst. The following is from the Minnea- sonight and start on a cruise the hrst of' polis Times: “The marriage of Miss 1c from the train he was the happiest} Sadie Wasson of Grand Rapids, Minn., to Burt P. Munson, deputy in the — surveyor-general’s office, was quietly celebrated in this city Wednes- day evening. The ceremony was performed at 8 E Fourteenth street, Rev. J. M. Atwood officiating. Miss Alice Munson, sister of the groom, was maid of honor, E. F. Cumstock acted as best man. A wedding sup- per was served after the ceremony, to the small circle of friends present. Among the guests were: Mas. D. R. Munson, Mr. and Mrs. F.O. Munson, Mrs. H, E. Love, Mr. and Mrs. Sher- man, Mr.and Mrs. Will Nisbett of Grand Rapids. Mr. and Mrs. Mun- | son took the evening train for Duluth. Upon their return, they will be at home at 8 E Fourteenth stre :t. Only Three Trains on Earth Worthy of comparison with the Burlington’s ‘Minneapolis and St. Paul-Chicago Limited.’? One in Eu- rope; two east of Chicago—none west. So beautiful, so luxurious, so costly a train has never before been at the disposal of the traveling public of the Northwest. Electric lighted. Steam heated. Wide vestibuled compartment sleep- ers, diner, buffet libri car. No ex- tra fares. {IT WILL BE BUILT. Fosston Branch of the Great Northern to be Extended This Fall. The Duluth Evening Herald contained the following interesting railroad news: ‘The Fosstou branch of the Great Northern railway will be built this fall may be put down as an assured fact. There has been rumors more than once that the extension was to be built, but these were never especially definte but lately, however, the information has been of a more definite nature and there is little doubt that wheat will be coming in over the road next fall. The Herald heard,several days ago from a source very close to the inside that the road would positively be built this fall and now in corrobora- tion of this comes the statement from Fosston that supplies are already ar- riving there addressed to Foley Bro- thers, the railroad contractors, who do so much work for the Great North- ern road, and it is claimed that they have the contract, which is more than likely. It is understood, too, that their outfit. now at work on the Cavalier extension in North Dakota will be transferred to Fosst $s soon as the work there is completed. As near as can be learned here the extension will be built to connect with the Duluth, Supe.ior & Western railway and those who seem to know most about the Great Northern’s plans say that road controls the Superior & Western, and that the conflict between the Great Northern and the Canadian Pacific roads over this extension resulted in the latter’s giving over this property to the former.. A prominent railaoad official de- clared recently that this line across Northern Minnesota is the best rail- road proposition in the United States, and that if Jim Hill does not build it some one else will. This probably ex- {plains why Mr. Hill is going to build. He certainly cannot want to, for it will simply mean that he will have to |ship several million bushels of grain, ; which now go to Minneapolis by a long haul, direct to Dulath by a shorter haul and cheaper rate. He is practically forced to build it to save himself. Several schemes are on foot now to build such a line and he must do it to save himself. The conviction that the line is to be built at once is very strong. One of the leading grain men said today that wheat wou!d be coming over the line next fall. “Finest Train On Wheels” That is what Mr. Pullman says of of the Burlington's new train be- tween Minneap< and St. Paul and Chi Fivisbed thro ut in roya hion, with w vestibules, ‘steam heat and electric light, and mposed of comy buffet library ¢ it is wi abroad. ment and sleep- ', chair cars and out an equal in No extra e dining ear, this country or fares. Womau’s Sphere. The Empress of Germany is said to agree with her imperial husband that woman’s sphere is the kitchen, the nursery and the home. She may be right from ber stadpoint, but woman’s real sphere, from the appearance of things, is the country bordering the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad, where lovely woman. has been beautifying the numerous summer resorts this season. The Duluth Short Line has sv many potent attractions that it is impossible to enumerate them, and, besides, it offers practical advantages to the business men and the pleasure seeker, because fast, morden trains ‘run smoothly and at convenient hours toand between St. Paul, Duluth, West Superior and other points, ; where close connections are made with boats and trains running to all points of the compass. Always take the Duluth Short Line and be in the swim. ‘Ticket agents wil! furnish maps, circulars and general informa- tion, or they may be had by writing to C. E. Stone, General Passenger Agent, St. Paul, Minn. MUST DEPEND ON LUMBER. Special Agent Benda Reports on the Ne- cessity of Cutting Reservation Timber. E.Bender, special agent of the in- terior depertment, who is here to in- vestigate the damaged timber on the Leech Lake Indians reservation, with a view to letting a contract for cut- ting it, returned this morning from a trip to the reservation. To an Evening Herald reporter he said that the berry and wild rice crop on Leech Lake and Winnibigoshish reresva- tions on which the Indians largely depend to carry them through the winter, are practically failure. There are some red raspberries, but not nearly as many as usual and there is scarcely enough of the wild rice to pay for gathering. The result is that the Indians have grown very anxions about the timber contracts, as they will have to depend almost_ entirely on the employment which they expect from that source to keep the wolf from their doors during the winter months. Last winter the Indians on these reservations suffered great hardships, and the prospects are that. their condition next winter will be even worse, unless considerable log- ing is done there. Mr. Bender has found that there is about 100,000,000 feet of damaged pine on these reservations which should be cutas speedly as possible. Ife ex- pects that about 25.000,000 feet will be cut during the fall and winter. ‘Che contract will be let about Oct. 1.— Duluth Herald. Ex-Secretary Richard Olney has entered the ranks of the defenders of President Andrews cf Brown Univers- ity. Mr. Olney is a graduate of Brown, an has always taken a deep intrest in the university. Last-week he wrote a strong protest to the faculty, in which he vigorously de- fended independence of thought, the rightof free speech and condemned the trustees for practically dismissing President Andrews. Mr. Olney re- fused to give acopy of the letter to the public but says that if the faculty thinks it worth publishing it is wolcome to do so.

An adjourned meeting of the Village Council ‘of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, was aeraee the Village hall on Friday, August Present: President Powers, Trustees O'Connell and Decker and Recorder King. Minutes of last meeting were read and ap- proved. The following bill was on motion allowed as charged and warrant authorized drawn for the umount: Smith & Riddell, biacksmithing. .. wn 315 The following resolutions were presented and read, viz: j RESOLUTION. Be it resolved.

The season for Deer is open from October 25 to November 15. 10. Woodcock, Snipe, Plover, Prairie Chicken, Pinnated, White Breasted or Sharp-tailed Grouse, September 1 to November 1. Wild Duck of any variety or Wild Goose or Brant, or any variety of Aquatic Fowl whatever, Sept. 1 to April 15. Bass, May 15 to March 1; Trout, May 1 to Sept. 1. Itis apparent that the number of visiting sportsmen to Itasca county this season will be far greater than ever before. Especially is this true of those in quest of the larger game, deer, moose and caribou. It will be observed that the gun tournament will be held at a time most convenient for the visitors to take advantage of a magnificent opportunity ato win ad- ditional laurels in the forests where deer and moose abound. After five years of total prohibition by statelaw concerning the killing of moose and caribou, an act of the last legislature allows a five days’ season yearly, of this incomparable sport. Ib is con- ceded by men who have hunted moose and deer in the most famous resorts of the United States where these animals are found, that Itasca coun- ty, as a field for this sport, is not sur- passed by any region of the country known to the fraternity. Duck shooting has long been one of the principal features of this section that attracts the attention of seekers for aquatic fowls. With over two thous- and lakes in Itasca county, filled with the gamiest of the finny tribe, the fisherman will find here a paradise of delight. The desirability of holding the Itasca gun tournament on the dates selected was suggested by the Jarge number of letters received by members of our club from devotees of tte gun and rod who have signified their intention to enjoy the shooting and fishing of Itasca county during the open season. It became evident that during the last days of October and early in November there will be centered at Grand Rapids repre°enta- live sportsmen from nearly every quarter of the United States, and it is unnecessary to add that among vur visitors some of the crack shots of the country will be included. The hotel facilities of Grand Rapids are sufficient to accommodate all comers with generous hospitality and ex- cellent service. Hotel Pokegama and the Gladstone are thoroughly equip- ped with all modern comforts, in- cluding steam heat, electric lights, ete.,and the patron may be sure of receiving all the conveniences afford- ed by the leading hotels of the larger cities. All these attractions will combine to make your fall outing in Itasca county, with headquarters: at Grand Rapids, a memorable, enjoy- able success. Competent guides can always be’ secured, at reasonable prices, to direct hunter or fisherman. Better than the Best.

Howard received a letter this week from his son in-law, Wm. J.Wall- ace, who left Grand Rapids July 25 for the Klondyke gold region of Alas- ka. Mr. Wallace, who formerly lived in Saginaw, Mich., joined a party of five from that city at Elk River. They reached Alaska nine days after starting and. Mr. Wallace says he and his companions were ready to start through the pass leading to the famous fields of yellow fortune. So far as the party had progressed they found the situation about as represent- ed, and as they are all well provided with provisions and funds, no difticul- ty is anticipated by them. Mr. Wall- ace says that those who go into that country should be well prepared to meet hardships, but when this is done there is no more danger than was to be met in northern Minnesota in the days before civilization established it- self here. Mr. Howard will leave for Alaska early in the spring. Palaces On Wheels ‘The Burlington's new Minneapolis and St. Paul-Chicago and St. Louis train consists of: A buffet library car.
