Ata recent meeting of the village council Village Attorney Pratt was in- structed to draw up acurfew ordi- nance.

Johnston made a trip to 60-25 this week with a war- rant for the arrest of Tommy Smart, who was charged with receiving stolen property from two sons of Emil Litch- ke.

Teacher’s All Engaged for the Ensuing Term—Prof. Danby, Principal. The school board has finally «com- pleted the hst of teachers for the en- suing term of school, which opens on Tuesday next. Prof. D. E. Danby has been en- gaged as principal. Prof. Danby comes with the best’possible recom- mendations. He holds a certificate from the state normal school at Man- kato, and also a life certificate from the state of South Dakota. He has had a number of years’ experience as principal of some of the larger schools in the state. The otherrooms will be presided over as follows in the. order named, trom senior room down to the primary; Mfsses Bessie Brady, Mar- garet Doran, Mae McLennan, Filor- ence Hine, Chink Cleveland, Hattie F. Gibson, Lena McCarthy. Mrs. Grove had accepted a position in another school before being noti- fied of her selection to teach here, and Miss Hine was, engaged in_ her place. Miss Hattie Brooks will teach the Deer River school; Miss Mabelle Brady, Swan River; Miss Hattie Allen, Faulkener school; F. M.Wood- ruff, Trout Lake; Steve Leahy, Black- berry; Mrs. F. Jondreau, Cohasset. A school house will be built at Split Hand, and a term of school begun as early as possible. Miss Jessie Lawrence has donated a site fora school at Cohasset and a building now upon the ground will be bought by the board for school purposes. A Beautiful Place. In the years to come, when indus- try has added the beauties of cultiva- tion and the grandeur of magnificent structures to the already picturesque surroundings of Grand Rapids, there will be no spot more commanding and no institution situated more delightfully than the Itasca county home for our dependent poor, Change goes apace with time, and the future will bring new Officers to manage county affairs, but the Herald-Review ventures to make the prediction that-the people of Grand Rapids and Itasca county will praise the judgment and foresight of the men who served as commission- ers in 1896 when the present poor tarm site was selected, The building erected last year will be sufficient in size and convenience to care for the county’s poor for many years, while the improvements that are now under way clearly show that a splendid farm. of 160 acres will be yielding bountifully in a very few years. Under the super- mtendency of Morris Buckley the farm has been splendidly managed this year and the crops are all looking fine. Mr. Buckley has applied the same methods and industry to the farm work that any intelhgent and industrious farmer would give to his own fields. With very httle assistance he has kept up the improvements and added largely to the surroundings of the premises since taking charge’ last spring. Besides putting in and care- ing for the crops, he has erected a number of buildings on the place for the care of stock, thus laying the foundation to make the farm almost self-sustaining. He has graded about the place and will seed the grounds this fall. Next year will witness a very decided improvement in the ap- pearance of the place. Pianos at Less Than Cost.

PENDERGAST. {Continued from page 1,] yet to be, and with a wisdom beyond his years, he made his choice. ‘The opportunities for young men in the cities are limited; the opportunities for ycung men in the country are il- limitable. The power and ability of a young man in the city is cireyum- scribed and bounded by the four walls of an office, by ruts and grooves, by conditions, by artificial — barriers, The power and ability of the young man in the country is free, and limit- ed only by itself. The country pre- sents to the young man a field to work and possibilities as boundless as nature. Warren W. Pendergast saw all this and he saw more. He saw that the work and success of men in the cities was lergely selfish, that is, confined to the individual. He saw that in the country he could work for all man- kind, He saw that scientific farming, philosophic farming, intelligent farm- ing, was the open door through which millions of his fellow men could walk to happiness and prosperity. The possibilities of agriculture are as illimitable as nature, and although one of the oldest of human ayoca- cations, it is one of the least under- stood. In the heart of the great forests of Northern Minnesota, with hundreds of miles of practically unsettled country all around, with the free air around him, the bright, blue sky above him anda soil beneath his feet ready to respond to his intelligent touch, Warren W. Pendergrst took his stand for human advancement. He opened the gateway to a realm of glory and beckoned to his fellow men to come and lovk; and as he stood, enraptured with the vision, his face all radiant with light, still pointing to the field beyond, the Angel of death touched him and he fell. He fell, but we who are left behind have but to look and we can see him still with hands outstreched beckoning us on to those fields of human endeavor where men ure free and independent, into that realm where the future is forever bright—tne limitless realm of nature. BIOGRAPHICAL, The St. Paul Pioneer Press con- tained the following semi-biographical sketch, written by a friend and close associate of Mr. Pendergast: As already announced, Warren W. Pendergast, superintendent of the Northeast experimental farm at Grand Rapids, died at his father’s residence in Hutchinson Thursday, after an ill- ness of several weeks. He was the youngest son of W. W. Pendergast, state superintendent of public instruc- tion, and a 96 gradyate of the state university. Though the youngest officer in the expermental station, Mr. Pendergast held an unusual place in the thought of the people of the University of Minnesota and especial- ly was he highly valued in the depart- ment of agriculture. That he should have been taken from the living seems especially unfortunate as in the pecu- liar sphere he had entered there seemed so much for himself and so much of good for the state and the world. Nine years ago when Prof. Pender- gast opened up the school of agricul- ture as its first principal, he brought with him as one of the students his youngest son, a boy of thirteen. Two years later Warren graduated with the first class with high honors and in two years nore he received a diploma at the Huchinson high school. ‘hough his father lived in town and had ‘been a professional man during Warren’s entire life, he conducted two profitable farms. Here Warren spent his vacations, learning the practical wusiness of farming. The father had strong taste for horti- culture and his gardens and farms were experimental grounds in which the young boy received much inform- ation. ‘lhe father’s library- had a goodly stock of agricultural books and though Warren was the youngest member of his class in the school of agriculture one of his teachers said he had the widest acquaintance with agricultural literature -and the new agriculture generally of any of those who entered the school with him, il- lustrating the value to the farm youth of a good home hbrary of agricultural books. After graduation from the school of agriculture he was the con- stant adviser and assistant of his father in managing the farms and eventually he became the owner of one of them and was managing it in a most admirable mannez, In 1892 he entered the college of agriculture in the univergigy, graduat- ing with high honors in 1896, a short time before arriving at his majority, During his college course he was re- peatedly honored by his fellow stu- dents, being chosen editor jn chief of the Gopher, editor of the Kara, Stu- ev and to other positions, much conpetitiye debal oratorical and similar work during his college ¢gaurse, and besides doing all these things in, addition to } getting high marks in_ his ‘studies, he earned a large part of his college ex- penses by dong office work during the college year and assisting in ex- periment work during the summer va- cation at University farm. ifs capa- city for turning off wotk was very un- usual in college students. ‘Those in authority at the experiment station were constantly muindfui of young Pendergast’s powers and promises of usefulness in agriculture, and early chose him as eminently qualified for superintendent of one of the outside experiment stations. He had distin- guised himself in his agricuitural, horticultural and botanical studies and when he was proposed for the super- intendency of the Northeast farm all agreed that the place and the man were peculiarly fitted for each other. He assumed his duties early in the spring of 1896, a few months before his graduation for the university. The soils, field crops, garden crops and the stock there needed experi- mentation, Among other important interests of this Northeastern two- fifths of Minnesota are its immense forests. Great ability was needed to bnng order out of the chaos and to develop a system of forestry, first to find what should be done and then to lead the people and the state into do- ing it. Developing the new timbered farm into an experiment station, the great region two hundred miles square, in the middle of which the board of regents of the university had placed him, was begun at once. Fully appreciating the largeness and diffi- culty of his work and the great results his friends expected of him, his natur- al modesty at times allowed him to feel almost overwhelmed. He went manfully at his task, how- ever, gradually mastered and evolved in detail the plans for fields, buildings, gardens and ornamental plantations. A good crop was grown in 1896, ona portion of the farm that was improv- ed prior to its acquirement by the ex- periment station and many valuable experiments were carried on as to the kinds of crops which can be grown and the manner of growing them. More fields were cleared, drained and fenced, new buildings were erected and a most attractive place made. With other work Mr, Pendergast had traveled much by train, team, canoe and on foot in studying the soils, the farms and especially the forests of Northeastern Minnesota. He had so fully mastered the general forestry situation in Minnesota that at a meet- ing of the State Forestry association last winter he read a paper containing general propositions which received the highest commendation. An elder- ly man high in educational and in- dustrial affairs ofthe state was heard to remark; “That is the mind of a fifty- year-old man, though the boy has barely passed his twenty-first birth- day.” Dr. B. E. Fernow, chief of the forestry division of the department of agriculture at Washington, upon reading the above mentioned address sent Mr. Pendergast a most compli- mentary letter expressing great satis- faction at the broad practical view of the entire forest problems in Min- nesota, His travels among the lum bering operations, and thus meeting the lumbermen, supplementing his education at the university, were pre- paring him for most useful work in developing a forestry policy in the state. He was already gaining that jeadership which is needed to unite not only those who feel a philanthrop- 1c interest in the forests, but those who have the present commercial interests in the lumber, and also the legislators into a:common movement which shall plan to grow and harvest our immense forests according to a rational system, somewhat as is done in European countries, This seemed to be his largest immediate work, and it was well worthy the life tine efforts of our bnghtest man. This young man might have been called up higher as he was made of the kind of material needed at the head of our largest institutions, His contemplated winter studies abroad; his osportunities as teacher in winter at the college of agriculture, his research work, his training at public speaking, his literary work, the valuable literature already collected in his library, and many other forces were at work making him able to build in reality what those nearest him were wont to erect as i Giese A AR IRE a that | Po Pe ators ack the, atl death. The state needs ul tical men to build up its agriculture, The appreciation the of Grand Rapids and vicimity had for this young ~ man is the very strongest proof that Northeastern Minnesota and the state at large would have received benefits from his work had he spared for it. Two $190,000 Trains. @ On the first af June, 1897, the Bur- lington Route placed in service be- tween Minneapalis and St. Paul and Chicago, two new trains, built at a cost of considerable more than $100,- 000 each, and recognized. by everyone who has seen them, as the finest trains on earth. The trains are-lighted by electrici- ty; heated by steam; have wide vesti-~ bules, ala carte dining car, a buffet library car, chair cars—everything, in brief, that any other train has and some things that no other train has, No extra fares.
