The valentine social given by the Ladies’ Catholic Union at the village hali on Monday evening last was fair- ly attended, and was a_ success both socially and financially. It wasa unique afiair in the shape of a card party. partners being found by means of valentines, one half of which was given t> the attendants as they edthbe hall. To find your vis-a-vis for the opening game you had to locate the possessor of the half of the valentine which mated the one half held by you. This occasioned much amusement and some y ry grotesque | figures were tormed when odd halves } were placed together; and mirth ran above pat before all found their part- ners. Progressive pedro was the game played, and the first pi ras finally ; contested for by Mrs. Sheppard and won by being cap- H. E. Richardson, and the former. the booby pri tured by Mrs, Curran. An entertainment will be given by St. Joseph church, on St Patric’s day. E. F. Clark, an alleged sewing machine agent, who has been trying his best to “do up” some of our. citi- zens here, was given his leave of ab- sence by Marshall Collette and left this week to pra e his game in other parts. It is thought by the police that this. Clark is the man wanted for pract ly the same of- fence in North Dakota. J. H.

Mr. French recently ted Bemiji, and becoming impressed with the future business prospects of the town he purchased a restaurant business there, and came home after his family. His many friends in this neighborhood wish him every success in his new home. F. P.

A New Lodge, ' Thirty-four years ago today the or- der of Knights of Pytbias was. tirst brought into existence by Justus .H. Rathborn, Even in his — wildest dreams of the future growth of the great work of his live, did he realize how this, one of the greatest secret societies of modern times, would leap to the front rank of fraternal organ- izations ina littleovera third of a century. It is customary for tie members of the order to celebrate the birthday of the order and the mem- bers of the Uniform Rank K. P. of Grand Rapidsbave planned to give their third annual ball, on next Monday evening, celebrating at. one and the same time the anniversary ot the immortal Washington.

The prospects for a railroad to this country are bright, says the Rainy Lake Journal. We have a great many inducements, but the inducees do not seem to appreciate their importance. Mr. Washburn, of the Minneapolis, Anoka & Rainy Lake Railway to be, has large. interests quite near us, so that the railroad would be built with the three-ply object cf accommodat- ing. Mr. Washburn, giving a direct road to the Mesaba range for the Minneapolis iron mills at Columbia Heights, and incidentally giving th country an outlet in Minneapolis. We have large forests of spruce and other timber here. We have large‘de- posits of kaolin. Lots of roc« for pavements. Deposits of coal more or less extensive and numerous other things, all of which would be valuable to increase’ the traffic of railroads The field is here. There are paying copper mines, and immense deposits of iron pyrites, which are valuable in the manutacture of sulphuric acid. There are numerous water powers which would enable various industries to be established which would make traffic for a railroad. There are lakes full of edible fish. This country would furnish the late markets with blue- berries and strawbeiries, and there are other resources too numerous to men- tion, which would make this region very profitable for a railway. Still they shun us, though we cannot see why they do not investigate thoroughly and prove that we are no blufters. “Tf the region promises so much it is cer- tainly worth while to investigate it. The field is here. It. is a wide one and the varied resources are useless unless it is invaded by railroads and becomes available. oCut flowers, may be purchased at the store of ‘ Mrs. K, C. Lent.

STATE Of MINNESOTA, | County oF Ivasca. — ¢ In District Court, th Judicial District. Official Report of the Grand Jury, Itasca County, Minnesota, General January Term, A. D. 1898. The Grand Jury begs leave to submit the fol- lowing report: . The Grand Jury in a Dade, has examined all the public buildings of the county as fol- lows: The Grand Rapids village jail, the or house, the court house and the count; hi We find the Grand Rapids village jail to be in good condition, sanitary and other- wise, and at the poor farm we found the buildings to be of spacious proportions. well ventilated, well heated and cleaned; all ap- purtenances thereto, such as furniture, fur- nishings. curtains. window screens, etc., are ample for the comforts of the “Home.” At present three county charges are in- mates of the poor farm; one female and two males. Diligent inquiry showed these to be receiving the best of care and treatment, ‘On the poor farm their are about 16 acres in condition for cultivation, and called “The ‘ieid.” “The Field” is good soil, nearly all stumped and has good drainage. It is well fenced, the fence being of cedar sts and two span of barbed wire. Upon this field was raised last season 280 bushels of potatoes, 10 tons of outs, 2 tons millet, 7 bushels carrots, 45 bushels beets, some hay and other small grain, The remaining two acres of cultivat- ed land are situated about five rods west of the house and are used asa garden. In the garden are raised all the finer vegetables for the poor house and some fruit. The garden is also entirely fenced with cedar posts and two spans of barbed wire. The live stock now on hand is two head of heavy work horses, in good condition, weight about 1600 pounds each, age abouteight years old; one milch cow, in good condition, and three pigs. also in good condition. Of supplies now on hand there are 200 bushels of potatoes; 100 heads of cabbage, 20 bushels of beets, 25 bushels of carrots, half-barrel of saurkraut, half-barrel salt pork, one barrel pickles, one barrel lard. one quarter beef, one ton catesl, one ton millett and enough other general supplies to lust until the first of April. u the house was also found 2v cords four foot wood and ten cords of stove woud. Whereas, [t appears to this grand jury that the house upon the r farm is in very poor protection against fire, we would recommend that at least six barrels be kept filled with water and placed inthe garret of the poor house as a protection against fire. », And it appearing to this grand jury that no fresh water is procurable for said poor house other than that carried from Hale luke at a distance of about 15 rods. we would recom- mae that a good well be dug near said jouse. ‘ We would recommend that an overseer of the poor be appointed by the board of count: commissionets, as provided in sections 1957, 1858 and 1959 of the Gen. Statutes of 1894. We would further recommend that said overseer be provided with suitable books and that he one eens [corse Dales all crops ands ral a the poor farm and of the disposal thereof, Y _ that un with W. 8.
