Aitkin, Minn., July 14, 1898. A Pie Picnic. One of those misfortunes that are jiable to happen in the best regu- lated print-shops took place in the Herald-Review office this afternoon when two columns of solid local mat- ter accidently dropped upon the floor. In the vernacular of the craft, it pied” beyond recognition and wasir- yedeemable. If.this issue of the Her- ald-Review 1s below its usual poor standard you will know the whys and wherefors. ALLOWS IT NO MORE. “Information and Belief” No Longer Goes in Timber and Stone Application. A ruling of great importance has just Leen received from Commissioner Linger Herman of the general,_land offiice of the United States. It is that hereafter applicants to purchas lands under the timber and stone act must have made a personal inspection of the land, ‘This rulmg was made in a case which was of no particular importance he- ¢ause of the parties in interest. The applicant had caused an inspection of the land to be made and made affiavit to that effect. The commissioner allows it to pass because it has been the custom of the department, but warns the local officers to recive no apphica- tions in future which are not sworn to “on the personal knowledge” of the applicant. ‘The ruling is in accordance with the strict letter of the law. Until a few years ago the law was strictly en- forced according to the letter. One day a pectuliar case came before the ‘Duluth land office. A blind man applied for a piece of land under the timber and stone act, Being without sight, he could not swear that the land was more valuable fortimber than for agricultural purposes, and the local officer held that under the strict law his applicantion could not be accepted. The queston was taken to the general land office and the local officer was reversed. From that time grater lati- tude has been allowed under the law. Women were allowed to make affiavit that they caused the land for which they applied to be examined and the affidavit of the explorer was accepted. ‘Then it was gradually extended until anyone could do this. Naturally this led to an abuse of the privilege. The order issued now makes it nec- essary for the applicant to personally go over the land. ‘This will make it more difficult to take up lands under the timber and stone act. A Complete Vindication. The following letter trom B. F. Norris, Alister & Co., Chicago, will be read with interest and satistaction by the many friends of Will Nisbett: To whom it may concern: This is to certify that the indictment pro- ‘cured in April, 1897 by W. M. Alister of the firm of B. F, Norris, Alister.& Co., whol.sale jewelers ot Chicago, Ill, against Will Nisbett, jeweler of Grand Rapids, Minn, charging said Will Nisbett with obtaining credit by false representations was based on in- formation that was misleading and false, that we were illy advised, and made the charge with a wrong under- standing of the situation, that we have nothing but good feeling toward him, have caused the case to be nolle prossed, and desire to completely ex- onorate him from any and all wrong doing, and cheerfully and unsolicited give him for publication, or any other use he may choose to put it to, this statement showing that we were in error, and that we deeply regret the annoyance and expense we caused him. » B. F. Norris, Atisrer & Co. | THE REASON OF ITS WRATH, The Matter of Village Printing is What Tortures Our Esteemed. The Magnet has had a particular aversion to the present village council ever sincc that body saw fit to designate the Herald-Review as the of- ficial paper of Grand Rapids for the year 1898. That action stamped the village legiislators as a crowd of crazy cranks—in the Magnet’s meager mind—and according to the standard of that paper there is no good in any member thereof either personally or officially. But it is some satisfaction to know that the voters of this village does not agree with the Magnet—not by at least three to one. An editor who so far forgets his manhood as to malign his neighbors because he did not receive a paltry one hundred dol- lars or so from the public teat 1s hard- ly deserving of any consideration from a paper like the Herald-Review. In its last issue the Magnet says the council pays “exorbitant prices for stolen wood.” The price paid so far has in no instance exceeded $1.50 per cord. We have been buying wood in Grand Rapids -during the past six years and with one single exception have never bought it for less than that figure. Since taking office the coun- cii has bought wood only of the following persons, whom the Magnet stigmatizes as thieves: Matt Lalla, Isaah Strause, A. Racine, Alex Rob- erts. Frank Surprise, L. A. Swanson, John Gendron, Edward Cloutier, John Anderson, and A. Montcalm. ‘The Magnet says the wood bought by the village from these gentlemen was stolen. We will submit that question to them for reply. If they are not thieves they will resent the insult in a fitting manner. We expect to hear from them. The Condition of Mississippi Reservoirs It will be remembered that a great deal of feeling against the continu- ance of the reservoir system on the upper Mississippi was created last year among the settlers, because of the damage done their crops by the overflow. ' Recently the mayor of Aitdin, Minn., wrote Senator Nelson at Washington in regard to the dan- gers from overflow to ,farmers along the river this spring, and the si called the attention of Captain F erick V. Abbott of the corps of eng eer to the matter, says the Mississippt Vally Lumberman, Captain Abbott | replied to Senator Nelson, explaining the condition upper Mississippi. ‘This letter, which appeared recently im the Aitkin Re- publican, throws considerable light on the up river situation. Captain Ab- bott states that he found the Winne- bigoshish dam, on inspection last fall, to be very weak, and he acco ordered the stored water to be re! ed as rapidly as s with keeping the Mississippi river be- low the dam within its banks. He did this with the idea of being able to store some - water in Winnebigoshish this spring so as to relieve the farmers as far as possible.. An inspection of the Leech lake dam led him to a sin- ilar conclusion, and both of these re- servoits were kept discharging as much water as was consistent with the safety of the lands below. At the time the spring rains began, the at- tempt was made to hold Leech take with the result that a serious leakage threatened the strength of the dam necessitating the putting of the dis- charge where it was before. ‘The dis- charge at Winnebigoshish was de- creased, and the water allowed to slowly rise. Pokegama reservoir was practically empty atthe beginning of the season, but it is now fiiled to with- in half afoot of the flowagesline. Sandy lake was also filled. Pine river reservoir has remained closed except for a tew days; in fact. all five reser- voirs have been so operated according to Captain Abbott as to diminish the effects of the flood of Aitsin as far as possible. Captain Abbott points out the necessity of repairs to Winnebi- goshish and Leech lake dams. If they had been in condition to hold the heads for which they were designed every drop of water which was dis- charged this spring could have been retained in them safely. The water so retained would have benefitted the steamboat navigation this summer by giving an increased depth in the river at St. Paul. As the matter now stands, Captain Abbott saysthat he will be compelled: to empty entirely both W: innebigoshish and Leech lake re- servoirs during the coming low water season, and when they are empty he their gates to their full capacity, and the water will flow in the river as though the dams did not exist, This will result in more overflowing for Aitkin county next spring if the sea- son is rainy, for even if congress should make an appropriation at the present time it would be impossible to get the work done in time to hold next spring’s floods. The repairs at Winnebigoshish will cost $100,000, and at Leech lake fully as_ much. In the interests of the farmers on the river and of navigation below St. Paul, the government engineers ad- vise the appropriation of the funds for the prompt and safe repair of these two important dams, ‘This matter is also of strain importance to the ; lumbermen i Mimnenvol: and below. ccammerawamnrsg of the reservoirs of the | PROCEEDINGS Continued from page 1. printing...
