But remember the Ce free. All are invited. “A Model Grocery. Sam Cable began to do business in his _ new stores today. Speaking about meat markets, there are none better equipped in the State of Min- nesota, and be it remembercd that Mannesota is one of the largest states in the union, Cables’ grocery is not yet fully arranged, but 1t will certainly be. a surprise to this community when the stock 1s placed upon the shelves—new, fresh and most inviting. Of course, everybody knows that Cable has opened his stores in the building just east of Marr’s on Third street. This is. the location that everybody wanted and nobody got but Cable, How Others See Us. Continued from First'Page. awaited them. Cheery *Dan Gunn, the smiling boniface of the Pokega- ma hotel, made everybody feel at home, comfortable and happy,though h's fine hotel was crowded with guests on account of an important session of the district court at’ which .a murder case was on trial. How he ever suc- ceeded in doing it, is a conundrum which Dan and his estimable lady alone can answer, but they did it, and everybody was: well taken care off The Pokegama is a splendid hotel, with electric lights, hot and cold water service, electric bells, and in fact pretty much everything found in an up-to-date hotel, while Dan Gunn is a peerless landlord. This hotel has a reputation far and wide for the excellence of its cuisine. The ban- quet given the excursionists at the Pokegama was by far the best of the three partaken of in as many succes- sive evenings by the excursionists, tho: gh both Landlord and Mrs. Gunn apologized for being disappointed in some of their orders for the feast, as if there was anything to apologize for! Immediately following the ban- quet there was a ball at the town hall, in honor of the visitors. The next morning was given over toadrive to the State Experimental farm, and to Pokegama talls, and Visits to the handsome new school house, aud the fine court Louse and jail. Grand Rapids is a thriving town, beautifully situated on.the Mississippi, and has water works, electric iights, two first-class hotels, and the finest schovlhouse in the state outside the principal cities. It isalive and progressive place, and the numerous fine stores are all.evi- dently duing a flourishing trade. Wadena Pionee Jat The country traversed was in the main covered with huge pine for Bs and while much of the soil may be suitable for agricultural purposes, ; the most of it, with ils innumerable lakes and streams, lovks as though it would be a spurtsiman’s paradise. Grand Rapids is the headquarters for all lumbering operations on the up- per Mi Sippi river, aud is a sub- stantial and prosperous town. Like the naajority uf western towns its residents are hospitable, enterprising and genial. The Hotel Pokegama, where the party were quartered, is a large three-story structure, and. fur- jHishes accommodations that catinot be excelled in the largest cities, The house is supplied with every modern convenience, and Hon. Dan Gunn, for whom Wadena county use to roll up a big majority wheu he Ffn for the legislature, is tue proprietor. The banquet served av the Pokegama in the eveniug was the finest entertain ment of the kiud served on the trip. ‘The tables were handsomely decorat- ed, apn orchestra furnished sweet music and the menu consisted of all of the delicacies of the seasun, served in-elegant style. Priday morning the guests were driven to the experimental farm, and spentan hour very profitable looking over the work of this institution. A ride to the fails and dam was also en- joyed. Grand Rapids boasts of the tinest court house and jail and school house in the state outside cf the three large cities. The party was filled with wonderment and admira- tion as they were piloted through these institutions. he Itasca Mer- cantile company’s mammoth plant was also a source of muc! interest to the guests. Thisis the institution of which W. 8. Baumbach, of this city was trustee for three years, dur- ing which time he yaid off $113,000 in- debtedness and turned oyer $20,000 in cash besides and a complete stock, all paid fur, to the ‘owners. He is now the traveling uuditur of the cown- pany, and oversees the stores of the concern at Mountain Iron, Hibbing anudat Grand Rapids. Mr. Baumbach bappened to be in Grand Rapids that jday, and he showed the party over the establishment. ‘The company’s store, ware houses, etc., cover over two solid blocks. Mr. O. E. Skalmau, formerly of this. city, is uow one of the head clerks in the establishment. THE SIMS ROAD. Sims Logging Road Will Be Extended to the Big Fork, The Itasca Lumber company today announced its intention of going ahead with the extensions of the Sims logging road. ~Early in the spring the company had about twenty miles ot right-of.way surve,ed from the end of the present road, eighteen miles north of Deer. river, to. the Big Fork river. It is probable that not more than twelve miles of track will be built this year, however, as ail work so far has been retarded by wet weather and the inability to get men to work on the new roadbed.

It is clain.sed that while the road is be- ing exteuded apparently to get at the pine lands around Turtle lake, 1t will eventually reach Canada, and that it will become pazt of the Great North- erd system. In this connection it is said that James J. Hill has furnished heavy standard rails for that extension ata very low cost, and that he was enabled to do this by means of an op- tion he got on steel rails before the re- cent nse in prices. It isalso said Mr. Hill has offered the company the use of his steam shovels in building the extension., In case the road is built to Little Falls on the Big Fork, to which point it has been surveyed, it~ will only re- quire a strctch of track eighteen miles long. to put it through to’ Koochi- ching, opposite Fort Francis.—BDe Iuth_ Herald.
