School Election Next Saturday, July 1g, the annual school meeting will be held for the transaction of such business as may be called up for considération by the electors. The most important matter will be the election of a treasurer, as the term of E. A. Kremer will expire with the current year. Up to the present time there appears to have been little interest evinced in the matter, but it is safe to predict that on Saturday evening next the citizens will turn out in goodly numbers be- tween the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock. Grand Rapids is justly proud of her school building and the good results therein that are being attained by the several able educators. ‘The mothers especially, and in fact all ladies should turn out to vote. It 1s not only their right to do so, but their solemn duty. Mr. Kremer has been a most efficient school officer during the past four years, and while he does not solicit a re-election, yet he may ‘be urged to accept the thankless task for another term if the people desire him to con- tinue jn his present position. Hear- tofore all transrents have voted at our school elections. At the last term of the legislarure a rigid law was passed for’ the purpose of correcting this vicious abuse. Any person who votes illegally at a school election willbe subject to a fine of not less than $100 or imprisonment for a term of ninety days. ‘This law will be entorced here- after in Grand Rapids. ~ Subscrite for the Herald- Review. $200 ayear tn ad- vance. | | | ‘T° GHE FIREMEN’S FOURTH.’ SUantabonn en Tap The People of Grand Rapids Never Wit- nessed a More Enjoyable Day. ' It 1s to be regretted that the enter- pnsing Grand Rapids fire department did not net a neat sum irom the pro- ceeds of their Fourth of July enter- tainment. They.gave a magnificent program most admirably carried ‘out in-every detail. From the hour of 10 a.m. until late into’ the morning of the sththere was a continuous series of interesting events that appeared to be fully enjoyed by all the people of the village. The formal opening—the reading of that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, by Prof. Carroll, was followed with: a stirring, patriotic address by Hon, C. C. McCarthy. His remarks were en- tirely non-partisan, lofty in sentiment, liberal in spirit. He was hstened to with marked atiention and frequently interrupted by applause. At 1:10 began the sports of the af- ternoon, and it was well migh 5 0’- clock when the last event was ended. The several features of interest took place as advertised, and’ Treasurer Fred Stevens of the fire department issued checks on the ground ‘to every winner as the result was announced. No records were broken in speed either by horse, man or bicycle, but the interest evinced was nonetheless eminently satisfactory. ‘The Busby fake which produced an_ alleged “Uncle ‘lom’s Cabin” on the grounds no doubt kept many a dollar of the firemen’s exchequer. _-——~de-Swyell Opening ae / On Monday evening of this week’ John Hepfel formally opened his new sample rooms on‘ hird street to the public. A’ general invitation had been extended to the public and a great spread had been prepared un- der the supervision of that pri j Dave Chambers. i fare contained several Courses, at the head of which was barbecued pig. No delicacies were omitted from the menu. The genialSalderman expect- ed to entertain’ a goodly number of guests that evening, but he did not anticipate the presence of such a com- pany as appeared at an early hour and remained until the night was near- passed. No jollier party ever gather- ed in this village, and Mr. Hepfel nas just cause to feel well repaid for the splendid banquet. with which he pro- vided his friends Appreciate Pokegama Lake _ rama VILLAGE COUNCIL Wily a Gra pi A regular meeting of the Village Council'was held at the Village hall, in Grand Rapids, ° Minnesota, on the 6th day of July, A.

The following resolution was pre !Dr. Allen of Cloquet was a Grand, anise visitor this week. ‘I'he doctor | game up to take a look *at his Pokeg- ama lake summer resort and to com- /plete arrangements for its occupancy during the present season, ' While here the doctor sold a tract of his lake frontage at Allen’s landing to Judge Stilson and also a lot to ‘Thomas ‘Trainor, Judge —Stiison hag nor onty! at the value of village property in this municipality, but he also ap- preciates the worth and desirability of lake Pokegama’s great possibilities as a summer resort. His Birch Island is one of the most picturesque spots that is to be found in all this tamous region of the north. Bicyclists Beware! Read village ordinance No. 28, published in another column hereof and be governed ‘accordingly, if you ride a bike. Impertinent and reckless persons have persistently insisted that pedestrians had no nghts in’ Grand Rapids that the boy or girl with a bike was bound to respect. ‘The council modestly suggested that greater care should be exercised and published a brief notice to thateeffect.’ No heed was paid to the warning, and by some the authorities were virtually defied. The publication of ordinance 28 will make it incumbent upon the proper authorities to arrest all offenders of its provisions. Look out for’ Marshal McCormick. He’s not a bad sort of marshal, and not a hard hearted ‘man, but if he undertakes to capture an offender of the village laws he’ll suc- ceed beyond any doubt whatever, SECRETARY IS FIBM, Indications That Cass Lakers Will be Com- pelled to Obey Removal Order. A Washington special to the Duluth Herald under date of July 6th says: “ Representative Morris will “leave Washington tonight for his home in Duluth, ‘he Duluth congressman has not been as_ successful as he an- ticipated in securing the suspensivn of the order removing’ the settlers from Cass Lake. Yesterday Judge Morris seemed to be positive that Sécretary Hitchcock would suspend this order and leave the whole question to con- gress. for settlement. ‘Today he 1s anything but sanguine. - He does not know what action will be taken by the, interior department officials. The. indications, however, are that the order for the removal of the set- tlers will be allowed to stand. Indian Commissioner Jones received a tele- gtam yesterday trom County Attorney W. F.

Rn a ee ee When Company Comes in the Country “ Beign to enjoy yourself when your guests arrive, in fact, before they arrive,” 1s Mrs. John B, Sims’ advice to the hostess in an article on “Enter- taining in the Country,” in the July Ladies’ Home Journal. Do not ftry to serve such an elaborate dinner that the work of getting it ready will draw so muchupon your physical power that they will be strained to their up- most endurance. When your visitors arrive greet them with a hearty hand- shake; ‘make them feel that you are ready for their coming; speak of plea- sure that you hope the day will bring complement them on their neckware; the dainty handkeichif; be thoroughly interested in each and ' every one. When the time comes for you to pre- pare your dinner and placeit upon the table, leave your guests as gracetul as possible, Ifthe dinuer be “not too elaborate your guests will come again. “Eat to live,” and not “Live to eat” should be the motto of every house- hold, To Bond Village Indebtedness. As will be seen by the official pro- ceedings of the village council, pub- lished elsewhere in this issue, bonds of the village are offered for sale in the sum of $18,000. This is a wise and economical move on Dehalf of the council and there is no doubt but that the electors will endorse © the proposition unanimously at an elec- tion to be held on July 20th.
