The Herald Review has been pett- tioned by several ladies and many children to administer a red-hot roast to Jim Hill’s railroad men who block the village crossings with their trains. It is a fact that the village granted ample privileges to the Iway com- pany in this matter and it is unneces- sary to inconvenience pedestrians to the extent that has lately prevailed. We have frequently noticed school child- ren trying in vain to find an avenue of escape as the last bell was ringing calling them to their studies. Ven- turesome boys will sometimes craw under or climb over the cars, greatly endangering their lives. It is alto- gether probable that if the facts were presented to the proper railway au- thorities that orders would issue at once to remedy the trouble. Leland and Kindred avenues should not be blockaded by trains as they now are. Bon’t Blame the Postmaster It sometimes happens that in writ- ing offa list of several thousand sub- scribers in a hurry to catch the New York muted express, the mailing clerk may overlook a name or two. ‘This has been known to occur in the Herald-Review office on more t one occasion, So if the post- master is unable to. hand out a copy ot this paper when you are entitied to it, don’t swear at him and.imagine that be has eaten it as a brain diet or sent it to his relatives in China Just step into the printery next door— where the mstake originally occurred and you will be cheerfully supphed with all theold papers you can carry away. Please remember this, and also remember that the postmaster isa’t ne rily the worst fellow that ever happened. A Feed and Sew Mill. I. L. Anderson was in from his Praurie river farm this week. He re- ports that his sons:-have purcbased the necessary machinery and engine with which to put in a first-class teed mill on the farm, and aiso a small outfit for sawing logs. One of the boys interest- ed is D. C. Anderson, editor ot the Carlton Vidette. There is no doubt that such an enterprise can be run with profit here, and the projectors should do well from the © start. If Editor Anderson continues to branch out he will soon instigate a movement to form a trust between newspapers and feed mills. And, by the way, we see no reason why the two should, not work well together. All the Heraid- Review lacks is « good feed mill, Predicts a Great Future. The experimental station was visited this w by Prof. Hays, chief of the agricultural department of the state university at St. Anthony Park. ‘The professor has just returned from an extensive trip through European couatnes where he studied the meth- ods of experiment employed by for- eign nations. He says the. United States is in advance of any of the countries visited by him in_ scientific farming. He spoke enthusiastically of the future of Northern Minnesota from an agricultural standpoint. Du- luth, says Prof. Hays, in a very few years will be. the. greatest port city on this continent and every foot of available agricultural land tnbutary to the Zemith city will become a veritable garden, Caught the Wrong Man. : Sheriff Tyndall returned — from Crookston Saturday where he had been called by telegram announcing that the shenff of Polk county had in custody the man Charles Larry charged with breaking into Conductor Wood’s caboose at Swan River and therefrom confiscating sundry articles of wearing apparel. The descnption of the suspected individual tallied very correctly with the man in custody, but it proved to be a case of mistaken identity. Sheriff Tyndall brought the prisoner to Bemidji for identification, where it was learned that his name was Fred Maxwell, and at the time of the robbery he was working in a Bemidji-gambling house. Remarkable Potato Yield. Jake Kurtzman is proud of his potato crop this fall, and he has plenty reason for his pride. Others may equal his exhibit but none can surpass it. H. S. Huson sent for a new variety of Ohio tubers. last spring. and he recommended them very highly. Mr. Kurtzman secured and planted 20 pounds of the seed and _ therefrom he has just harvested 25 bushels. From one hill he took out ten potatoes that weighed 1534 pounds, and they were most inviting beauties to look at, Jake says he will keep the 25 bushels to distribute among his neighbors for seed use. Looking for Licenses. County Auditor Farrell has issued fifty-five licenses up to date permitting sportsmen to kill game according to law. All applicants thus far have been residents of Minnesota, who are required to pay only 25 cents each for |the privilege “From November 1 to 20 18 the time fixed by law when deer, moose and caribo may be killed. The penalty fixed by law for kilhng the big game without first having procured a license 1s a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $100, or imprisonment in the county jail for not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days. To Keop Out Cattle. A crew of men in charge of John Fulton have just completed putting a fence along both sides of the railroad track from the Prairie river bridge to a point about opposite St. Benedict’s hospital, a distance of about five miles. This was done to keep cattle off the track. The railroad men have been bothered considerably by having to slow up or stop in order to give cows time to get out of the way. One or two animals have been killed in this way, and as this invariably results in the railroads having to pay damag?s, the management probably thought it cheaper to adopt means of prevent- ing it. The 1899 Laws Issued. County Auditor Farrell has received 100 copies of the 1899 laws for free distribution to any persuns who may call at his office for the same. ‘These compilations in book form are the same as were issued in April and dis- tributed through the newspapers of the state. There remains but little excuse for ignorance of the laws since the enactment causing free distribu- tion of all session acts. The people are given every opportunity to become acquainted with the statutes of the state and itis the duty of all citizens to avail themselves of this free, though necessary, knowledge. Work at the Diamond. Capt. Griffin of the Diamond mine, says he 1s making very satisfactory progress with the work of pumping out the water. This week he got within reach of the mine pumps and started them to work. He expects to have the water out in about ten days. A party of Chicago and Buffalo capitalists who are interested in the property will arrive here on Monday. Jesepn Hyman of the Block & Pal- lock Steel company of Chicago, and Gus. Benjamin of the Iron & Steel company, buffalo, are among the visitors. donnsteon & Toole, Merchants. Through the Cass Lake Times we are told that a new hardware firm soon to begin business in that town will be styled Johnston & ‘Toole. This means that our popular ex-sheriff and his chief deputy are to continue in part- nership. ‘Che Herald-Review wishes them unbounded success m their new venture, and there is reason to believe they will meet with it as Mr. J. E. Johnston is a hardware merchant of many years experience, and both | gentlemen are energetic, reliable, worthy citizens in any community, Believe in Advertising. It is evident that the officers of Itasca County Agricultural association appreciate newspaper advertising. Heretolore it has been the custom to use posters and hand-bills, but they realized that conspicuous space in the local press will bring far better results. As Secretary Buell says, the news- paper 1s supposed to go into every intelligent home in the county and is read by every member of the family. Newspapers are not glanced at and passed by casually, as street advertis- Ing is. Started at Blackberry. ‘The farming settlement surrounding Blackberry was sufficient justification for the establishment at that point of a general mercantile store. Orra Harry saw the opportunity and took advantage of it. He_ has his store in running order with a full line of goods and reports that he 1s already enjoy- ing a good trade. Application for the establishment of a postoftice there has been made to the department, and the petitioners ask for the ap- pointment of Mr. Harry as postmaster. Investigating Seaffolds. Sherift Tyndall will visit Minne- apolis, Brainerd, Fergus Falls and Duluth to learn what he may from officials who have performed the dis- agreeable task that is fixed for hin to ;do on October 27th, The death trap to be used in the execution of Fer- ;}gusson on that date will be one that has been used for the same purpose on. several occasions.
