In some cases the mineral was found at a depth of nine feet. Leoking for Location. The Herald-Keview is in receipt of a letter trom C. H. Porter of Miles City, Montana, in which he says: “There are several families here, in- cluding my own who intead to move to that part of the state.” He wants asample copy of the Herald-Review and the names of our real estate men. Clay & Dempsey, Loggers. Clark Clay and J. M.. Dempsey were westbound passengers for Sol- way on Thursday. They have taken a contract to put in twenty-five mil- lion feet of pine ths winter near that place. Their contract 1s said'to be a good one, and under anything like favorable conditions they will come out in the spring as fat as seals with plenty of mcaey. Cyster Supper Wednesday Itasca Hive L.O. T. M. will serve an oyster supper in the old school building on Wednesday afternoon be- tween the hours of 5 to 7 o’clock. The ladies will make a special effort to surpass the former excellent lun- cheons on this occasion. Oysters will be served stewed, escalloped or Only 25 cents will be charged. raw. Didn’t Like the Fence. ‘fhe Great Northern railroad peo- ple are looking for information that will lead to the detection of *the. per- son or persons who took it upon themselves to tear down the fence recently constructed below La Prarie to keep stock off the track. It is evident that the fence was deliber- ately torn down and if the guilty ones dan be discovered there is likely to be trouble. Browned in White Oak. Dan Dick, a Chippewa Indian about forty-five years old, was drown- ed on White Oak Jake near the Point on ‘Thursday afternoon. He had been over to Deer River and somehow secured. a quantity of firewater. He had with him two quarts of whisky when the accident occured. His canoe became unmanageable and turned bottom side up. ‘The body of Dick has not been recovered, Taxes Fbout Bue. ‘The last half of this year’s real estate taxes will become due on November ist. Thereafter the usual penalty will be added if not paid. Treasurer Milier says that so far there have been ewer delinquencies than in former years. In some instances the new law allowing payment in two install- ments was not taken advantage of, but in most cases the property holders found it convenient to pay one-half the amount at a time. Tailors Branching Out. Frank A. Poepke, who was the pioneer tailor. of Grand Rapids, in- tends to wear the same title at Cass Lake. His firm, Poepké & Franz, 1s now negotiating for a building, and if this cannot be secured, they will put one up. ‘This does not mean that there’ will be one tailonng establishment less in this town, but that’ either. Mr. Poepke or Mr Franz will go to Cass Lake to take charge of the branch thére, while the other partner remains Rapids. If the same success attends in Grand ! Wm. Blomdberg who met with the same accident in the same manner on September 24th, are both recover- ing rapidly. .Rrrested For Robbing. Paddy Donovan, better known as “Paddy the Pig,” was arrested Thurs- day afternoon on the train between Cass Lake and Deer River by Conductor Campbell for robbing a fellow passenger of five dollars in coin of the realm. ‘The prisoner was'turned over to the Deer River anthorities, from whom he escaped. ‘The’ sher- |1ff’s office here was notified yesterday and steps are being taken to recapture the fugitive. The “Pig” pears a bad reputation as an all-’round petty lar- ceny thief and tin-horn gambler. His carreer in this neighborhood should be terminated. KB Narrow Escape. A night or two ago Thomas Cor- rens met with an accident that might have resulted very disastrously for the well-known Pokegama jake farmer. He was engaged in the very season- able occupation of splitting wood, and about to strike a wicked blow at a tough stick of maple when his axe caught in a wire clothes line above his head. The axe came down as far as the line would allow it to ahd then bounded back with force enough .to cleave a man’s skull did it strike him square. This, fortunately for Mr, Correns, it did not do, but just touched him enough to render him uncon- scious for a short time. When he came to he found that he had quite a scalp wound and was covered with blood. Tom says that he will look overhead after this when cutting wood in the gloaming, Social Club Dance. We neglected last week to say any- thing concerning the dance given by Grand Rapids Social club at Village hall on Thursday of that week. Of course everybody heard of its being a great success, but they would like to see it in the Herald-Review so that there would be no doubt on the mat- er. The music was furnished by Di Marco brothers of Duluth and was ex- cellent. The supper by St. Joseph’s society was ona par with the music, and the club members did everything to see that the large crowd present had a good time. ‘The club has not as yet been formally organized but itis the intention to hold a meet- ing and elect officers in the near future The purpose of the organization will not ve profit, but the hatching up of schemes whereby its members and their friends can get together and en- joy the.selves. ‘The amusement pro- gram will not be confined to dances but will include card parties and everything else that’s sociable. , Fi Business Proposition. As will be seen on this page ina business announcement Emil Litchke, the harnessmaker, 1s once more pre- pared for the fall and winter trade in his line. In fact, if one may judge from his stock now on hand, he is better prepared than in former years. He anticipated the large amount of; business that will be done in Grand Rapids during \he coming winter and he is ready for it. In the fine of heavy harness and general equipment tor horses he has a large stock espec- ially selected for the requirements of this section, Mr. Litchke recently employed another first-class workman and he is prepared to turn out ali or- ders on short notice and at very reas- onable prices. ~He will guarantee as complete satisfaction as can be given in any town or city in Minnesota. It Is unnecessary to send away for sup- plies in the harness line. RA Tough Experience F. L. Vance of White Moose lodge knows that it rained last Sunday night —and he knows that it rained hard. Late Sunday afternoon, accompanied by another man, he started to cross Winnibigohish lake. It soon grew dark and with the darkness came a terrific’ rain storm accompanied with a strong wind. After an unsuccess- ful effort to reach their objective point the two men .concluded that they were lost on the water and allowed the boat to drift as it would. About 12 o’clock their-canoe drifted ashore where Mr. Vance and his companion remained until dayhght, when they discovered that they were only about three miles: from Bena. The mght was cold and the rain fell in torfents for several hours. That was one night not to be forgotten. A tenderfoot would have perished under such cireumstances. their efforts in the junction town as| A Delicious Product. ° that which has marked their business career here, the move will prove a good one. We can recommend them tg our neighbors as thoroughly reliable and as artists in their profession. Not Many Patients ‘There are now only ten patients at St. Benedict’s, and none of them are seriously ill, with the possible excep- tion of one typhoid fever case. Jacob Ostland, who was brought down from Winnebigoshish dam on September 19 suffering from typhoid, is now con- valescent. Charley Lobdell of Cass lake, was taken to the hospital on Octoher 16. He is still quite sick with typhoid, but there is no fear as to his ultimate recovery. Anthony Sims,who broke his leg by falling from J. ¥. Metzger, the market man, has reason to believe that he has secured one of the best sausage makers in the state, and he does not hesitate to say so to his customers.. In return his customers agree with him when once they have tned the dehcious product that George ifuber turns out. Not long ago Mr. Metzger added a new machine for sausage making’ to his shop facilities and sécured the services ot Mr. Huber of Melrose, Minn. ‘This gentleman came highly recommended and his work soon demonstrated that he thoroughly understands the busi- ness, He has been here only a few days, but already the demand for Metzger’s sausage has greatly increas- ed. Itis pronounced the best that lias ever been offered for sale in Grand ahand car on September 2xst, and Rapids. NEWS NOTES AND PERSONAL: Angns McDonald returned Tuesday from a trip to Cass Lake.

One oi the local concerns of Grand Rapids that has grown in importance and still continues to enjoy a constant- ly increasing patronage Is the cigar fac- tory of George Booth. Among smok- | ers one frequently hears the remark that when’ once a cigar has a well establised reputation for its excellence and fragrance, the maker at once, seeks larger profit by reducing the quality of stock used. This cannot be said of Booth’s brands, His **Pokegama Boquet” has been on the market for a number of years and is as popular today as when first sold. Other leading brands manulactured by him are also favorites with the smoking. public. Mr. Booth’s trade is not confined alone to Grand Rap- ids. He makes daily shipments to other towns and the reputation of his cigars are constantly increasing and- each year the demand is greater.

The side-show of last week’s fire.at | Deer River is thus told by the News: | “A comical side incident to the hotel fire Wednesday morning was the saloon end of the business which never stopped but rather did a rushing trade for the following eight hours after the entire building lay in a heap of ashes. The bar and fixtures and all the liquor was hauled out into the street and after the excitement was over Charley Grant, apparently from force ot habit, assumed his place be- hind the bar in the sleeting rain, with an ulster and Sou’wester hat on, with the sky for a roof and the railroad track for back ground; wading in the mud he pumped up the beer and con- tinued his ‘shift? out as though he were at the old stand. He announced a reductian of everything to half price | and the bar was lined all afternoon.” One Red Calf Lost. j A threé-months oid calf, ‘belouging | to Emil Litechke, has been lost about two weeks.
