At the special meeting of the board of county commissioners held on Wed- nesday ot this week, all business pre- sented by Auditor Farrell was «is- posed of. Capt. James Murchie was appointed county assessor for the un- organized portion of the county, and Charles Millaney was appointed ap- praiser of state agricultural lands. Both of the gentlemen appomted are entirely competent and well equipped to perform the duties of their respect- ive offices. Two hundred. and_ fifty Sollars was appropriated on motion of | Commissineer Everton to impyove the Deer Lake road. Auditor Farrell presented his financial statement and it was approved. ‘The usual amount of bills were presented and allowed," after which the commissioners ac-| cepted their own resignations and ad- journed sine die. | Put Back the FApparatys. There is a little thing we.would hke| to speak about: When folks use the fire hall for supper-giving pnrposes or other sirnilar functions, they are in the habit of pulling the fire apparatus out into the street in orderthat they cmay have room. Now, nobody would object to this, providing they put the carts back—but they don’t, always do it. We have seen these costly machines standing in the street for days at a time, and this is not cal- culated to enhance either thejr work- ing efficiency nor their appearance. Besides, there are a lot of small boys who would like nothing better than to borrow a red bucket and a shed-water hat to pjay fireman with—and_ forget to bring them back. ‘The department has already Jost rubber coats and boots enough, and as these were all} too large to fita small boy it is sus- pected that the calves have eaten them, ‘his gentle admonishon is in tended for no particular society, clan, sect or denomination—it applies to all alike. If vou take the apparatus out, see that they are put back. Rt the Hospital. ‘There are at present 35 patients under treatment at St. Benedict’s hos- pital. these are woodsmen fering from } injuries. ‘She percentage of this kind of cases is ths year much greater than Jast, When the majority brought in| were down with various forms of sick- | ness—pneumonia principally. All the} patients are at present doing well, only one or two of them being considered as at all in a dangerous condition, By far the greater number of} The Rathione’s Masque. The sheet and pillow case masquer- ade given by Waubana ‘Temple, Rath- bone Sisters, at Village hall on Wed- nesday evening, must certainly be recorded asa success. Although the greater number of those who attended did not mask,a very good time was | had. ‘he Grand Rapids orchestra! furnished the music and was at its best. The supper was furnished by the ladies themselves and was excel-! lent. ‘laken all through, the ladies | should feel gratified at the success of | their venture. Should Be Fiushed. Every winter about this time the fire depertment has been in the habit of flushing the hydrants of the village. ‘This was done to prevent them from freezing and also for the purpose of Keeping the water clear. When water stands in the main pipes fora long tume it accumulates a lot of rust and | other matter, which gradually works | its way to the faucets and clogging) them, causes no end of trouble. ‘The! fire boys, however, do not seem to feel | {hat it 1s part of their business to flush hydrants, and as no one else seems to} gare whether it is done or not, they will probably remain in the condition they are. The Criterion Restaurant. ‘This is the name of Dave Cham- bers’ new place, and if the business he has already done is any criterion, it is certainly a winner. Of course, Daye’s | reputation is such that he would do well no matter where he was situated, | but the location ot his new place of usiness is an additional inducemept for hungry folks to come and. visit him. He always makes it a pomt to have the best the market affords on is tablegand his vjands are cooked in the most approved style known to culnary~artists. Go and see him when you want a lunch or a square. t Rnother Masque Ball. © Qu Washington’s birthday—Thurs- day, Feb. 22—-the Grand Rapids orchestra will give a grand masquerade ball at Village hail. Real good masquerades are few and tar between. jn this section, and our people will hail with delight the coming event. The members of the orchestra are cer- tainly entitled to a large measure of support from our citizens. The num- ber of dances here is not great cnough to create any cOnsiderable revenue, }and they must take time from their other duties to keepin practice, and from other sources to buy music and other necessities. ‘Tbe boys have never refused to lend their services to any worthy cause, and have asked nothing in return. ‘This isan excellent opportunity for our people to display their appreciation of the orchestra by attending its ball. As there is no costymer in Grand Rapids, all kinds of masks will be al- lowed. ‘Tickets, 59 cents each Ought to Have a Pension. Frank Caldwell, the well known former resident and claim locater at this place, now. hving on the. Bow String, went down to Deer River the other day, so a report comes to the Herald-Review. ‘The fact that Mr. Caldwell went to Deer River is not particularly iteresung, but his guns were good, He had a 48-long and a 32-short, Mr. Caldwell claimed that a prominent citizen of Deer River had detrauded him out of nine thous- and dollars on a land deal. If the re- port is true te aforesaid prominent citizen should receive a pension for the balance of his days upon earth. Lincoln Day in Grand Rapids. The public schools of tne village were closed on Monday last and most of the business houses discontinued operations in honor of the memory of Abraham Lincoln. No pubhe cele- bration was undeitaken and the day passed off quietly, with the exception of afew who indulged in a sleighing party in the evenins Riddell’s Vacation Day. George Riddell took advantage of Lincoln day for the first lay-off he has had for many months. — Riddell’s blacksmith shop has been running with a full force almost night and day during the whole winter and he isn’t! through yet. He does good work and therefore has all he can do. Pay Your Taxes. Treasurer C. C. Miller will make bis official report of receipts to the public examiner on February: 28. Vhereafter all personal property taxes will become delinquent and a penalty of ro per cent be attached. By act- ing on this bit of information a great many citizens can save a great many doliars. Rebekah Card Party. Arbutus Rebekah lodge will give another of those delightful card parties Feb. 26. Besides cards there will | also be a fish. pound, with all the j amusement that kind of an entertain- ment usually affords. An excellent lunch will also be served. We are asked to state emphatically that no noisy or unrullyychildren will be allow ed in the hall. All are invited. R Fine Eating House. Although it is not much over week since “Ihe Northern,’ Rody Hawiey’s new restaurant, was opened under his management, it has uready achieved a great repu- tation. It is undoubtedlv one of the |finest furnished places of its kind in this section, and everythiny is entirely new. Mr. Hawley is an hotel chef of many years experience, as anyone who has sampled his products would know without being told, Ile serves regular meals at 25 cents, and makes a specialty of short orders. ‘The Sun- day dinners at “The Northern” are marvels» On this day particularly | will you find a visit to the place most enjoyable. All the high-priced deh- cacies of the season are included in the bill of fare, and if you ordered such repast at a hotel it would cost at least 50 cents. At “The Northern,’, however, the price remains the same. ‘Try it tomorrow. From Buluth to Paris: T. H. Larke, assistant passenger agent of the Duluth, South Shore & Auanuc railway, is one of the most} enterprising young railroad men in the west. He thcroughly understands | all the important advantages of the line he represents and knows how to present these advantages to the pub- he ina way that secures the travel, His road has made big preparations to carry the people of this section of the northwest to the Paris exposition. Mr. Larke has just issued a bright, attract- live and instructive circular setting forth the claims of his road and some of the reasons why it is so desirable to go direct from Duluth to the metrop- olis of France over the South Shore road. ‘This circular has a map of the route clear from Duiuth to “gay Paree,” an elegant cut of the elegant train “South Shore No. 8,” together with time card, rates and other infor- mation briefly told for the benefit pf tourists. If any of our readers contemplate making the trip they should write to Mr. Larke for valua- ble information. AR Very Quiet Week. The past week has been a very quiet one in police circles, but one arrest being made. This was a man who gave his nameas Dan McKinnon, whom Marshal McCormick gathered in on Wednesday evening for being drunk and disorderly. He came up before Justice Barnard on ‘Thursday ; and lacking the funds with which to pay bis fine was placed in the lock- for 20 days. E 5 rie oo we Pe NEWS NOTES AND PERSONAL | 8. T.
