Would Like te Seli Chemical. i Chief DeShaw of the fire depart- ment is in receipt of a communication trom a Minneapolis concern inquiring | if this department has anything in the} line of fire apparatus thatit would hke to trade or sell. ‘The chiet thinks that this may prove an opporinnity to get rid of the chemical engine for which, since the advent of water works, there has been absolutely no use. The purchase price of this machine was} $1,500, and while no such cash price could probably be obtained for it, there ar: things that the department needs, such as hose, nozzles, etc., for which an exchange might be affected. The matter will come up before a meeting of the department to be held on Monday evening. All members are requested to be present at this meeting. Seandinavian Chureh Services. Rey, A. Salverson of Duluth, has for some time been making regula: monthly visits to Grand Rapids for the purpose of holding Scandinavian services. He is a member of the Norwegian Lutheran Synod, and is at present assigned to the missionary field in the outlying districts of Itasca and St. Louts counties. Very few of the places he visits have church build- ings available, and services are held at} the homes of Ins countrymen. Rev. | Salverson preached to quite a large audience at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Dodson on Tuesday evening, while on Monday he conducted serv- | ices at Trout Lake, ‘There are quite a number of Scandinavians in this vicinity and these. monthly meetings are well attended and much ap- preciated. Mr. Salverson’s next visit will be.on March 28. | itasea Circle Entertains. On Mon ning of this week a} large audience greeted the elocution- | ary and musical entertainment given at Village hall under the auspices of Itasca Circle, Ladies of the G, A. R. Miss Effie Hodgkins sustained her excellent reputation as an elocutionist of more than ordinary ability, and her several appearances on the stage were received -with warm applause. ‘The local assistance on the musical part of the program was enthusiastically re- | ceived and much favorable com. mendation was made upon the merit of the music. The ladies were amply | repaid for their efforts to please the public, as the receipts were nearly} fifty dollars, Tom Murray to Fight. | We take the following from the Hibbing News: ‘Tom Murray and|} Dan Bailiff are in training for a box-| ing match to be pulled off at Deer River in about three weeks. Tom has a hard proposition to go against, but when he is ‘at himsell’ he can face He is scientific, wiry, persistent and as gamey as-the best of them.

Stivers on the resources of Itasea county will be ready for distribution. Each of the papers of Grand Rapids will send out a copy ofthe work to every subscriber in supplemental form ‘fhe Herald-Re- view feels safe in predicting that it will be one of the fidest publications of the kind ever issued im this state both editonally and artistically.

H The nicest line of green stuffs you ; jever saw—lettuce, radishes, onions, | celery, strawberries, Hubbard squash and cranbernes. You will also find | here a fine display of fresh-killed poul- | try—turkeys, ducks, chickens, etc. | Metzger has at all times the choicest cuts of beef, lamb, veal and pork. The wholesale and retail plan adopted by this market is proving very popu- lar. {t enables Mr. Metzger to make | special prices on beef quarters, whole | or halt pigs, bulk lots of sausages, or any other class. of goods of which any | considerable amount is bought. Full stock of everything both here and at Deer River. | Lake’s New Hotel. Says the Cass Lake ‘Times this week: “At no distant date will Cass Lake boast of a hotel second to none | in the north part of the state. ‘The | present outlook is that Dan M. Gunn | of Grand Rapids, will be the landlord of the new hostlery. Of course every- ; thing is not brought up to the point of commencing the work, but the plans have been prepared, and only a few preliminaries remain undetermined. It will be located on the corner of Second street and Second avenue, will be 140 feet front by 125 deep, | three stories high with about 60 rooms lighted by electncity, piped for gas, heated by steam, have bath rooms | and all modern improvements, ‘The building will be brick, and cost about $30,000. ¢ Biakie Got a Roget. R. H. Blakie, vookkeeper for C. E. Seelye at Bena, arrived in town Sun- day from Grand Forks, with his head Talk about a hard-luck ; story—Bob had one to relate, and the evidence presented was prima facie of | the facts as steted. While at Detroit, as a witness in the Seelye-Porter log- ging case, he was taking a quiet nap on the parlor soja at the hotel where he stopped when other parties in the room engaged in a friendly scuffle. They didn’t do a thing but knock a red-hot stove over on Bob’s head, and it is a wonder that he was not roasted to death. A shower of live coals rolled over Ins auburn locks: and } cheerful countenance, burning him } most severely. But that was not the end of Its misfortune. When the party arnved at Staples on their re- turn trip, Mr. Seelye and another witness went into a restaurant for a lunch. Mr. Blakie did not feel much like eating, and he quietly changed cars, as he supposed, for Catlton. Fresently the conductor called for the train convinced the master of ceremonies that no one there held a ticket for the man with the sore head. “Where are you going?” asked the con. “To Carlton,” was the laconic reply. “You're on the wrong train; we're going to Grand Forks.” So westward poor Blakie continued to travel with his nead half roasted and half not roasted. He arrived in Grand Rapids finally and received treatment at St. Benedict's hospital and in a short tme he will have an entirely repaired facial cuticle and a new sup- ply of auburn. If it Suits You, Take It. And on the other hand, if it doesn’t H suit you, you are requested to call August Johnson’s attention to the fact, and if he originally made the suit, he’ll make it suit you. ‘That’s one of the principal reasons for August Johnson’s excellent reputation as a tailor all over | this cSunty. He guarantees every | garment. It 1s just as this paper has it is a rather difficult matter to have made as to fit or the quality of goods when clothes are | made up in Chicago, New York or | San Francisco for Grand Rapids, the goods are | rotten or an ill-fitting garment is sent | to a customer at a distance of some | Different with Johnson. If a mistake | should be made in the fitting of a gar- jment or the goods are not as they | were supposed to be, he regards it as a favor if his patron will report the fact at once so that the defects may |be remedied. For the season of jetfort to get the very latest patterns j | that the factanies have turned out and | ‘he evidently succeeded. His visits to | ‘the lumber camps during the past ; three weeks has resulted in the book, ing of a large number of orders, and the outlook indicates a busy spring and early summer for the boss tailor. Geod Dinners Prepared. The popularity of the “Northern” restaurant has greatly increased since Rody Hawley took charge of its affairs. He has made a specialty of setting up a so-cent dinner for 25 | cents and people who like to eat good | thiugs were not slow to discover the | fact. His Sunday dinners are con- ceded to be by far the best in town. He keeps the very choicest that the mar- kets afford and knows how to serve it.

Charley thoroughly understands his business and work of that kind is perfectly safe in his hands. Will Nisbett, the hustling jewelry man, returned Thursday from a trip to several of the lumber camps where he took orders for watches and jewelry. During his travels he found business good and a very gratifying spirit of liberality among the boys. But the fact is, Nisbett is so well known and his reputation as a reliable jeweler so well established that it is easy for him to do business. There was consideral complaint made Monday night anent the weather that prevailed in Village hall during the enter- tainment given by Itasca Circle, G. A. R. The room was most disagreeably cola. It appears that there was no wood on hand and therefore the trouble cannot be attributed to Marshal McCormick. Our village opera house should not enter into competition with K. P. hall in this respect. Dr. C. A. Simons paid. a visit to Grand Rapids this week and made proof of his claim to a valuable piece of land in 148-29 before Clerk of Court Rassmussen. The genial doctor has put in seven years on the Third river, and inasmuch as he has been a constant resident on the land, he has cer- tainly earned it. Since the advent of Cass Lake he has made that town his trading point, so during the past year or so we have seen very little of him. His five growth of whiskers, however, and apparent good health indicates that this climate agrees with him wonderfully well. State Land Sale. Parties who desire to purchase state lands should file their applications with County Auditor Farrell for the same. These applications will be placed on file and the state auditor will hold a sale here sometime in the month of May. Don’t forget the clearance sale at the Itasca Mercantile Company's store. Shoes almost given away —. selling way below cost. ~
