City ‘and Vicinity. | Fin Excelient Showing. On Wednesday Prof, Carroll of Central school, received trom the state examination board the corrected papers sent by the pupils of his eighth room at the January examination. ‘There were altogether 62 papers that passed—one more than at both ex- aminations last year. ‘Iwo of the pupils, Misses Bertha Fuller and Mamie Sherry, each submitted six papers and all received very high av- ages. Some of the subjects treated were meadival history, modern his- tory, Grecian and Roman history, solid geometry and higher algebra. Professor Carroll says that he believes that as many more papers will be sub- mitted at the forthcoming June ex- aminations. When it is taken into consideration that only about two years ago not a paper sent to the state board received a_ passable per- centage, it will be noted that vast strides have been made by our educa- tional institution. Dr. Howes in Missouri. The Duluth News Tribune of Tuesday contains an interview with Dr. J. R. Howes, formerly of this place, in which he says he has made up his mind to stay in Missoun, for the present at least. He 1s heavily in- terested in several lead and zine mines in the Jophn country and says he is prospering. He believes that that country is destined to become the greatest zinc aad lead producing coun- try of the world. “Although,” he says, “there are large workings at Joplin, it is a poor nan’s camp. ‘The mining there is not attended by the heavy expenses of quartz mining, and men of moderate means can do well there after reasonable experience.” ‘The Doctor says he will stay there as long as the price of zinc keeps any where near where it is at present. Rt Metzger’s Market. We suppose you know by this time that this market 1s the place to get the best of everything, but it will do no harm to remind you of the fact. This week, besitles the usual staple pro- ducts that you find there at all times. Mr. Metzger has some fine strawber- ries and ripe tomatoes. These will go oretty well with some of his exceffent poultry for your Sunday dinner. He has also just received a large shipment of canned meats such as roast turkey, lamb tongue,/veal Joaf, sliced bacon, bacon and greens, etc. Also such things as lobsters, clams, clam soup and oysters. He has an excellent ine of sausage of all kinds made by the finest sausage artist in Minnesota, His stock of fresh meats and vege- tables is as complete as ever—in fact, there is nothing he ought to have that he hasn’t got. 4 Big Yield of Pine. The Duluth News Tribune in sum- ming up the lumber question has the following to say of one of the largest logging firms in this vicimty: ‘Pow- ers & Simpson are said to have’ been cutting over some lands in the north- ern part of St. Louis county that have yielded as high as 1,800,000 feet toa single 40 acres. This 1s at the rate of 22,600,000 for a single section, worth nearly $115,000 ‘at $5 a thousand, which is the price that good white pine commands readily enough. Sec- tions that run as high as 20,000,000 feet are not rare, it is said, though they are sufficiently uncommon to cause comment. It is said that there is a stand of pine on the Eastern Min- nesota road between Bena and Cass Lake that will measure about 16,000,- 00 feet to the section.” To Increase Plant. In order to keep pace with the rapid development of the town, ‘Thomas McAlpine of the Itasca laundry, has about decided tu make a steam laun- dry out of his place. His present quarters are too smail for that purpose, however, and he will probably secure one of the store rooms on the lower flocr of the Odd _ Fellows’ building. The Itasca laundry does excellent work, and being the only place of the kind in the city conducted by Cau- casians, has enjoyed a very good pat- ronage. New Clothing Store. Mr. B. L. Lieberman of West Superior, was here the first of the week and completed arrangements with Judge Huson for the renting of the building on Leland avenue form- erly occupied by Sam Oreckovsky. Mr. Lieberman will put in a large stock of clothing, shoes, hats, furnish- ing goods, etc. He expects to be ready for business about the latter part of next week. Go to Cleaning Up, We are pretty nearly up against the first of Apzil, and although it is not sammer weather yet, it is time that everybody was at work devising ways and means for the disposing of the rubbish piles that have accumulated in their yards and alleys during the winter. These piles, if allowed §o re- main, are a menace to the public health and to delay their removal might prove very dangerous. It is not a costly job to have the un- sightly matter carted away, and it is about time to begin. Mrs. Livingstone Dead. On Monday the news reached. here of the death of Mrs. Luther S. Liv- ingstone of Chicago, a sister of Mr. O. L. Mather cf this place. Mr. Mather was at the bedside of his sister at the time of her death, he having been notified of her condition a few days previous. Mrs. Livingstone had many warm friends in this town, where she had on several occasions visited, and these will learn with sor- row of her untimely .death, Mr. Mather is expected home next week. Agricultural Society Meeting. In another column will be found an official call for the annual meeting of the itasca County Agricultural So- ciety. The meeting will be held at Village hail in Grand Rapids, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, on Friday, March 30, 1900, for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year and for the transaction of such other business as may be brought before the meeting.

It is about three by two feet in size, and besides showing the great fleets engaged in battle on July 3, 1898. the pictures of the prin- cipal officers are given. ‘The mem- bers of the post feel very proud of the gift and it will hang in their hall be- side the picture of Gettysburg, also a presentation from the senator. Fe Good Reeord. Dave Collier, who had charge of camp No.% on Willow miver, for the Backus-Brooks company, made a rec- ord that few will be able to equal, dur- ing the past season. ‘To start with he took a camp that other foremen were afraid to tackle, because the timber to be harvested was scattered’ over forty-three different sections. — Not- withstanding this big disadvantage he put in over four million feet of logs in fifty days with a crew of fifty men. Experimental Report. We have this week received from St. Anthony Park one hundred copies of the report of the Northeast Exper ment station, a copy of which we will be pleased to hand to anyone asking or sending for it.

Hans Hanson came down from camp about ten days ago and with the proceeds of his labors proceeded to take on a good-sized jag. When Hans gets full he becomes a little too noisy to make himself companionable, and so it happened that Marshal Mc- Cormick gathered him in and Justice Barnard 1s keeping him in for twenty days. .This 1s Hans’ second exper- ience of the kind since last fall, Short Twenty Per Cent. The “Head of the Lakes,” pub- lished’ at Duluth, contains the fol- lowing: “J. P. Sims, of the Itasca Lumber Company of Grand Rapids, was in the city the past week. He saysthat his company will put in about 70,000,000 feet of logs this win- ter. He estimates the log crop short- age in this sectioh at 20 per cent.” Ain Invitation.
