The average number of inmates is three, all disabled, as there are no needy poor in this county who are able to work. The county is assessed at $3,500,000, but the real value is fully $10,000,000. GOOD WORK DONE. Chas. H. Dickinson, the genial drug- gist for the Itasca Mercantile Compa- ny, made the pictures for nearly all of the: tewn views in this book, repre- senting Grand Rapids, Deer River and Cohasset.

Kearney gave a good picture of Grand Rapids as it looked in 1889. It appears at the top page 16.
