It looked decidedly bad for the safety of the village for a while on ‘Tuesday. A forty mile gale was blowing from the direction in which the forests are afire and it was feared that this might reach town. The fire department was called out and held in readiness, but along in the after- noon the wind changed and the dan- ger passed. Many citizens were heard to remark that the thing to do to pre vent all danger from forest fires would be to back-fire around the village some time whzn the wind was favor- able. ‘There is a great deal of inflam- able material m_ the shape of old €hoppings and tops as dry as matches ttered around in every direction and should this catch fire during a wind, the town would be in danger of destruction. In most places it would not damage the property 1n the least to burn off this refuse. Highly Complimentary. State High Scoool Inspector George 3. Aiton must have been very favor- ably impressed with what he saw and heard about our school on_his recent visit. He lost no opportunity to praise our excellent educational facil- ties when speaking to citizens, and as a result of lus having been here our town will receive much favorable comment. Prof. Aiton said that hardly a Minnesota city or town out- side of Duluth could boast of such a school building and equipment. It was highly graufying, he said to get this far out onto the frontier and find advantages of this kind. He com- plemented all our teachers, and es- pecially Prof. Carroll, on the excellent progress made, and was pleased to see with what hearty co-operation our people aided the faculty i maintain- ing a high standard. Such praise from a man in Prof. Aiton’s position 1s worth having. Gladstone Changes Hands. On May first the Hotel Gladstone had been under the management. of Messrs. Wilder & Hickey forone year. On that date a further change took place, Mr. Hickey retiring and Mr. Wilder assuming sole control. Dur- ing the time that these gentlemen have had the management of this pop- ar hotel it has been very successful and conducted in an exceilent manner. Mr. Wilder will apply every effort to have it maintain under his mange- ment the excellent standard 1t reached under the former, and being a hotel man of many years experience, will succeed. Many will be sorry to see Mr. Hickey retire from the business as he has made a host of friends dur- ing his term oftenure. Just what busmmess he will embark in he has not as yet decided. Beath of dchn Beavern. On Tuesday word was received by officers of the Woodmen’s lodge here stating that one of their members, john Beavern, had died in Duluth. Clerk George Vient was sent after the remains at once and returned with them on Thursday, on which day they were intered under the auspices of the lodge at Itasca cemetery. De- ceased was in the employ of the Powers-Simpson company about twen- ty five miles from Hibbing, when he was taken sick with pneumonia. He was brought to Duluth and taken to St. Mary’s Hospital where he died after a sickness of three days. He was well known here and _ highly re- garded. A mother and sister, both living in Canada, were the only rela- tives of whom any trace could be found, a Burned Bown. About 10:30 o’clock Monday even- ing the residence belonging to A. Racine and occupied by George Vient and family, situated on the cor- ner of Houghton avenue and Seventh street, was discoverel on fire. An alarm was turned in and the depart- ment responded promptly, but the fire had gained too muc headway and the building burned to the ground. No one was in the house at the time the fire started, the family having spent the evening with some neigh- Dors, and it is thought that a hghted jamp left in the house exploded and caused the blaze. But little insurance was carried on either the building or furniture, A Bad Bridge. The attention of our township au- thorities is called to the condition of the bridge spanning Prairie river on the Trout lake road. ‘The other day a horse went plump through it and it was only ‘with*the greatest difficulty that the animal was gotten out with- out being mjured, It would be much cheaper to repair the bridge than pay foy a*team. Fishing Season. ‘ According to the laws of the state of Minnesota, ‘uesday was the day on which game fish might be caught i the waters of the state. Quite a number of fishing parties have been out in every. difection, but the more favorite spot thus far has been Trout lake, where the enthusiastic angler has had considerable success 1n his at- tempt to beguile salmo confinis into making fatal darts at the revolv- ing metalic spoon. _ Some very good catches of this toothsome fish have been made during .the week and as | their biting season is at present at its highth no doubt many more will be captured. u | Close Up Early. We notice that the store clerks in the towns around us are trying to get employers to close their stores at 8 o’clock during the summer months. This was the custom in Grand Rapids for a long time until last year when there was a hitch~in the proceedings owing to the fact that one or two of the merchants refused to vecome par- ties to the agreement. ‘The clerks here are in hopes that. this difficulty will be overcome this summer and that they will be allowed to have their evenings to themselves. that the storekeepers can see their: way clear to grant this, Modern Samaritans. On Tuesday evening North Star Council No.9, Modern Samaratans held the first meeting since its organiza- tion and seventeen new members were admitted. The local officers were assisted in the initiatory work by Neighbors O. F. Collier, D. A. Cone and C. P, Earl of Alpha council, Duluth. ‘This lodge is the youngest of our fraternal orders but has already a membership of about fifty. ‘The next meeting will be held on Tuesday May rs, when itis expected that many more candidates will be admitted. Huson-Saunders. C. E. Huson of this place was on Tuesday evening united in marriage to Miss Maggie Saunders of Duluth, atthe last named city. Mr. Huson has been a resident of Grand Rapids during the past eight years, is highly respected and 1s in every way an ex- amplary young man. His bride was also formerly a resident here. Both have many friends who will join us in best wishes for their future happiness ‘The young couple will go ona short wedding tour to the Twin Cities be- fore returning to take up housekeeping here. Club Entertained Last Saturday the members of the Woman’s club were entertained by Misses Cleveland and Gibson at the Hotel. Pokegama.. Progressive ano- grams was the principal diversion of the evening, at which Mesdames George F. Kremer and A. A. Kremer carned off the honors. A dainty lunch was served and the tables taste- fully decorated with roses aid smilax. The affair was a most enjoyable one and the hostesses were very highly complimented ~on the charming man- ner in which everything had been arranged. From Manilla. Mr. and Mrs. John E,. Bowden this week received a letter from their son, Frank E., who 4s with the Four- teenth U.S. infrantry in the Philip- pines. ‘The soldier boy says that he has just been discharged from the hospital where he has been for about three weeks. He also says that inas- much as his regiment is doing duty in Manilla proper, life 1s decidedly mo- notonous, and he would not very seriously object if he were tobe re- heved.
