rau eats Brat fren TALK OF VILLAGE PARK. Many Citizens Realize the Necessity of a : Public Park in Grand Rapids. ‘There are very few villages the size of Grand Rapids that has not one or more public parks. The new towns on the Mesabe range are now agitat- ing the’ question, and enterprising citizens are pushing the projects along to a successful conclusion. There ‘is no town in all Northern Minnesota more admirably situated or on a more | substantial basis than is our own Grand Rapids. afford to let slip by the many golden opportunities that are now presented for securing the most desirable tracts of land in this village for park pur- poses. At- the present time there are a great many very desirable parcels to select from that can be had for very little money. In a few years when. Grand Rapids has grown to metropolitan proportions the proper- ues that can now be secured for a trifling sum will cost many thousands. | Some of our more enterprising citizens have already looked over some of the adjacent properties to the village and if good judgment is used the council wiil get figures on some acres before it 1s too late. An Intolerable Nuisance. We do not know of a single enter- tainment ever having taken place at Village hall without being disturbed and annoyed by a crowd of half- grown hoodlums, who congregate in the rear end of the hall. ‘They man- }, in some way to gain admis- sion and appear to enjoy themselves by making life miserable for every- body else in the room, ‘They per- sistently interfere with whatever per- formance may te upon the stage and m of. themselves such an intoler- able nuisance that the audience 1s generally willing that the miscreants should be bodily fired out ot the windows into the street or alley be- low. It would be an easy matter to abate these disturbances if the village council would instruct the marshal to fire the last one of them out of the hall when they get “gay. A. large number of these boys secure ladders from the fire hall below and gain ad- mission through the windows. A few iron bars would also prevent this. A Wise Dog: Dave Esterbrook has a valuable log and one that is wise beyond the average member of the canine family, according to the following — story: Dave 1s a httle deaf. One day this week he started to walk from Grand Rapids to Cohasset on the railroad track. His faitnful dog was with him. When out a couple of miles the dog was running along ahead, as dogs are apt to do, when he suddenly turned and came tearing down the track to- ward his master, whom he violently jumped against and began to bark. Dave turned just in time to see an ap- proaching train coming around a bend but a short distance behind. Did the dog realize the danger in which his master was and does he know that his master is hard of hear- ing? : Some Choice Pike. Mr. C. Li. Barnard, of Sioux City, fowa, who has been here on a two weeks’ visit to his parents, Mr. .and Mrs. J. D, Barnard, 1s thoroughly convinced that Deer lake contains plenty of fine fish. In company with A. KE. Nott, of St. Paul; George Booth, A. E. Kribs and F, A. King, of Grand Rapids, Mr, Barnard tested the contents of Deer lake with rod and reel the first of the week and he came back to town a happy man. He landed three Great Northern pike that weighed 38 pounds. Separately the, three weighed 16,12 and 10 pounds each. ‘The others of the party were also well rewarded for their ef- forts and brought home a fine string pf black bass- . The Great Syndicate Show.

They had a splendid ride and caught a fine string of fish.—Cass Lake Times. Equalizers at Work. The board of county commissioners met on Monday asa board of equal- ization, and have been in session since. At the rate in which the work is being disposed of it looks as if all of next week will be required to finish up. The job is much more of a contract than was at first thought. It seems that the town buard did not make many changes and the com- missioners will have to go over the entire list from start to. finish. A large number of people have been brought befere the board to show cause, if any they haye, why their taxes should not be raised, but in most cases they failed to show such cause, and their assessments were ac- cordingly boosted a few notches. Nearly all changes from the asses- sors’ figures made thus far have been increases and this will probably be the action taken in the majority of cases ‘where alterasion is found ne- cessary. “Che commissioners: will go over the list very thoroughly, and as everyone has an opportunity to ap- pear and state their grievances, the result of the board’s work should be highly satisfactory. _ The proposition to revoke the order issued last summer discontinuing the sale of Chippewa timber lands in Min- nesota is assuming definite shape. Great pressure has been brought to bear on Secretary Hitchcock to have him sell a portion of the lands in the proposed national park. He has so far refused to accede to these re- quests, but much depends on the re- port expected in a short time from Capt. Mercer, who was asked to re- port on the proposition to sell a por- {ion of this timber land, | was Laundered at the A Fine Stock This is what you will find at the new e furniture store of George F.
