Tt was generally conceded that the: proposition to issue township bonds: tothe amount of $3,500 for bridge. building purposes would carry ajmoa unanimously. ‘There apppeared to be no opposition and for that reason the | vote was much lighter than it othe wise would have been. There were) only 76 votes cast of which 63 were in favor of the issue and 13 against it. ‘The board feels that there will be no difficulty experienced in disposing of | the proposed issue at a very favor- 4 able rate of interest. The bids of L. H. Johnson of Minneapoiis for the construction of the bridge across Prairie river will likely be formally accepted as soon as the bonds are sold. Contractor Johnson will begin work at once and says the structure will be dune not !ater than the last of March. The town board held a meeting Tuesday and passed resolu- tions authorizing the bonds issue in pursuance of the vote of the people. it is a matter of congratulation to a large number of residents to know that asubstantial bridge is to be built across the Prairie river. L. 0. D’Anjou Dead After many months of suffering Ex- Alderman L. O. D?Anjou passed away on Wednesday morning of this week. He had been in poor health for near- ly two years aud in spite of all that medica! and surgical service could do he steadily failed until death came to his relief. He died of cancer of the stomach. ‘The deceased had been a resident of Grand Rapids for about eight | s aud was engaged in the hotel business.

Fath- er Gamache will burn the mortage that has long been held on St. Joseph’s Catholic church. A _ year ‘ago the debt was more than a_thous- and dollars but today it is entirely wiped out. To the energy, hard work and popularity of Rev. Gamache much credit is due for the taking up of thisindebtedness. ‘The trustees, Messrs. Farrell and Hepfel, have been the financiers to whom the congreg- ation is also iargely indebted for the splendid results that have been at- tained. Settling Up the Big Fork. Wn. Perrington retured last F<i day from a two weeks’ cruise through the Big Fork Country. He was up in the Vance district, and was vety much surprised to find how rapidly that section is being settled with at- tual farmers. He says they are com- ing in constantly and at a rate that will soon make the Big Fork the most prosperous section of Itasca county.

The Electors of Grand Rapids Will Decide the $6,000 Appropriation. ‘There appears to be no opposition to the proposed appropation of $6,000 by vote of the people to aid in the Construction of a dam across the river. The Herald- Review is convinced that all classes | of citizens are favorable to the en- terprise and that the vote will be quite unamnious in the affirmative. The bailot to be voted sets forth the Object of the election in a very con- cise manner, It reads asgfollows: Granting, extending and giving to the Grand Rapids Water Power & Boom Company cash aid to the extent of six thousand dollars (8 :V00) to be used by said Grand apids Water Power &Boom Co.in improving the Mississippi river at and above said Graud Rapids by building a dam on and across said river, coudemning lands for dam puroses and for overflow of water and vonstructing a canal to be used in connection with saiddam, all at said Village of Per ee aoe nceeciay “Yes” »“No G. A. R. Danee. | On Thursday evening last B. F. Huson post, G. A. R., gave a very enjoyable dance at Village hall. The attendance was not as large as had been hoped for by thre members of the post but those present are a unit in saying that no more plesant party ever met in Grand Rapids to “trip the light fantastic,” A delicious supper was seryed by Mrs. J.B. Bennington and Erve Martin. The dance was given for the purpose of raising funds to be used in defray- ing expenses for the mounting of the cannon recently sent to the post by the government, After paving ex- penses, however, there was very little surplus cash. It has been suggested bya number of citizens that the piece should be mounted and the necessary money raised by popular subscription. The cost would npt be greatand if the matter should be taken up by aregular appointed com- mittee of the G. A. R. in connection tha citizens’ committee. the work “/ could be done at once. Gun Club Banquet It follows, per force of their innate natures, associations and general en- vironments that members of a gun club should -be sportively inclined. The Grand Rapids Gun club member- ship is no exception to They’re gamey, every mother’s-son of them, and therefore it is not to be wondered at that the “booby” shots of the club should stand for their wager and banquet the “warm” members at Hetel Pokegama. ‘he event took place last Saturday evening. News- paper represéntatives were excluded, and therefore a reliable report cannot be made. However, Al. Kribs says and John Beckfelt says, Ed Kremer says and Andy Clair says, Bert Pow- ers says and Dan Gunn says—but what’s the use? The evidence is too conflicting for publication. Death of Mrs. A. McIntosh. The sad news was received here on Saturday last of the death of Mrs.tA. McIntosh, which took place at Du- luth on the 15th inst. Mrs. McIntosh had been in poor health for over a year past, and had been receiving treatment at St. Mary’s hospital in Duluth for sometime.- The de- ceased was a very popular ledy in, this community where she had resided during the past ten years. The re- mains were taken to Michigan for interment. The bereaved busband has the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Mrs. McIntosh was about thirty-five years of age.
