The following ex- .cript from the Minneapolis Times will prove our assertion to the satis- faction of people living in this terri- iory: “Smallpox is said to be preva- lent in the Minnesota lumber eamps, and spreading at an alarming rate. John Fahey and Edward Dweis ar- rived in the city yesterday, and re- ported that the Granby and Deer River camps are both under quaran- tine, and that deputy sheriffs are guarding all the roads. The camps are along the eastern branch of the Eastern Minnesota, and ten miles apart. Medical assistance is being given by the Bemidji and Grand Rap- ids authorities. The spread is said to be due to the system of payment inaugurated this season by the com- panies. The men are paid off every thirty days, instead of at the end of the season, and when the men re- ceive their money they generally go to the nearest town.” As a matter of fact there have been fewer cases of the dread disease in this particular section of the northwest than almost any other that has been heard from. The authorities of [tasca county have been very careful in handling all cases of contageous disease that has come to their notice and asa result the three mild cases of smallpox that have been discovered were at once confined in the village pest house at Grand Rapids and no other cases have since developed. No camps at or near Deer River bave been quar- antined, Health officer Dr. Phomas Russeil has vaccinated the men in many of the. camps. The Times re- port is also in error when it says that the men in the woods are being paid » Preva- ist- off every thirty dayg. This ‘As only done when an employe demijds his “time” and signifies his ion to “yump his yob.” i Fifteen Thousand Dollars. As will be seen by the official re- port of the board of county cota mis- sioners in the Herald-Review today the board authorized the issue of county bonds as voted for at the gen- eral election held on November 6. ‘The matter was brought up by Chaic- man Rellis, who introduced a resolu- tion to offer bonds to the extent of $30,000. There were present a num- ber of citizens who expressed them- selves as bein opposed to issue $30,- C00, but thought that $15,000 would be about the right amount to expend at this time. After quite a lengthy discussion resolutions were passed authorizing the issue of bondsin the sum of fifteen thousand dollars, wr ch will be offered for sale at 5 per cent as soon as Auditor Farrell has completed the necesssary preliminary details. Getting Preliminary Pointers Senator and Mrs. C. C. McCarthy left Tuesday lest for St. Paul where they will spend the next three’ or four months while the sepator is looking after his senatorial duties. The legislature will not convene until January 8, but Mr. McCarthy desired to be alittle anead of time in order that he might accumulate some pre- liminary pointers before active law- making begins. Before leaving he expressed himself freely as being in favor of Evans for United States Sen. ator, During the next three monts our senator will to be’ a pretty busy statesman as he expeets to in- troduce and advance several import- ant measures. It has been said that his famous log lien law will be at- tacked, andif the matter should be up for modification or repeal he will fight the proposition with the same vigor and ability that be dis- played during the last session in securing its passage.

Ou Christmas night, itis alleged, he went to the home of Mr. Carrier on Hoffman ayeuue and effected an entrance by breaking in the door. Mr. Carrier is away from home working in the woods. Mrs. Carrier’s sister, Miss Georgiana La- Fond, has been stopping with her. Christmas night, however, the lacies were at the home of Joseph Lafond, and the house broken into was occu- pied by the two Lafond boys, aged about sixteen and seventeen years. When Cochran entered he, began to light matches and investigate the premises. One of the boys demanded to know what he wanted. ‘I guess 1 made a mistake and got into the wrong house,’} was the reply, and thereupou hereireated. Later, the door was again broken in but po entrance was made. A warrant was sworn out the next day and he was locked gp. ‘The in- formation charges the defendant with the crime of housebreaking with in- tent tocommita crime. The officers say he does not deny the charge and offers as an excuse that he was drunk aud did not- know what he was dping. The home of W. V. Fuller was also visited the same nightand ap attempt at entrance made but without suc- cess. Mr. Fuller found a muffler ly- ing on the ground by one of the win- dows of his. house which he turned over to Marshal McCormick the next morning. The officer identified the article as being the property of Coch- ran and upon meeting the latter Mr. McCormick said to him, ‘“‘Her’s your mufiler, Hal. You should be more careful about where you undress,” Cochran thanked him and accepted the neck gear. Yesterday afternoon the young map was brought into Jus- tice Barnard’s court where he waived examination and was bound over to the grand jury ona bond of three hundred dollars. George Cochran of Hibbing, father of the accused, was present and succeeded in securing the bond. A short time ago young Coch- ran was before the court on a similar charge and was fined $75 or ninety days in jail. His father paid the fine. UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSED. The Village Election Held on Monday Last Completely Endorses Council. The special village election held last Monday resulted even more favor- ably than the most sanguine friends of the project had hoped for. It did not require much of a prophet to foretell that the expenditures made by the village council during the past year for the establishment here of a paper and pulp’ mill would receive the favorable votes of a big majority of our citizens. It was to be expect- ed, however, that a few kickers would put in an appearance, but if there are any such they remained away from the polls entirely. Owing to the fact that. there was po oppo- sition in evidence a very light vote was cast, but of the 76 ballots found in the box the whole number were distinctly marked “yes.” At Metzger’s Market Metzger certainly has some rare delicacies for New Year’s dinner. Just take alook at his magnificent display of countless good things that he has for sale and yon’ll have no rea- son to feel that a more complete mar- ket can be found any where this side the Philipines. He has a goodly sup- ply of green stuff, such as celery, radishes, green onions, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, Holland seed cabbage, Hubbard squash, etc. He has some of the finest shell oysters ever placed on the market, fresh lobsters, smelts, Lake Superior trout,Columbia river salmon and all the finest local varieties. It’s hardly necessary to say ansthing about his meats—they are always the best. Poultry he has of the choicest quality. If you want something real fine just take a pig- roaster. Injured His Toes W. G. Richardson, an employe of the Starks, at their mills out from Deer River a few miles, was brought to the hospital Wednesday, suffering with an injuyed foot. He says: that while attempting to board the east- bound freight coming to Grand Rap- ids he slipped beneath the rear trucks ot the caboose and the two wheels passed over the toes of his right foot. The extent of the injuries cannot yet be fully determined, says Dr. Gilbert. who is attending Richardson. There are some conflicting stories as to how the accident really oecured, é A New Store We wish to announce to the people of GrandR apids and Vicinity to the fact thatwehave opened a store in the : Powers’ building with a full and complete linc General Merchandise to which we invite your inspection.
