MeClenahan Begins His Official _ Duties in This District at Grand Rapids t _ Those present last Monday morn- ing av 9 o’clock when district court convened were very agreeably sur- prised with what took place before the regular order of business was be- gun. Judge Holland. had said good- bye‘the Saturday noon previous, but he was on hand Monday morning, and the purpose vf his presence is best told by the judge himself in the fol- lowing. He said: “Court come to order: e “Gentlemen, when I adjourned court Saturday last until nine o’clock this morning I did not expect then to ever open court again in Itasca coun- ty or elsewhere, but some of my ‘friends suggested that I had better Stay in the Rapids over Sunday, and as I wanted to see Mr. McClanhan after he arrived, and as Grand Rapids isa very pleasant place in which to stay, I concluded to remiai here un- til teday. The salaries of of- | “Mr. McClanahan came to Brainerd } from Baltimore avout nineteen years ago; went into my office and we form- eda copartnership under the name ‘of Holland & McClenahan and did a Jaw business until I went on the ‘bench in 1889. He then took an of- fice iv the same building on the same floor, across the hall from my office. He hada key to my office and has had access to my library since. Ispeak board will, advertise for bids to be fof this simply, gentlemen, to show you the regard I had for his integrity ‘and honesty, which sti]l remains the same as at any time in the past. I ‘went to Brainerd and commenced the practice of law in October 1871; I was elected county attorney of Crow Wing county that fall and was re- elected and continued to perform the Wuties of that office with the excep- tion of two years, until [ went on the bench in 1889. I performed the du- ties of county attorney of Crow Wing county for fifteen years and as judge of the Fifteenth judical district for; twelve years, making 27 years that I have performed the official duties of ‘county ‘attorney of Crow Wing 'coun- ty and judge of the district court of the Fifteenth judicial district; and.in ‘few moments, Twill to private life and do so with. pleasure. Not, however, to remain: idle, but to give my attention exclu- sively to my private business. Ani now, the chair and commence the perform- ance of the duties of judge of the ‘Fifteenth judicial district. If the people of this county and the at torneys of this village treat Judge McClenahan as nicely as they have treated me, and Judge McClenahan treats you as nicely as I have tried to treat you, you will pass down the pathway of life pleasantly and satis- factorily to you all. And may..the people of Itasca couuty and the at- torneys of Grand Rapids and’ my stenographer, who has been with me soiong and whom I respect so highly, be blessed with health, wealth and prosperity, and may God, in his in- finite goodness, protect, guide and al- ways be with you, Judge McClenahan, in the performance of your official duties as judge of the Fifteenth judi- cial district uf Minnesota. Good Bye. Judge McClenahan responded as fol- lows: a “Gentlemen: 1 would be vey stol- id indeed should I fail to appreciate the generous impulse that has induc- ed Judge Holland to speak 4s he has, and I consider myself’ particularly fortunate in being introduced by one so well and favorably known to you for so many years, and who, by long and faithful service, so richly de- serves the many warm friends he is leaving behind him. When the time comes for me to lay down the duties of this office I shall feel that lam most fortunate if Iam as free to say as is Judge Holland today, that I hold and dgserve to hold as high a place in your esteem. It is a part of the duties of a judge to see that the business of the court is conducted with expedition and with diligence, and in obedience to that part of my duty I think it is best that we pto- ceed at once to thé business that is now before us without further cere- mony. The,court, therefore, will now be in order for the transaction of such business as may come before it. ——— A Jolly Party Banquets The official and ex-official roster of Itasca county officers gathered at the banquet board of Hotel Pokegama on Tuesday eveninglast.

Hicks bases his yearly fore- casts of storm and weather, it is a re- markable fact that specific warnings of every great storm, flood, cold wave and drouth, have been plainly printed in his now famous Almanac for many years. The latest startling proof of this fact was the destruction of Gal- veston, Texas, on the very day named by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac, as one of disaster by storm along the gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far the finest, most complete and beautiful yet published, is now ready. This remarkable book sof near two hundred pages, splendidly illustrated with charts. and half-toned engrav- ings, goes as a premium to every sub- scriber who pays one dollar a year for Prof. Hicks’, journal, Word and Works. The Almanac alone is sent prepaid for only 25c. Order frot Word and works Publising Comp: 2201 Loeust Street, St, Louis, Mo | f
