The Magnet warns usagainst shoot- ing the poundmaster, and says ‘the poundmaster is a man that will go clear through.” Yes, he’ll gothrough anything that’s gothroughable. He went through the Herald-Review for six fifty and wouidn’t even allow us to give him credit for a dollar on pound fees. He insisted on receiving coin of the realm, after having driven our bovine in from near the Experiment farm, Editor C. S. Jamieson, of the Bor- der Budget, Koochiching, arnved yesterday and will remain in the vil- lage on business until Monday or Tuesday. Considering the oppor- tunities offered in that territory Messrs Jamieson and Holler are publishing one of the best weeklies in Minnesota. Mr. Jamieson says that the outlook for northern Itasca county is brighter than ever before. The coming of the railroad will make things boom, Miss Lizzie Whaling returned Sun- day from Duluth where she had an operation performed on her eyes by Dr. J. D. Titcomb, the specialist. Miss Whaling’s eyes had been crossed since she was abouttwo years of age and each year they grew worse until the sight became much impaired. The operation was a delicate one and gf stone that have been hauled to the her friends feared that it would be im- erator at Swan River, whose arrest for: trip-into the Big Fork country where | a ad possible for the most skilled specialist to remedy the defect. However, the young lady only remained in Duluth wo days when she returned with the sight already greatly improved and the globes perfectly straight in the orbits. ‘To those not acquainted with .the wonderful progress that has been made in the treatment of the eyes by specialists in recent years the immedi- ate success of the operation 1s regard- ed as marvelous. A dog with a human hand in tts mouth attracted the attention of twomen on Kindred avenne near Hazelton’s blacksmith shop yesterday afternoon, The men frightened the canine and he dropped the hand. They took it to the-office of Dr, Gil- bert who pronounced it to be theright hand of anadult female, The flesh still remaming on the bones was not in the the least decayed and if it isa human hand it has evidently not long been seperated from the arm, Itus rather gratifying to note that frost in the central and southern por- tions or the state was much more se- vere than in this section the first days of June. We do not feel a sense of gratification because our southern neighbors are less fornuate than the inhabitants of the north, but because it illustraits to a marked degree the fact that Itasca county 1s no more; libale to late spring frosts than are the more southern counties. ‘The crop bulletin of the government weather bureau for June 10 gives the report as here stated. The township board or supervisors will meet at their hall on June 24, to review the assessor’s roll. All persons who are interested should appear at that time and place to register any protest they may have as to the amount of their taxes. If the assessor has made an under estimate of the the value of any citizen’s property the citizen may urge upon the board to raisethe amount. Or if he feels that his property has been overestimated, he may try to have it reduced. As- sessor R. H. Bailey has posted official notices to this effect. The Lumberman’s bank has distrib- uteded a number of very neat and convenient pocket purses to their patrons. The Herald-Review ac- knowledges the receipt of one with the editor’s name embossed thereon for which the cashier will please accept our thanks It is both usefvl and convenient in appearance and at the first opportunity we will put it to the use for which it is intended. Each purse has the name of the recipient neately printed on the outside and the words “Compliments of Lumberman’s bank, Grand Rapids, Minn.” George T. Robinson was in town the other dav having come down from his homestead at Big Falls. He says that territory is rapidly setthng up with homesteaders. An effort is being made to induce the county.commis- sioners to appropriate a few hundred dollars for-road-building | between the Big and = Little falls; Mr. Robinson says that the building of about twenty- five miles of road would shorten the! distance to Grand Rapsds and Deer River about fifty miles, and that these two towns would thereby receive all the trade from that country. After an illness of many weeks Den-| 4 Benedict’s |} nis Newman died at St. hospital on Thursday last at 2 o’clock a.m. «Fhe-decedent was about forty- five years old. He had lived in this county for twenty-two years and was recognized as a must competent and reliable woodsman and timber cruiser. His triends were only limited by the number of his acquaintanees, who are | | to be found all over norther Minne- sota. For a number of years he had been in the employ of James Sherry of this place. ‘The decedent is surviv- ed by a wife, and son about two years | | of age. Interment was made in Itasca } ¥ cemetery yesterday afternoon. A Narrow Escape. The Eastern’ Minnesota passenger train, leaving Duluth Wednesday morning on this division, crashed into afreight train on the trestle over which the railroad finds its outlet from Duluth. It was a wreck of possibilities, but singularly fortunate in its outcome. ‘The trestle is thirty feet above the ground. The passen- ger was behind time in leaving and was making good time. A freight had been given pussage from the bridge under impression that the passenger had gone by. A dense fog prevailed and the engineers could not see each other until within half a block apart. Both stuck to their posts and made} The en-|§ gine of the the freight was jammed|! back on the trucks of the tender and| Mf the tender telescoped the box car in|§ Ed.

Theen- gineers, John Tharely and 8, F, ‘Thompson, escaped with little injury, Neither the cars or eitherengine left the track. Some of the pass2ngers were bruised by the sudden stop, but not seriously. The train reached Grand Rapids about three hours be- hind time. A Everybody should decorate on the glorious Fourth. The Itasca Mercan- ule store has on hand an ample INVESTIGATING ELECTRIC LIGHTS The Council Considering Municipal Own- ership of Electric Light Plant. President D. M. Gunn of the village council lett Thursday of this week on a tour of inspection of electric light plants, for the purpose of gathering information on that subject as to cost of construction, maintenance, ete. He will tirst visit Wadena where it is said there isa modern, up-to-date system, after which he will go to Little Falls and perhaps one or two other places. Recorder King and Councilman Rassmussen may go to IT'wo Harbors to inspect the plant of that village After the re- port is made of these investigations the council will be better prepared to estimate the amount of money neces- sary to raise by bonds to transfer the plant from its present location to the waterworks and to put itin first-class shape. It is probable that the counci) will take action shortly to submit the matier toa vote of the village. The Duties of Pondmaster. The Herald-Review should not be misunderstood from what it said last week relative to the poundmaster. Stray stock roaming about the village, breaking sidewalks, destroy- ing gardens and shade trees and doing other private and public dam- age, should be promptly lock- ed up and the owners made to pay the prescribed fee before the critters are released. ‘his the Herald-Review has always advocated and still advo- cates. The ordinance governing the matter should be strictely enforced. Butthe great objection in the prem- ises is the ccstum of the pondmaster hiring boys to bring stock tu the pound for~ which tney are paid 25 cents per head. ‘The youngsters su employed will not hesitate to go intu a barn or pasture for cattle or horses, or make trips into the country for stock in_ the discharge of their “duties.” ‘There have been several cases reported of buys going half way to Laprairieand driving stuck to the pound. Until this week there was no herd started in the .village and as there are no fenced pastures where stock can be taken the best that owners could dv was to keep their stock out of towu. Any pondmaster who will fee boys for bringing stock to his corral is not a fit person for the position, and if the present occupant of that honorable office continues to doso the council should. promptly give him his time. The ordanance governing this matter should include a clause forbidipg the pondmaster to employ boys to work up business for him, anda violation thereof should be punishable by a fine and impeach- menu. CHAPMAN’S BULLETIN. Supt. of the Expermental Farm Writes on Sorghum and Other Crops For Forage. Press bulletin No 6 issued by H. H, Chapman of the Grand Rapids Expermental farm contains some very inportant pointers this week on sor- ghum and other crops for forage which cannot fail to interest all who are engagted in agriculture in this section. He says: Seed firms advertise many kinds of crops for fodder. or pasture for stock. A few of these have some merit but many are not adopted to this !ocal- ity and would not yield profitable crops. Sorghum, of the early Minnesota type, can be suceessfully grown as far north as Grand Rapids. ‘To insure proper germination of seed and free- dom from weeds it should not be sown till about June 5th to 15th. The ground should previously be prepared by early spring or late fall plowing and frequent harrowing to destroy the weed seed. One bushel of seed per acre is sufficient. When sown earlier or on foul Jand the weeds are apt to smother the yonger planfs, which start slowly. Sorghum is a hot weather plant, and a drought resister. Here where we usually have abundant moisture and less heat, sorghum is not so profitable acrop as corn for the purpose of fodder. ‘The comparative yields on the Ex- periment farm in 1900 were, corn, 6.4 tons, 4.7 tous, depending on variety used, sorghum, 3.8 tons. Kafir corn, Jerusalem corn and Dhousa, are plants similarto sorghum in their adaptability to hot and dry climates. They do not do so well as sorghum in northern Minnesota. In 1900 each yielded less than 2 tons of very im- mature fodder. Itis™. plainly seen by these result that neitber these plants nor sorghum offer a go0d substitute for corn fodder under under our con- ditions. Of. the legumninous plants, those allied to clover and peas, a few are coming into notice as pasture and soil renovating crops. Of these the cow pea and soja bean are very gen- erally advertised. These are both southern plants and it is safe to say that neither will grow a profitable crop this far north. The sand vetch will grow luxuriantly upon poor soils and furnish a large amount of foliage to plow under for green manure or to pasture sheep upon. It grows so close to the ground and is so inter- twinded that it is not feasible to cut it for bay, and this with the cost of the seed will limit, its use. Spurry, much recommended for very poor soils as acrop to turn under for green manure, or as pasture, Las been tried here. It shows weed like tendencies, is difficult to eradicate and its value does not warrant its groth where any other crop will growas well. Rape undoubtedly has a use as_ pasture for sheep or hogs where such supplemen- tary pasture is needed. It should be grown onrich or heavy soil as it re- quires humus:or decayed vegetable matter for best growth. You assume no risk when you buy Chamberlain’s Colic.

There is an evo- lution going on all the time in the manufacture of shoes. The up-to-date shoedealer is alive to this fact; yet many continue to sell the same old ago none but the well-to-do could afford to purchase the glove-fitting shoes—cost too much, Then it was that the purchase of a new pair of shoes was anticipated with dread, because during the “breaking-in” period much discomfort was experienced, and the old pair was given up with reluctance. It was the sacrifice of comfort in the old shoes to style and appear- ance in the new. Today the manofacture of shoes has reached the stage of speciali- zation, the period where a yast fortune is invested in special tools avd machinery for the production of one special design, whieh has been brought to a state of perfection by the employ- ment of the best shoe brains in the country, the whole en- ergy devoted to combining in the highest degree of com- fort with grace style and durability. Thus we have the largest manufacturers of tine shoes in the world pro- ducing the Douglass shoe for men, Queen Quality for wo- men and Albright for misses and children. Men and wo- men who formerly paid from $5 to $6 for their shoes find in the above named lines a thoreughly high grade shoe of unusuai merit at the sen- § sible price of $3.50 for Douglass shoe fur men and $3 for Queen Qualily shoe for women. ‘To pay more is te throw money away. The “middle-class” purchasers who did not feel they could afford to pay 34 or more, ahd therefore have to be contented with a less expensive article, now have the acme of comfort and style within their reach We shall tell you more about our line of shoes from time to time. in our city sells them and what we say of them is exactly so. onn Beekfelt, 922%.
