We have consented, under these con- ditions, to allow the structure to re- main where it is. The Itasca Farm Land company has just issued an attractive folder descriptive of Itasca county. A large map of the county occupies a space of 14x30 inches. The reading matter 1s sufficiently exhaustive to give a very good idea of the territory described. Messrs.

Noah Fletcher, of Deer River, was doing business here Monday last. Messrs. Quigg and Fletcher do not intend to rebuild the hotel that was recently destroyed by fire in that village. The report that the fire orig- inated from the aceylene gas plant that was in the building is not true, Mr. Fletcher says, At the time the con- flagation took place there was nota partical of gas i the apparatus and had not been for several hours. ‘The fire started from the kuchen, as was plainly apparent when it was first dis- covered. es NOXIOUS WEEDS, Great Care Should be Exercised in a New ‘ Country. H. H. Chapman, superintendent of the Northeast Experiment farm, Grand Rapids, gives the following valuable information in his bulletiu for this week: The somewhat isolated condition of most farms in a new section does not prevent the introduction of weed seeds, and unless proper precautions are taken, the natural advantages of entire freedom from seeds of weeds which new svil possesses will soon be lost. Such seeds are introduced by buying vats for feed, and baled hay, or by getting seed grain or grass seed that is not perfectly clean. Pigeon grass is usually introduced with clover, timothy and especially millet seed, which it somewhat resembles. Wild mustard is commonly found in outs for feed, and is frequently pres- ent in cheap grades of seed oats. Quack grass is more apt to come in baled hay. Lambs quarter and other weeds find their way in by similar agencies. The propagation of weeds, wheu once given a start, is exceeding- lly rapid. One healthy weed will seed down a patch of many square feet. Two much care cannot be taken to prevent the -introduction of such species where the soil is yet free from them. Any precautions taken at this time are well repaid. Should weeds appear, they may sometimes be ex- terminated. Quack grass, if present only in asmall patch, may be dug out of the suil and the roots burned, “re- peating the process as long as new shoots appear. Wild mustard should be pulled when in flower and destroy- ed. The field where it appears should be gone over every 4or5 days till all the plants have blgssomed and been pulled. Should oue crop of seeds be allowed to ripen and fall on the ground, the seeds, plowed under, will lie dorment in the soil for 10 to 20 year r until they are again brought to the surface. when they will grow. Sucha field cannot be cleaned of mustard till the soil has been stured offen enough to acoomplish this re- sult, and all the plants killed after they have germinated. ‘The import- ance of prompt action can thus be seen. Itis difficult to exterminate pigeon grass and Jambs quarter as the plants have no conspicuous flower as mustard, and a succession of crops of weeds will grew throughout the sea- son, so that some seeds are sure to ripen. The only method is clean cul- tivation and proper ciop. rotations, which prevent the weeds from filling the soil with seed. Corn or potatues kept clean, followed by grain without plowing, and seeded down to grass for two years, gives the weeds very little chance to cbtaina foot hold: while with successive crops of grain they are sure to multiply. After the Butchers. The Duluth papers are after the re- tail butchers of the Zenith city and meatin that city are getting more than a shade the worst of the deal. A retail trust is the cause of the trouble, and thereby the dealers are enabled to exact 5 centsa pound more for choice cuts of beef steak than is paid in the suburban town of Proctor- knott. Itseems that there is alsu a combine in West Superior, but not quite so strong as that in Duluth.

The Duluth papers are vigorous in their protests against the the evident rapacity of the butchers and claim that the extra cost of liy- ing in Duiuth above that of other cities is working a deadly injury to the community. - 18 cents. by THE DRAINAGE FUND. to be called by the governor, probab- ly next February, immediately fullow- ing Washington’s birthday.

The Mississippi Valley Lumberman has the following to offer op the sub- ject-of destroying lumber camps by fire as a means of preventing further spread of the disease. ‘“The spread of smallpox in the logging camps of the northern woods during the winter months of the past two or three years has brought up the question of burn- ing the camp buildings as a precau- tion against the further spread of the disease. Leading physicians of both Minnesota and Wisconson have reeom- mended this method as the only one which in their opinion would prove effective, but in making their recom- mendation they have not thought of the loss it means to loggers. Many of these camps are erected at a con- siderable expense and it would cer- tainly seem as though there would be some other method of destroying any germs that might cause a recurrence of the malady during the coming winter. Houses in town where smallpox occurs are not burned. They are thoroughly disinfected, and if itis possible to disinfect carpets, bedding and upholstered furniture it ae il i certainly ought to be possible to subs mit the bare timbers and rough fur- niture of a logging camp to some treatment that would insurea dis- truction of any germs that may have been left. However, as the run of the disease is more to be dreaded by the loggers and will prove more costly to them than the building of new camps, it is likely they will agree to this method of wiping it out. Kirst however, they would like to have the nec ty for taking such extreme measures proven to their satisfac- tion.” Lecture on Lafayette, Every Frenchman and woman that can understand English should not fail to be present atthe services at Odd Fellows hall, July 4th.

The Aitken Age tells its readers what Representative Noyes thinks about drainage, smallpox and the ex- tra session. The Age says: ‘In con- versation with Representative Noyes recently, we learned that of the $50,000 appropriated by the legislature for draining state lands, it was in- tended that at least 820,000 should be expended in the counties of Cass, Itasca and Aitkin. We hope that our people will be watchful in this matter and see that the county gets its full share. Six or eight thousand dollars is not a great sum but if properly ap- plied will reclaim several thousand acres of land, and besides, this is but a small portion of the amount the state will expend in this way, should results be satisfactory. The greatest need of our county is the draining and absolute protection from overflow of the thousands of acses of fertile land along the river, which are now prac- tically worthless, but if put under cultivation would add inestimable wealth to the county. Mr. Noyes also informed us that an appropriation was made to re-imburse counties which had expended money in pre- venting the spread of smallpox, and if Aitkin county had not filed 1ts claim it should be sent in atonce. No doubt our county auditur has attended to this matter. Mr. Noyes says th at an at a price within their means. BSS BBC Bs Bs ER Ce For Women. 2 SOLD EXCLUSIVELY BY c. A. MARR.

There is an evo- lution going on all the time in the manufacture of shes. The up-to-date shoedealer is alive to this fact; yet many continue to sell the same old style shues they did yearsayo —clumsy, ill-fitting, hard on the feet. Only a few years 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 “Dbreaking-in” period much discomfort was experienced, and the old pair was given up with reluctance.+ [t was the sacrifice of comfort in the old shoes to style and appear- ance in the new. Today the manufacture of shoes has reached the stage of speciali- zation, the period where a yast fortune is invested in special tools and machinery for the production of one special design, whieh has been brought to a state of perfection by the employ- ment of the best shogbrains 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 large manufacturers of fine 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 86 for their shoes find in the above named lines a thoroughly bigh grade shoe of unusuai merit at the sen- sible price of $3.50 for Douglass shoe for men and $3 for Queen Qualily shoe for women. To pay more is to throw money away.
