The excellent program prepared by the Firemen was fully carried out in every detail. A large number of people from neighboring towns were present to enjoy the occasion. \ The parade at 10 o'clock, headed by the Grand Rapids Cornet Band, was a good one, \ SATISFACTORY RACES ty L. Lyons’ sorel mare wins the running race with Briggs’ buckskin a good second. Blood Third The pony race was well run and V. H. Blood’s grey was a winner F. Mc- Kenzy second. The trotting race was a tame affair and was won by L. Whalen; Chas. Seelye finished second. All the other events of the day were hotly contested and there were some exciting finishes. Grand Display Fireworks The fireworks display was very beautiful and attracted much admiration from spectators, The dance given by the Firemen in the Odd Fellows’ hall was «well patronized ; and entirely successful. Few accidents occured to mar the day’s pro- ceedings and the weather in the after. nocn was very favorable. day in charge well pleased with the re- sult obtained, 3 authorizing such live trees to be cut | The Grand Rapids Firemen who had the DEAD AND DOWN PROBLEM. The Duluth News Tribune of Wednesday | Had the Following. The cutting of timber on the In- dian reseryation of Minnesota has for urs been a source of no end of trou- nd controversy. ‘This will con- tinue until the forests are denuded and the Indians lose their birth-right unless some vigorous practical policy shorn of maddin sentiment that may be injected into it by seltish in- terest, is adopted and strictly adher- ed to. The great pine forests that a misguided government is endeavoring to preserve fur the Indians are rapid- ly disappearing, and is yielding pra- ctically no returns to the owners. Year after year authority is given| to “dead and down” timber, and each year new deadand down timber is ready for the woodman’s axe. After every seasvn’s cutting, lumbermen who fail to get into the preserves complainthat live trees as well as dead ones zre cut, and investigations and senseless scandals are the result. Every practical lumberman kuows well that itis not possible to take dead and down timber only, and that in order to get itout more or less live limber must go with«it. This is a fact which the Wasbington officials do not seem to be “able to learn. So they go on season after son order- ing dead aud down logging, and after the work is done listen the harp | complaints of disapointed lumber- men and as w.ring olfice seekers. When the ever recueing subject was up for consideration last fall Capt Mercer, Indian agent at Leech Lake plainly informed the secretary of the interior that to cut the dead and down without taking more less of other trees was impossibl, and declared that when a certain percentage of a 40- acre tract was found *‘dead and down” that allof the timber in that par- ticular forty should be cut. He also pointed cut that to take only such trees as cdme within the classificat- ion, would leave the other to furnish fuel for the fires that will be kindled by the slashings as svonas the dry | stason setsin, The department turn- ed down Captain Mercer’s sensible recommendation and adopted a rule ox as might be needed by the lumber- men for boom sticks and wheg nec- essary to remove then in “puilding roads. This unsatisfactory plan-Cap. Mercer has endeavored to carry out to the letter and in putting it in to {now clear and mnging, | has observed the spiritof it more |closely than was deemed possible by veteran loggers. Now the newspapers in the Twin Cit- ies are filled with stories of the abuse of dead and down and as usual the Indian agent is the target of all kinds of abuse. Fortunately Cap. Mercer is well able to take eare of himself in this and all similar controversies. He has proven himself to be throughly competent in | badling the Indians and has not only conducted there affairs ina business like way, but has gained the esteem and confidence of his ward. His hon- esty has never been questioned, and the resul the has been able to attain are shown in improved con- dition of the Indian themselves. If the government would follow the advise of Capt. Mercer, which would be offered from the standpoint of one who by years of head experience kuows what is needed to place the timber interest of the Indians ona sound business footing, disgraceful scandals attending logging operation on the Indian reservations would be heard of nomore. He accomplished this result on the Red Rock reserva- tion in Wisconsin and could do the same on the Chippewa reservation. logging Library Board Entertainment, The Library board have succeeded in getting Mr. Reidelsberger to come to Grand Rapids to give one of his grand entertainments = July ax: ‘Tickets will be sold at socents,and 25 cents ‘will be charged for children un- der twelve years of age. “From a purely musical standpoint Mr. Reidels- berger was the most interesting of the artists. There have been artists who played with greater virility, great- er-dramatic style, but none have been gifted with a more refined subtlety nor a personality which finds expres- sion through the strings of ‘us instru- ment, His tone is delicious; it dis- plays temperament, and sings like a bird; now soft as the famtest. whisper, never bold. The Hungarian Dances were classic- ally sprightly, hghtsome and delicate. ‘The Godard »Andate called for a dramatic reading, and was well met. The Song of the Nightingale, ex- quisite lyric as It 1s, was poetical un- derstanding. The player's bow drew out the rippling notes ,and the night- sweetly to the ingale sang fancifully, opperation during the last winter audience’”’—Minneapolis Progress.
