LANDS. Special Agents Are Assigned to The Duluth strict py The Department. A.D. Thorp is tue head of a party | of special agents of the Unite da States ; fand depirtinent awl surveying crew | assigned to the Duluth district te in- spect swamp jands. The action is taken after many years of urging up- on the the partof the state's repre- sentatives to have the sinterior Ce- partment complete the survey and patent the swamp lands granted to Uhe state, In 1861 congress enacted a law giv- ing the state all the swamp lands within its ‘borders, and it in turn give Lhousands of acres of them to the railroads. Nearly everything that bore the least resemblance to swamp lands. and a great deal that Gid not, bas been selected by the state or roads, principally the latter, and is exempt from settlement. For- tunately, however, the interior de. partment holds that where itis shown tbat less than half a quarter section is swamp land, it is not included in the swamp land grant and is open for homesteads. Land department officials assert that Unousands of acres of valuable land, high and dry, have been selected by the railroads, and the land office is flooded with ca Lh around where settlers Jocated on claims of that character, trying to prove that it should not come under the swamp act. It is sel- dom that they lose a case either, al- though the railroads, principally the Tron Range in this district, fight the contests as intervening claimant, where the state has disposed of its jnterest to them. There are of course still thousands of acres iu which the state retains its interest, which some years ago were set aside for the schools. It is these that the state officia wish to get clehred up and patented, ‘There are about 3,500 tracts select ed by the state not yet adjusted and it is ty examine these that the spec- jal agents bave been ‘ordered to Du- juth. What they tind is really swamp will be patented to the state and the balance will be thrown open to home- steaders. "The wark will take seyeral THE CO) ACT LET. New Bridge Across The Mississippi River at Foot of Leland Avenue. The joint committee appointed by the county commissioners, the village o Grand) Rapids and township of | Grand Rapids to negotiate for the ! construction of a new bridge over the Mississippt river at the foot of Leland avenue, awarded the contract to L, Lindaner on ‘Tuesday last for the sum of $5.975. The committee consisted of Chairman Brooks of the board of county commissioners, Village Presi- dent D. M. Gunn, and Chairman Anthony McAlpine of the town board ‘The entire structure will be of steel, one hundred teet long and elevated ten feet higher than the present struct- ure. As the steel cannot be turned out in less than three months it 1s probable that the bridge will not be ready for use until next E SDHBE, A KICK, AITKIN IL Will Endeavor To Have Dam at Brainerd Removed. A dispatch from Bramerd says that C. S. Kahtant of Aitkin, has been in that city in the interest of the cit- izens of town, and the matter will be of general interest to the people of Brainerd. 1t seems that since the matter of making some improvements atthe dam wear the electric hght works of Brainerd has been talked of Aitkin people have been doing some missionary work to try to prevent fur- ther improvements, it being thought that the dam ds the cause of the annu- al floods which occur in the vicinity of Aitkin. Mr. Kathan stated this afternoon that it was enly the inten- tion of the people of Aitkin te prevent further improvements there, but an effort will be made to have the dam removed enurely. Cutting Down The Hill. Through the enterprise of a few public spirited citizens the sand hillon the Pokegema road will disappear. J. P.

Minnesota State Board of Health Requires | That Virus Be Injected. | The following is a copy of a circu- lar letter issued to all health officers of the state and signed by Dr. H. M. Bracken, secretary of the state board of health. We reproduce it for «the generat public’s consideration at the request of Health Otticer Dr. Russel, of Grand Rapids: In view of the fact that smallpox is now epidemic and has been epidemic in the state of Minnesota since 1899, therefore be it resolved, that the school boards, school directors and boards of health in the various dis- tricts, insist upon it that all children and teachers in the state of Minneso- ta, public, private or parochial, must show a certificate of successfel vaccination since January 1, 1896, or, in lieu thereof, a certifleate froma responsible physician to “the effect that the party is immune to vaccina- tion. Such certifleate must be pre- sented to the proper authorities on or before October 15, 1901. That all lumbermen, mining superintendents, or others employing many men, women or children, require a certift- cate of successful vaccination since January 1, 1896, or, in lieu thereof, a certificate from a responsible »hysi- cian to the effect that the party is immune to vaccinnation, as a condi- tion of continuiag such employes in service. The Koochiching School. Tee school trustees are having a hard time in securing a teacher at Kovochiching says the Border Budget. Not but suitable material is avail- able, but their first selection was un- able to come owing to a previous engagement, and now the second choice fails to show up as. an- ticipated although a week has elapsed since he was first expected. Prub- ably no one feels any more provoked over the outcome of these attempts than does the board itself. but owing to the slow means of communication with the outside world the final ad- justment of matters is slow. In the meantime school mrst await the teacher who will doubtless be secured immediately, WILL CROSS RESERVATION. Iron Range Electric Telephone Company Has Acquired the Privilege. A dispatch to the News-Tribune from Cass Lake says: “A. B. president of the Iron Range Electric ‘Telephone Co., spent today in Cass Lake. Mr. Kerlin states that his company has secured the privilege of erecting poles and operating a tele- phone on the Indian reservation, and that the work of putting in the poles and stringing the wires from Farris, at the westerly edge of the reservation four miles from Cass Lake, to Cloquet will be commenced at once. ‘lhe line is practically completed from Farris west and from Bemidji south to Akeley, where it connects with the old original “Park Rapids” line, built three years ago by Mr. Kerlin, he be- ing the pioneer telephone builder of Northern Minnesota. The line to the east from Cass Lake will connect} at Cloquet with the Duluth line, giving | # connections with the Zenith City and the iron range. It is expected that tha local exchange wili be ia operation within the next 60 days.” A Prond Fisherman. Charles J. Berryhill, of St. Paul, editor, lawyer, philosopher, politician and general genius, visited Grand Rapids a faw days ago on legal busi- ness and incidentally undertook to prove that the Herald-Review editor is subject to block bass romancing. And so it happened that Brother Berrylull challenged us to produce the fish. He has been an anglen for these many, many years and can “cast” into the ru hes with a skill that is only acquired by the veteran. Equipped with the most moderu_par- aphernalia for block bass the good brother accompanied by .the Herald- Review editor to Dave Cochran’s Waubana lake resort. He fished one Kerlin, | day. with Billy McLaughlin at the oars,and only landed 251 of the choicest block fellows that were ever pulled out of the water.
