The session was held on ‘Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. ‘The usual business that is transacted at the first meeting of the board. A. D. Brooks was re-elected chairman, he having given universal satisfaction in that office during the past year, Dr. Thomas. Russell was re-appointed county physician ata salary of 50 per month and Dr. Gilbert was ap- pointed county health officer under the new law, ata salary of $50 per month The salary of the county su- ; perintendent of schools, was increased from $400 to $500 per year. On Wed- nesday the matter of lettiug the print- ing of the delinquent tax list and disignating the official paper was taken up. The Herald-Review, the Magnet and the Deer River News were each represented by a bid for the work. The Herald—Review being the lowest bidder was awarded the print- ing of the tax list and both the Herald Review and the Magnet were desig- nated as the papers ip which the pro- ceedings of the county board should be published—each paper to receive one half the amonnt usually allowed for that class of work. Capt James Wurchie was appointed as a or for the unorganized territory. The usual amount of bills were presented and as usual those that were clearly amounts due from the county were allowed, while the doubtful ones were laid over for future consideration> The board starts in with arecord ofa good year’s work to their credit, well organized committees, everything working harmoniously and the out- look is good for a successful years] work for them. A Bum Outfit. Under the management of Mr. Fields, the local manager of the _ tele- phone system, after its completion and up until a few weeks ago, when that gentleman was transfered to Hibbing, our citizens were given first class ser-' only words of praise for the serv rendered. But alas what.a chan Acheap guy, who probably never had anything better than a job on the farm ora position as chambermaid in a livery stable, until the position of manager of the Grand Rapids Tele- phone system was tendered him at the magnificent salary of $45 per month and board himself, has been se- cwel and under his blundering mis- management the system is rapidly de- teriating and if the owners of the sys- tem wish to retain the liberal patron- age that has been extended them thus far, by our citizens, they will call off their “manager” and set him to digg- ing post holes, Hereaiter when you have business to transact with the Herald-Review please call at the office. We are not a patron of the telephone system under its present management. A Good Example. Brave England. The commonly story that England was our only friend during the Spanish war and by herdetermined attitude prevented a coalition of the European powers in favor of Spain, has received a rude shock by the statement of M.. Han- atux who was then the French imin- ister of Foreign affairs, he says that the Emperor of Austria made the first move towards the cvalition and that France answered that if all the other powers agreed to intervene she would not stand aloof.. England made practically the same answer and the proposition went on swimmingly until Russia was reached, who flately refused to have anything to do with it whereat the Whole business collaps- ed. Itis now in order for England to raise and explain, if she 1s going to continue to play the only true friend vale. It somewhat reminds us of the old miser who tock a poor orphan boy to bring up honorably. During the forenoon the old stiff would sneak about the free lunch saloons and steal a bit of cheese and a few crack- ers for the boy’s dinner, ut evening vice and all the patrons of the line had “3 “The Minnesota Park. | The business men of Cass Lake and Walker have recently passed re- olutions condemning a_ bill incon- ress calle] the Chippewa reserva- ion park bill, and urging active op- sition to its passage. Thisaction is well timed and will undoubtedly “succeed in this object, it indeedit was even necessvry. For the attitude of at least four of the Minnesota dele- gation toward such a project is known to be unfavorable, and it is hardly possible that congress will pass any bill dealing with Minnesota matters in the face of active opposi- tion of a part of Minnesota’s delega- tion. Have the people of Cass Lake and Walker read the situation aright, and are they directing their energies along the lines best calculated to ac- complish their objects? It is far easier to kill a bill in congress than to pass one. The situation does not demand the blocking >f legislation— itdemands action. The active op- osition of a minority of Minnesota ngressmen might be just as effect- ive in killing a bill which is in the in- seas of Cass Lake and Walker, as ainst them. And such a result would mean another period of stag- uation whose effects you can well forsee. What Cass Lake and Walker needs is to actively support a_ bill that hasa chance of enlisting the sympathies of the entire Minnesota gation, and get it passed this sion. And this is within her wer todo. Congressmen are not ually beyond the influence of cool logic facts. Your representative, r. Morris, has introduced another il, as an amendment of the Nelson aw, which provides for the sale of timber on the basis of actual ile, and does away with the evils dead and down logging. The fovision for opening the agricultur- al land is left intact. Which, in the igiaal law passed into the lumber- en’s hands, is retained, to be rown open later tor settlement ith the rest.. Mr. Morris has signi- his willingness to accept any sonable amendments. ‘The bill needs two amendments, ithout which it would not only be to work great injury ultimately to Cass Lake and Walker, but would Obably not be accepted by a imority of the Minnesota delega- during this session of congress. Some provision should be le to preserve a small tract of Walker people wish island to be stripved by lumberm -n? Yet there is no alternative should the bill pass in its present form. could hardly be fixed up later The simplest way to secure this is by the insertion of a clause provid- ing a lump appropriation for the purchase outright from the Indians of thisand other small groups of pine, possibly one on Leech Lake, to be preserved for park purposes. Cass Lake and Walker have the right to ask that this be done. But the next amendment is the more important. The pine will be cut—but the title to the pine land should not pass out of the hands of the government. Now, before this suggestion is rejected under the im- pression that the more settlers that can be located in the vicinity, the better, 1t should be caretully thought over. On no one point does the per- manent prosperity of Cass Lake and Walker so much depend as on this. Of the 611,000 acres of reservation lands 511,000 approximately are classed as agricultural lands, and would be thrown open to settlement with the excey tion of such lands as the Indians own as_ allotments. About 100,000 acres are «classed as pine lands. Of the character of the land about you it is not necessary to speak in detail. There is probably little if any land except some ty; es of swarop not abundantly represent- ed that is absolutely unfit for agri- culture. But the land best fitted for settlers, is first, that most easily cleared. and secondly, that_contain- ing hardwood—more difficult to clear, but of more* lasting fertility. Both of these classes of land will be found largely on the agricultural forties. The difficulty of removing pine stumps, especially white pine, 1s much greater than tor hardwoods as they do not rot, and Norway soil is usually sandy, Thus the pine forties would be the least desirable for settlement, of the lands on the reser- vation. Settlersin wooded or in originally wooded reigons need every help posssible in the hard battle to subdue and clear up their farms.

Old world privilege and restriction reign supreme in Spain, where there is a law that no subject shall touch the person of the king or queen, says the New York Mail and Express. The present king of Spain nearly suffered a severe fall from this rule in his childhood. An-aunt of his made him @ present of a swing. When he used it for the first time the motion fright- ened him, and he began to ery. Where- upon a lackey lifted him quickly out of it and so, no doubt, preserved him frony falling. The bieach of etiquette, however, was fia- grant and dreadful. The queen was obliged to punish it by @ismissing the man,from his post. At the same time she showed her real feelings on the subject by appointing him immediately to another and bet- ter piace in the royal household. Im another case a queen of Spain nearly lost her life in a dreadful way owing to this peculiar rule. She had been thrown when out riding, and, her foot catching in the stirrup, she was dragged. Her escort would not risk interference, and she would have been dashed to pieces but for the heroic in- terposition of a young man who stopped the horse and released her from her dangerous position. As soon as they saw she was safe her escort turned to arrest the traitor who dared to touch the queen's foot, but he wae not to be seen. Knowing well the penalty he hed incurred, he made off at once, fled for his life and did not stop until he had crossed the frontier. ‘Who can think Wanted—Bn Idea goesen: Broters your Mens ther may BAGS Peale neve, Washington, D. ize ofles | ANGDAECH'ING Tied Jot Wal WILL HUNT FOR THE POLE.
