Grand Radids Ata Great Disadvantage Fol Want of Houses to Rent. : Let a few of us capitalists get tor gether and build some residencé houses for the accommodation of those who would come here to remain if suitable shelter for themselves and families were available. This is made as a motion and the Herald- Review would like to hear several seconds instanter. Houses are need- ed very much and must be bad or Grand Rapids will loose much that she is entitled to. In this matter the merchants of the village are vitally interested. It is a matter of dollars and c2nts to them. The man- agement of the Itasca Paper com- pany is compelled to employ single men because men of families are un- able to find homes in which to live. This is a serious draw back to the town and should be remedied forth- with. The business men of other] communities have found it necessary to combine some their of capital to) erect buildings for the accommoda- tiou of workmen who could find profitable employment, but whu were unable to build for themselves. Cloquet isa notable instance. That town has greatly increased in popula- tion during the past few years, and the growth is largely due to the en- terprise of the {own’s leading citizens in forming a local building associa- tion. The business men of Grand Rapids should give this subject seri- ous consideration. ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE, The Reshus-Remer Land Co. Are Bringing to Itasea County Many Actual Settlers. More real estate transfers have been made in Itasca county during the past year than ever before in its history. In this we mean transfers to actual settlers who came with their families to make this county theirfuture home. The Reishus- Remer Land company’s local business has Leen handled by Mr. Ernest Remer since that company began business here abouta year avo. Mis books will show that he has-by 90 means been idle and they will gisu reveal the fact that he is a realestate man who understands the business. Nearly every day he -may be seen with a party of newcomers who are tere looking tor farming lands, and as his lists contain some of the choic- est in the county; his terms liberal and his knowledge of the business such as enables him to understand just what his client is desirous of securing, he finds little difficulty in Satisfying all. Last week Messrs. A. Ulstrom, J. I. Donohue, attorney, and J. A. McDonald, ex-mayor, all of St. Cloud, were here from Saturday last to Tuesday and bought a large tract of land between Cohasset and Drumbeater lake from Mr. Remer. In this locality these gentlemen al- ready owned over seven hundred acres. A telegram received from them on Wednesday by Mr. Kemer requested him to hold another lot of lands that they desire to purchase. Lewis Opsal of Milaca bought a farm of 80 acres and Nels Lane of the same place bought 120 acres out from Cohasset. They will each come this spring to locate permanently with their families. John Sutt of Hopkinson, Ia., will be here with his family about the inefficient, incompetent and unjust. present tax laws are a mass of contradictions, jamendment added to amendment, SENATOR ‘WCARTHY’S VIEWS. | Says He Is Not Satisfied With the Work Ac- complished by the “Extra” Senasor C. C. McCarthy arrived home dh Wednesday last frum the five weeks’ extra session of the legis- lature at St. Paul. He looken tired and worried and not well pleased with things in general. His law practice had been neglected for the public weal, and of necessity he was loser in dollars to a considerable extent. The senator might have stood for the fin- ancial loss without a complaint if the law makers had accomplished the work for which théy were called to- wether by the govenor. But, in the most part, they failed and refused to do these things, and thereat he was apparently by no means well pleased. The day after his return‘the Herald- Review man found the senator in his office buried in business that had ac- cumulated during his absence. He seemed to bea little reluclant about expressing himself on the work of the legislature, but finally, in reply to some leading interrogatories, he said: “Ieannot say that Iam satisfied with the workaccomplished at the special sessionof the legislature. I went to St. Paul believing that - | the tax code prepared by the tax commission should be enacted into law substantially as prepaired by the commission, and after list- ening to nearly five weeks’ argument from all the interests in the state of Minnesota I came away more firmly convinced then when I went that the tax code should have been en- acted into law. I am disappointed for the willnever have inthe state of Minnesota a general tax revision, nora simple, complete and efficient tax code. We are bound for a good many years to have tax laws that are The until there is not a court in the state that can interpret the law. It has been admitted for many years that our tax laws do not reach a large part of the property of the State escap- ing taxation and for that réason are unequal and unjust. As Isat and listened to the ar- #umenis made up against the tax code. to my mind it was apparent that the only real argument made or conclusion reached was its effectivness and the fact that it would do just what it was expected todo. But it is perhaps egotistical to pretent to criticise for the reason that by the middle of Feb ‘y the whole state was really against the tax code and the legislature in refusing to pass it merely bowed to the will of the people. It cannot be urged « or (laimed that it was simp- iy the li the tax code, While all those interests wee atrayed against it. they were backed by per | haps eighty per cent of the people of the | state, including the great bulic of the farm- ers, the labor organizations, trades unio etc. In fact before the final vote wa it appeard as if the entire state was the code. I think, however. the legislature hus done good work and passed some laws that will be benefical to the people. If the people will adopt the constitutional amend- ments it will certainly provide for the enact- ment of tax laws by the future legisla tures along the lines of progress and equal- ity. The people of the state of Minnesota defeated. the tax code prepared by the com- mission and it is now up to the people to see whetber they will defeat the constitutional amendments provided by the legislature. If they do, then they have no.one to. blame but themselves for bad and inefficient tax laws. I am yet too close to thg struggle and feel too keenly the sting of defeat to make as reason- able a statement as perhups should be made,” WILL TAKE SOME OPTIONS. The Eastern Minnesota Will Do Consider- able Prospecting on Favorable Terms D. M. Gunn is in receipt of a letter from vice-President D. M. Philbin of the Eastern Minnesota railway in which itis stated that if options run- nivg for eigit months, can be obtain- ed on sufficient properties on this end of the range to justify the work, two drills will be put in operation at once. 15th of April to locate on 160 acres in 55-26 which he recently purchased. Danijel Vallick, J. F. Whipps and Emil Schrepei of Sauk Center, were here last week and bought 760 acres between the three. They will sell their farms in Benton county and will move here about the first of May. H. Hanson of Minneapolis will be here April first to locate on his farm in the Splithand district, recently purchased through Mr. Remer. Besides these. recent sales the com- pany has brought in and located eighteen famillies in 44-25, Cass county. The companies owning lands in this vicinity have raised the price recent- ly on their holdings from $1 to $5 per acre. The price will increase with surprising regularity as time goes on. Why Easter is a “Movable” Feast During all of March the sun’ is coming farther north. About the twentieth it shines directly on the equator, and the day is just as long as the night. The time of the old Jew- ish Passover, and hence of our East- er, depends on this date. ‘This latter always comes on the Sunday fullow- ing the first full ‘moon after the sun crosses the line. This accounts for its being so ‘movable’ a feast.— March Ladies’ Home Joprnal. Fresh fruits at Metzger’s. This statement implies that a suf- ficient number of the several owners of the lands desired would be requir- ed toact in harmony in giving the option for the specified time. The proposition appears to meet with considerable favor among those who hold title to the property,and it would seem that concerted action to induce the proposed explorations™ would be advisable at thistime. In the event that paying mines are depeloped the usual royalties will be paid. Cleye- land, Obio, parties have made a simi- lar offer and they agree to putin five drills if satisfactury arrange- ments can be made. Change of Time for Church Services. The Methodist Episcopal and Pres- byterian people, are about changing time of services. Their Sundy school will come before their preaching services, instead of after, as hereto- fore. The hour fixed for Sunday school is a quarter before ten, or 9:45 a.m. The preaching. services at 11 a.m. It seems to be the opinion if children can get round and go today school at 9. a. m, for-tive days in the week, they ought 1 be able to get to Sunday school by 945 a. m. And if the preachers don’t spin out too long, they ought to get around for Sunday dinner before one p.m. Take notice aud govern } yoursel) es accordingly. reoson that Iam not satisfied now that we’ interests that defeated | SSSSSS5 0 == Basia For Spring and Summe Are new and tresh at HUGHES & C0, Suits, Skirts,.
