Grand Rapids is certainly fortunate in being largely made up of an enter- prising, public spirited cl°ss of busi- ness men. Whatever project is ad- vanced that is calculated to add to the beauty of the village, or increase the general prosperity finds a ready and concerted response of citizens who take pride in the upbuilding of the community. It is this united action, prompted by generous motives, that has been the agency which has con- tributed most- largely to making Grand Rapids one of the most beauti- ful villages in northern Minnesota. Much has been done, but much still remains to be done in the in portant matter of increasing still mure the efforts in that direction. The immediate growth, both in population and wealth, of this village is beyond peradventure, and with this growth will come apace greater needs of the public in many ways. The first and most important of these for the preseat is public parks and the inauguration of a system to boule- vard the streets. The initiative in this direction has been taken by H. D. Powers on the street leading to his beautiful new home on the south side. For a distance of about two blocks south of the Mississippi bridge on Leland avenue Mr. Powers will construct the sidewalk at his own’ éx pense. The street is one hundred feet wide which gives ample room. for boulevarding. The walk will, be laid about four feet out from ty, Tot linéS and Shade trees planted én either side of it. The most beautiful cities in the world have been made so by the general adoption of a plan similar to this. Euclid avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, is far- famed forits beauty and rare verdure that streches away for miles on either side, which lends to the avenue a pastoral loveliness that has gained for Cleveland an evitable reputation among the cities of the United States. That this is true is almost wholly attributable to the growing of shade trees on either side of the walks and the personal pride that seems to have prevailed among the controling citizens of the city in the matter of making their homes ideal with nature’s rarest gifts. Where- ever this ambition prevails in any community the desired results are sure to follow, and both from a material and artistic view the invest- ment and care required to develope the plan will in time be repaid a thousand fold. -Ivis no new-experi- ment, by any means. All-villages and cities that are favored as Grand Rapids is with an enterprisjag, pro- gressive, twentieth-century class of citizens are acquiring public parks, and beautifying their streets and private grounds. To this enda move is already well under way to secure parks and to boulevard the streets. A petition addressed to the vouncil, was circulated last week among the citi- zens, and was generally signed asking forthe purchase of a park and the planting of trees along Kindred ave- nue from the Mississippi river to Crystal lake. It is evident that pub- lic sentiment is strongly in favor of such improvements as are suggested in the petition, and now is the time to begin the work. Test Pitting and Drilling. Five drills are at work in 56-25 on property in which H. Watson of Minn- eapolis is interested. ‘There are 1,740 acres owned by the parties interested and much of it is in line with the iron ledge. Wallas &Vivian of Duluth, for Cor- rigan & McKinney, are preparing tu do considerable prospecting in 55-25 on sections 1, 2,3, 4 and 10. This property lies about a mile and one- half from Grand Rapids. S. D. Hamilton and J. S. Lane of Minneapolis hoid a state lease on the set of section 33 in township 55-26, besides other tracts of which they own the fee, They are putting down test pits and the property promises to produce valuable ore according to the showing alread made. One difficulty now being experienc- APRIL ald-Revicw. MINNESOTA aes : HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 5S eS oe - 4 ot sr 12, 1902. Two Dotrars A YEAR. + ed is the inability of mining men to get drills. The manufacturers cannot supply the demand. F. 'T. Moody, collector for the city water works of Minneapolis, and L. A. Lydiard, clerk of the flour city were here the first part of the week investigating the iron ore possibilities on some lands which they own in 60- 24. They are doing some test pitting. Molman’s Thirty Thousand. W. B. Holman, as anvounced in these columns last week, closed the deal whereby he came into the pos- session of $30,000 for his homestead ot forty acres in section 21, 56-24. Captains Jones and Pearce of Duluth who held the option sold a half inter- est in the property to A. M. Miller for $20,000 and offered the balance for $150,000. N. B. Thayer, a Duluth land attorney, claims a one-quarter interest. in-Mr. Holman’s little for- tune and has brought suit in the dis- trict court of St. Louis county to re- cover. Thayer acted as Holman’s attorney when the latter proved up six years ago. Mr Holman says it is a clear case of blackmail on the part of Thayer, ond he does not appear to be worrying over the matter. A Law Suit in Sight. A recent dispatch trom Brainerd says: ‘‘A long-drawn-out law suit may result from the alleged discov- ery by Senator C. B. Buckman and ex-Governor Lind that they have some rich Ore lands in Itasca county, a short distance from the now famous Arcturus mine which was recently sold by St. Cloud men for $750,000. The land is situated not far from Grand Rapids, and years ago, when the county was new, these were own- ersin fee simple of the tract. The attention of the owners drifted away from their interests in Itasca county aad finally the land was placed on the long delinquent tax list. When the taxes became delinquent the list was published in the Brainerd Dispatch, the paper designated at that time, and the title was purchased by L. E. Lum, an attorney, then of Brainerd, but now of Duluth. Ex-Governor Lind was in .the city a few days ago sto~look the matter up, and there ‘seems now to be a techvicality which may result iv the land reverting back to Lind and Buckman. Itasca coun- ty was then a part of Crow Wing county, having been attached for ju- dicial purposes. The county com- missioners in awarding the contract for printing the delinquent tax list are said to have simply passed a mo- tion that the Brainerd Dispatch be awarded the job instead of passing a resolution designating the paper as official.” Register Clair’s Mining Views. A. B. Clair, of Grand Rapids, regis- ter of deeds of Itasca county, was at the St. Louis last evening- Mr. Clair says that while there is no mining hoom on in his town there isa little doing and the people are looking for- ward to something big. ‘The people of Grand Rapids are not mining crazy, although they realize that the finding of ore in maay places near there is going to bea great belp in building up the town. Many residents have properties at the western end of the Mesaba range which have some pos- sibilities. There is a disposition to be fair with those engaged in the mining business, and who are after properties, ard while the people think they have a good thing they are not attempting to bold up men who will invest their money and de- velop the mines. W. RB. Holman’s forty acres, sold for $30,000, which you mentioned in your today’s News Tribune, is about eleven miles from Grand Rapids. Holman gave an op- tion on it April 8, 1901, and the hold- ers are busy closing up the deal. A. M. Miller of this city is interested in securing the mine. He was in Grand Rapids this morning. The Eastern Minnesota railway is losing nu time in securing ore property, not so much for the mining, but it wants the business of hauling the ore and traf- fic agreements make. up a partof their leases.” Mr. Clair said that it might be five years before any ore would be shipped from the western endofthe range. As yet there is no railroad in that territory although the Eastern was figuring on com structing a branch to haodle the business. i Locksley Court Dance The United Order of Forresters, Locksley court. will give their annual ball at Village ball next Tuesday night, A general invitation is ex- tended and a good time assured.
