THE (902 COUNTY FAIR| Now Is the Time to Begin Agitation For State Exhibit. MEETING SHOULD BE CALLED Itasca County Should Be Prepared to Make a Display ot Her Agricultur- al Produets Next Fall That Will Capture the Cromo. In many ways this will bea bannet year for Grand Rapids and Itasca county. With iron, timber and agri+ cultural resources in almost limitless quantities; with a general feeling of confidence and prosperity prevailing in all the ramifications of industury; with manufacturing on the verge of deve:opement, this is the most favor- ed community in the northern part of this wealthy state today. It is not a mushroom boom that has appeared on the surface, but a genuine, per- manent and substantial industrial growth that will rapidly increase the county’s population by many thous- ands, and in form two to five years Grand Rapids will boast of ten thous- and inhabitants. In laying the foun- dation of the future agriculture must not be overlooked. The lands are here by the thousands of acres that hold rich rewards vo yield to industry. All that is necessary is to get the farmers. One of the most effegt- ive means that can possibly be em»l- oyed to this end would be an exhibit of agricultural products at the state fair. Literature should: be provided for liberal distribution at the fair. With proper maragement Itasca county could not possibly make a better investment than in this man- ner. Inorder to successfully carry out such a project, however, prelim- inary preparations should begin abt once. The northern part of the coun- ty should be interested as well as this section. A meeting of the assdciy ” tion should be called without delay and officers elected. The office of president, which was long held “by the late D. W. Doran, is to be filled, and the selection of his successor is au important matter. An active, ener- getic man should be chosen for the position—one who would unselfishly give his time to the work to be done, In the matter of holding a successful county fairaad mvking a creditable state exhibit Grand Rapids is vitally interested. The merchants and bus-. iness men of this village can do much in this direction. In fact, on them depends success or failure and they should take hold of it with energy and liberality. SEEDING HAS BEGAN. The Season’s Work at Northeast Experiment Station Now Under Way. On Wednesday of this week wheat seeding was commenced at the Grand Rapids Agricultural station. Supt. Chapman says the ground is in excel- lent condition and he predicts an un- usually good season for the farmers of northern Minnesota. The soil, he Says, never was more favorable fora vigorous sprouting of the cereals and with anything like favorable weather conditions the harvest should be bountous. About thirty varieties of oats will be put in at the farm for ex- periment purpose, and fiften different kinds of wheat, iacluding Maccrioni wheat and speltz. ‘The latter is a cereal very similarto wheat. It is used for feed, taking the place of chopped grain and it is said to be superior in nutrition and yields iu bushels to the acre about the same as oats, Supt. Chapman will give speltz a fair trial and after harvest the result will be made public. The stition has sold to farmers this spring, about 350 bushels of Ligowo oats for seeding. This is the kind recently described by Mr Chapman in one of his bulletines, It has proved to be the largest and best producer yet) tried at this station, and its general use through this and adjoining coun- ties will demonstrate its superivirty over the ordinary oats. WHAT WILL BE DONE? The Question of a Road to Cohasset Agitat- ing Towa Boardcand Citizens. The necessity of making a first- class wagon road between Grand Rap- ids and Cohasset is recognized by; everyone in both towns. That it must be done is conceded by all’ who are interested, The question js where to build. A meeting of the town board ot Grand Rapids was held Tuesday afternoon. when it was decided to continue the use of the present high- way and fill up with dirt that portion of the road that is now overflown with water from the dam. The length of the overflow is about a third of a mile, and there is no doubt but that it would require the expen- diture ofa great deal of money to make it permanently safe for travel. The board ordered Road Overseer Hut- chinson to begin the work of filling on Thursday, but after a little further investigation it was tempora- tily abandoned. The feasibility of following the present Third street highway west to where the road turns to the county hospital, thence west on the north side of the railroad track uotil the swamp ts passed, thence across the track to the south side, proceeding again. west to Pokegama dam when the track would again be crossed. This might very properly be called the suicide road. Travelers over it would be playing hide and seek with passing trains at all hours of the day and night and occasionally the trains would win a human victim and a horse or two. It is claimed that by the opening of Fourth street an almost direct road could be built aticom parativelygsmall expense and at the same time it would not be neces- sary to cross and _recross the railroad track. Every business man in Grand Rapids is interested in this road and they should take it upon themselves to investigate as to the best route to follow and then present their views to the board and ,yalso to the village council. The matter should not be delayed. CHARGED WITH IRREGULARITIES W. A. Everton, Ex-Village Recorder of Deer River, Is In Trouble. The recently elected council for the village of Deer River, have been making some investigations into the manner in which the affairs of the corporation was conducted by the former officials. As a result a war- rant was issued this week for the “arrest Of fornyer—Recorder W. A. Everton, charging him with embezzle- ment and forgery. He was arraigned on Tuesday in Grand Rapigs before Justice of the Peace Huson, when he waived examination and gave bonds in the sum of $500 on each charge, W. J. Coffron and Fisher Baker be- ing his sureties. He will have a pre- liminary hearing on Wednesday next. The specific charges on which he was ‘arrested allege that the ex-recorder illegally issued two village orders, one in the sum of $75 and one for $100 in favor of F. McGilvary, a civil en- gineer of Duluth, who had made plans for water works in the village of Deer River. The order for $75 was cashed out of village funds and ap- propriated by Everton, it is alleged, while the one hundred dollar order was sent-to the Cass Lake bank, pur- porting to contain McGilvary’s signa- ture on the back making an assiyn- ment of the amount to Everton. This order was discounted and cash- ed by the Cass Lake bank and the money paid to Everton. The prose- cution claims to be in possession of evidence that will show McGilvary’s signature on the order to bea forgery and the $175 purporting to have beeu paid to him to have been a clear case embezzlement. On the other hand Mr. Everton says he will be able to to make an entirely clear and proper showing of the transaction when his hearing is had and that he has no fear of the outcome. ‘The public should not judge two hastily of the merits or demerits of the case until the matter is made pablic_in court. 4 ed A Public Nuisance The habit which prevails in this municipality of raking neat little piles of miscellaneous refuse in back yards of residences and business housse and the setting fire to them, should be prohibited, except in cases where it cannot well be avvided. First, it is dangerous, and second, it’s a public nuisance that the inhabit- ants should vot be expected to toler- ate. As a nuisance it lasts about six weeks of the spring time and keeps the whole village befouled with stifling smoke and nauseating stench that is dangerous to the public health. It is a wonder that more de- structive fires are not originated from this cause. Heaps of smoulder- ing refuse may beseen almost any evening in a dozen quarters of the village with no one on hand to watch them. In many instances they will burn away all night. A suitable dumping ground should be selected hy the village authorities and people should be compelled to have their rubbish carted toit. And it should be borne in mind that along public highways is not a proper place for rubbish tobe piled up. =” Prepare For a next season by purchasing one of those swell shirt waists displayed in our windows New styles, beautiful and serviceable at prices yarying from 65et. to S1.75 Wide cuffs will be in vogue and we have them.
