ALL THINGS SEEM FAVORABLE For Itasca County to Make an Exhibit at the State Fair in September Tnat Wiil Do the Uounty Incaleulable Benefit. As will be noticed by a call pub- lished in this issue of the Herald- Review a meeting of the executive committee of the Itasca County Agri- cultural Association will be held at Village ball at 4 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon next, July 22. This meet- ing will be a most important one as the matter of making a state exhibit will be considered and decided upon. All persons interested, as well as the members of the executive committee and officers, are urged to be present. It should be borne in mind that a preparations for county exhibit should soon begin; suitable space on the grounds must be procured; ways and means must be provided; correspondence with farmers and others throughout the county should soon begin and many matters of importance should now to sreceive the attention of the officers. Secretary Clair is anxious to know the desires of the association so that he may stuart the work that is before him if it be decided to make a state exhibit. One of the very im- portant things to be done is the preparation and printing of suitable advertising matter setting forth with pen and picture the many advantages of the county and its towns and villages. Sufficient time should be had to do this work in a proper manner. It is to be hoped that the citizens of Grand Rapids, Deer River, Cohasset and the farmers from every section of the county will take the interest in this matter that it de- serves and show their interest by at- tending the meeting and expressing” their views. Another matter that will come up for cqnsideration will be the fixing of the date for the county fair. In the meantime give these matters some thought and come to the meeting with ideas to express. ANDREWS’ CRANK IDEA Considerable Opposition to Forestry Re- & serves in Northern Minnesota - The people of northern Minnesota are progressive. They are here to subdue the forests where the forests occupy valuable agricultural lands, and they are quite generally opposed to the reservation of a few counties for the perpetuation of a wilderness that should be superseded by rich farmsteads. The Duluth Herald sets forth the following on the subject of the state fire warden’s latest efforts: “The reasons advanced by Gen. ©. OC. Andrews, state fire warden, fur recommending the creation of a forest reserve covering a considerable section of Lake and Cook counties are so weak and flimsy, being unsupported by any.proof whatever, that it is, sur- prising that the commissioner of the general land office should have taken action thereon without making a pre- liminary investigation. As the Herald has pointed out heretofore, Gen. Andrews is a ‘crank’ on thé sub- ject of ‘forest reserves,’ and ‘fish and game preserves,’ and if he had his way the whole of the unsettled portion of northern Minnesota would be set apart by the land department and locked up forever from settlement and development. In the present in- stance, he seems to have abused his position as chief fire warden. having totally ignored his superior officer, the state auditor. His letter to Land Commissioner Hermann was for- warded without the approval of State Auditor Dunn, without even the slightest intimation to the latter, and Mr. Dunn was naturally very much surprised when the order from Washington withdrawing the lands in question from entry was made public. It may be true that these lands are not tit for agriculture, but it 1s generally believed that they con- tain mineral. Their conversion into a forest reserve would prevent their development as mineral land. Mr. Hermann appears tu have concluded that he acted hastily in acceding to Gen. Andrews’ request, and it is pos- sible that the order of withdrawal from entry may be rescinded,” , Ete. “© | STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE Meeting Held in St. Paul Wednesday Does Not Choose Chairman. The Democratic state central com~ mittee met at the Merchauts Hotel in St. Paul on Wednesday for the purpose of organization, but referred the selection of a chairman to the committee which was chosen at the meeting. Bert Fessler, of Duluth, was offered the position, but declined to serve, as he said it would be im- possible for him to devote the time necessary to the work. R.T. O’Con nor, of St. Paul, made it known that he would not accept the chairmanship and it seemed to be the opinion that, although O'Conner was a valuabie man and should be closely identified with the management of the cam- paign, he coulddo moreeffective work if he did not appear prominently in the contest. O'Conner is relied upon to carry Ramsey county fur the Dem- ocratic ticket, and and to give valu- able advice as tothe method to be pursued in conducting the campaign in the larger cities of the state. W. H. Harries, of Caledonia, was chosen vice chairman, and B. J. Mosier, of Stillwater, treasurer. Humphery Barton, of St. Paul, was temporary chairman, and presided at ‘the meet- ing; but he will not be the choice of the committee for permanent, chair- man, because of his identitication with fractional politics in Ramsey county. Some man from the country, free from fractional influeuces will likely be chosen chairman. The elec- tion of secretary was laid over until next meeting, and there was no dis- cussion of a drector of the press bureau. The executive committee, composed of one member from each congfessional district is as follows: Joseph Leicht, Winona; Dr. J. R. Conway, Worthington; R. H. McClen- nan, Glencoe; Otto Bremer, St. Paul; Elijah Barton, Minneapolis; Charles H. Dart, Litchfield; J. M. Freeman, Olivia; Bert Fessler, Duluth; J. E. Carpenter, Crookston. Chiropodist and Manicure. Prof. D. Denny has been in the village during the week, stopping at the Pokegama. The professor is a thirty years experience and during the short time he has been here has had many calls. He extracts corns, bunions, warts, ingrowing nails and moles in the most modern and im- proved manner known to the pro- fession. His work here has given ex- cellent satisfaction and anyone troubled with corns, etc., should go to Dr. Denny for relief. His work is entirely painless. The doctur likes this climate and intends to make this section his permanent home. He isa regulur physician but has not yet de- cided whether he will engage in the practice of his profession or not, as he says it sometimes interferes with his desire to fish and hunt. Wants Fire Wordens. Gen. C. C, Andrews, state fire warden, was in Grand Rapids Sat- urday and Sunday on his way home from a visit to tha Chippewa reser- vations that are to be opened by the Morris bill. Mr. Andrews stated that on a rough estimate these reservations contain $7,000,- 000 worth of pine. ‘‘Itasca county,” he said, ‘borders the reservation for seventy-five miles. The pres- ent rank vegetation will make it dangerous for fires should the au- tum be dry. There are quite a number of settlers in Itasca county bordering said reservation, and it is very possible that a fire starting in this neighborhood, would spread into the pine on the reservations, besides doing great damage to the stated that he could not be held re- sponsible for these fires, and thnt he thinks it strange that 10 a county of such splendid resources public sentiment could not be brought to bear npon the authorities in the matter. ‘The county commission- ers” said the general, ‘‘are required by law to pay the local fire war- dens, whe are town supervisors in organized towns and in unorgan- ized towns are appointed by tke fre warden, but as your commissioners refuse to do this, it is impossible to get fire warden service in Itasca county. : E. N. Remer, of the Reishus-Remer Land company, went to St. Paul Wednesday. Mr, Remer’s company will shortly issue a twenty-page folder descriptive of the Chippewa Indian reservation, soon to be thrown open to settlement. A description of Grand Rapids and Itasca county, together | with brief information relative to the regources of this section are also con- tained in its pages. ~~" > chiropodist and manicure of over) § i i h i SEE Ee Ne eae at ae eae ate eae eats BPN ge eae ae * & settlers.” Mr. Andrews further Se eee eee ee ee a a 4 GRAND RAPIDS SESE ESE ae ae a Ee ae ea ae ae a ae Rea ME ae ae ae RE a a gts ee v . aa Is a slang expression, meaning “up to the limit,” another slang phrase whose meaning is much the same as “the real thing.” This definition may not be pre- cisely luminous.

If so consult the book on Slang, now in preparation by a Columbian professor, or better still use Chase & Sanborn’s Seal Brand Coffee and you will know at once the meaning of “the real thing.” The real thing in coffee is the kind that produces a deep port wine color before cream and a rich golden after cream—only real coffee will do this. © Chase & Sanborn’s high grade coffees which are delivered to you in richly colored parchment lined bags are the best that money can buy.
