E. P. CRANE, The caption of this letter tempts one to protest against the uneuphon- eous and senseless names designating jsome of the most beautiful and at- tractive localities of this famous county of northern Minnesota. The genuine Indian uames which have been left, as Pokegama, for example, satisfv a sense of fitness, for Pokeg= ama, “The Spider,” is descriptive and was evidently given by some old chief who had his scalp on; but “‘Splithand’’ is neither topographically descriptive nor in the slightest degiee suggestive of anything appertaining to the lakes or their surroundings. ‘“‘What’s in a name?” Why the power to attract or repel people at the start. Huw wouly a tall, thin, shadowy man like to be called *‘Praise Gud Barebones?” That would, at least, have the merit of being descriptive; but apply that tu a jolly, rubicund, well-tavored man like my friend, whose name rhymes with golf, and how absurdly it strikes us. Isn’t it about time for someone to call a halt in this matter ot christening the beautiful lakes and regions of this fast-growing portion of the state? Let the names at least be true to lvucal conditions, carry pleasant associations and stimulate in some measure the imagination. Much of the charm of early New England and New York state bistory is due to the picturesque and musical bames that survived the-extinetion of the Indians. Whoever christened this beautiful section of Itasca county would most certainly by this time eonclude that the “hand” is healed and fast filling up with a substantial, thrifty class of settlers, for it is a large hand and a generous one, whose broad palm extends a warm welcome to all new comers. And they are coming from Cincinnate. Minneapolis, Cinamon Falls, Milaca and other places of more or less note. Among these recent. settlers (omitting first names) are Baker, Lund, Halverson, Erven, Leibrich, Hanson, Ring, Red- dell and Torry. Nearly all of these have built, this summer, comfortable houses and barns, and have made other tangible improyements, as the new lines of fences, cultivated lots and thrifiy garden spots can bear witness. I was told by those who saw it that the new log house built by Mr. Ring is a model of neat.and tasty workmanship However, one can scarcely help observing that after all things don’t seem well balanced, where there is such evident industry and good taste in the cultivation of the garden and fields, and in the care of fine stock, to see so few gentle women around. This remark doesn’t have reference particularly to the newest settlers, as taany of them have families; but scattered about an ong the seventeen separate households are at least seven old bachelors. What's the matter, boys? Is if fastidiousness, or bashfulness, or is it a scarcity of supply? Surely we are not to have again the program of .those old “Virginia days, so vividly portrayed in “To Have and to Hold’ by Mary Johnson? All these~ new settlers evidently have faith in the future of this part of Minnesota. And ‘why not? They have only to note the tlelds of oats, Wheat, barley, corn and grass now growing in this neighbor- hood, to say nothing of garden vegetables, to convince them that as much goo® fortune can be read in the palm of this gpen hand as any- where else in this north land. One field of oats, planted by an old resi- dent, stands level with the top of the five rail fence, and is as promising a$ any the writer ever saw in the Red River Valley. A farmer passing would certainly stop to admire it and to h it say, ‘good for brawn and brain, and 46 cents a bushel.” Then if anybody tells you, like the ancient king, ‘to go to grass,” this surely is the place they mean, for as the boy, rebuked in school for whistling, said, “LT didn’t, it whistled itself.’ The grass down here grows with a vigor and luxuriance that would gladden the heart of an Iowa farmer, It is safe to predict that in future this whole region will furnish exceptional fucitities for stock rais- ing. Sheep, particularly, if protected by good fences and sheltered at night, might undoubtedly be made very profitable, 1 venture that Superin- tendent Chapman, who is doing so much for the agricultural interests of this county, will indorse this opinion. BREE. Speaking of sheep naturally re- minds one of tne seemingly plentiful: supply of deer roaming these parts. He o state's interest in the School lands. 3'We condemn the failure of thy bourd ef gan, the near, approach to the camp this summer. ‘the laddie and I glided noiselessly in our boat up behind a doe and two not discover us till we were within thirty yards. It was a beautiful sight. and quite characteristic of Big Deer Park lake, (Big Splithand). if one has taste and leisure for, fishing, here are virgin waters, a lake, acces- | sible to the Mississippi river, abound- ing in bass, muscalonga and pike, E am told that no better bunting | ground for ducks, in their season, fean be found within likely reach 0 Grand Rapids than that afforded by Rice lake opening into the southern end of Big Deer Park lake. Between Rig and Little Deer Park lakes is what issknown here as the ‘‘thorcugh- fare,” an outlet of the larger lake. It world be hard to find a more charming boat ride than that afforded by this sinuous stream as it glides in and out over pebbly bottom, along a shore_now skirted by forests of hardwood, now by wide stretches of waving grass, here murmuring in its deep pools under the overhanging banks, or calling to its cool and hospitable eddies the snipe, the blue heron and the brooding ducks. Traversing it more than once ona quiet Sunday morning, en route to ehureh, it recalled the rural pictures which Wordsworth loved to paint, or that gladdened the heart of our own Lonfellow in his pursuit of Evangeline mm the far southern waters. Going to church did I say? Surely. We held three servises on consecutive Sundays onthe shores of Luke Cresent, (Cow Horn lake), gathering an audience of between forty and fifty, counting, of course, the blessed babies. The meetings were held under a rustic bower. Two pleasant features of the first service were the baptism of sweet little baby Leibrich a cousin of Bishop Joyce of the M. E. church, and the organization of a Union Sunday school. Mrs. Albert Fhillips was elected superintendent. The sehool will be beld every Sunday at 2 p. m. under this bower on Cresent lake until the ereetion of a new school house, which the Central school board of Grand Rapids expects soon to build. One might journey far to find a more restful place for an outing, or a more contented, harmonious and neighborly class of people than that which composes the vanguard of this growing settlement. A RARE MUSICAL TREAT. Paloma and Karla Schramm WII be at Vil- lage Hall August 27th. Readers of the Magnet have we doubt read much jn Duluth papers of late concerning the wonderful per- formances en the piano of the two Schramm children, aged nine and twelve years. They are looked upon by the most eminent critics of the world as musical marvels. The chil- dren have traveled all over Europe and everywhere were received with marked attention by famous musici- ans. Paloma and Karla are spend- ing the summer in Duluth with their parents and oceasiopally will give entertainments in neighboring towns. The United Order of Forresters have taken an interest in securing them for an evening in Grand Rapids, and arrangements have been made for their appeafance at Village hall on Wednesday. August 27th.

The child has a deep poetic imagination, as is evident from: her compositions, which reveal the talent of the little girl even wore than her playing does. She has provounced talent, a wignifi- cent ground work, Her pedaling is intelligent.” Leslie’s Weekly: She plays with deep ‘feeling, correct’ phrasing and clear. interpretation, and has an un- studied, Unconscious grace that capt i- ates all hearts.” Evening Post.
