MYRTLE VINTON, Is Coming. Watch for Dates. Proprietor. ~~) Granp Rapips, Irasca County, | BUILD TO j DIAMOND’ MINE. | Great Northern Road to Tap West End of Mesaba Range. The Great Northsrn road has awarded a contract to Porter Bros.. of Duluth, to build the proposed ex- tension of that line from Nashwauk to the Diamond mine on the western Mesaba, said the Duluth News ‘Tri- bune of Wednesday morning. Sur- veyors have been in the field select- ing a route for the extension and the work will be done this season. The line will open up a territory in which considerable iron ore has been dis- covered during the past two years. Much of the ore in that district will bein immediate demand and there are other depusits that will come into the market later. The Diamond mine is owned in fee by the United States Steel corporation. It was purchased by the Oliver Iron Mining cumpany several years ago, before the steel corporation was formed. Itisa low yrade ore and regarded by the company as a reserve supply. The Arcturus wine will not be far from the extension. The Great Northern controls much ore in the district to be opened by the railroad. A new town is to be built on the west shore of Snowball lake, on the line of the ex- tension. It is expected that the Great Nortuern will ultimately ex- leud the western . Mesaba line to Grand Rapids and makeit amain hoe fur passcuger trains bebween Duluth and the Ked River valley, running them that way on account of the im- portance of the lucal business. This would cut out the stations on the preseut line between Stony Brook and Grand Rapids, but they have little local passenger business as compared with the western Mesaba. BASE BALL TOMORROW. West Duluth vs. Grand Rapids Promises to Be an Interesting and Exciting Game. The enterprise of the Grand Rapids base ball team should be appreciated and encouraged by the people of the village. ‘They have arranged a game fur tomorrow which will certainly be interesting no matter what the re- sult. West Duluth boasts the best amature team in thiscorner of Min- nesota, und if our boys are successful in carrying off the laurels we may look for an active season on the dia. mond of Grand Rapids. The expense that the boys have assumed will be about $60. The only means they have of raising this amount—outside of their own pockets—is by selling tickets at 25 cents per to those who will vol- untarily buy. ‘‘Don’t be a piker.” Take 1, 2, 3, 4. 5, 6, 7. 8, 9, oreven 10 tickets. It will help a heap and the buyer will never miss the money. The game will be called at 3 o’clock in theafternoon. COUNTY FAIR FOR 1903, Let Interest In Our Next Fair Be Far Greater Than Ever Before. Now is the time to begin to make preparations for the county fair. Farmers, officers of the association and in fact all classes of citizens should feel the responsibility that rests upon each individual to make our county fair the success which it should be. Last year's fair was no doubt the most successful ever held in this county. It is to be expected, of course, as the years go on each suc- cessive exhibition will excell the last. The association has an excellent set of officers who devote a good deal of time and labor to bring about the splendid results which were attained both at the cuunty fair and at the state exhibit. Now thatnew grounds will be in readiness for the next fair with a good track and suitable build- ings the people should take a far greater interest in thisimportant mat ter than ever before. A call is pub- lished in this issue of the Herald- Reyiew for a meeting of the members of the association to be held at village hall on Thursday afternoon nextat 3 o'clock. This meeting should be well attended. John S. Leary, Stand Up! In the name of suckerhead soup, what do you mean, sir? Do you mean to steal the glory of our far-famed Pokegama, kidnap her precious musk- ies and defile them in the foul waters of your “Ouff” lake? Stand up and answer the Herald-Review! An ex- planation of this outburst of indigna- is perhaps in order. About two ks ago James McLevd, an old ident of this section; who some es ago lost both feet and legs just elow the knees by freezing, brougut Metzger’s market a_ forty-two pound muskallonge. It was shipped 0 our former townsman J, S. Leary, /now superintendent of the electric Hight and water works at Fosston. “A few davs later a long tish story ap- “peared in the Duluth and Minneapo- ‘lis papers telling of the wonderful pmuskie that hed been caught in Ouff Jake near that village. It weighed forty-two pounds, Leary was one of pa party of four who made the catch. The story as told in the city papers ‘wus almost romantic if not pathetic. The factof the matter is, that much dvertised muskallonge, caught in ‘the foul waters of “Ouff,” was first Captured by one lone and legless fish- erman in Pokegama lake, which ‘stretches away for miles at the front door of Grand Rapids. Forty-two pound muskies are so common _here- abouts that even the local press does not consider them of sufficient im- portance to mention. One of the real- ly amusing features.of the Fosston fish story was the following relating to the landing of the monster at ‘‘Ouff:” “Give us a lift, yelled Campbell, as he grabbed the line, and all in the boat took hold and pulled with all their might.” Then it relates how the party was unable tomake the land- ing, and finally rowed to shore where the line was half:hitched around the limb of a tree, and then it required the combined strength of four men to bring the monster in. Compare the difference, if you please, between Grand Rapids and Fosston, One leg- less man of this town landed that fish alone when it was alive and well, and his feat as a fisherman remained unheralded to the world. Fosston’s four became famous. because they were able to throw the deceased mus- kie into “Ouff” andagain land him. J. 8. Leary, you have lost cast in Grand Rapids and especially at Po- kegama lake. You way be seated, sir! Trout Fishing the Rage Nothing can be said of bass fishing at this writing for the very good reason that the season’ will not o) fj Otlicially until the first of June. Bat t trout! One should see the strings thateare being brought 1n from“Lit Trout lake to appreciate the abun- dance .of the beauties jthat abound | j there. Big Trout lake has not been || visited this season by “any of the townspeople for the reason that the entrance from Waubana is blocked with W. J. Dwyer’s logs. The tish fever is becoming strong with the angler, however, and already pilgrim- ages are heing’ made to that’ popular resort on beautiful Waubana presid- éd over by that prince of hosts, Dave Cochran. He has a seventeen-room frame house—or rather hotel—which i is newly furnished throughout, and hi is kept ‘in a ‘tirst-class manner in every particular. The house is a large one for a summer resort located | jf sixteen miles from town, but the Herald-Review. will venture to pre- dict that it will be crowded to the full capacity all summer and fall. i McAlpine is Mad. Ex-Judge James Joelaud is in great danger of bodily harm; also Walt Lee- man, when M. McAlpine gets hold of that pair of old sports. McAlpine gave Joelaud a contract to do some painting, and he wanted it done at ance and no fooling. Walt likes to fish, but he doesn’t like to fish alone. And so it came to pass that Walt stole Joelaud away from his job and the two drove out to Shoal Lake where they fished for black suckers, the which are plentiful there, and they made suekerhead soup and had a high old time for a couple of days or so. McAlpinesays Joeland want- ed the suckers for brain food, but de- clares that he will knock what brains the poor painter possesses out of him when he shows up and also kick the suckerhead soup out of him. We hope for the best possible results. * A Much Needed Improvement It is unnescessary to call public at- tention to the fact that Kindred ave- nue between Third and Second streets is in a deplorable condition, and steps should be taken at once to cover up the loose sand with some material that would in a measure make that thoroughfare reasonably passable. Some years ago, when the late D. W. Doran was president of the village he donated teams and men in connec- tion with other enterprising citizens, to cover the street with saw dust. For one season that was a great im- provement, but of course it was only temporary. The street committee should take this matter in hand and evolve some scheme that will relieve a long suffering public. A little agita- tion of the subject would no doubt produce the desired results, RE RE eae ee ee ae ae eae eae ae ea deceit 4 The Best is The Cheapest.
