TO CAMP ON POKEGAMA. Prof. Hiram W. Slack of St. Paul Will Again Give School Boys an Outing. A camp for scaool boys, far up in the Northern Minnesota woods, is the institution that. has been estab- lished by Hiram W. Slack, of this city, reports a St. Paul dispatch of recent date. Such a one was located at Lake Pokegama last summer and was inhabited for some months by about fifty boys, ranging from 11 to 19 yearsof age. Auother sueh camp will be located at the same place this summer, the season to begin June 30th and end August 26th. Nine months in the school room often leaves boys pale, fagged, listless and without appetite, and such ip need of vut door tonic of hunting, fishing, rowing and plenty of fresh air, such as can be obtained by camping out. ‘The feature of thisscheme is that the boys can be given good care while their parents have not the opportuni- ty to share the outing with them. Last year’s little colony was gathered together from St. Paul, Toledo, Ohio, Kansas City, Hot Springs, Winona and Minneapolis. The party’ was organized here, and traveled together to Duluth, aad from there about one hundred miles to the beauty spot, where the camp is situated. Ou the way a day was spent in Duluth. The party investigated the shipping in- terests of the city. The great freight steamers were a revelation to many of the bors. and the amount of grain and iron aud other ores, shipped from that point, impressed upon them forcibly the 1esou of the state. Many of the mines were aflerward Visited, aud, as the camp is well within the pine land region, both the commercial and artistic possibilities of the state were appreciated to the utmost. The boys lived tents and had their meals served Ly an expert cook, who was able to give them such in- formation as to the proper prepara- tion of game and fish, as they needed, and in their tramps and conoeing trips, sometiaes of Lwo or three day’s in duration, they learned about camp fires, as well as many of the more subUle things of value to the woodsman. They learned the sigus infallible and ownipresent, by which the Indians knew direction. detected approaching storms, or trailed their game. They learned of geography, uatural history and botony, and acquired a general storcjor philosophy. Living on the shores of the lake, and under the watchful eye of vlder men, they learned to swim, and became fearless and expert in the handling of boat They were taught all the most sur sful methods of tisbing. and ¢ ed rigorous justruction in the proper and improper use of fire- | arms. The benefits of such a season for a boy are almost incalculable. ‘They live close to the heart of nature. They are thrown into associations with new comers, strangers from different parts of the country. Every mouvement of the day is tilled with something new, and at night, tired out with healthful physical exercises, they sleep the sweet invigorating slumber which follows days of exist- ence out of doors, and they wake in the morning to devour the eggs, bacon, fish and wild fruits which are spread for them, with an appetite which would scorn the trifling orange, toast and coffee of their city breakfast. The canip is on the shores cf Lake Pokegama, about three miles from the village of Grand Rapids, which is the base of supplies, and to which point mail is sent for and dispatched several days a week. ‘The boys take banjos, mandolips, violins aud horns with? them, and tennis and base ball furnish occupation for the hours when there is no other matter in hand. The director supplies booksand maga- zines, and reading aloud and singing serve to while away the days which are rainy or dull. The average age of the boys last year was 15, and there was not one serious accident, nor illness to disturb the season. ADDITIONAL LOCAL Mrs. E. T.

It is wired from Washington that Representative Steenerson and ‘Tams Bixby are in the Capital city and are making a-strong effot to have the new United States land office located at Bemidji instead of Cass Lake. It is said that Representative Buckman also favors the transfer from Cass Lake to Bemidij. The selection of Cass Lake was made upon the recomn- mendation of Mr. Richards, the coar missiouer of the land office, and be is away from Washingtou and will not return till June 20th, it isnot thought that Secretary Hitchcock wili take any steps without consulting the commissioner. Itis also pointed out that in erder to transfer the land ottice from Cass Lake to any other point an executive order from the presideut would be necessary. It is uot thought that Secretary Hitchcock will seriously encvertain a proposition two remove it from Cass Lake, but Steenerson and Bixby are going to make a strong effort to secure the change. We Demand the Names. Under the caption “Caught on the Run,” the Duluth News Tribune tells the following tale: ‘These homely, unsophisticated chaps that we never suspect of sharp practices sometimes get the better of tbe more experienced of us,” said a representative of a lum- ber firm from Itasca county yesterday. “I told a bomestedder a few months ago that I would give him as much for his pine as anybody else and in a few days he showed me a letter from a big tirm offering him $1,200. This was $300- more than I thought the property was worth but I paid the $1,200. Later 1 saw the man from whom the letter was received and learned that the recipient had ‘raised’ tbe offer from $900 to $1,200, I was caught for a few hundred the same way by a chap whom you would never suspect of doing such a thing. He made arrangements with a telegraph operator to send him a message offer- ing bim a certaim price, and signed the name of a promainentlumber firm. He showed me the telegram and I came to that price and closed the deal at once. I found out later the lumber firm had sent no message of any kind vo the man.” Modern Progress. The Rock Island railroad is the latest convert to the value of adver- tising. Since it changed owners last sum- mer, it has branched out in a way that has surprised the railroad world. Krom the most conservative of west- ern lines, it has become one of the most aggressive. Advertisements of the Golden State Limited, the Rock Island’s new Cati- fornia train, appear in a'most all the magazines and weeklies of national circulation, as well as hundreds of daily papers east of the Missouririver. As a result of this advertising, the Rock Island is now handling the | largest California travel in the his- tory of the road. Some of the catch plirases which the Rock Island is using aredecidedly unique. Among them are: Rock Island Meals are the Best on Wheels; The Rock Island States of America; To the Land of Flowers in 68 Hours. BUSINESS MEN’S CARNIVAL. The Entertainment at Villege Hall Thursday and Friday Evenings Well Attended.

The entertainment was very similar to the “May carniyal” giyen here scme years ago. The Johnson-Smith Car- nival company were the promoters of the entertainment. They intesested the laidies of the church and the business and professional men of the village responded very liberally. Nearly all places of business were represented by a young lady who was dressed ina manner to suggest the line of business desired to be thus advertised. Other appropriate rep- resentations were also employed. The Weekly Shoot. The Itasca Gun club held their reg- ular weekly shoot yesterday afternoon, andasa result W. J.
