BIG ADDITION TO: POKEGAMA - Proprietor tuut of Hotel Pokeg- ama Will Enlarge by 21 Rooms D.M. Gunn, of the Hotel Pokeg- ama, has been unable for some time to accommodate the number of people who call for accommodations and he has finally found it necessary to en- large his hotel. Plans haye been-pre- pared for the raising of the south- east part of the building to three stories, which will add twenty-vne sleeping rooms and an additional hallway. The totalcost will be about $4,600. The poriion to be raised from one story to three is 28x71 feet in dimensions. The closets in the base- ment will be changed to a new loca- tion as will also the heating plant. This change alone will incur an ex- pense of eleven hundred dollars. When the improvements included in these plans have been completed Hotel Pokegama will be prepored to accommodate the public to better satisfaction, a fact that the traveling public will appreciate.

A warrant was issued for Brock and hearing set for Wednesday. ‘The penalty for tis offense is $100 fine or ninety days in jiil, or both. In civil action thribble damages can be collected. Mr. Brock agreed to to pay Mr. Eastwood $175, where- upon prosecution was dropped. COAL IN ITASCA COUNTY. Duluth Men Interested in Coal Minning get That Promises Returns. A dispatch from St. Paul to the News-Tribune says that, the Quod- enaw Development company, of Duluth, has secured a fifty-year lease on a section of state land for the pur- pose of exploring it for coal and operating mines if the results of the drilling justify suchaction. Theland lies cluse to the southern line of Itasca county. The state will receive a royalty of 74 cents a ton on all coal mined. It will be remembered that the state royalty on coal was fixed recently by a commission composed of Alfred Merritt, of Duluth, George B Edger- ton, of St. Paul, and F. A. Dodge, of Pine City. There is no law fixing a royalty for cual in this state, anda commission was appointed at the suggestion of State Auditor Iverson to fix one. Mr. Iverson was in favor of a 15-cent royalty but the commis- sion said that would be excessive. The coal discovered on the land is bituminous, but the extent of the deposit has not been determined. A Big Fork Paper Would Repeal Game Laws and Make Drainage. The Big Fork Compass, a paper printed somewhere in Northern Itasca county, is very pronounced inits views on state drainage of lands and also on the operations of the game and fish commission. Following is its appeal tofthe press of this part of the state: “The press of Northern Minnesota has a duty tu perform—yes, two of" them. The duty is so piain that the newspaper men who can’t see itis slower than a toad in an ink can. ‘The newspaper which neglects this duty neglects the interests of the state and ignors the strongest senti- ment of Northern ‘Minnesota. That twin duty is to knock the fishand game commission out of business and to give the drainage commission a chance for its iife. Thousands of dollars of state money is being worse than wasted to make a_ bluff at en- forcing game laws that can not be enforced until either the game or the spirit of human liberty is dead in the game sections. F very editor in this region who uses his head for other purposes than a pen wiperor a cigar holder, knows that public sentiment is against the game laws and for expansion in drainage work. Then, why not do something for the public good? Why not condemn the present game law and head a protest against a further misuse of state money. No county can hate the game law more, nor hate the drainage cause less, than Itasca county. This county now has a dozeti newspapers—a mighty power; will they unite to protect the inter- ests of the people they pretend to represent? “Wake up,fboys, and wake up the yoters”’. First Consignment of “Keg”” Northome must have been a happy town on’ Monday of last week, and the inhabitants thereof were ne doubt hilarious, judging from the following news item, clipped from the Reeard: The first consignment of keg beer to arrive in Northome came. in Monday when a load was brought up for the various saloon men of the place.” —— Clean Out the Hail. The village council should pass an iron-clad ordinance making it a mis- demeanor for boys to loité& mand about Village hall. ‘That building is, and always has been, a rendezvous for every promising young vagabond in the town. They destroy village prop- erty. steal everything available, ring the fire bell for ptire deviltry, insult passersby; and in general make of themselves sucha public nuisance as only boys are capaple of. ‘These pestiferous chaps should be driven out of the fire hall and be made to keep out. ‘They should also be made to behave when enterainments are given in the hall or be summerily fired out. Poor Advice Poorly Given The Independent does'nt know much about the proper duties of a newspaper in its rélation tothe public. Neither does it know much about its own proper place in society, or vouldn’t so far forget good manners as to ven- ture advise to the Herald-Review. ‘The Independent admits the truth of all that the Herald-Review has had to say relating to the electric hght plant, and then urges, as a matter of policy, that nothing should be offered im criu- cism of the tact that the public has been swindled. This paper proposes to letthe public know the facts and place the responsibility where it justly belongs. A year hence those respons- ible for our poor and’madequate lights may claim that the present council is to blame. Boston and Return—$27.

The recent St. Andrew’s dinners, ac- cording to the Westminster Gazette, have been noteworthy for the profu- sion of Scotch stories, which in sev- eral cases fairly set the tables in a roar. Some of them have an ancient ring, but there is one that is perhaps not generally known. A doctor was attending a dangerous case where a Scotch butler was engaged. On calling in the forenoon he said to Donald: “I hope your master’s temperature is much lower to-day than it was last night.” “I’m no’ sae very sure aboot that,” replied the butler, “for he dee’d this morning.” Worth Watching. A treasury official was fortunate enough the other day to get half a ton ot coal. The precious fuel was depos- {ted on his sidewalk late in the after- noon and a colored man agreed to put ft away for a quarter. When he had finished the job the man presented a bill for 35 cents. “Why, I thought you said a quarter,” said the ofiiceholder. “A quarter for putting it in, but 10 cents extra to pay a man to watch it. You see, if some one had taken a cou- ple of handfuls you would have lost at least half a dollar."—New York World. The Sleepy Hour of Night. A head-on collision between twe freight trains on the Southern Pacific in California was due to the careless- ness of the engineer of one of the trains, who slept at his post and paid the forfeit with his life. Manager Al- ger of the Southern Pacific says that” the company has great trouble on ac- count of men succumbing to sleep be- | tween 3 and 4 in the morning. This was the time at which the accident occurred. It is the sleepy hour that _affects meh more than any other of the day cr night. ne U.S. KURTZNAN | no seHST0 Re rer ~ or tl Is the only Agent in Grand Rapids for Menominee .-- Seamless Shnhoes- He makes a specialty of Turning out the Best Quality of Durable Cruising Shoes Men’s and Boys’ Fine Shoes Always in Stock J. §.
