The High School Buiding. Work on the high school building is progressing very fayorably and Contractor King will not be far amiss on his original statement that the building will be ready to turn over to the board about the first of August. Nothing rewains of the construction to be completed except a portion of the interior carpeuter work. The Burgess Electric company of Duluth, was awarded the contract to wire the building. H. Kelley & Co., of Min- neapolis, are doing the heating and plumbing wok. The wiring and heating work was begun about ten days ago and will be completed as soon as the carpenters are out of the way. The only extra money expended on the entire job in addition to the original amount contracted for, will be $200, for the raising of the floor of the auditorium to au incline of two feet and six inches. The beard is very well pleased with the progress being made with the building. Everything will be in readiness by September first, when school will open. Out of 110 papers sent to the state high school board from Grand Rap- ids Central school 106 were approved. ‘This is indeed a very creditable record, and speaks much for Principal Carroll and his corps of teachers. If this school record continues in the future as ithas in the past five years Grand Rapids will become famous as an educational center.

CMLL V&A WULF Humes of the St. Cloud office will golent road might change its survey to from the land office there to Cass Lake. The territory which the new land district takes from Duluth is atl in Itasca county, and lies south of towns 64 and 153, and west of range 23. This is the oldest part of Itasca county, as far as land office purposes are concerned the better part of the country still remains in the Duluth district. Death of Father Yancy Many people of Grand Rapids will remember Rey. W, C. Yancy, father of M. A. Yancy, who visited here about four years ago. His death occured at Creston, lowa, on June 24. Mr. Yancy was notified of his aged father’s serious illness but was un- able to reach the old home in lowaun- tileight hours after the good old man had passed to his eternal reward. The deceased was 86 years of age, and he had preached the gospel for sixty- five years, being an ordained minister of the M. E. denomination. His funeral was one of the largest ever seen in Creston, the Daily Advertiser devoting over a column anda haif space toa resume of his long and use fullife. The following brief tribute to his memory is taken from the Creston Advertiser: ‘He was respected not only for his age but for his Christian lifeand his worthy citizenship. He was known to almost every man, woman and child in the city who re- vered him and treated him with the most courteous consideration. His long and useful life leaves a story to the generation that contains lessons ot practical yalue and are worthy of emulation. A profound sorrow takes possession of every heart over the death of this good man.” Surveying for Railroads. Railroad surveyors bave been re- ported at work on a line between Rice and Sandy lakes of late and the supposition is that it is in the interest of a proposed line of the Great North- ern closing the gap between Swan Riverand Mora. The general belief has been that wheu the Great North- ern got ready to build through this territory it would build from Milaca to Deer River but this may not be the case.. From Mora to Swan River isa shorter distance but a road be- tween these points would only benefit the eastern part jot the county and the Northern Pacific would probably be crossed 1n the vicinity of Kim- berly or McGregor. The principal-object of the Great Northern company in building such a line would undoubtedly be to head off the Minneapolis, Superior & North- -western and keep the field clear of competition, butas Aitkin; the Hill City country,thenew coal district and Grand Rapids would be left out, a Mora and Swan River line would effect the business of the M.S. & N. W., only in the east Mille Lacs ter- the west side of Mille Lacs, and run a spur into Brainerd from the lake. But the whole game of railroad building is guess work on the pait of the public. The Great Northern may have no intention of building but may be sending out a suryeying party as a cheap bluff. The peuple want to see the independent road up here and they have the correct route to fill the needs of the public. How Cheap Baking Powder is Made. A recent seizure of a lot of “cheap” baking powders by the authorities of a neighboring city has exposed the character of the low priced brands of baking powders which many manu facturers are offering throughout the country. The price of the powder first, attracts altention to them Samples were taken and analyzed. The official report of the analysis showed the stuff te be “alum pow- ders,” composed chiefly of alum, sulphuric acid and pulverized rock. The powders were declared dangerous to health and several thousand pounds were confiscated and destroy- ed. Physicians have frequently caution- ed consumers against mixing food with these so-called “cheap” baking powders. They are-all found, when analyzed, to cuntain large percentages of alum and sulphuric acid to which are added various sorts of - filling matter sometimes both injurious and hasty. The high class. cream of tarter baking powders, are Lhe most econ- omical and wholesome and should always be selected fur use. They will be found cheaper in the end, besides making the food better and more healthful. Another Lron Mine Says the News Tribune of Saturday last: “W. B. Holman, the Grand Rapids. Minn., man. who cleaned up somathing like $30,000 last year as a result of the discovery ot iron ore on a forty which be owned on the western Mesaba, seems to be in a fair way to land another iron mine. He has an option for lease on land in 26- 58-20, half a mile south of the She- nango mine, and has a drill in ore. He says the drill was in ore three days when the crew ran out of water. The ore was found under sixty feet of surface. P. H. Martin is joint owner with Mr. Holman inthe option for lease.” \ Excursions over Great Northern Agent Fry has been advised by General Passenger Agent Whitney that. the Great. Northern railway has decided to run a popular excursion from Grand Forks, Crookston and in- termediate points to Duluth and re- turn, leaving Grand Forks on the morning of July 10th, Returning the train will leave Duluth gt 2:30 p. m.| July 12. 25c 19c 15c 10c Come in The Freo Siow. The Quaker Medicine company No. 3 with their entertainers, George and Nettie McCormick and Henry Brooks, have been amusing large audiences at the corner of Seventh street and Leland avenue, since ‘Tuesday even- ing. The organization comes here under the management of Brothers Amos and Tully and will remain all ; of next week, giving an entire change of program each evening, and the ad- mission is free—gratis—likewise for nothing. ‘The object to be attained is the advertisement of the famous remedies of the original Quaker Medi- cine company, of Portland, Oregon, whose goods are protectel by United States copyrighted trademark and every package is sold under a positive guarantee. The company has its offices in rooms 3 and 4 at the Po- kegama hotel and their office hours are between 10 and 12 every day except Sunday. They confine their attention entirely to the treatment of chronic diseases. Tbe show is one of unusual merit and deserves the attendance of every- one seeking amusement. It is clean, moral and refined and while some speech making is indulged in by Brother Tully, this part will be found to be far from uninteresting. He Loaded Too Ueavy. M. A. Sexton, a tote teamster for Price Bros., came to town the first of the week and combined business with pleasure to such an extent that Officer Mahon found it unecessary to confine him in Sheriff Hoolihan’s hotel over night. Mr. Sexton im- magined that he could handle as big a load as could his four-borse teain and he proceeded to load up. After starting up Prairie river road he became involved in a difficulty with his horses which resulted in breaking the wagon pole. He managed to turn back to town and land at the Poke- gama barn without meeting with serious accident, but how he happened to be lucky enough to save his own life aud bring his horses in safely is a miracle that only a man with a jag could experience. After his return to town Sexton became a bad actwr, for the which he paid a fine of $3 and costs in Judge Huson’s court Wed- nesday morning. Cheap Rate Excursion.
