VEST Ir May not be necessary to mention the fact editorially or otherwise, as the subject. has been pretty well threshed over from every view pont, but the Herald. Review will join: the chorus in remarking that Fredf W, Ames, ex- chief of pobce in Minneapolis, has finally been sent to the penitentiary at Stillwater to serve six years and six months. He acted bad while in office, Bas eg a Tue Little Fork Guardian arrived this week to make the acquaintance of the Herald-Review. It is 4rom the Little Fork postoffice, and 1s published by. D. K.McPherson. The -editor is somewhat inched to be dry- ly humorous. and_ were it not for an “overflow of land notices he would get out quite a breezy pubiication, Sean aera “Munn1z,” writing under a Min- mneapolis date to.the Princeton Union, tells the following truth: “When you hear a superintendent brag. about his snmmer. school attendance just re- member what he means. He means that a majority of the teachers, after from six to nine months hard work have been obliged. to give up their vacation to take issued | when they ought to be'resting to get strengthdor their next year’s work. It, without feason or decent excuse and, we coifipensate our teachers for this slavery with the princely salaries of 1 an “Outrageous” and se $27 a month.” THE superintendent of schools of Reltrami county has refused to visit schools under his jursisdiction on the plea that his salary of $800 per year is not sufficient to enable him to com- ply with the law. As a consequence the commissioners have instructed the county auditor not to issue any more warrants to the superintendent. 2 leit THE SHOW WAS A FAKE. The Osakis Review: It would seem that the mayor of Park Rapids, might find some easier way of showing his‘uuthority and of displaying u bad temper than by slapping a Methodist preacher, just because the man of cloth protested agulust the wide-open Way the mayor had of running things. You've got it wrong end first, Mr. Review. It was the preacher who slapped the mayor, But it was done under circumstances that bespeaks ht- tle in the preacher’s behalf. He was backed by a party of mad matrons who had their fighting trouserets on and they were all aching to get a crack at the poor mayor. As the story is told to the Herald-Review, it appears that during the festivities of the firemen’s tournament at Park Rapids there was a sort of fake street show that advertised a hoochie-coochie dance within a tent, in which the virtuous matrons of the village be- came very much interested. After holding several heated conventions the good old girls concluded to make a raid on the coochie, and they did sa headed by the village preacher, Im- agine their consternation and disgust when they found within the tent only one frail and foolish damsel all dressed in conventional skirt, shirt-waist, shoes and stockings—just a very ordinary looking girl doing a very ordinary dancing stunt. It was then that their wrath knew ro bounds and they start- ed in a bo-!y down the street after the mayor, again headed by the meek and lowly disciple of the founder of Chnistianity, and the fight above. men- It must have been that the mayor was assaulted for ob- tioned followed. taining money for the tournament un- der false pretenses, There wasn’t any hoochie-coochie at all. eee sag OG a A New Industry Started.

ROBERT DOES’NT KNOW YET Ex-State Auditor Dunt Pays Grand Rapids a Visit But Refuses to Talk Politics. Hon, R. C. Dunn had a little busi- ness to do in Grand Rapids this week, and as is his habit when he has any- thing to do, he did it. The assessor evidently took a look into, the future and had a vision of a great’ city at Great Falls, one of Itasca county’s new townsites, and he placed an assessed valuation on the land in keeping with his foresight. Mr. Dunn 1s interested in the ‘new’ townsite and also:in some lands thereabouts and he didn’t feel like paying taxes on futures, so he came to town and explained the mat- ter to the the commissioners. in his usual explicit style and they agreed with him that the tithe was a_ little severe, and accordingly a satisfactory adjustment was reached. As the most prominent probable candidate, at the present time, of the Republican party for governor of Minnesota in 1904, the Herald-Review undertook to pump a political interview out of the gen- tlemen from Princeton, but he :efused to stand for the reporter’s work. In reply toa remark concerning all this gubernatorifl talk in the press of the state and the _ significance that might be attached to the discus- sion of himself in that connection, Mr. Duna replied that this is the year when possible governors are made impossible, and that itis entirely too tar in ad- vance of convention time to lay awake nights dreaming of the maybes or to spend the days in discussing possibiti- ues. “I have no doubt whatever that Ithe people of Minnesota will elect a governor in the fall of 1904, and that the Repubtican party will do the elect- ing, but that is about as far as it 1s safe to speculate just now,” said he. “Don’t you know,” Mr, Dunn con- tinueed, “there’s a lot of satisfaction in being out of politics and out of office for a time, and to get a genuine relief from it all. I’m. enjoying life et home in Princeton with my family and friends in a way that I haven’t known for eight years past, and ’d like to forget politics entirely. But ‘that’s impossible. Yes, of course d’ve heard my name mentioned in con- nections with the governorship a few hundred times through the press and through friends, but I don’t think it has seriously effected me yet.” And that’s about as far as “Bob” would venture on the subject. Notwith- | a course of study lon any of the bnsiness streets, and formidab‘e of the gubernatorial possi- standing the apparent unconcern as to his pohtical future, it is nevertheless true that today Mr. Dunn 1s the most i ortunities for Investment. its Immediate Vicinity but in Ad y Thereto and Which are Rapidly B is Destined to become a Popular Summer Resort.

A Pen Picture of the Hardy Men Who Lead The Way to Civilization. The man who shoulders his pack and his ax and goes forth into the wild reaSivus to carve out a home for himself is notonly a patriot but a citizen whose worth and influence will some day be felt in the administra- tion of the state which claims his allegiance. The trackless forests and the broad swelling prairies may have an attrac- tion, and facipate the passer by as he views them from the guilded coach which hurls him through space at 4 speed which would have driven him to dispair and destruction half a century ago, pul the pioneer, with q month’s provision on his back, as he plods along through the untrodden wilds sees beauty and peaceand quiet- ude in the rocks and the trees which obstruct his way, and shelter him from the angry stormsof cruel winter, and afford shelter and warmth when the blast. blows fiercest and the great. snow banks pile up about his modest shack. steader in the northern forestis beset And yet the life of the home- with incessant toil and hardships; everyday brings a necessity which must be met and conquered, every day from sunrise to sunset means hard work and inmany cases destitution; }. but the bravest of the brave never}, never ai HAey as: falter and he is when he lays down his heavy pack of the necessities of life and sees the }. family enjoy them. ‘The druggery of carrying the pack over old logs and through swamps, perhaps up to his knees in water is all forgotten while he lies back in his rude chair and contemplates that it will be a whole wonth before he must repeat the journey. He knows what hardships are, yet his life is one of independence and happiness, for be sees in the future a broad farm with all that man can covet, and is content to apply his brain and muscle to attain i it. Go to his rude home and see the. contentment that prevades every nouk of the Jog cabin which shelters him and his family, see the half filled pantry and the empty flour barrel, and look in vain for the luxuries which you .are wont to think are negessities, but don’t pity him or his, for be is as proud and independent as you are and some day will show him- self your equal if not your superior.— | Cass Lake ‘Times.
