The foregoing quotation was publish- ed officially in the Herald-Review. A search of the tiles of theGrand Rapids Magnet, which was the official village paper during 1901, fails to disclose the publication of any official call for bids for the construction of the bridge. The county officials also disclaim any knowledge of the exist- ance of a contract with Lindauer, as does also the township authorities. It was understood by the public in fall of 1901 that a contract had been ehtered into with Mr. Lindauer by the village that the county and town- ship were to ussist in the payment of the same. It appears that Mr. Lin- duuer acted in good faith as the stone abutments have been built according if specifications which the Paper ill company received from D. M. Gunn, then pre-ident of the village council. A.C. Bossard, managerfor the Itasca Paper’ company, assures the Herald-Review that the bridge will be completed in about one munth, The work has been done and should be paid for, and no doubt the matter will be satisfactorily adjusted, but at the present time it appears that nobody wishes to assume the respon- sibility. The stone abutments are constructed in a very substantial Manner and the» work appears to have been done in first-class shape, The old bridge is certainly in a bad condition and the municipality is fortunate in getting out of it without having to pay some heavy damages through accidents. The new bridge is expected to arrive ina few days from the Modern Steel Structural company, the makers, of Waukeshaw. Wisconsin. It will be one hundred 4eet span, twenty feet wide for team use and six feet walk onthe side for H. S. HUSON IS GOMMANDE After a Hard Battle the Itasea County, Veterans Succeeded in Getting the Next Park * Region Encampment Held Hoar. | Word was received in Grand Rapids) Thursdav afternoon that Judge H. 8. Huson had been elected department commander of the Park Region so!-| diers association and that Grand Rapids had been selected as the next) place far the holding of the next annual encampment, which will be) next July. ‘This. will be welcome. news tu the people of this town, who, will make elaborate preparations to) entertain the good old veterans in a) most becoming manner. A special report received by the Herald-Review, announced that the Itasca represen- tatives were all well and enjoying themselves except Al. Kenniston, who had attempted to ride a merry- ge-round horse to which he drove the spures most unmercifully until the bucking broncho frantically put his rider in the clear with such force that a rib or two were broken. The ‘report states that the patient was resting easy on a stretcher in the camp. There were between five and six Thousand old soldiers and members of the Woman’s Relief Corps present at the encampment. Over one hun- dred tents were pitched on the camp- ing grounds on the shores of Bemidji lake.

The bridge was condemned as being unsafe and the imperative uecessity of building a new one was advocated by the three committeemen. Bids were advertised fur by the village council, plans and specifications were received and through some means Mr. L. Lindauer, of the Itasca Paper compaby, considered that he hada contract at $5,100 for the construction of the bridge according to plans and specifications submitted.

The letter has been placed in the hands af the postal aathoriiies and the guil- ty parties are known to Mr. Phillips. Tbe Duluth News Tribune got Hold of the letter and gave the following to the public: ‘Archie Phillips, one of the deputy game wardens of Du- luth, has received a threatening letter from a supposed pot hunter over on the Western Mesaba. The deputy warden is informed that “We GROWTH OF NORTHERN CITIES. Range Directory Shows an Increase ‘in Northern Minnesota Towns. According to BR. L, Polk & Co.’s di- rectory of the range towns for 1903, the aggregate population of twenty towns covered is 48,500, as compared with 33,300 two years ago. There are three new towns in the list this year, however—Chisholm, Nashwauk and Scanlon. ‘The population of Grand Rapids as estimated from the direc- are laying for you,” and the whole trend of the epistle is that the deputy had better stay away from that sec- tion unless he wishes to hear some- thing drop. The letter was post- marked at Nashwauk. The bulk of the writing is not fit for publication. It is a combination of threats, pro- fanity and vulgarity. lt is under- stood that the postal authorities learned of the epistle and made some inquiries regarding it, but did not follow it up. S. F. Fullerton, execu - tive agent of the state game and fish commission, it is expected. will make an investigation and see if there is not some way of reaching the men who thus openly defy the laws and threaten those who have been selected to enforce them. The business of killing game out of season for protit is suid to be quite extensive in the territory north of Duluth, and as is indicated by the letter received by Mr. Phillips, some of them are bold and lawless. Moose is the variety of game which suffers most from pot hunters inthis state. The difficulty of reaching such offenders is said to be due in large part to limited funds.” TROUBLES OVER A HIGHWAY The Jessie Lake Public Road Embroglio Not Yet Settled. A number of Jessie lake citizens were in Grand Rapids last Saturday to getlaw. The township authorities insist that a road which runs through the homestead of John H.

Fhinney Land company, with head- quarters at Herman, Minn., was in town the first of the week. Mr. Puinney’s company own the new townsite of Goodland on the Swan River branch of the Great Northern running into Hibbing. The town is located about six miles north of Swan River. It bas some advantages that will operate to make Goodland a pros- perous village in a short time. Located in the midst of a rich agri-- cultural district that is rapidly set- tling up with an intelligent and in-- dustrious class of farmers, the trade from which will naturally go to Good- land, will alone be sufficient to build« up a good sized village. The Phinney company is just now directing its at- tentign to the settlement of town- ship 54-23, in which the new townsite- is located. This township is one of” the richest in agricultural lands in: this part of the states It contains a large amount of hardwood that will finda ready market as fast as it can located at the townsite of Goodland one saw mill, hotel and two saloons, A geperal store will soon be there.
