A WONDERFUL GROWTH The New Village of Nashwauk Still Climbs to the Front, No town in Northern Minnesota has ever enjoyed so rapid and sub- stantial a growth as lias Nashwauk, the mining metropolis of Itasca coun- ty; The townsite plat was filed of record about one year ago, and today itis one of the well conducted and wealthy villages of this rich region. The population of the town has in- creased during a little more than one year from 0 to over 2,00 people, and it is not over estimating the possibil- ities to predict that within the next Grand Rapids in population. works are being ifstalled, a new school house is being erected, and while people are there for business and.are doing: business, they are not overlooking the necessity of modern conveniences in all thiugs that com- bine to build and make permanenta modern municipality. A business announcement published on the cigth page of this’ issee of the Herald-Re- view makes known the recent plat- ting of a new addition to the original townsite of Nashwauk, by E. J. Longyear. There are: still good op- portunities in the new town for profit- aule investment and we predict that lots will go like hot cakes in a lum- ber camp. It’s a good place to invest in real estate, is Nashwauk. ¢ MAJOR LACEY CATCHES BASS. The Iowa Congressman Says the “lowa ~ Idea” is Not Authority. Major John F.

The Merntts bass ought to carry some weight. In company with Mr. Graffam the Major spent three days at Spider lake, and in a confidential interview with the Herald-Review he said the ‘‘lowa idea” of black bass was all wrong. “We may know a thing or two about cattle and corn, grains and grasses, but when it comes to bass we’er totally ignorant until we get a few ocular demonstrations and a little practical experience up here in Northern Minnesota,” said the major with enthusiasm. ‘“There’s nothing like’it anywhere I’ve ever fished, and |.
