A Grand Repics Deraia-"Review 1 Published Every Saturday. | By E. C. KILEY. ZF? DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE tered in the Postofiice at Grand Rapids ” ‘Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter w———::.0—om—o—ovOo=— Tue people of Hibbing have en- jloyed a gala week celebrating the ‘tenth anniversary of the city’s exist- ‘ance. The big carnival was visited and enjoyed by many thousands. pee SBE A DeLacy Woon’s Ely Iron Dyn- amo has reached the Hereld-Review sanctum,. It is a first-rate appearing publication and starts out with a right smart supply of advertising, A. De- Lacy threatens to remain in Ely per- gmanently. ~~ Tue Hubbard County Clipper told the Wadena Tribune and the Wadena -Jnbune told the Herald-Review ‘that a half interest in the Park Rapids ‘Enterprise has been sold to aman named Harridon, who » will take editorial charge, leaving Brother Cobb more tim: for the development of his growing property at Grand Rap- ids,”. oo Axout the biggest thing out in con- nection with Hibbing’s big anniver- sary celebration and carinval was Edjtor Atkinson’s special edition ot his Mesaba Ore. It was truly a great paper, and well deserved the splendid advertising patronage ac- ‘corded it by the enterprising business gmen of the Mesaba mining metrop- lis. Aitkinson publishes one of the best weekly papers in this northern country at all times, and when he makes a special effort the result is a thing of beauty and a life’tonic to the town it represents. Tue editor of the Herald-Review is ashamed of the unkept and lone- some appearance ofthis page. And the worst of it is it has thus been un- kept anc lonesome—‘“flat, stale and unprofitable”—for so long a time, and appears to be becoming no better so fast that we are getting disheartened. Even our most companionable and entertaining friends of the exchange table have been neglected of,late. Rut there appears to beno remedy, un- less ‘we positively refuse to further look after the boodle end of this news and fiotion factory. : pia: a Sa, In crvinc brief mentions of the old- est inhabitants of Hibbing, Will ‘Thomas says in his Sentinel: ‘Notice that sign on the side of James Dillon’s city drays, which reads: ‘Pioneer Drayman.’ That-is correct. »-In 1894, before mama and papa got busy and built a home nest of our own, this sames James Dillon moved us six times in one year on an advertisement con- tract of $1.09 per—Jim to furnish the per, And Jim never hollered—never squealed! Noah’s ark couldn’t hold the heart of a man like that—which is probably the reason of his great suc- cess.” That sounds like Thomas. pa is TERE aig THE TWO COMBINES, The.St. Paul Dispatch, represent- ing the Lowery-Munn-Canadian-Pa- cific wing of the republican party of thisstate, charges:that there is a Hill- Dunn-Heatwole — political combina- tion which has for its object the con- trol uf the politics of the state. Here is the way the Dispatch puts it: It is the combination on one side, popular rights on the other; merger against anti. merger; Heatwole against Clapp; Dunn against the republican administration ;:cor- porate greed and selfishness against public honesty and fairness. On one side are Van Sant, Eddy. Senator Nelson, Senator Clapp, the republican state central committee, the men who have built up the republican party in Minnesota, the men who fought the good fight again the merger. On the other, Hill, Heatwole, Dunn, Shevlin, Jones, Young, the lumber barons, the mer- ger crowd, and the men who refused to sup- port the repnblican policy in the last cam- paign, and the men who hope to circumvent the efforts of the courts to save the people the rights of competition. What the Dispatch says in regard to the combination may be true but that paper is the organ of a:yang that is as bad if not worse than the one it attacks. It was the Lowery-Van Sant outfit that debauched the state board of equalizatiun last year and traded low tax assessments for cam- paign boodle. _Thatis what the Heatwole-Dunn faction openly charge and they openly support the charge witb the strongest’ kind of circum- stantial proof. It is quite evident that the honest tax-payers’ interests are in very dan- gerous hands and regardless of which outfit wins.the people are likely to be held up. ‘The only safe and sensible thing to do, under the circumstances, is to let the rascals tear each other to pieces and tax payers of all parties turn in and elect a good democrat who will give ustwo years of honest govern- ment, Jike unto that. which we had under John Liod.—The Fairmont Sentinel. — od ANOTHER BIG TRANSACTION. Deering Harvester Company Turn Over Their Ore Interests on This Range. A Chicago dispatch says: A deal was con- sumuated in thiscity by. which the Interna- tional Harvester company of this city takes over the extensive iron ore holdings of the Deering Harvester company. on the Mesaba and Baraboo ranges for a consideration of about $3,500,000. The International Harvester company will manufacture its iron and steel of which it consumes enermous quantities, from its own ore. This means that the International Har- vester corporation has determined to follow the example set by the Deerings: before 4 entered the combine, of controlling the raw terial. e:deal is easily the biggest of the year’ as affecting the control of iron properties. The International Harvester company was formed fast fall by a combination of the har. vesting departments of the McCormack and Deering companies. The iron ore division of the Derring was not included in the combine, the International Harvester company at that time being undecided as to whether it wished to produce its own ore.‘ It now appears that |- the corporation has decided to do so, and the deal for the Deering iron properties bears this out. ‘The International Harvester company ‘aa a result of this purchase has acquired the Hawkins mine at Nashwauk and the Agnew mine at Hibbing on the Mesaba range; the LaRue 1 and 2in the new Baraboo district in Wisconsin, and two small properties at Crystal Falls, It is impossible perhaps to give anything Nke an approximate estimate of the amount of ore tonnage thus placed at the commund ofthe big harvester corpora- tion, but it is probably not less than 75,000,000 tons. The Hawkins mine is a large property, containing 40,000,000 tons. The Agnew mine is of important extent though not as large asthe Hawkins. The LaRue property inthe Bara- boo district has been estimated by one author- ity at 10,000,000 tons. The Crystal Falls prop. erties are said to be of comparatively small extent. Allof the mines in the Internation- al’s list contain large proportions of high grade ore to the whole. The Hawkins mine is the largest on tho western Mesaba, and was the pioneer in the matter of the development in that district which followed the new awakening in the iron and steel business a few years ago. The Hawkins mine was the beginning of the new town of Nashwauk, and the discovery of large deposits tributary to that point called for the building of a town of importance, and it is now conceded that Nashwauk will become a second Hibbing within a few years. The fee of the Hawkins mine is owned by R. L, McCormack, of Hayward, Wis., anu others. The property was leased and ex- plored by Senator E. B. Hawkins, O. D, Kin- ney, George Crosby and Captain J. H. Pearce, of Duluth and they sold the lease to the Deering Harvesting company about two years ago, The mine shipped a few sample cars Jast fall, and were prepared for heavy shipping this spring. Two systems of mining provail, undergrownd and open pit. The Agnew mine is also a new property and became ® shipper last year for the first time. The fee is owned by M. H. Alworth and others and is located near the village of Hibbing. : SUICIDE OF J. G. HINKLE. Former Réal Estate Owner And Dealer In Grand Rapids Property. John G. Hinkle was well-known to all early residents of Grand Rapids. He was at one time quite heavily interested in village property, but during the days of his adversity had sold everything at a sacrifice. He erected the building at the corner of Second street and Leland avenue, now owned and occupied by A. M. Johnson: The following account of his death appeared in the St. Paul Globe on Tuesday of. last. week; “John G. Hinkel), an old resident. of 4 St. Paukand well known: in busiwess circles, ‘ended his life yesterday morn- ing by sending a bullet intohis brain. He had left his home, 93 Kent street, at an early hour to take his customa- ry morning walk, and after sitting for awile at the back door of Kane’s grocery store, Selby and Mackubin, he rose, took a revolver from his pocket, pointed it at his right temple and pulled the: trigger.

HInKEL. ‘The note, penned before leaving his fortune which had pursued Mr. Hinkel during the past years. Though at one time accounted a- wealthy man, having an important position in the business life of the city, during recent years he had lost what he had, and, to add to his troubles, during the past vear, he had been ‘suffering from ill health. - l ’ Hinkel had resided in St. Paul since fl 1856, when he came to this city with his parents.

In 1884 Hinkel became interested heavily in Merriam park real estate and was one of the owners of the land included in Union park when it was platted. “He was formerly regarded as a wealthy man, but with the collapse of the boom he lost heavily, and dur- ing the hard times that followed, he left St. Paul and located at San Diego, Cal., where he established a brewery. The venture proyed unsucessful, and Hinkel then returned to St. Paul and became agent for the Longsdorf Sons Tobacco company of New York, and continued his connection with that company until.Jast January, when j1) health compelled him to retire from business. Since then -he had been doing nothing. ‘5 be cipal decal tal atin oe ‘5 eet se ea ae ee ae a a a A Favorite Resort for refreshments and where may be seen and beard one of the largest phonograpbs in the world is at~ = JNO.
