A Boom Article, “People that come to Northome now do not have to get off the trainin the mud. The village coun- cil have laid a temporary two plank sidewalk from the depot up town where it meets the main walks of of town. This will be good news two those contemplating on coming here.” The forgoing is from the Northome News, and we trust that Herald- Review readers who ‘contemplating oncoming here” in twos or threes will not forget to use that two plank walk.

INATURAL FLOW HELD BACK In Consequence of the Present Policy Parsued the Itasea Paper Company Will Be Unable to Operate The | Plant During the Coming Winter. - How long will the people of this Section of Northern Minnesota meekly Submit to the whims of those in charge of the government reservoirs onthe upper Mississippi? is a ques- tion that has often been asked by the Herald-Review, but as yet remains unanswered. The public and private damage that these institutions have Wrought to the inhabitants of the upper Mississippi valley during the years they have been maintained at government expense is incalculable. They have ever been a_ public nuis- ance and deterimnet to the people that: is absolutely inexcusible in any manner or in any measure. Under the law passed by congress di- recting their maintainance it is specifically required that the natural flow of the riyer shall at no time be intefered with. This requirement has been disregarded by those in charge of the dams atall times. The Itasca Paper cempany is an institu- tion that is of greater value to the country in any six months of its op- eration than all the dams combined have been during the years of their existance. Today the natural flow of the Mississippi is beiag witheld by the shutting down of Winmbigosh- ish dam. Unless this water is re- leased the mill will be compelled to suspend until the spring freshets raise the volume of water beyond the capacity of the dams to hold it back. This action would not be so out- rageous if there were the slightest reason for so doiig-“"But™~ there is absolutely no reason or excuse for it. As a matter of fact the engineers who make an easy living by reason of governmental maintainance of these useless reservoirs, were opposed to the utilization of the Grand Rapids water power and used every possible means to induce congress to refuse permission of its use.. Can it be that these worthies have now entered into a conspiracy to make manufacturing at Grand Rapids unprofltable? Have they deliberately undertaken to de- stroy this great water power in ad- dition to the destruction of the richest hay and agricultural lands in the upper valley? The Grand Rapids Commercial Club will hold a regular monthly meeting on Monday evening next andit is the duty of that or- ganization to take this important matter up and give it such considera- tion as it reyuires. It is not a ques- tion of imploring these governmental dependents for our rights. We should demand them. Practicing Without a License. Wm. Lawyer, a resident of Good- land,a new town on the Hibbing branch of the Great Northern, was arrested last Saturday »y Deputy Sheriff Spang on a warrant charging him with practicing dentistry with- out astate license. He had a hearing Wednesday last before Justice Huson and was bound over to the grand jury, his bond being fixed at $250. After remaining in jail until yesterday Mr. Lawver was released, Henry Hughes and Joe Nolan signing the bond. Several witnesses were summoned by the state but ouly one gave testimony. Mrs. Nellie Ness testified that Law- ver extracted twenty-seven teeth for herand accepted 50 cents each for piling said teeth. Another New Townsite. Peter McHugh has completed the platting of bis town, to be known as Crosswell, on his claim on section 21, town 152, range 27. This town is on the survey of the M. & L. railroad, about fifteen miles northeast of Northome, and is said to be the finest plat between here and the boundry line. It is level, high and dry and about half a mile from Clear Lake. one of the finest in northern Itasca.—Northome News. The Alexander Bros.

Mrs, Cecelia Kalb of Swan River Makes Complaint Against Two Daughters.

McGINNIS ACQUITTED. Defendant Charged With Conspiring to Defraud the United States Government. There was much interest felt here in the ou.come of the trial of C. Py McGinnis, a prominent Duluth land attorney,and formerly receiver of the United States land office in that city.
