When this is done we hope to have the neatest and handiest place of business in northern Minne- sota. We shall not only be able to handle our trade much more easily, and deliver our goods much more promptly, but at the same time be able to show you the goods so nicely and so pleas- if antly for you, to make trading here a pleasure. In the meantime, rather than to have to move many goods we are still making NEW PRICES | On all lines of goods, and such as will surely interest you. If you need a new overcoat, we can save you nearly half, or a fall suit, i. or furniture of any kind, dry goods, hardware, etc. 4 Call and see what we have to offer. Our store is rather torn up at present, but that inconvenience will be more than made up by the prices you will find. yx WANT LANDS DRAINED. Move Under Way to Reclaim Territory Now Useless for Agricultural Lands. Farmers and business men of the northwest are agitating a system of fedral- drainage of swamp lands. State Auditor Iverson has received several letters from men in northern Minnesota, and other states, asking him to assist them in the movement, and a few days ago the state auditor presented the proposition to the general land office at Washington, says the St. Paul Dispatch. A bill will probably be iutroduced pat the next congress, making an ap- propriation for this purpose. The advocates of the plan’ argue that it is just as necessary for the fedral government to appropriate is at the same timea in is the usual thing We That for carry a complete line of bogging Tools our customers. coryeish— ‘ and lumbermen’ will not only save mosey hy purchasing these money to reclaim worthless land by : things here but will g-t tools that of the highest quality, drainage as by irrigation.

HORSE @ COLLARS: cerns ar ces ey ee e right on ail classes of goods. WRECK NEAR DEER RIVER. Grain Train Left the Track and Heavy Damage Done. A freight train consisting of sixty- five cars, loaded with flax and wheat, was wrecked at 12:45 p. m., Monday, while running ata speed of twenty miles an hour, at a point two miles west of Deer River. The train was one of the numerous grain trains running between Cass Lake and Su- perior, and at the time of the wreck was trying to make Deer River to switch for the west bound passenger train. The rails gave way, from some unknown canse, and six cars of flax and two cars of wheatin the mid- dle of. the train were thrown from the track. Most of the cars were piled in splintered heaps, and together with their contents of fiax and wheat, made an indiscriminate mass of useless roll- ing stock. An Indian who was stealing a ride in one of the cars, had a very narrow escape from death. The car in which he was riding was telescoped by the car in the rear, and the Indian was pinned to the side of the car. It'took an hour to clear the broken timber away from the tov of the car and re- lease the Indian, who though severely shaken up, was notseriously damaged. Wrecking apparatus and crews from Cass Lake and Superior were soon on the ground and after seyeral hours’ work managed to clear the rails so that traffic was resumed, but it will take several day’s labor to remove and burn the debris.—Drluth Herald. Speaking about Horse Collars reminds a man with horse sense that good collars are necessary, LITC H KE y Grand Rapids Harness Man, Received about a car load the other day. In fact he has an immense stock in that line and he is selling them at right prices. Hy the way, if you need anything in the narness line-- no matter what it may be—just drop into Litchke’s store and you will find what you want. He has harness for the farmer, the logger, the dray man and the driver—harness for all purposes— and he has all kinds of horse furnishings. LIFCHEE, OP os a. Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Gommereial Printing Done Right at Right Prices : Right at the Flerald-Review Offiee, TO SETTLE NORTH MINNESOTA. The Great Northern Railway Company will Give Attention To This Section. The Great Northern road has this year put 40,000 settlers in the state of Washington. In the past few years the Great Northern has put a large population in Washingfon, and has devoted a great deal of time and money to population increase in North Dakota and Montana by means of immigration, says the Com- mercial West. The road is now about to turn its attention to the exploitation of northern Minnesota lands. Ly No- vember the company will send a force jinto northern Minnesota for the pur- pose of obtaining data on which to base immigration advertising matter. Itis the policy of the Great Nor- thern railroad to base its immigration literature on facts so that the immi- grant on settling will be disappoint- edin finding conditions better than they were represented. While the company has not made final decision, it is now the impres- sion that northern Minnesota is in the main better adapted to dairying than to general grain farming, and if this impression is not changec they will reccomend northern Minnesota asa country of great promise for dairying. This movement will bring into the state several thousand set- tlers next spring and the influx will be of.great value to the jobbing and manufacturing interests of the Minnesota cities. Another Mushroom Blossoms. The Clear Lake Mirror, published at Cropswell postofiice in Itasca county, Is the latest newspaper pro- duction. It is published by W. M. Farley & Co, The Mirror is very much in need of a printer and an editor might belp some. If the United States land offices would cause land notices to be published in newspapers only, these mushroom propositions would cease to spring into}existance wherever there hap- pens to be a few final proof publica- | personal direction of Dr. Gilbert. They will accommodate twenty-five or thirty paitents. if necessary, and hereafter there will he no need of crowding the unfortunate sick into any hovel that the authorities can get possession of. The doctor has caused the grounds to be cleared of all brush and the premises present a very attractive appearance to anyone who did not happen to know the pur- pose for which the buildings were erected. A Cass Lake Opinion. ‘The Supreme Court has recently “knocked the bottom” out of Sam Fullerton’s graft in the seizure of tanned deer and moose _ hides, claim- img them as contraband. Sam is in- dignant and almost rebels. He says that there is no longer any use trying to enforce the law, and that is just what we told him years ago. Isn’t it better to permit the settlers in the dis- trict where game abounds to care for it than to hire Sam and a lot of crafty deputies to harrass the people? Isn’t it better to kill.or drive the game out of the country and im its place fill the country with cattle, hogs and sheep? Isn’t it better for the state to have lands where deer and moose have re- cently fed cleared and put under cul- tivation so that its citizens may be fed and multiplied? The game law isa great blister upon the body politic and every man who has studied it knows this fact. Down with it and up with equal rights and human liberties. —Cass Lake ‘limes. The Sad Experience of “‘Wash.”” A sad story comes from Nashwauk which relates. the perilous predica- mentof Al Washington, known to his associates as ‘*‘Wash.” A party of sports from Grand Forks were sched- uled to arrive at Nashwauk last week. They were to camp on Snowball lake where there isan old loging camp in which they intended to reside during their outing. ‘‘Wash” was sent up to the camp a few days in advance to make it ready for occupancy hy the Grand Forks delegation. After being there for a day or two he betook him- self and his gun into the timber in tions to make. They are of no benefit to the party that supports them; no good to, the county: no good tothe poor fellows who publish them, and in fact no good on the face of the earth. They only serye to absorbe a portion of the legitimate life of legi- timate country papers. But it is none of: our pie and we should not protest. The Herald-Review is ostra- cised by the United States land office ollicials: because it is honest enough to be Democratic. At the same time we would really like to see the real newspapers and real newspaper men get that which they are by right en- titled to. The land officers should observe the state laws in selecting their publications. RUSH EXPECTED NOVEMBER 10th. The Duluth Land Office Prepares For Open- ing New Township In Itasca County. The local land office is preparing for a strenuous day November 10th when a new and fertile tract of land in the northern part of Itasca county is to be thrown open to the public, says the Duluth News Tribune. Let- ters sent to Receiver J. M. Smith indicate a lively publicinterest in the new township, and it is thought that all tue claims will be very soon filed. “The tract is a very valuable one, and all the available land will prob- ably be claimed very quickly,” said Mr. Smith yesterday. ‘‘Many settlers are already on theland, some of them having extensive improvements. We received a letter from one of these squatter settlers this week stating that the writer has already cultivated nearly a hundred acres of land, erect- ed a large barn, and a house costing $1,500. ‘Though this man has no legal title to the land, he has been there several years, and will have nv diffi- culty in retaining it by right of, priority, when the tract is thrown open. Other letters from settlers in the township showa very prosperous condition of affairs there. ‘There still remains a large acreage yet un- settled, upon which no prior claims can be laid. DETENTION HOSPITAL. Dr. Gilbert, County Physician, Has Made Am- ple Provisions For Care of County Patients. No county in the state is better provided for the care of patients suf- fering from contageous disease than is Itasca at the present time. Dr. Gilbert, county physician, bas pre- vailed upon the commissioners to provide the county with two build- ings for use by county patients. The [nttie hospitals were put up under the search of partridge, bear and other animals. ‘Wash” had been out buta Short. time when he lost himself. He soon became bewildered, and perched himself upon a high, rocky knull and waited to be found. In the course of time he was discovered by Henry Logan and Buck Barker. When ‘‘Wash” saw his approaching rescuers his mind seemed to be effected and he immagined himself to be a deer and started for the underbrush run- ning on ‘all fours.”” He was captured aftera half mile chase and by the time he reached camp had quite fully regained his self possession. Logan says his capture would have been im- possible without the aid of deer hounds had he not “butted” into a big Norway with such force as to render him unconscious, The Modern Samaritans. One of the youngest, but at the same time one of the most successful fraternal societies in this country, is the Modern Samaritans. Its success durisg the comparitively short time 1t has been in existance is almost phenominal. Naturally the people of Duluth take aspecial interest in its growth and prosperity because it is primarily a Duluth institution, having been founded by Duluth men and having its national headquarters in this city. The head of the order is a Duluth man, George H. Crosby holding the position of Imperial Good Samaritan. This tonor has been worthily-conferred, because Mr. Cros- by has always taken a deep interest in the work of the order and has done much to increase its membership and place its business upon a solid and permaneut foundation, The history of the Good Samari tans dates back only to 1892, when the order was ushered into existence in this city. Now its membership extends into Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and North Dakota and there are sixty-five local councils with a total membership of 6,000. This number will soon be greatly in- creased as the order is now exper- iencing a very rapid growth. In Du- lath it has a firm hold, while it has flourishing councils in St. Paul and Minneapolis. In Superior there isa council with 40) members, and last evening the beneficent degree, the woman’s auxiliary of the order, was established in Superior with a good sized membership. In addition to its fraternal and social features, the Modern Samaritans offer a scientific plan of insurance that combines safety and moderate cost to the in- surer. Since 1892 the order has paid $85,000 ‘in-<death claims and now has in force insurance to the amount of $8,000,000. Under its careful and en- ergetic management, the order of Modern Samaritans jis certain to at- tain large proportions, ranking with the most successful fraternal socie- tics.—Duluth Herald.
