In a lengfhy petition to the honor- able secretary of the war department the citizens. of Grand Rapids and Itasca courty pray that the govern- ment reservoirs be no longer man- aged in a manner that must inevitably result in the destruction of our pres- ent prosperity. Interference with the natural flow ot the Mississippi river will suspend all manutacturing indus- tries at this point and the damage to our people therefrom would be incal- culable. The petition was drawn by Hon. C. C. McCarthy and is signed jby eveyone to whom it has been presented. Copies of the document will be forwarded to Senator Nelson 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, or furniture of any kind, dry goods, hardware, etc. . 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. and Congressman Bede who will pre- sent them to the war department with recommendations that the people of Northern Minnesota be given the re- lief asked for. The facts are clearly set forth and there is reason to believe that our national representatives will be successful in their efforts. ANOTHER FOOT BALL VICTORY.
